CAPTAIN JONATHAN BANGS (1640-1728) a Legislator and Farmer was born in 1640, at Plymouth, Massachusetts. He married Mary Mayo on the sixteenth day of July 1664, at Eastham, Massachusetts.
Jonathan was four years of age when, in 1644, his father's family moved to Nausset, Massachusetts.
In 1658, at the age of eighteen, Jonathan 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, he is called a Lieutenant. Again in 1690, he was an Ensign. And he is called by the title of Captain on the stone marking his grave in the old burying ground at Brewster, Massachusetts.
In the civic affairs of Eastham, Massachusetts, in 1658, Jonathan was made a rate-maker for the term of one year, beginning with 1659. He was appointed, in 1670, to act in the matter of "Pine Knots." He was elected by the freemen of Eastham to be their Selectman, in 1674, for three years. They also elected him to be their Deputy to the Old Colony Court at Plymouth, serving as such in the years 1676, 1682, 1683, 1687, and 1688. In 1676 he was empowered to act for the town in reference to a misunderstanding between Eastham and other towns on the Cape growing out of the war.
Jonathan was appointed the whole and sole executor, who, it would appear, was somewhat of a favorite with his father, from whose hands he received a good share of his landed estate, which was considerable, he having been of that favored number called Purchasers or Old Comers. His father undoubtedly resided with Jonathan the last years of his life.
In 1692, Jonathan 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 understanding that all power residing originally in, and being derived from the people, and that all the magistrates and officers of government, are their substitutes and agents, and at all times accountable to them, was elected one of the two 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 four appointed from Harwich to meet a like number selected from Eastham to settle the bounds between the two towns, "the matter being in controversy." The agreement was signed and sealed on the sixteenth day of October, in the fourth year of the reign of our Gracious Lady, Queen Anne.
At Plymouth, on the seventh day of July 1680, eight men, including Jonathan, signed a document agreeing that all the tract of land known as Satucket, bought by them, would be equally divided.
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, 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.
Jonathan's older brothers John and Joshua were married but left no descendants. He had three wives and twelve children. He was a prominent man in his day, and he settled finally in Harwich. Jonathan at the age of eighty-eight died in1728, at Harwich.

CAPTAIN JONATHAN BANGS (1640-1728) a Legislator and Farmer was born in 1640, at Plymouth, Massachusetts. He married Mary Mayo on the sixteenth day of July 1664, at Eastham, Massachusetts.
Jonathan was four years of age when, in 1644, his father's family moved to Nausset, Massachusetts.
In 1658, at the age of eighteen, Jonathan 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, he is called a Lieutenant. Again in 1690, he was an Ensign. And he is called by the title of Captain on the stone marking his grave in the old burying ground at Brewster, Massachusetts.
In the civic affairs of Eastham, Massachusetts, in 1658, Jonathan was made a rate-maker for the term of one year, beginning with 1659. He was appointed, in 1670, to act in the matter of "Pine Knots." He was elected by the freemen of Eastham to be their Selectman, in 1674, for three years. They also elected him to be their Deputy to the Old Colony Court at Plymouth, serving as such in the years 1676, 1682, 1683, 1687, and 1688. In 1676 he was empowered to act for the town in reference to a misunderstanding between Eastham and other towns on the Cape growing out of the war.
Jonathan was appointed the whole and sole executor, who, it would appear, was somewhat of a favorite with his father, from whose hands he received a good share of his landed estate, which was considerable, he having been of that favored number called Purchasers or Old Comers. His father undoubtedly resided with Jonathan the last years of his life.
In 1692, Jonathan 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 understanding that all power residing originally in, and being derived from the people, and that all the magistrates and officers of government, are their substitutes and agents, and at all times accountable to them, was elected one of the two 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 four appointed from Harwich to meet a like number selected from Eastham to settle the bounds between the two towns, "the matter being in controversy." The agreement was signed and sealed on the sixteenth day of October, in the fourth year of the reign of our Gracious Lady, Queen Anne.
At Plymouth, on the seventh day of July 1680, eight men, including Jonathan, signed a document agreeing that all the tract of land known as Satucket, bought by them, would be equally divided.
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, 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.
Jonathan's older brothers John and Joshua were married but left no descendants. He had three wives and twelve children. He was a prominent man in his day, and he settled finally in Harwich. Jonathan at the age of eighty-eight died in1728, at Harwich.

CAPTAIN JONATHAN BANGS (1640-1728) a Legislator and Farmer was born in 1640, at Plymouth, Massachusetts. He married Mary Mayo on the sixteenth day of July 1664, at Eastham, Massachusetts.
Jonathan was four years of age when, in 1644, his father's family moved to Nausset, Massachusetts.
In 1658, at the age of eighteen, Jonathan 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, he is called a Lieutenant. Again in 1690, he was an Ensign. And he is called by the title of Captain on the stone marking his grave in the old burying ground at Brewster, Massachusetts.
In the civic affairs of Eastham, Massachusetts, in 1658, Jonathan was made a rate-maker for the term of one year, beginning with 1659. He was appointed, in 1670, to act in the matter of "Pine Knots." He was elected by the freemen of Eastham to be their Selectman, in 1674, for three years. They also elected him to be their Deputy to the Old Colony Court at Plymouth, serving as such in the years 1676, 1682, 1683, 1687, and 1688. In 1676 he was empowered to act for the town in reference to a misunderstanding between Eastham and other towns on the Cape growing out of the war.
Jonathan was appointed the whole and sole executor, who, it would appear, was somewhat of a favorite with his father, from whose hands he received a good share of his landed estate, which was considerable, he having been of that favored number called Purchasers or Old Comers. His father undoubtedly resided with Jonathan the last years of his life.
In 1692, Jonathan 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 understanding that all power residing originally in, and being derived from the people, and that all the magistrates and officers of government, are their substitutes and agents, and at all times accountable to them, was elected one of the two 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 four appointed from Harwich to meet a like number selected from Eastham to settle the bounds between the two towns, "the matter being in controversy." The agreement was signed and sealed on the sixteenth day of October, in the fourth year of the reign of our Gracious Lady, Queen Anne.
At Plymouth, on the seventh day of July 1680, eight men, including Jonathan, signed a document agreeing that all the tract of land known as Satucket, bought by them, would be equally divided.
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, 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.
Jonathan's older brothers John and Joshua were married but left no descendants. He had three wives and twelve children. He was a prominent man in his day, and he settled finally in Harwich. Jonathan at the age of eighty-eight died in1728, at Harwich.
