Samuel Angier

Samuel Angier (1639–1713) was an English nonconformist minister, one of the first after 1660 to receive presbyterian ordination.

The nephew of John Angier, he was born at Dedham 28 August 1639, and was a pupil of Richard Busby.

John Ogden was nominated; but great difficulty was experienced in inducing Samuel Angier to give up possession of the house.

He had to suffer for his nonconformity, and in 1680 was excommunicated; but under the Act of Toleration in 1689 he became minister of a dissenting meeting at Dukinfield, where a chapel was built for him in 1708.

One entry relates to the death, 20 February 1698, of another Samuel Angier, who is believed to have been a minister of the 'ancient chapel' of Toxteth Park, Liverpool.
