According to footnote.com a person named George Keyser Angle applied to the Sons of the American Revolution with a Matthias Abel as his ancestor. I assume it is this Matthias because his grandaughter married an Angle. More about George Keyser Angle:

George Keyser Angle (1864-1932) — also known as George K. Angle; G. K. Angle — of Richmond, Wayne County, Ind.; Easton, Northampton County, Pa.; Silver City, Grant County, N.M.; Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, N.M. Born in New Jersey, 1864. Son of Jacob Angle and Elizabeth 'Eliza' (Kiser) Angle. Democrat. Physician; alternate delegate to Democratic National Convention from New Mexico, 1912; served in the U.S. Army during World War I. Member, American Legion; American Medical Association; Sons of the American Revolution. Died in Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, N.M., May 8, 1932 (age about 67 years). Interment at Sunset Memorial Park, Albuquerque, N.M.

In another letter he wrote that his Matthias Abel was in the battles of Monmouth, Germantown, Boundbrook, Van Veghtens Bridge.

    Matthias Abel, notable in his day as a vendue-
    cryer, was a soldier of the Revolutionary war. He
    was a native of Union township, then Bethlehem, in
    the county of Hunterdon. He died in 1837, aged
    eighty-three. He entered the army as a private in
    1775; was in the battle of Long Island; was with
    Washington in his retreat over the Jerseys in the
    summer and fall of 1776. His enlislment expired the
    day before the battle Of Monmouth; was out with a
    scouting-party all night before the battle; lay in sight
    of the battle during the day with his company, but
    was not in it. After the war he lived in Union town-
    ship until his death.
