Angwin Family Tree

There is one Benjamin Angwin of St. Just, born December 24th, in the 1820's that is my direct ancestor.I stumbled across the connection after much frustration when I remembered my grandmother had mentioned that my grandfather's grandfather had been born on Christmas eve.
He emmigrated to Baltimore, Maryland in the mid 1800's. His wife's name was Emmilu and they had seven children. He died just after the turn of the century in Pratt City, Alabama while living with his son, Benjiman Murray Angwin who married Lucy Kate Culpepper. Both Benjamin, born in St. Just, and Benjamin Murray, born in Alleganey County Maryland, worked for the railroad with the latter neing a foreman for B&O.He died in 1957 as is buried in Elmwood Cemetary in Birmingham, Alabama.Two of his brothers, Oscar and Aurther founded the Angwin Funeral Home which is the most prestigeous funeral home in Birmingham.Another brother, Harry, settled in Pennsylvania.
Benjiman Murray had a son, Benjamin Lester, and a daughter Peggy (Holcombe).Bennie Lester, my grandfather, was born in March of 1909 in Pratt City and married three times.He worked for US Steel as a railroad engineer and had three daughters and two sons.His sons were Benjamin, from his first wife, who also has a so named Benjamin, and another son named Benjamin, but with a different middle name, from his third wife.All three daughters were from his first wife Grace Beard (now Ash) who, at 94, is still alive and living in Calvert, Texas.The daughters names, all living in Texas, are Evelyn, my mother, Betty, and Ruth.All five are still living.
Though I am Evelyn's son, I was adopted by Benjamin Lester and his second wife Zelma with whom he had no children.
I have four daughters and a son whose name is Benjamin Lockard Angwin.
I hope this helps...
