1 Lemuel Bangs wrote, in 1813: "According to my father's account, my great-grandfather came from the Isle of Man. My grandfather's name was Samuel. My father's name was Joseph, of the town of Harwich in the County of Barnstable on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He died in Phillips' Patent, in the State of New York, in 1757." This, with the fact that Lemuel Bangs, at his death, 9 May 1824, was "aged more than 84," and so must have been born some time before May 1740, seems to identify him as having the following ancestry, which we take from a pedigree of Bangs, in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, VIII. 369:

logical Dictionary shows that he died in 1677, and that his will, dated 19 Oct. 1677, was proved |
5 March 1678; also, that he "m. after 1627, as is presum., Lydia, d. of Robert Hicks." |
