Hi,
We are in the middle of a controversy re: whether there was a 'Content
Bangs' md John Carruthers. We show:
-----------------
Jonathan Bangs, dec of Edwd Bangs to MA 1623 on the "Anne"
b dec 1689, "Marriner of Harwich, Mass" Barnstable Co MA
md #2 ABIAH CARRUTHERS s/of John Carruthers f/of Rocksolanah.
Md MA John Carruthers md CONTENT BANGS s/of Jonathan.
-----------------
My 'Line' is:
1 Robt Widdrington/Witherington d 1722 w/will md Eliz Dare
2 John Witherington b1703 md Rocksolannah Carruthers b abt 1720
[d/o John Carruthers md Content (Bangs)]
My GGGG Gm Rocksolannah Carruthers' father John md Content Bangs, or at
least this is what we show. The well developed Bangs genealogy does not have
this connection.
You Gen site:
http://www.reimert.org/genealogy/database/index.htm
is one of few that makes ref to a 'Content Bangs,' apparently having been in
your database from prior to the 'controversy' that has been raised. While I
know this seems to be a relatively isolated link in your database, I was
wondering if you might have any information to assist us to determine
whether your Content Bangs might be useful to this discussion.
TIA for your consideration and whatever assistance you may provide.
Barry Wetherington
PS: More info below FYI.

Hi All Bangs, Carruthers, Dare, Witherington, Widdrington and other
associated family researchers;
In an attempt to answer some queries and to provide all of the NEW
"Bangs - Carruthers Evidence" 'proofs' in one short easy to read
message, I
am pasting below the new proofs, discovered in the last month or so,
consisting primarily of Christine's December evidence developed in her local
library in Texas, and then Betty's supporting evidence posted later in
January.
The analyses of these proofs have been contained in a number of messages
sent by many co-operating researchers in the last month, and there have been
many other relevant posts over the years, BUT, for purposes of the requested
NEW 'Proofs', at least as I see them, this is IT!
Christines Dec 2001 PROOFS:

1689, "Marriner of Harwich, Mass", Barnstable Co, Mass. m. as wife #2 ABIAH
CARRUTHERS, sister of John Carruthers, father of Rocksolanah. Marriage took
place in Mass. John Carruthers m. CONTENT BANGS, sister of Jonathan.
Jonathan and Content Bangs father left a will in Mass. naming all his kids.
Jonathan had no children from Wife #1 Ruth___.
Jonathan Bangs and John Carruthers bought land 1738 in New Bern, Craven Co.,
NC next to each other and moved in 1739 from Mass to Nc.
Bangs deed may be recorded in Mass., which means that the Carruthers deed
may be there too.
NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL AND GEN. REGISTER
Vol. 8 p. 368
Vol 10 p. 157-158, 168
vol. 115 also has Bangs/Carruthers info, I think p. 247
these pages should have the desc. and marriges between the Bangs and
Carruthers sorted out.........only had indexes down here in deep south
texas.
Oh, Jane _______ was wife of John Carruthers Jr (Rocksolanah's brother),
named as wittn. on will of Jerimiah Murphy in Craven Co., Nc Nov. 1750
