There was also a John Bangs in Plymouth in the early years, who was assigned hay ground on 20 March 1636/37 (PCR 1:56), and thus he would [p.239] seem to have been too old to have been a son of Edward Bangs, unless he was born to an earlier wife, and came over after his father. Of course, he could just as well have been a brother or no relation at all. There seems to be no other record of this John Bangs, and the name could even have been a spelling error for some other name, such as John Barnes. On 1 May 1660 George Watson asked the court on behalf of his son John Watson and his nephew John Bangs to correct a mistake in the records about a purchase of land in the Dartmouth area that should have been in the name of Mr. Robert Hicks (PCR 3:186); this John Bangs would have been the son of Edward, for Robert Hicks was his grandfather, and George Watson had married Hicks's daughter Phebe. This John Bangs was also mentioned as a grandson in the wills of both Robert Hicks and his wife Margaret Hicks (MD 8:143, 16:157). A genealogy of the family can be found in Dean Dudley, History and Genealogy of the Bangs Family in America (Montrose, Mass., 1896).
