Hello, I am trying to discover the parents of the Jonathan Bangs of Harwich, Barnstable, Massachusetts born before June 29th 1745. He married Deborah---and had children, Jonathan, Willard, Ezekial,Thankful (born 12 July 1774 in Brewster, Mass) and Deborah. At some point after 1777, he moved to Maine and married widow Rebecca Skillings Babb. They lived in Buxton, Maine. Jonathan's daughter Thankful married Rebecca's son Peter Babb. They are my 4th great grandparents. My problem is that McLellan's History of Gorham, Maine says this Jonathan Bangs is the son of Barnabus Bangs (11 March, 1727/28 - 29 January 1808). But the dates don't match up, and I haven't found a marriage for Barnabus prior to his 1751 marriage to Loruhama Elwell in Falmouth, Maine. It seems likely that Jonathan is a brother, not a son of Barnabus. That would make Jonathan's parents Ann Sears and Ebenezer Bangs. Is there anything that will help me with a positive identification? Thank you, Margaret
