About Barnabas Bangs, Jr.
The most important convert to Shakerism, made in Gorham, was Barnabas Bangs, who owned a large tract of land. This land, when Mr. Bangs joined the Society, became the common property of the Family. The story is, that Mr. Bangs was in the habit of taking a daily allowance of grog. To this expense the Society objected. Mr. Hangs then threatened to withdraw from the Shakers; but was unable to get back" his land. He, however, finally obtained his allowance, and concluded to remain in the Family.
