Sorry RTS & Frank - I had intended this full msg to head your way - but here
'tis.
Only a dna comparison could / would sort out the Denmark Bangs from 'our'
[Edward BANGS 1591-1677] - arrived US 1623.' AND the Denmark contingent
from the UK blood stock. The dna people would need at least one of each
contingent to attempt to sort out the dna origins. If interested, go to the
web page for a full discussion. The cost (can be paid by anyone) is abt $200
for each person tested. The reps of FTdna would explain the issues and
procedure. Either go straight to their Web page, or our FTdna rep would
explain.

Hi Maureen, [and all Bangs researchers on the List]
The only Bangs of whom we had ever been aware is Abiah Bangs, and up pops
Content (Bangs) md on of 'our' Carruthers:
- Edwd Bangs (arrived on the Anne to Mass. 1623) and his descendant (SON?)
Jonathan Bangs md Abiah Carruthers,
- John Carruthers (bro of Abiah) md Content Bangs (sis of Jon)
- Rocksolannah Carruthers md John Witherington s/o Robt
Widdrington(e)/Witherington d 1722 md Elizabeth Dare
And so, in one incredibly packed message/exchange, we joined the Bangs
family at an early time, w/no known present/recent connections.
While we have all been aware that there was a possible, even suspected,
Bangs connection, because of the prominence played by the Bangs in the lives
of Carruthers/Wtons (and how significant does that witness to the John
Carruthers 1751 will by the name of Abiah Bangs look now!!!), we've been
busy doing gen, but nut much Bangs Gen, so we are not knowledgeable of any
present Bangs Gen.
However, I'm posting this to the Bangs-L List, in case someone can
assist.Good luck,
Barry
PS: I did bring Chubby Checker & the Twist to Tivoli Gardens in 1962 - does
that count?

Hi & Thanks Tex,
Is it your thought that this Edward BANGS 1591-1677 is the
'Patriarch'>Edward BANGS arrived to Mass. on the 'Anne' 1607 and
featured
in the >Library >collection(s), see our prior messages of recent. He would
have been abt 16 >yrs old then.
I'm unfamiliar w/Robt Hicks - why are you following his connection to
>Bangs? Is he impor to your Line (and mine)? This is certainly a valuable
>Link, and begins to flesh out our angs/Carruthers/W'ton/Dare connection
to >an even greater detail.
Thanks for thinking of us!
Barry

fine tuning my line.

Ascendants are specifically from Dumfriesshire - Kirkmahoe, Lochmaben,
Closeburn, Guillyburn & Sorrysyke.
Other associated names are BOBBETT, McCUBBIN, McVITTIE, SHAW, MURRAY etc

A poem by the Rhodesian Pioneer John "Jack" CARRUTHERS
The road old Granddad made - 15-3-1929
Where Zambezi placid waters flow
In Africa's quiet neath warmly sun
No silent wilds will now a peace bestow.
My road gathers nearer day by day
Now to all the world an open way
"Tis the road old Granddad made"
In coming years Zambezi road then worn
And time has changed this whole domain
Remember when other thoughts are born
I'll be gone, Grand dads work will still remain
I can see you trail this road someday
The highway to Zambezi's future trade
Then viewing the hinterland you'll say
"Tis the road old Grand dad made"
