Grenville MacKenzie says born August 8, 1748.

Several sources state he is buried in the Angevine family cemetery where his father Louis was buried and reference Robert Bolton and Grenville MacKenzie.
Histories of both Robert Bolton (1848) and Grenville MacKenzie (1930) describe his father as buried on the Angevine farm but do not actually state John was buried there.

All later histories show his grave or CENOTAPH located at St. Paul's Episcopal Graveyard, Mt. Vernon, NY, along with several generations of Angevines. (Find A Grave Memorial# 53317940.) The tombstones there may be the same ones originally at the Angevine farm at Scarsdale, moved from the family cemetery later, and therefore cynotaphs, since four or five generations of the family are known to have been buried on the farm. These may be the same "simple gray stones" described by Susan Fenimore Cooper at Angevine, or which may have been re-carved later or later replacements.

"The Families of the Colonial Town of Philipsburgh, Westchester County, N.Y.," by Grenville C. Mackenzie, (IV vols, c1930-66, Westport, Conn.), vol. 1 pp.28-30: Louis Angevine (son of Pierre Angevine from Poitou, France), born at New Rochelle 1702, married Esther, daughter of James Secor. “He apparently was living in New Rochelle when his son Peter was born. According to Bolton, he later resided in Scarsdale and lies buried on the farm which his son John inherited on the north east side of Mamaroneck Road.”

John Angevine born August (Feb.) 8, 1748 m. Phebe (Fowler). Phebe was a third cousin of Abigail Fowler, wife of Cornelius Ryder (1744-1821). Cornelius Ryder and James Angevine were witnesses in 1804 to the will of Founding Father Thomas Paine (1737-1809) ("These Are the Times that Try Men's Souls...."). This James Angevine may have been John Angevine's brother James "Jacques" Angevine (1744 - 1825), or their second cousin John Angevine Jr.'s son James (1777-1814?), great-grandson of Zachariah Angevine, immigrant from France.

John Angevine and wife Phebe Fowler and had children: "David, Peter, Mary, John, Louis, Elijah, Jane, a daughter, Solomon, William born 1790."

Their daughter Mary Angevine married John Truslow, (1786-1863), "mem. N.Y. Assembly" and they were the great-grandparents of James Truslow Adams, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian (The Compendium of American Genealogy: The Standard Genealogical Encyclopedia of The First Families of America, vol. 1, p. 46, by Frederick Adams Virkus).
