Angelo family papers, 1762-1939, bulk 1762-1834

2.3 Linear Feet

The Angelo Family Papers contains letters, photographs, legal documents, and other papers related to the family of Domenico Angelo, who ran a fashionable fencing and riding academy in London from the 1750s to the 1780s. The materials were collected by a descendant, John Cecil Cortlandt Angelo, who had arranged them in a small annotated notebook along with letters he received from two of his Van Cortlandt cousins in America, and others interested in his Angelo ancestors. Among the eighteenth-century letters are those from Domenico Angelo's colleagues Richard Brinsley Sheridan, his wife Elizabeth Anne Sheridan, and his father Thomas Sheridan; William Douglas, the Duke of Queensberry and his wife Catherine Hyde Douglas; and Domenico Angelo's son Henry Angelo, daughter Anne Caroline Angelo St. Leger, and nephew Anthony Angelo Tremamondo. The letters are largely social in content but do discuss family matters as well as government events in Calcutta and Paris.
