Searching for them is a booger because the S in Bangs I suppose looks like an E to searching tools (looks like s to me, though). They have a son Harris. Dates match up. Charles is around New Windsor in 1910, too (again, Bange/Bangs issues). Maybe you've already had this question answered, but if this is all you have, I'll nose around for you next time I'm in Carroll Co. Again, I'd need more proof, but it doesn't look too bad for starters. Mike Stauffer
