Hi List,
Here is Bitsy's Dillingham Bangs Content family List, posted so it can be
included in the List Archives. It adds to, but may not further clarify, the
Content Bangs Carruthers issue (bw).
She also added another comment:
'Additional note - just discovered note of (Bitsy's) Mother's saying Mrs.
Susannah Dillingham (sorry I didn't notice that earlier. Don't know why
they would name son after previous husband)???'

Bitsy, what I was seeking from the children as you listed them:
Additional issue of Elkanah & Content:
1. Sally 10/25/1751-__ + 3/30/1775 Richard Arey __-1786)
2. Rhoda 1/19/1754- __ + Richard Clark 2/18/1750-8/12/1818)
3. Dean 5/31/1756-12/6/1844-Sidney, Maine + 8/21/1780 Eunice
Sparrow 12/30/1756-9/3/1818 d/o Isaac & Mary (Hopkins) Sparrow
4. John Dillingham Bangs 12/30/1758-7/6/1814 md Content Smith .. -9/3/1837)
5. Bela (12/19/1763-1783)
6. Elkanah (4/15/1766-c1840) + (1791) Sarah Crosby (c11/1771-2/11/1849) d/o
Sylvanus & Azubah Unk
7. Susanna 6/24/1771-11/27/1828 + 1/9/1794 Abraham Winslow 10/24/1770 -
11/27/1828-Brewster
8. Olive 1/19/1774-7/3/1847 + Sylvanus Snow
(dates for b & d of Sarah Crosby from Vital Records of Brewster)
was an understanding from other issue given names (& surnames) of the family
and if Content might have been named from her mother - ie was Content md Jon
Bangs a Carruthers? For ex, apparently they named a son after Elkanah, why
not a dau Content?
Best,
Barry
Hi Barry,
You inspired me to get back to Mother's notes; and by golly, there it
was. She gives her source as "Mayflower Descendents", Vol. 33, p147.
Thanks very much,
Bitsy,

Hi Barry,
I am new at this newsletter, wanted to reply to your question. Not
sure what you meant by "Does Dillingham mean anything to anyone". This is
probably not news to you, but if it is - hope it helps:
Elkanah Bangs (3/31/1732-7/1777) + (9/16/1750) Susanna Dillingham
1/23/1732-4/18/1788 - d/o Jonathan & Mehitable (Gray) Dillingham
issue: #4 John Dillingham Bangs ((12/30/1758-7/6/1814)
+
Content Smith ( ___- 9/3/1837)
Hope this is the info you were interested in.
Bitsy

Hi, Does anyone have info on Capt. Elisha Bangs (shipmaster), his wife
Sarah Foster and son Elisha Dillingham Foster c. 1880? My Mother had, in her
files, an ad from New Jersey newspaper showing picture of the Capt. and
another picture of wife and child, identifying them as
above. Don't know why child would not be Bangs, unless they mean Elisha
Dillingham Foster Bangs. ?
Thanks, Bitsy
