Rebecca Hobart, at the age of twenty-four, married Edward Bangs ofPlymouth, Massachusetts, where they lived for the next nine years. Rebecca's family was one of the seven Plymouth families who removed to Nauset (Eastham) about April 1644. Here she and her husband were given permission to sell "wine and strong waters at Eastham provided it bee for the refreshment of the English and not bee sold to the Indians."
Edward Bangs may have been married prior to 1623 when he came to NewEngland, if so, his wife must have died before his marriage to Lydia Hicks with whom he had a son named John. During his marriage to Rebecca, nine children were born, seven at Plymouth and about two at Eastham
