David Bangs was born at Harwich, Massachusetts (his grandfather was the first of the name to settle), March 29, 1709, and there married Miss Eunice Stone, daughter of Rev. Nathaniel, the First Congregational minister in Harwich, September 23, 1731. Mr. Bangs appears to have been a farmer. He and his wife were very prominent church folks and society folks in their native town. But they removed from Harwich to Hardwick, Massacusetts, in 1768. His fourteen children had all been born, and the eldest was 35 years of age and the youngest 14. I suppose some of them were going to the newer lands of Franklin County, and they wanted their parents to go with them. There he could help them to such lands as they required, such property being less expensive and more suitable for farming. It was growing hard to make money of the seaboard as the Revolutionary times approached. Some of his children, that went to Hardwick, were Enoch, Nathan, Reliance, Azariah, and probably all those not of age. After living in Western Massachusetts about thirty years, Mr. David Bangs and his wife went to Wilmington, Windham County, Vermont, and lived with their son Adnah, and there he died April 11, or April 4, 1802, at the age of 94. His wife survived him, dying February 5, 1816, aged 104 years 9 months. She was born in 1711.
When she was 100 years old, she attended church and listened to a sermon in honor of her completed century of life. She walked three-fourths of a mile from her home on that occasion, with her cane, and, being a little deaf, took a seat in the pulpit.

History and Genealogy of the Bangs Family in America, Dean Dudley, self published, Montrose, MA, 1890.

David Bangs moved from Harwich to Hardwick, Massachusetts, in Western Massachusetts in 1768. His son Nathan had settled there shortly before the birth of his first daughter in 1761. Enoch, another son, was admitted to the church in Hardwick 4 September 1763. A third son, Azariah, accompanied his father in his journey in 1768. It was in Hardwick that David's daughter Reliance met Nathan Billing; the couple married 26 December 1769.
An ancestor of John Jenney, John of Dartmouth, MA, moved to Hardwick in 1755. An ancestor of Plymouth Colony Governor Thomas Hinckley, Seth Hinckley, moved from Harwich to Hardwick shortly after his marriage, in 1755.

Edward Bangs, Plymouth, born perhaps 1592, at Chichester, Co. Sussex, came in the Ann, 1623, and married after 1627, as is presumed Lydia, daughter of Robert Hicks, had Rebecca; John; Sarah, Jonathan, b. 1640; Lydia; Hannah; Joshua; Bethia, 28 May 1650; Mercy, and Apphia, twins 15 Oct. 1651. He had removed with Gov. Prence, 1644, to Eastham, was a shipwright, and directed the labor, says a reasonable tradition, on the first vessel built in the Colony although earlier ones had been launched in Massachusetts, was a representative, 1647, and served other years. He died 1677. In his will of that year, 19 October, . . . he evidenced to us that all his children were then living except Rebecca, who had married 26 October 1654 Jonathan Sparrow, and left children. . . . No certainty is attainable as to the order of births of most of his children.

Genealogical Directory of the First Settlers of New England, James Savage, Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., Baltimore, 1977.

Edward Bangs, born in England about 1592, died 1678. He came to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the Anne, which arrived there in July, 1623.
He had four acres of land for a garden plot on the other side of Eel River in 1623. Robert Hicks, and his wife and children, who came over, also had four acres by the pound [pond?]. Mr. Hicks himself had come over in the Fortune, in 1621, with Mr. Thomas Prence, and they each had one acre then beyond the first brook of Plymouth. Mr. Hicks, whose daughter Edward Bangs married, had been a successful fellmonger, or hide and wool merchant, in Southwark, near London, England. At Plymouth he was called planter. The Plymouth Memorial says he was a merchant and occupied the Allyne House in 1645. He died in 1647 at Plymouth leaving a will, dated 1645, in which he mentions his grandson "John Bangs".
In 1627 there was a division of cows and goats and Mr. Edward Bangs was in the twelfth group which consisted of the Jenneys, Robert Hicks and his wife and children, viz.: Margaret, Samuel, Ephraim, Lydia and Phebe and Mr. Stephen Deane. He [Edward Bangs] was then thirty-five years of age. He drew the big line-back cow brought over in the Anne. There was a division of land that year, that had not been previously divided, and twenty acres were allotted to each person. Edward Bangs was one of the surveyors appointed to lay out the lots, the others being William Bradford, Edward Winslow, John Howland, Francis Cook, and Joshua Pratt.
At Plymouth, in 1633, Mr. Bangs was made a "freeman" and taxed 12s. In 1634-5 and 6 he was one of the Assessors. October, 1636, he sat on a jury to try "actions and abuses." In 1636-7 he was one of the Great Inquest or Grand Jury, sworn to enquire of all abuses within the body of the Government. In 1737 he was appointed with the Governor and Assistants and Mr. Stephen Hopkins, as a committee to divide the meadow grounds. In 1638 he was one of the Grand Inquest. In 1639 he was appointed by the Court as an arbitrator between Samuel Gorton and Thomas Clark. He was sometimes overseer of the guard against the Indians. In 1640 he was on the Grand Inquest, also in 1641. In 1641-2 he contributed one-sixteenth part of the money to build a bargue of 40 or 50 tons burthen, to cost 200 pounds. Stephen Hopkins also contributed one-sixteenth part. The court of Plymouth granted to Edward Bangs eighty acres of land on condition that he contribute one-sixteenth part toward building a barque of 40 or 50 tons. He is said to have superintended the building of the vessel, being a shipwright by trade.
In 1645 he was a "Freeman of Nawsett", or Eastham, the oldest town on Cape Cod.
Here is where the pilgrims first came to purchase Indian corn of the natives. The squaws used to cultivate this corn, using alewives for a fertilizer, putting one in each hill. There were extensive salt marshes at Nauset, as Eastham was called by the Indians. The tribe here were the Nausets.
The brooks were full of alewives at certain seasons, when these fish were going up to the ponds to spawn and when they returned to the sea, as their custom is. Shell fish were abundant, the salt marshes produced hay without cultivation; several kinds of berries, as huckleberries, cranberries, and blueberries of the best sorts abounded in the wild lands, and wheat grew well here in some fertile spots. Hence we may comprehend why this locality was considered a favorable place for settlement, even by the wealthiest and most independent familes of the Plymouth pilgrims. Food was at hand for man and beast, and the highway of the sea was on every side, ready to bear commodities to and from other ports of the world.
Nearby the whole church of Plymouth at first contemplated removing to Eastham, and the Colony Court made a grant to the Church, or "to those that go to dwell at Nauset," of "all that tract of land lying between sea and sea, from the purchasers' bounds to Nauskeket to the herring-brook at Billingsgate, with said herring-brook and all the meadows on both sides of said brook, with great bass pond there and all the meadows and islands within the said tract."
He [Edward Bangs] was, 1643, in a list of those at Plymouth able to bear arms, that is, between 16 and 60 years of age. About 1650 he was a deputy to the Old Colony Court. In 1654 Edward Bangs and his wife "Rebecca" gave a deed to M. Kempton, which is recorded at Plymouth Registry, Vol. I., page 209. In 1652 he was one of the jurors to lay out a convenient way from Sandwich unto Plymouth, and he was that year one of the deputies of Eastham for Plymouth Colony Court. He was the town treasurer of Eastham from 1646 to 1665, and a selectman two years about 1665. In 1657 he was licensed as a merchant at Eastham.
Freeman's History of Cape Cod says he was for many years engaged quite extensively in trade. His son, John Bangs, took the oath of fidelity in Eastham in 1657. His home was in what is now Orleans. In 1659, the military being required to arm and equip for service, and three "troop horse" being the proportion of Eastham, Gov. Thomas Prence and Edward Bangs each agreed to furnish a man and horse, at his own expense, for two years. His son Jonathan, then nineteen years of age, was Ensign of the foot company.
Mr. Edward Bangs died at Eastham in 1678, aged 86 years.

[What follows is information furnished by various ancestors]

According to tradition in the Bangs family, Edward was a native or inhabitant of Chichester, a city in the County of Sussex, England. He is supposed to be the ancestor of all by the name of Bangs in America. He came over from England in the Anne, one of the three first vessels which arrived at Plymouth. The other two were the Fortune and the Mayflower, and the passengers in these three vessels are commonly called the "Pilgrims of Plymouth", as they united in forming the government, dividing the lands, etc. The Mayflower arrived in Dec., 1620, with Carver, Bradford, etc. The Fortune arrived Nov., 1621, and the Anne in July, 1623. In 1645 Edward Bangs with his family moved to a new settlement of Cape Cod at the spot, or near it, where the pilgrims first set foot on land previous to their final landing at Plymouth. This settlement, for some time, retained the Indian name of Nauset, but afterwards was called Eastham, a name still belonging to a part of the territory.
The Pilgrim's name was at first most frequently spelt "Banges", and was so inscribed on tombstones. I think he was often called "Captain", as he owned and commanded vessels, although he also carried on farming and leather manufacturing quiet extensively.
In regard to where the pilgrim Edward Bangs' house stood we have evidence, as Mr. Josiah Paine writes, that it was on the borders of Town Cove, but the exact spot is not known. Undoubtedly he was buried in the ancient cemetery of Eastham, where others of the early settlers lie. The old meeting house stood near the cemetery.
All of the first settlers were located in Eastham, but soon afterwards some of them went over to Pochet, where the land was better. In dividing his lands by his will, Edward Bangs gave Capt. Jonathan his portion principally in Satucket, that is Brewster, as it is now called, and Capt. Jonathan settled there about 1694, having sons and daughters, while the other two sons of the pilgrim had none.

from Edward Dillingham Bangs

The tradition which has been preseved in our branch of the Bangs family, and also other branches, is that Edward Bangs, the founder of the family in this country, came from the Isle of Man. He may have lived in Chichester some time previously to emigrating; but he was either born in the Isle of Man or his immediate family was located there. My great-grandfather (Rev. Heman Bangs), whose eldest daughter (my grandmother) is still living, has often been heard to say that his grandfather, Joseph Bangs of Harwich, had often told him that Edward Bangs, the immigrant, came from the Isle of Man. The fleur-de-lis in our crest shows that the family must have come originally from France or Normandy. The name Bangs is possibly from the word baines, the Norman word for baths. It is known that at a very early date the Banks family was a prominent one in the northwest of England. History tells us that about this time (beginning of the 14th century) the Isle of Man came under the English dominion; and subsequently many Norman English families settled in the Isle of Man, which had been previously inhabited by Celtic races, and descendants of the old Norse Vikings, who had ruled there.
