• Notes

  John Angus/Anghurst was born in 1729 in Over Wyresdale, Lancashire, England. John Angus' wife's name is not known. He had two children, neither of whom survived infancy. A John Angus (possibly this John Angus) married on 29 April 1753 in St. Peter, Burnley, Lancashire, England, to Mary Embley. Both were of the parish of Burnley. Burnley is located midway between Preston, Lancashire, and Bradford, Yorkshire, where other descendants of this family ended up. John Angus from Wyresdale is the only John Angus known to be living in the area, but Burnley is far enough away (about 30 km) that it could be a different John. A contemporary Jonathan Angus appears in east Yorkshire having children around this time, including a son, Robert. (See Angus of Raw House.)
