Individual Notes
Jonathan Bangs, the only male sibling of his father, makes his firstappearance as an adult on Eastham records in 1658, as an Ensign of the local military foot company, which he went on in later years to be their Captain. Also this year, he was elected to be the tax rate-maker, which he did for one year. Jonathan became a select man at Eastham in 1674 and for the next three years, served the Plymouth Court as a deputy. In 1692 Jonathan Bangs was one of the two representatives fromEastham, that were appointed to the new General Court at Boston. This court was created by the new Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colonies, Sir William Phipps. Sometime between 1694 and 1700, Jonathan settled at Brewster, Massachusetts, a neighboring town of Eastham. He had inherited his fathers' possessions here, located between the Saquatuckett river and Namskaket. His father came to possess this land as an "Old Comer" (mentioned above). Capt. Jonathan Bangs probably left a will, however I have no knowledgeof it. He was a wealthy man, inheriting much of his wealth from his father, owning large tracts of land at Brewster, Eastham and Truro. When signing documents, he would use his seal, the family crest of a Moor’s head, wearing a cap.
