I am looking for connections to the Angles of Missouri. These folks were very adventurous having moved to Indian Territory in the late 1700's, before Daniel Boone and Lewis and Clark, and lived through Spanish, French and US Territorial regimes. The family was very large, with many sons. I would not doubt that someone in this family moved to Texas or lived in Georgia.

I have a private tree in Ancestry.com and also have an Angle surname YDNA project to help establish families. Through DNA two Angle researchers I have been bumping into since the mid 2000's recently determined we were related. It has helped and focused our research immensely.

Given the times, it may be that it was not the Angle family that came to Missouri but a frontierman and a large Angle family grew from that. In the early 1800's, next generation of males moved away from SE / St. Louis / St. Charles Missouri area to various points north (Pike Co and surrounding counties), west (Washington Co.) and east (Indiana). My ggrandfather moved from Pike Co. about 1898 to serve in the Army in San Francisco and stayed in the area and changed the family name to Angel. The rest of the family followed (many males) in the very early 1900's to the Central Valley, of California and Colorado, but this is only one of the Angle families from Missouri. There are others.

We have not yet determined where the Missouri Angle's orginated but it seems, based on some documentation, that it may b Germany to Maryland and / or Pennsylvania, possibly serving in Virginia during the Revolutionary War and making their way to Missouri after the war, possibly through Kentucky.

We are very interested in connecting our Angles to Angles in the states mentioned above.

I am interested in knowing where your Texas Angles orginate and the family names.
