| Individual Notes | |||
| One tradition says that; in about May, 1623, Edward Bangs, his wifeLydia and child John along with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Margaret Hicks, sailed to New England to join his father-in-law, Robert Hicks, who had preceded him on the ship ‘Fortune’ in 1621. Edward’s family sailed on the ship ‘Ann,’, William Peirce, Master, carrying sixty passengers and livestock. The ‘Ann’ was the third of the Pilgrim ships to arrive at Plymouth, preceded by first the ‘Mayflower,’ in 1620 and the ‘Fortune,’ in 1621. On July l0, 1623, the ship landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts. Also as passengers were the daughters of Rev. William Brewster, Fear and Patience. We know that his profession was a shipwright or carpenter, indicative to his being employed to work on the ‘Ann’ prior to her voyage, making her seaworthy and fit for the journey. Edward was supposed to have supervised the building of the first vessel at Plymouth.
During the year 1641/2, Sixteen people of the colony each contributed,an equal part (1/16th) for the building of a 40-50 ton trade ship at the cost of Ł200. Edward, being skilled in this trade, acted as supervisor over its construction for which he received as pay, eighty acres of land. His occupation may have been diverse because "Freeman's History of Cape Cod" states that Edward "was engaged quite extensively in trade." The next year, 1643, his name appears on a Plymouth list of persons between the age of 16 and 60 able to bear arms.
With his health and years declining, Edward made out a will on October19, 1677, giving his age as 86. It names son Jonathan as executor and gave bequeaths to all children except Rebecca, who preceded him in death, also to his grandchildren. It was probated on March 5, 1677/8.
The ship Ann was the third Pilgrim ship, of 1623, preceded by theMayflower in 1620 and the Fortune in 1621.
