The Angle ~ McKeen/McKean Families

THANKS FOR VISITING! This page was created to assist us in tracing our ancestors and finding unknown family. The search for ANGLE's has led to Michigan with the birth of Evert Gaston ANGLE, Oct 16, 1882, son of John M. ANGLE, b. Oct 5, 1835, NJ, and Nancy Jane GASTON, b. Jun 19, 1842, PA, and his spouse the former Nina May ROSE, b. Oct 20, 1891 in Scranton, PA, daughter of Oliver L. ROSE and Frances Margaret (Maggie) NESS; and to Kidderminster, England with the birth of William Henry PHIPPS, b. Nov 9, 1854, d. Jan 2, 1935, m. Eliza TANNER b. Aug 9, 1858, d. Sep 16, 1934, abt 1875.

The search for MCKEEN/MCKEAN families has led to William McKeen of Argyleshire, Scotland, father of James McKeen, ancestor of all the McKeen's that came to New England and Nova Scotia. His sons were John, James, and William. Our McKeen line is from John. John died shortly before sailing for the colonies and his widow came over with his brother James. John had four children John, Robert, Samuel and Mary. Of the three brothers, it is said that, John is the ancestor of the McKeens of Nova Scotia, Robert the McKeans of Cecil, Maryland, and Huntington, Burlington and Troy, Pennsylvania; and Samuel of the McKeens and McKeans of Acworth and Deering, New Hampshire, and Belfast, Maine. James immigrated from Ireland in 1718 and settled in New Hampshire. William followed in 1727 and is the grandfather of the "signer" Thomas McKean. Information we have collected on John's line is too log to include here. You can find out more about John's line and other McKean's by visiting "http://www.jspub.com/genealogy/mckean/john.hml.
