Biography

Captain Jonathan Bangs was born about 1640, the son of Edward Bangs and his second wife, Rebecca of Eastham, Massachusetts. [1] [2] [3] [4]

On 16 July 1664, he married Mary Mayo, daughter of Captain Samuel Mayo and Thomasine Lumpkin. [5][1] [6] [2] [3] [7] [4] [8][9]

It is not certain if their children were born in Eastham or Brewster, Brewster was a part of Eastham at this time. Most sources presume he moved to Brewster later in life, so Eastham is the most frequent choice.

On 5 March 1677/78, Jonathan and his brother John signed an agreement allowing John to use the land that Jonathan's son Edward was given to him by their father, Edward Bangs until young Edward reached of age.[10]

Sometime between the death of Jonathan Bangs' first wife, Mary (Mayo) Bangs on 26 Jan 1711, and Sarah's death in June 1719, the two must have married, but there is no record other than Sarah's headstone that says she was the wife of Jonathan Bangs. [11] [1] [3]

On 23 July 1720, he married Mrs. Ruth (Cole) Young, daughter of Daniel Cole and widow of John Young [1] [12] [2] [3] [4]

Jonathan was a selectman of Eastham three years; 1674, 1676 and 1682, 1683, 1687 and 1688 he was deputy to the Old Colony Court; in 1692 he was a representative to the general court at Boston. He was also sometimes town Treasurer of Eastham. He was a Captain of the militia. [2]

Jonathan Bangs used his seal of arms, the banks Crest as bronzed by Burke in his Heraldry of the commoners of England[2]

He died on 09 November 1728 at age 88, in Harwich, Massachusetts. [13] [2] [3] and is buried in the Old Burying Ground [14]

Is there any primary source (or secondary source citing credible primary sources) to show that Jonathan Bangs was actually a "Captain" other than his headstone?
posted by Scott Carles
See entry in "History and genealogy of the Bangs family in America" for Captain Jonathan Bangs (page 22): "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." Capt. Bangs would have been 35 years old at the time of "King Phillips' War" in 1675 when the native people were decimated.
