Parents:
Solomon Angell (1741 - 1806)
Mary Tripp Angell (1748 - 1819)

His middle name is often given as William, but according to a family history, he was named James Williams Angell in honor of the Protestant theologian Roger Williams. James and his wife, Phebe Morton Angell were married about 1802 in New York. They had 10 children, several of whom joined the Mormon Church in the 1830s and went on to play prominent roles in early church history. James and Phebe eventually separated. She moved to Utah with several of her grown children, and died there in 1854. James lived for a time in Lake County, Ohio, but moved to Dodge County, Wisconsin about 1844 with his daughter Phebe Ann Johnson and her family. He died in Leroy, Dodge, Wisconsin in 1851.

James Angell's daughter Mary Ann Angell Young (1808-1882) was Brigham Young's second wife.

His son Solomon Angell (1806-1881) helped to settle southern Utah.

His son Truman Osborn Angell (1810-1887) was chosen as the architect for the LDS Church and built the Salt Lake Tabernacle, the Beehive House, the Lion House and the Salt Lake City Temple.

The diary of their daughter
Caroline Frances Angell Davis Holbrook
(1825 – 1908) is an interesting chronicle of the family's early years as they moved from Ohio to Illinois and eventually Utah.
