An open letter to David Angevine McKinstry
and Dr. Lydia McKinstry, from your mother,
Katherine Angevine McKinstry.

  From Angers, France, to LaRochelle, France, to Holland, your     Huguenot ancestor, Zachariah Angevine, arrived in America in 1689.  From New Rochelle, New York -- to Indiana -- Ohio --
Illinois -- Kansas -- Nebraska -- New Mexico -- and now to Idaho and Nevada -- we have opened new frontiers and helped build  these great United States of America. God Bless America, the  Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

1.   Zachariah Angevine and his 2nd wife Marie Naudin
2.  John Angevine, Sr. and his wife Esther (Hester) Palmer
3.  John Angevine, Jr. and his wife Sarah Coutant

Note: Sarah Coutant was the oldest daughter and child of Henry and Elizabeth (Chadeayne) Countant.   You can find yourselves on The Chadeayne Family website in this Huguenot Ring.

6.  Charles Henry Angevine and Julia Leland 
7.  Leland Charles Angevine and Genevieve Simpson Walker
8.  David Walker Angevine and Mary Helen (Freeman) Wolsieffer  
9.  Katherine Angevine and William Weaver McKinstry
10.  David Angevine McKinstry

    However, in doing research on your ancestors, an interesting question arises. 

Did one Huguenot descendent meet and marry another Huguenot descendent when Leland Charles Angevine married Genevieve Simpson Walker ???    

Your great grandmother, Genevieve Simpson Walker Angevine
is the daughter of  Oliver David Walker, MD, and Mary Louise Simpson

the granddaughter of George Morton Walker and Ziporah Maxwell

the great-granddaughter of David Oliver Walker and Maria Morton

the great 2-granddaughter of John Hoge Walker I and Isabella McCormick

the great 3-granddaughter of William Walker and Elizabeth Hoge

the great 4-granddaughter of John Hoge and Gwentholyn Bowen-Davis

the great 5-granddaughter of William Hoge and Barbara Hume

To quote Pioneers of Old Frederick County, Virginia, Cecil O'Dell, 1995,
Wallsworth Publishing Company of Marceline, MO, pages 281-286.

"William Hoge emigrated from Scotland before
1710 to Monmouth County, New Jersey, the year he bought 1000 acres
for five schillings in Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania, on Elk Creek.
Was a tailor by occupation.  In 1729 on Opeguon Creek, a
branch of the Potomac River, Frederick County,
Virginia, where in 1725 had a patent of 401 acres along what is now
US Highway 11, Kernstown, south of Winchester, Virginia.  His will is
dated 17 April 1729 and proved 15 November 1749. 
He and his wife Barbara Hume Hoge
are buried in the Opequon Cemetery."

Others say William Hoge came to America in 1682 on the "Caledonia",
landed in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.  His wife Barbara Hume was the daughter
of Sir James Hume and his wife who perished aboard the ship enroute to America.

William Hoge's father was George Hoge, a Huguenot from
Le Hoge, Normandy, France, in about 1600,
and that the name Hoge is derived
from the town of La Hogue near Cherbourg,
the scene of a battle many years ago.

Genevieve Simpson Walker Angevine is also

the great 6-granddaughter of James (Sir James) Hoge and Marjorie Lambert, Musselburgh, Berkwickshire, Scotland.  (1609-1682)

the great 7-granddaughter of George Hoge, Musselburgh, Scotland

the great 8-granddaughter of John (Sir John) Hoge, Musselburgh, Scotland.

Note:  The name Hoge (Hogue) appears to be originated
in the town of La Hogue, near Cherboug in
Normandy, France, about 1600.

If anyone visiting this website has information
relating to this query, we would be greatly appreciative.
