Angevine Genealogy by Clyde V. Angevine, pp. 111-112:
He married Phoebe Mott 26 Sep 1831 in New York.

"Civil List & Constitutional History of New York State" 1886 by Edgar A Warner p. 479:
Lewis W. Angevine, County Treasurer Nov 1857.

"History of Queens Co, NY" 1882 W W Munsell & Co. p. 185 - photograph, signature & article about Lewis W. Angevine. Excerpts from this article:
"Mr. Angevine, Of Hempstead, was born in New York city May 31st I8O7. His early days were spent in the store of his father, Lewis Angevine, who was for years engaged in mercantile pursuits in the city. When he was about 19 years of age, the younger Lewis came to Newtown, where, until I83I, he was engaged in farming. In that year he was married and removed to Hempstead, locating on a farm about two miles west of Hempstead village. For five years he resided there and in the meantime he purchased property in the village of Hempstead. In I836 he began the business of butchering, and to that business he devoted a large portion of his active years until he finally retired, about 1862. Mr. Angevine came into politics in I85I as the Democratic candidate for county treasurer. To this office he was triumphantly elected, and how well he discharged his duties was sufficiently commented upon at the polls in I857, when he was again elected to the same office. This election was the beginning of nine consecutive years of service in that position, extending through 1866, covered that important time when such large sums of money were raised by Queens County in the prosecution of the Civil War. Mr. Angevine's period of service in this office was therefore not only longer than that of any other incumbent, but the duties were more important than ever before or since. In the business ventures of his lifetime Mr. Angevine has been successful beyond the lot of most men, and here, in the town where he has lived for over half a century, he is enjoying in his pleasant home the afternoon of his years, respected by all who know him. As a member of the Protestant Episcopal church he has befriended its clergy and contributed freely to all judicious efforts to benefit the parish to which he belongs."

Died in Hempstead, Queens, New York.
