  • 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. ____________________

  • 42. ELIZABETH4 THACHER (Hon. Col. John,3, Antony,2 Rev. Peter1), born at Yarmouth, Mass., June 19th, 1677; died at Falmouth, Mass. (presumably) May 18th, 1710, and was presumably buried there, the existence of her gravestone has never been discovered by me; married at Falmouth, Mass. (is is recorded there) by John Thacher, Justice of the Peace (her father) on October 18th, 1699, to Deacon Moses Hatch (as his second wife). Elizabeth(4) (Thacher) Hatch was admitted to church at Barnstable, August 2nd, 1702, and was dismissed therefrom to church at Falmouth, October 10th, 1708. Deacon Moses Haatch was born at Falmouth, march 4th, 1662-3; he is said to have been the first white child born there; he was admitted to First Church at Barnstable, June 19th, 1698; and was dismissed to church at Falmouth, October 10, 1708, in which latter church he was a first deacon; he was a farmer and a wealthy man of good business ability and a good citizen; he died at Falmouth, May 20th, 1747, in the 85th year of his age, and was buried there in the old burying ground. He was a son of Jonathan and Sarah (Rowley) Hatch, (Savage says Hannah

  • Deacon Moses Hatch gave to Falmouth the land on which the first church was built and which is now a public square ornamented with trees. He married, first, May 9th, 1686, Hepsiba Eddy, of Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard (said to be the younger sister of Elizabeth Eddy, second wife of his brother, Benjamin Hatch); and by her he had the following children (not in Thacher line):
    • i. Abiah, born February 1st, 1686-7; died February 13th, 1686-7; buried February 14th, 1696-7.
    • ii. M * * * (a son), born February 1st, 1686-7; died February 1st, 1686-7; buried February 2nd, 1686-6.
    • iii. Moses, born October 6th, 1688; died October 23rd 1688.
    • iv. Hepsiba, born February 15, 1690; died — ; married Benjamin Nye, of Falmouth.
  • A Moses Hatch married, about 1710-11, to Hannah, widow of Joshua Bangs, and a daughter of John Scudder, of Barnstable. This Hannah Scudder was baptized October 5th, 1651, and hence was 11 years older than Deacon Moses Hatch. Joshua Bangs died January 14th, 1709-10. Although she was so much older than Deacon Moses Hatch, yet the death of Elizabeth (Thacher) Hatch, his second wife, and the death of Joshua Bangs, Hannah Scudder's first husband, renders it possible that Deacon Moses Hatch had for a third wife Hannah (Scudder) Bangs. The Falmouth Records state "Hannah, wife of Captain Moses Hatch, died May 13th, 1739." If this was the above Hannah (Scudder) Bangs-Hatch, then Deacon Moses Hatch was styled Captain, as was also his son Moses. It is thought by Amos Otis, in his Barnstable Families, that the death record should read, "Mary, wife of Captain Moses Hatch, died May 13th, 1739;" the record, in his opinion, referring to Mary Lord, first wife of Captain Moses, son of Deacon Moses.
