Query PB: Where would I find the Yale papers? Looks interesting!"
Here 'tis: 60 Boxes - at least 11 scrapbooks, much more. It would be
interesting for a few descendants, or just one descendant, to review these
for genealogical purposes. I'll throw in a few bucks for copying. Take a
digital camera w/lots of digital 'film'/ cards. Perhaps other Bangs would
also like to join in!

This is just one msg re: the Yale Collection:

My 2 cents worth - one of the Big stories is why Jonathan Bangs went
south, w/Carruthers, almost certainly for a shipping Enterprise, and md a
Carruthers - more also.
Jonathan Bangs dec. of Edward Bangs to Mass in 1623 on the "Anne", b
dec 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."
Here are a couple msgs from the Bangs Archives w/some interesting info:

Much more but:
" The author of the book states that Jonathan Bang Jr son of Capt Edward -
b 1673 md 1st Elizabeth 2nd Experience Berrry - he d 1736 - will dated 3
Feb 1736/7 pro 17 March 1736 - daughters Mercy, Mary, Elizabeth, Thankful
Covell, sons Abner - not 21, John, James, Samuel, Elisha and Jonathan. Son
Jonathan received no land - only money. Son Jonathan b Dec 1798 - md Ruth
Bangs and they went to Putnam co, NY. He does not follow the line . . . .
Found these on a web site called "coastal carolina connections." I am
betting that this Jonathan was the son of the Massachusetts Jonathan Bangs
(1640-1728). As you can see, John Carruthers was his uncle, and Abiah Bangs
was his widow. He had a sister named Thankfull--a solid Puritan ring to it.
ince there is a coat of arms on the seal, it would be easy to compare it to
any NE coat of arms of the same family.."
So much more fun stuff in our Archives emails:
