I descend from the Huguenot Angevines who came from France to New York in the 1680s and settled in New Rochelle. I suppose this branch accounts for most of the Angevines in America and Canada, and the very thorough books by Clyde Angevine and J. Stuart Angevine and Erma Angevine probably account for the fact that there seem to be very few people researching the Angevines.
However, I am supposed to descend from the Yarbrough (Yarborough, Yarburgh) family of Yorkshire, England, and there is an ancient pedigree chart showing this family's descent (or alleged descent) from the Angevyne of York. A different chart shows the name spelled Angeuine, but I believe Angevyne is correct. They apparently were members of the English gentry from about the 1400s, since most of the others marrying into the Yarburgh family in this period were noble families and I am told that there is an ANGEVYNE family coat of arms recorded in the English heraldry books, though it differs from the one shown in J.B. Rietstap's heraldic book for "Angevin of Poitou," which is similar to the coat of arms hanging in the Episcopal Church of Saint Esprit in New York City where the imigrant Angevines were among the early members.
Does anyone know more about the Angevynes of Yorkshire, England, and how they may distantly connect to the Angevines of France? Has anyone perhaps found descendency or pedigree charts of the Yorkshire family among the records of the Herald's College or in any old peerage books?
There are vague references in some of the family books to Henri Angevine, uncle of the immigrants Zacharie and Pierre Angevine of N.Y., who was said to have left the party of refugees in Holland and to have gone to England where he settled in Yorkshire.
Was an uncle or great uncle of the Huguenots of the 1680s really the progenitor of the Angevynes of Yorkshire, or did that family branch off from a different immigrant perhaps 200 years or more earlier?
