Angeline Fannie (Redway) (Briggs) Smalley was born in Adams, Jefferson Co., N.Y., 3 September 1825 and baptized there 4 August 1826, daughter of David J. and Hannah (Doane) Redway of Adams and adjacent Lorraine; she died in Buffalo, at the home of her daughter Emma (Smalley) Walker, 7 or 8 March 1894. Among several sources supporting that Angeline was born a Redway is her death certificate, issued by the city of Buffalo, in which her father is given as David J. Redway and her mother as Hannah Redway; her age is listed as 56, which represents the fiction that she and her second husband were close to the same age (see below). The probate file of David J. Redway includes a list of annuities ($50 per year) paid from his estate to Angeline F. Smalley between 1877 and 1893 (Jefferson Co. Estate Papers, box R–17, case 208). About two months after David Redway’s death, his wife, Hannah (Doane) Redway, died at the Malone, Franklin Co., N.Y., home of her son-in-law and daughter Rev. Albert and Angeline (Redway) Smalley (Malone Palladium, 28 Sept. 1876; Jefferson County Journal, 27 Sept. 1876).
Angeline married first in Lorraine __ February 1855, James W. Briggs of Marcellus, Onondaga Co., N.Y., born there in May or June 1830 [calc.] and died 1 or 3 March 1860, aged 29 yrs., 9 mos., son of Noah and Deborah (Foster) Briggs. His Find A Grave memorial fails to identify his wife and attributes to him a daughter, Sarah, who was not his. Angeline married second in Skaneateles, Onondaga Co., 1866, Albert Lucius Smalley, born in Malone, N.Y., 23 July 1843 and died in Buffalo 9 June 1907, aged 63 yrs., 10 mos., 16 da., son of Lucius and Lucinda (Hill) Smalley. When they met, Albert was studying for the ministry; he was ordained a Methodist pastor at Auburn, Cayuga Co., N.Y., in 1869.
Angeline apparently had an affinity for younger men. As her and her respective husbands’ birth data indicate, she was almost 5 years older than the first and all but 18 years older than the second. (I have a daguerreotype of her as a young woman and photographs of her at various subsequent ages, including one taken about the time of her second marriage—and one of Albert Smalley almost certainly taken then also.)
After Angeline’s death, Rev. Smalley married in Des Moines, Iowa, 21 March 1895, Mrs. Anna E. (Percival) Hill.
