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.

Biography
Captain Samuel Mayo is believed to be the second child of Rev. John Mayo and his wife Tamsin (Brike) Mayo. He was born in Leiden, Netherlands where his father had followed the group led by William Brewster which broke from the Church of England.[1] His parents married in Leiden in 1618 and it is believed all of the Mayo siblings were born there. This is based upon later research (2010) which updates the work of Nickerson in NEHGR 1941 (which NEHGR gave authorization to include in the 2010 research). Baptismal records for Leiden, Netherlands English church where they would have been baptized by the Rev John Goodyear have not survived. Probable birth dates and birth order are extrapolated from numerous sources. See the Mayo-Rodwick book cited for details.
Samuel came to New England with his mother and father and four other children in 1638 (Savage, NEHGR; Hotten gives 1635), although the name of the ship is unknown. They settled in Barnstable[2]
Samuel Mayo was at least in his teens when the family moved to Barnstable in 1639, so he was probably born about 1620. He throve as a mariner. As soon as he could handle a boat, and knew how cod differ from hake, he set up in the fishing trade.[3] He ran a packet for some time between the Cape and Boston.[4] Samuel was ordained a teaching elder (minister) April 15, 1640 at Barnstable. [5]
He married William Lumpkin's daughter Thomasine (Tamsin), of Yarmouth, born about 1625[6], who had the same given name as her own mother and her mother-in-law. [7] In August, 1643, he was one of those between 16 and 60 in Barnstable able to bear arms. His wife joined the Barnstable church Jan. 20, 1649/50. [8] In 1647 the town deeded him land for a fishhouse, on Crowell's Point below his dwelling. He had, beside fishing smacks, coasters, and ran a packet to Boston, long before Barnstable had her great fleet to make it the busiest port on Cape Cod. [9]
June 7, 1648, he had a suit of trespass on the case against John Williams, Sr., for L40 damage. Not appearing, he was nonsuited and ordered to pay the charges of the court. In 1650 Capt. Samuel Mayo became Master of the bark Desire, the first important ship to hail from Barnstable. [10] June 4, 1650, he was propounded to take up his freedom. June 5, 1650, he and Mr. Thomas Howes were appointed administrators of Samuel Hallett, deceased. Oct. 2, 1652, Samuel Mayo was one of the witnesses to a deed at Barnstable, and Jan. 29, 1657/8, he also witnessed a writing. [11]
Purchase at Oyster Bay
In 1653 Peter Wright, Samuel Mayo and William Leveridge bought of Assiapum alias Moheness, an Indian sachem, the land now the village of Oyster Bay on Long Island. [12] Lloyds Neck, called by the Indians Caumsett, contains about 3,000 acres of land; projecting into the Sound between Cold Spring and Huntington Harbor, near Oyster Bay, New York. The purchase of this Neck was made the 20th of Sept., 1654, from Ratiocan, Sagamore, of Cow Harbor (now Northport) by Samuel Mayo, Daniel Whitehead and Peter Wright, three of the first settlers of Oyster Bay, for the price of 3 coats, 3 shirts, 2 cuttoes, 3 hatchets, 3 hoes, 2 fathom of Wampum, 6 knives, 2 pair of stockings, and 2 pair of shoes. They sold out to Samuel Anchewr, on the 6th of May 1658, for 100 pounds. [13] The 3 grantees by endorsement on the deed gave to 7 other persons equal rights with themselves in the land purchased. [14] There was a wide difference among the Sandwich settlers on theological points, but in this instance the minister, Rev. William Leverich, and his sympathizers, were the liberal and tolerant wing, and were in the minority.[15]
Leveridge had been the first pastor of the church in Sandwich, Mass., and employed Samuel Mayo, who owned the vessel named Desire, to transport his goods to Oyster Bay. [16] was seized for intercourse with the Dutch, then our enemies, In Hampstead Harbor the bark with her cargo … by Capt. Thomas Baxter, a Rhode Island privateer commissioned to act against the Dutch. At once, when the Commissioners of the Untied Colonies took the matter up, the Providence Assembly repudiated Baxter. He was arrested in Connecticut, and prosecuted in the Connecticut Court by the owners of the Desire: Dea. William Paddy, Capt. Thomas Willet, merchant John Barnes, and Capt. Samuel Mayo. Baxter was mulcted 150 pounds damages, obliged to give up the ship, and penalized 50 pounds for his 'insolent carriages in the Court.'[17]
Mayo was at Oyster Bay for some time, but did not settle there permanently. [18] In 1654, he was pressed into an expedition against the Dutch. He is then spoken of as "of Barnstable," perhaps because he had not gained a residence in his new home. How long he was detained in service is not certain….
The “Desire”
She was a swift craft and her log has interest, as she was the third vessel laid down in Massachusetts. She was built at Marblehead in the summer of 1636, of 120 tons burden. 3 falcons and a falconet with other equipment came from the bark Warwick. Her first master for whom she sailed was Capt. William pierce, 'a skillful navigator and a Christian gentleman.' She first took Endecott's soldiers to Block Island for the Pequot War, and the next year carried them supplies. Then she sailed to the West Indies with prisoners, rum, and salt fish; to return in 7 months laden with cotton, salt, and the first negroes to be enslaved in New England. In 1639 she made from Boston go Gravesend in the Thames in 23 days. In her, Captain Pierce made his last voyage to the Bahamas, where he was killed by the Spaniards at New Providence on 13 July 1641. The good ship headed for home; her dead were buried at sea.
'The original owners of the "Desire" were in debt to the John Harvard estate, according to accounts made up by Captain Pierce, Master, and the Agent of Mtr. Craddocke, one of them, and passed by Mr. Peters, another owner. When the president of Harvard College brought suit against William Pierce, Jr., and Wichard Web in Middlesex court the debt was long overdue and in excess of 80 pounds. There is record of a hearing on 1 Oct. 1650. Eventually the Desire came to be controlled by Capt. Samuel Mayo and his partners. [19]
Move to Boston, Death and Probate
Samuel witnessed a deed in Waymouth, Mass. in 1657. By 1658 he had moved to Boston where another of his 9 children were born. Capt. Samuel Mayo was also called Deacon. [20]
In about 1658, he removed to Boston, where he resided until his death in 1663. His father, Mr. John Mayo, was appointed to administer upon the estate, the widow declining to take out letters - April 26, 1664. [21]
"At a Countye Court held at Boston the 26th of Aprill 1664 power of Adminsitration to the Estate of the Late Samuell Mayoh Marriner Deceased is graunted to Mr John Mayo his father the Widow of the said Sam Mayo refusing to take Administration in the behalfe of the Creditors & Children of the said Samuell so far as the estate will Reache unto ~
Edward Ranson Recorder"[21]
Inventory of the estate of Samuell Mayo Deceased was taken the 25th of April 1664 included only household goods, guns and one "Bigge olde Bible," totalling £21. Appraisers were Christopher Gibson and Michaell Wills. Mr. John Maio deposed that the inventory of his late son Samuel Mayo was true.[21]
After Samual Mayo's death, his widow Tamsin married 2d, Mr. John Sunderland of Boston, who later was a citizen of Eastham. ‘The widow, Thomasine, married John Sunderland of Boston, in or about 1665. She died at the age of 81, June 13, 1709, and lies buried in the Brewster cemetery beside her last husband, Mr. Sunderland, who died December 26, 1709, in his 85th year.' [22], Mrs. Samuel(1) Mayo afterwards married Mr. John Sunderland of Eastham (born 1618). She died in her eighty-fourth year, June sixteenth, 1709, and was buried in the old burying ground in Harwich (now Brewster). Mr. John Sunderland died December twenty-sixth, 1703, in his eighty-fifth year; his first wife died January twenty-ninth, 1663.
Children[23]
Samuel Mayo and his wife had 6 children:
1. Mary, who was baptized in Barnstable Feb. 3, 1649/50, and married Capt. Jonathan Bangs July 16, 1664, who lived in Eastham and Harwich (now Brewster);
2. Samuel, baptized in Barnstable Feb. 3, 1649/50;
Mary and Samuel were baptized together, 3 Feb. 1650 (their mother having joined Lothrop's church 20 January preceding.) “The long lapse of time for those days between the births and baptism, and the fact that the mother joined Mr. Lotherop's church Jan. 20 preceding the baptism, indicates that she was in sympathy with the disaffection towards the majority of the Yarmouth church and the minister, which was known to exist at that time.”[24]
3. Hannah, b. Barnstable Oct. 20, 1650;
4. Elizabeth, b. Barnstable May 22, 1653, who m. March 16, 1674/5, the Rev. Samuel Treat, who had become minister of Eastham in 1672;

Please add only correct children
Please do your research and there is much research on this family ...this had many added children with no sources, no historical references of ever being the children and many duplicates....appears now to be accurate after much work! Even Tamsin's second husband in where he should be too! If there is too many duplicates everywhere how can we connect with the correctly studied families...

The following was taken from WikiTree (go to the profile for more information and sources https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mayo-20)
Captain Samuel Mayo was the eldest son of Rev. John Mayo and his wife Tamsin. He was born in England and came to New England with his mother and father and four other children in 1638, although the name of the ship is unknown. They settled in Barnstable.
Samuel Mayo was at least in his teens when the family moved to Barnstable in 1639, so he was probably born about 1620. He throve as a mariner. As soon as he could handle a boat, and knew how cod differ from hake, he set up in the fishing trade. He ran a packet for some time between the Cape and Boston. Samuel was ordained a teaching elder (minister) April 15, 1640 at Barnstable.
He married William Lumpkin's daughter Thomasine (Tamsin), of Yarmouth, born about 1625, who had the same given name as her own mother and her mother-in-law. In August, 1643, he was one of those between 16 and 60 in Barnstable able to bear arms. His wife joined the Barnstable church Jan. 20, 1649/50. In 1647 the town deeded him land for a fishhouse, on Crowell's Point below his dwelling. He had, beside fishing smacks, coasters, and ran a packet to Boston, long before Barnstable had her great fleet to make it the busiest port on Cape Cod.
June 7, 1648, he had a suit of trespass on the case against John Williams, Sr., for £40 damage. Not appearing, he was nonsuited and ordered to pay the charges of the court. In 1650 Capt. Samuel Mayo became Master of the bark Desire, the first important ship to hail from Barnstable. June 4, 1650, he was propounded to take up his freedom. June 5, 1650, he and Mr. Thomas Howes were appointed administrators of Samuel Hallett, deceased. Oct. 2, 1652, Samuel Mayo was one of the witnesses to a deed at Barnstable, and Jan. 29, 1657/8, he also witnessed a writing.
