  • Through succeeding generations other records appear which make quite a consistent connection of the name and family, to one John Banges who died in Hempstead, County of Essex, England, in 1631 or 1632. The record of his will, a copy of which is attached, furnishes very good evidence that John Banges of Hempstead was the father of Edward Banges, the subject of this sketch. The chief points in this evidence are: 1st, a consistent date; 2d, the identical spelling of the name Banges; 3d, the fact that John had a son Edward and a son Joshua; 4th, that our ancestor Edward named his first son John, a later son Jonathan and another son Joshua. These chief points are supported by other corroborative evidence.

  • Edward Bangs was twice married. First to Lydia, daughter of Robert and Margaret Hicks. This marriage took place probably about 1633. While there were ten children born to the two marriages, Robert and Margaret Hicks mention only one grandchild, John Bangs, in their wills, and Joshua Bangs makes no mention of John Bangs in his will, but leaves bequests to all the other children of the family. These circumstances appear to bear out the opinion of Dean Dudley that Lydia bore but one child, John, and that she probably died soon afterward and that the second marriage took place soon and that nine children were the fruit of this union.
  • In Charles E. Mayo's Mortuary Records (p. 71) it is recorded: - "Captain Jonathan, son of Edward and Rebecca Bangs, b. 1640 m. 1st. Mary M. Mayo." This apparently fixes the date of the second marriage previous to 1640 instead of "about 1649" as is given by some writers. Also the Cole family records refer to Captain Jonathan as the son of Edward and Rebecca. To the writer it seems probable that the second marriage occurred about 1655 and that the first daughter (born 1636) was named Rebecca for her mother.
  • In the absence of records bearing specifically upon the matter it is the general supposition that Edward Bangs married second, Rebecca ___ probably Tracy. Recently the suggestion has been advanced that the second wife was Rebecca the sister of Rev. Peter Hobart. This is supported to some extent by some traditions in the family, but no positive information has been thus far disclosed and the query "Who was Rebecca" remains unanswered.
  • The following dates of birth of his children may not be entirely correct, but are based upon the best data available.
    • John Bangs, b. 1634, m. Rebecca Smalley;
    • Rebecca, b. 1636, m. Jonathan Sparrow;

  • Bangs, Edward - Arriving at Plymouth in 1623 on the Anne, Edward Bangs was probably born ca. 1591, for he said he was age eighty-six in 1677. Dawes-Gates (2:61-68) has a section on him and cites the evidence to show that he was probably identical with the Edward Bangs who was baptized on 28 October 1591 in Panfield, Essex, England, the son of John and Jane (Chavis) Bangs. he married (1) after 1627 Lydia Hicks, daughter of Robert and Margaret Hicks (she may have been the second wife, for Dawes-Gates suggests that he may have had an earlier one, and, (2) Rebecca (?Hobart). He was one of the Purchasers, and he was on the 1632/33 freeman list. He was one of those chosen to lay out the twenty-acre lots in the 1627 division, along with William Bradford, Edward Winslow, John Howland, Francis Cooke, and Joshua Pratt (PCR 12:14). With Myles Standish and others, Edward Bangs was chosen in 1633 to divide the meadow in the bay equally (PCR 1:14). He was also on committees to assess the entire colony for public costs (PCR1:33, 38), and he served on various juries and other public service committees (PCR). He appears to be a man who was responsible and trusted. In a record where he was surety for another, he was called yeoman (PCR 1:103). In 1641 he was granted eighty acres of land at Warren's Wells, and in 1642 he was allowed to exchange some of it for land closer to his house (PCR 2:25, 48). He moved to Nauset with the Prence group, and in 1647 he was a supervisor of the highways there (PCR 2:115).
  • In 1652 he became a deputy for Eastham (PCR 3:9) and in 1657 was licensed to sell wine and strong waters at Eastham "provided it bee for the refreshment of the English and not to bee sold to the Indians" (PCR 3:123). In a deed of 22 June 1651, he was joined as grantor by his wife Rebecca (PCR 12:209). He made his will on 19 Oct. 1677, calling himself aged eighty-six years, and he named his sons: Jonathan, John, Joshua; his daughter Howe, daughter Higgens, daughter Hall, daughter Merrick, and daughter Atwood; the children of his daughter Rebecca, deceased; and his son Jonathan's oldest son Edward (Ply. Colony PR 3:2:106). In an agreement of 6 March 1677/78, Jonathan Bangs agreed that the land bequeathed to his son Edward could be used by Jonathan's brother John until Edward came of age (PR 3:2:105). Dawes-Gates 2: 67 gives his children from his marriage to Lydia Hicks as: John, who married Hannah Smalley, and from his marriage to Rebecca (Possibly Hobart), Rebecca, who married Jonathan Sparrow; Sarah, who married Thomas Howes, Jr.; Jonathan, who married (1) Mary Mayo, (2) Sarah __, and (3) Ruth (Cole) Young; Lydia who married (1) Benjamin Higgins, and (2) Nicholas Snow; Hannah, who married John Done; Joshua, who married Hannah Scudder; Bethia who married Rev. Gershom Hall; Mercy, who married Stephen Merrick; and Apphia who married (1) John Knowles, and (2) Stephen Atwood.

  • Edward Bangs (I), born in England about 1592, came in the "Anne" to Plymouth in 1623, and in the same year had a grant of four acres of land for a garden. He was made Freeman, 1633, assessor of taxes, 1634-36, juror, 1636, grand juror, 1636-37 and afterward, and ful-fulled other offices in the Plymouth colony until 1645, when he was made freeeman at Eastham, Cape Cod. He was deputy to the colony court about 1650 and 1652, town treasurer of Eastham from 1646 to 1665, selectman in 1665 and afterwards, and was licensed as merchant in 1657. He died in Eastham in 1678. He married a daughter of Robert Hicks, whose wife and children came in the "Anne" in 1623. Her name was Lydia, and she bore him one son John. She died soon after marriage, and he married a second wife, Rebecca, and had children: Lieutenant Joshua, Rebecca, Sarah, Captain Jonathan, Lyida, Hannah, Bethia, Apphia and Mercy, twins.
  • (II) Captain Jonathan Bangs, son of Edward and Rebecca Bangs, was born in 1640, at Plymouth, Massachusetts, and died in Brewster, November 9, 1728. He was a man of considerable influence and generally was addressed by his military title, captain. While living in Eastham he was selectman three years, and between 1764 and 1788 served six times as deputy to the Old Colony general court. In 1692 he was representative to the general court at Boston, and for several years was town treasurer of Eastham. It is supposed that Captain Bangs took up his residence in Brewster about 1694, he having inherited lands in that town. He married first, July 16, 1664, Mary Mayo, born at Barnstable in 1649-50, died at Brewster in 1711. She was a daughter of Captain Samuel Mayo, mariner, born about 1625, died about 1663-64, and married Tamosine Lumpkin, born 1626, died 1709. He married second, Sarah __, who died in 1718, and he married third, in 1720, Widow Ruth Young, of Eastham, daughter of Daniel Cole. Captain Bangs had twelve children, all born in Eastham: Captain Edward, September 30, 1665; Rebecca, February 1, 1667: Jonathan, April 30, 1670, died May 11, 1670; Mary, born April 14, 1671; Jonathan, May 4, 1673; Hannah, March 14, 1676; Tamosine, May 5, 1678; Captain Samuel, July 12, 1680; Mercy, January 7, 1682; Elizabeth, May 16, 1685; Sarah, August, 1687; Lydia, October 2, 1689.

Jonathan Bangs probably settled in Brewster about 1694, inheriting his father's lands between Sautucket river and Namskeket. He was a Selectman of Eastham three years and in 1674, '76 and '82, '83, '87 and '88 he was Deputy to the Old Colony Court; and, in 1692 Representative to the General Court at Boston. He was also some time Town Treasurer of Eastham. He was a military man and Capt. of Militia, and he always had the term "Capt." applied to him, while a shipmaster was not so often called captain. For him many other appellations were preferred to that of captain, such as "Mr." of "Dea." or "Esq." In 1680, on an agreement between Mr. John Freeman Sen., of the one party, and Messrs. Thomas Clark, Daniel Cole, Jonathan Banges, Giles Hopkins, Wm. Twining, Mark Snow and John Rogers, of the other party about the boundries of the lands lying at Sautuckett and places adjacent, and the titles to said lands, there are the signatures and seals of all these parties; and Jonathan Bangs used his seal of arms, as did also the other signers all used for their seals a sort of phoenix. Capt. Jonathan Bangs' seal was a Moor's head couped at the shoulders, having on it a cap of maintenance, etc., as described in the sketch of Edward Bangs, the pilgrim. This was the Banges crest as blazoned by Burke in his heraldry of the Commoners of England.

THE BANGS FAMILY HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE BANGS FAMILY. By Dean Dudley 1896 page Dean Dudley Bangs Family in America Page 22-23-24-25-26 CAPTAIN JONATHAN BANGS By George Dennis Bangs, Huntington, N. Y. (Read before the Convention of The Edward Bangs Descendants, Brewster, Mass., July 28, 1917. First installment published Aug. 4.) There seems to be some uncertainty as to just when Captain Jonathan became a resident of Harwich. Dean Dudley states the date as 1694, the year Harwich was incorporated. The Rev. Enoch Pratt of Brewster in his history of Eastham, which bears every evidence of careful research, states the date as about 1674. It seems probable that the latter date is more nearly correct, for Dean Dudley contradicts himself by stating that Captain Jonathan's son, Captain Jonathan, Jr., was born in Harwich May 4, 1673, and his son, Captain Samuel, as born there in 1680. The completeness with which he states the date of Captain Jonathan, Jr.'s birth, indicates the correctness of the statement, but doubtless the naming by Dean Dudley of Harwich as the birthplace was in deference to locality, as Harwich in 1673 and until 1694 was still a part of Eastham. A verification that it was before 1694 is a statement made by Dean Dudley that a daughter, Mary, was born to Captain Jonathan's son, Edward, in Harwich, in 1692. It may be, therefore, that Captain Jonathan took up his home in that part of Eastham which is now Brewster, soon after, if not at the time of his marriage, and that all of his children were born in this town. Eastham, described in 1644, when the forty-nine settlers came from Plymouth, as only suitable for about twenty-five families of the Plymouth Colony, according to Pratt, had increased in 1676 to 520 inhabitants. Pratt also says: "Eastham was the only township below Yarmouth on Cape Cod until 1694, when the tract of land granted to the purchasers or old comers of Plymouth Colony being inhabited by a competent number of families, many of whom removed from this town, petitioned the Court for an act of incorporation by the name of Harwich,, which was granted."It is not unreasonable that Captain Jonathan was among the many from Eastham who early took up their homes in that section of the town, which by its incorporation in 1694 became Harwich, and not unlikely that he settled on the tract of land purchased by his father, Edward, at Namskekett, called Situate or Satuckquett, lying between Namskekett and Satucket brook, and afterward willed to Jonathan by his father, together with other nearby land at Rock Harbor. To Jonathan he also gave land at Pocomette, but the principal bequests to Jonathan were about Satucket, which was a part of Eastham until 1694, when it was incorporated into Harwich and into Brewster in 1805.As Jonathan Bangs's last public service to Eastham was in 1692, he might have lived in Satucket, as the facts seem to indicate, and still have performed that service; and so we may conclude that Edward Banges, the Pilgrim, and his wife, Rebecca, passed their declining years in what is now Brewster, with their favorite and most trusted son, Jonathan, for such he evidently was, as Jonathan was designated by Edward in his will as his executor. That Edward Banges, the father, was living with Jonathan when he made that will in 1677 cannot be doubted, for Edward bequeathed to him, "All those things which I have at this house," while to his son, Captain Joshua, he gave, stated in his own words, "The house that I lived in and all the housing belonging to it."Therefore Edward, living with his son Jonathan's family in Satucket when he made his will in 1677, no doubt died there in 1678, and if not buried in the old cemetery at Eastham may lie somewhere within the bounds of Brewster. Captain Jonathan Bangs and his first wife, Mary Mayo, brought into the world twelve children. Mary Mayo Bangs died January 26th, 1711, in the sixty-sixth year of her age. Subsequently Captain Jonathan married Sarah, maiden name and date not stated, who died June, 1719, aged seventy-seven years. One year later, in 1720, he married Mrs. Ruth Young, nee Cole, of Eastham, who survived him, when he died November 9th, 1728, aged 88 years. What a privilege it is to us, the descendants of Edward Banges, the Pilgrim, to meet in this church as we do today, to honor Captain Jonathan, his son, our ancestor, who with his three successive wives, his children and his grandchildren, worshipped here two hundred years ago, and of which his eldest son, Captain Edward, in 1700, was one of the founders, and whose grandson, David, son of Captain Samuel, married Eunice Stone, the daughter of its first pastor, the Rev. Nathaniel Stone, who officiated here for fifty-five years. As we gather about the resting place of Captain Jonathan in the adjoining burying ground, surrounded as he is by many of his loved ones, of family and friend, we can look back and know him as soldier and patriot, public servant and legislator, father and friend, a respected, trusted God-fearing man of his time. Captain Jonathan Bangs, son of Edward Banges, the Pilgrim, both of them our ancestors. The fragile slate that has preserved his memory so safely for nearly two hundred years, we have embedded in the more enduring granite that shall retain its legend for many centuries. The incidents of his life, gathered from the perishable annals of tradition and gleaned from the scattered fragments of early and poorly guarded records, we have collected here today for the first time, and we commit them to the custody of the undying pages of written history. There they shall stand as a memorial, a pen portrait of the living, vital, throbbing life that wrought itself into the foundation of our nation. END 4. Captain Jonathan (2) Bangs (Edward1Bangs) was born at Plymouth, Mass., 1640, married first July 16, 1664, Mary Mayo, daughter of Captain Samuel Mayo and Thomasine (Lumpkin) his wife.

And he married 3rd Mrs. Ruth Young of Eastham, in 1720 daughter of Daniel Cole of Eastham. He died at Brewster, November 9, 1728.

He was also sometimes town Treasurer of Eastham. He was a military man and Captain of militia, any always had the term "Captain" applied to him, while a ship master was not so often called Captain. For him any other applellations were preferred to that of a Captain, such as Mr. or Dea. or Esquire. In 1680, on agreement between Mr. John Freeman Sr., of the one party, and messrs. Thomas Clark, Daniel Cole, Jonathan Bangs, Giles Hopkins, William Twining, Mark Snow and John Rogers, of the party, about the boundaries of their lands lying at Sautuckett* and places adjacent, and the titles to said lands, there are the signatures and seals of all these parties; and Jonathan Bangs used his seal of arms, as did also Major John Freeman. Thomas Clark used T.C. for his seal, and the other signers all used their seals a sort of Phoenix. Captain John Bangs's seal was a Moore's head couped at the shoulders, having on it a cap of maintenance, ect. as described in the sketch of Edward Bangs, the Pilgrim.

Plymouth July: 7th 1680: witness are hands and seals To descendants of Major John Freeman have often intermarried with the Bangses. My great grandmother Susan (Dilingham) Bangs married for her second husband Mr. Benjamin Freeman. I have many of their original documents which have come down from the Pilgrims and the sons of the pilgrims. Here is one from Major John and his father-in-law Governor Thomas Prence: For 75 pounds currency money of New England, paid by John Freeman, Sr., of Eastham in the County of Plymouth, Gent., Thomas Prence, Esquire, and Governor of the colony of New Plymouth, conveys 30 acres at Sagutuckett, butting upon a creek called Masquapoyett. The line extended one direction to a rock marked P. T. And west really over and a piece of Marsh to a great stone marked T. P. Another in parcel of land conveyed was eight acres of swamp and upland adjoining the south side of the above mentioned creek. Another piece was Marsh containing 24 acres on the Easterly side of Sautuckett River one part adjoining to said creek, and all the Marsh on the Easterly side of the Sautuckett River. Also 40 acres of upland bounded westerly by the land of Edward Bangs, and Eastward, by the land of Joseph Rogers. Also 40 acres of up land bounded on the east side by land of William Twining and on the Westside by land of Thomas Clark also 15 acres of upland bounded on the Indian bounds by the sea by a pond called Aquasseft, also five acres of upland lying on the south west side of Namskeckett, bounded westwardly by the land of said Thomas Prence, Easterly by the land of Joseph Rogers, and in all 162 acres being all lands, which are already laid out to the said Thomas Prence and Mr. William Bradford, deceased, as an purchase land, and granted to them by the court of Plymouth, also all those lands whatsoever, which shall be laid out for the said Thomas Prence and William Bradford, aforesaid, Bradford's heirs or assigns, on the easterly side of Sautuckett, together with all of the fishing privileges of whale--fish, cast on Shore, and all the other rights and appertenances to these lands belonging. The witness to the deed are marked snow, and Jeremiah Howes. Major John Freeman was governors assistant of Plymouth colony several years.

He was a Selectman of Eastham three years and in 1674, 76, and 82, 83, 87, and 88 he was Deputy to the Old Colony Courd; and, in 1692, Representative to the General Court at Boston. He was also some time Town Treasurer of Eastham. He was a military man and capt. of Militia and he always had the term 'Capt.' applied to him, while a shipmaster was not so often called captain. For him many other appellations were preferred to that of captain, such as 'Mr.' or 'Dea.' or 'Esq.' In 1680, on an agreement between Mr. John Freeman Sen., of the one party, and Messrs. Thomas Clark, Daniel Cole, Jonathan Banges, Giles Hopkins, Wm. Twining, Mark Snow and John Rogers, of the other party about the boundaries of their lands lying at Sautucket (The tract of land known as Satucket was established as Harwich in 1694. Previous to that time, Satucket river was the boundary between Yarmouth and Eastham. On one side was the Constablewich of Yarmouth and on the other side the Constablewick of Eastham. In 1803, part of Harwich was established as Brewster. Satucket was spelled variously. Sometimes Saquatucket and Seatuckett. Satucket River was often called Stoney River, or Stoney Brook.) and places adjacent, and the titles to said lands, there are the signatures and seals of all these parties: and Jonathan Bangs used his seal of arms, as did also Maj. John Freeman. Thomas Clark used T. C. for his seal, and the other signers all used for their seals a sort of phoenix. Capt. Jonathan Bangs' seal was a Moor's head couped at the shoulders, having on it a cap of maintenance, etc.,as described in the sketch of Edward Bangs, the pilgrim.

Jan. 5. 1714/5....'[14] Event: Type: Biography Note: '....Gathering the limited fragments of Captain Jonathan Bangs' history, we find him the same type of man as was his father, respected and trusted by his fellowmen, a freeman doing public service for the community in which he from his early years was evidently prominently active. 'Captain Jonathan's father was Edward Banges, our ancestor, who came to America in the 'Anne' in 1623, the third vessel to arrive at Plymouth from England. 'As to his mother's maiden name, beyond the recorded fact that her name was Rebecca, there has been until now some uncertainty, and the query has been with our Historian, 'Who was Rebecca?' 'Dean Dudley in his 'History and Genealogy of the Bangs Family' establishes the fact that Lydia Hicks was the first wife of Edward Banges, doubtless wedded later than 1627, as in that year Lydia Hicks is named as one to whom was apportioned part of the property brought over in the 'Anne.' 'He also establishes that John Bangs was born to Edward and Lydia Banges, and then argues that the others were children of Rebecca, including the daughter Lydia as named after his first wife. It is possible that the identity of Rebecca can be established to a reasonable certainty; that the mystery of Rebecca may be solved by an entry claimed to be in some journal of the Rev. Peter Hobart stating that he went to Eastham to attend his sister Bangs' funeral, and by other circumstances, possibly not all authentic, but enough to establish the probability. 'The Rev. Peter Hobart had a sister Rebecca born in 1598, who came to Charlestown, Mass., in 1633 from Norwich, County Norfolk, England, with their father, Edmund Hobart, and in 1635 they moved to Hingham, Mass. Rebecca's sister's name was Sarah, and she had a brother Joshua. 'Edward and Rebecca Banges' first children were named Joshua and Sarah, names not unlikely selected from Rebecca's family. 'Mrs. Lydia M.B. Fisher, a Bangs descendant, and one of our members, remembers very distinctly that, when she was a child at the christening of Walter Matthew Bangs, also one of our members, now of Bridgeport, Conn., her grandmother Bangs told her that Edward Banges' wife was Rebecca Hubbard. 'In Orleans, are records of Josiah Hubart, in 1661 and 1665, carrying away horses on order from Edward Banges, and in 1668 it is recorded that a horse was sold to Josiah Hubbaard of Hingham. Hubart, Hubbard and Hobart are claimed to be synonymous. It is quite consistent that Josiah Hobart traveled from HIngham to Eastham on 3 occasions to visit his siter, Rebecca Banges, and incidentally indulged in horsetrading. 'In the Bangs genealogy we find that John Doane, a grandson of Edward and Rebecca, married Hannah Hobart, daughter of Joshua Hobart of HIngham, undoubtedly Rebecca Hobart's brother. 'This statement is made, although not verified by the Bangs genealogy, that Captain Jonathan's grandson named a son Hobart, who died in infancy. 'These circumstances all tend to verify the probability that the second wife of Edward Banges, the Pilgrim, was Rebecca Hobart. Their marriage, though, must have been soon after 1635, for Captain Jonathan was born in 1640, and he was preceded by Captain Joshua in 1637, and possibly by one of this 3 sisters, Rebecca, Sarah or Lydia; the date, though, and order of their births is uncertain. 'It may be, and it is not at all unlikely, that Edward Banges and Rebecca Hobart were friends and, possibly, sweethearts in England, for according to our research committee, there is a record in Norwich, county of Norfolk, from which the Hobarts came, of Augustin Bangs being made a freeman in 1385. 'True, Edward is believed to have been born in County Essex, but the Bangses evidently lived in Norfolk for many generations and must have had family connections there. What could have been more natural than that Edward and Rebecca should have renewed an attachment temporarily suspended by separation and distance? '....Captain Jonathan Bangs, whose memory we are revering by our gathering here in Brewster, where he lived and died and lies buried, forever resting, with 2 of his 3 wives on either side, and whose graves we are marking against the erosions of time, was born in Plymouth in 1640, and was 4 years of age when, in 1644, his father's family moved to Nauset. 'It is an interesting fact taht on the gravestones for Jonathan's 2 wives buried in 1711 and 1719 the name is spelled Banges, while in 1728 on his stone it is spelled Bangs. 'Jonathan must have been early a leader in military affairs. In 1658, at the age of 18, he became ensign of a military company, his father supplying him with a horse and equipment. In 1670, he is recorded as a sergeant; in 1675, a lieutenant; again in 1690, an ensign; and by the title of captain he is designated on the stone marking his grave in the old burying ground at Brewster. 'In the civic affairs of Eastham in 1658 he was made a rate-maker for the term of 1 year, beginning with 1659; in 1670 he was appointed to act in the matter of 'Pine Knots'; in 1674 he was elected a selectman for 3 years, as well as a deputy to the Old Colony Court at Plymouth, serving as such also in 1676, 1682, 1683, 1687 abd 1688; in 1676 he was empowered to act for the town in eference to a misunderstanding between Eastham and other towns on the Cape growing out of the war. 'In 1692, he must have been one of the foremost citizens of Eastham, for under a new charter and authority from the new governor of the United Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies, Sir William Phipps, Ensign Bangs was chosen 1 of the 2 representatives to serve the town of Eastham in the General Court held at Boston. To have been selected one of the first representatives of the town under that new charter, must have been an honor in those days. 'The last public service by Captain Jonathan, of which record has so far been found, was in 1706, when he was one of 4 appointed from Harwich to meet a like number selected from Eastham to settle the bounds between the 2 towns, 'the matter being in controversy.' The agreement was signed and sealed on 'the 16th day of October in the 4th year of the reign of our Gracious Lady, Queen Anne.' 'Through Jonathan comes one fact to link as of common ancestry, somewhere in the so far impenetrable past, the Bankses of England and our ancestor, Edward Banges, for Jonathan used as a seal a part of the crest of the Banks family. 'At Plymouth, July 7th, 1680, 8 men, including Jonathan Bangs, signed a document agreeing that all the tract of land known as Satucket, bought by them, would be equally divided, etc. That document has on it, so Dean Dudley proves, the seal mentioned. 'The Banks crest used by Sir JOhn Banks of London in the time of the Stuarts, according to Burke, was a Moor's head, full faced, couped at the shoulders, on the head a cap of maintenance, turned up adorned with a crescent, issuant therefrom a fleur-de-lis. 'Dean Dudley says that the seal used by Jonathan 'is the same as this, but very poorly engraved and shows no helmet' 'The seal was evidently brought from England, for we have no reason to believe that there were any makers of seals in Plymouth at that date. 'Eviently Edward the Piltrim and Captain Jonathan were not the sort to make a claim to which they were not entitled. The fact that JOnathan possesed the crest claimed by the Bankses must satisfy the Bangeses that he had a right to it; also that we, his descendants, have the same right if we may wish to use it, and that somewhere in the centuries the now 2 famiies were but one. 'Captain Jonathan, for the period in which he lived, must have had considerable wealth, especially in land, for besides a large inheritance from his father, mainly in that part of Eastham which in 1694 was incorporated into Harwich and in 1805 became part of Brewster, he was one of the 'original proprietors' or land owners of Truro, and also possessed property in what now remains of Eastham and in Orleans. 'His father's (Edward Banges) home is believed to have been in that part of Eastham now known as Orleans on the further side of the Town Cove on the hill, and this is doubtless where Jonathan lived until he married Mary Mayo, the daughter of Captain Samuel, son of Rev. John Mayo, who came to Eastham as the first minister of that community. 'There seems to be some uncertainty as to just when Captain Jonathan became a resident of Harwich. Dean Dudley states the date as 1694, the year Harwich was incorporated. The Rev. Enoch Pratt of Brewster in his history of Eastham, which bears every evidence of careful research, states the date as about 1674. It seems probable that the latter date is more nearly correct, for Dean Dudley contradicts himself by stating that Captain Jonathan's son, Captain Jonathan, Jr., was born in Harwich May 4, 1673, and his son, Captain Samuel, as born there in 1680. The completeness with which he states the date of Captain Jonathan, Jr.'s birth, indicates the correctness of the statement, but doubtless the naming by Dean Dudley of Harwich as the birthplace was in deference to locality, as Harwich in 1673 and until 1694 was stil a part of Eastham. 'A verification that it was before 1694 is in a statement made by Dean Dudley that a daughter, Mary, was born to Captain Jonathan's son, Edward, in Harwich in 1692. 'It may be, therefore, that Captain Jonathan took up his home in that part of Eastham which is now Brewster, soon after, if not at the time of his marriage, and that all of his children were born in this town. 'Eastham, described in 1644, when the 49 settlers came from Plymouth, as only suitable for about 25 families of the Plymouth Colony, according to Pratt, had increased in 1676 to 520 inhabitants.... 'It is not unreasonable that Captain Jonathan was among the many from Eastham who early took up their homes in that section of the town, which by its incorporation in 1694 became Harwich, and not unlikely that he settled on the tract of land purchased by his father, Edward, at Namskekett, called Situate or Satuckquett, lying between Namskekett and Satucket brook, and afterward willed to Jonathan by his father, together with other nearby land at Rock Harbor. To Jonathan he also gave land at Pocomette, but the principal bequests to Jonathan were about Satucket, which was a part of Eastham until 1694, when it was incorporated into Harwich and into Brewster in 1805. 'As Jonathan Bang's last public service to Eastham was in 1692, he might have lived in Satucket, as the facts seem to indicate, and still have performed that service; and so we may conclude that Edward Banges, the Pilgrim, and his wife, Rebecca, passed their declining years in what is now Brewster, with their favorite and most trusted son, Jonathan, for such he evidently was, as Jonathan was designated by Edward in his will as his executor. That Edward Banges, the father, was living with Jonathan when he made that will in 1677 cannot be doubted, for Edward bequeathed to him, 'All those things which I have at this house,' while to his son, Captain Joshua, he gave, stated in his own words, 'The house that I lived in and all the housing belonging to it.' 'Therefore Edward, living with his son JOnathan's family in Satucket when he made his will in 1677, no doubt died there in 1678, and if not buried in the old cemetery at Eastham may lie somewhere within the bounds of Brewster. 'Captain Jonathan Bangs and his first wife, Mary Mayo, brought into the world 12 children. Mary Mayo Bangs died January 26th, 1711, in the sixty-sixth yeear of her age. Subsequently Captain Jonathan married Sarah, maiden name and date not stated, who died June, 1719, aged 77 years. One year later, in 1720, he married Mrs. Ruth Young, ne Cole, of Eastham, who survived him, when he died November 9th, 1728, aged 88 years....'[15] Note: In a deed of 22 June 1651, Edward Bangs is joined by his wife Rebecca in selling land in Plymouth. Thus, she was certainly mother of the twins born later in 1651, ald almost certainly mother of all other children except John Bangs. Citing a supposed entry in the Hobart diary, Mary Walton Ferris suggested that Rebecca was daughter of Edmund Hobart of Hingham, but this entry may not have existed, and the identity of Rebeca (___) Bangs remains unknown.[16] Sources
