Note: Angell Husted about 1625 - 1706
Angell Husted was born ca.1625, probably in Dorset, England, the son of Robert Husted and Elizabeth Miller.
Angell was about ten years old when he came with his parents to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, leaving England on March 20, 1635.
Angell was a witness to the July 18, 1640 indian land deed with his father Robert and others.
Sometime in 1642, Angell moved from Stamford, Connecticut and built a one room home, near the Robert Feakes home in Greenwich, Connecticut.
There is a question of the Angell Husted and Rebecca Sherwood marriage. Will of Angell does name wife as Rebecca-no last name given. Some researchers claim that Rebecca Sherwood was the second wife of Angell . I leave Rebecca listed as a reference point until definite proof is found.
Around September 1, 1643, Angell went to Wethersfield, Hartford County, Connecticut to marry Rebecca Sherwood the daughter of Thomas Sherwood and Alice Tiler. Rebecca Sherwood was baptised 10/13/1622. this has been confirmed from the St. Nicholas Parish Register in Kettlebaston, Suffolk, England (Near Ipswich). The Thomas Sherwood family came from England on the ship Frances in April of 1634, and by 1646, a Thomas Sherwood family was living in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Angell Husted was one of seven proprieters of the village of Greenwich, who held a town meeting on February 5, 1664, to petition the General Assembly in Hartford, Connecticut to seperate Greenwich from Stamford. He was one of the original patentees, named in the patent granted in 1665, making him one of the founding fathers of the new state town of Greenwich, Connecticut.
Angell Husted died on [or after] April 5, 1706, his will is dated April 5, 1706.
