Directions:  Providence Road, Oak Grove, Tn., which is an unincorporated 
"town" west of Westmoreland and east of Portland on Rte. 52East.

The Anglea, Angle and Angel families, in this area, I have read are all of the same family roots.
There is a section of Bethpage (next to Oak Grove) that has a sign that says Angeltown.
I could never figure out why it was called that but then I read about the men who settled 
this area, the Angleas (or other spellings).
