Rebecca Bangs
Rebecca was the second wife of Edward Bangs, who came to Plymouth in the Anne in 1623 and later oversaw the building of the colony's first ship. Her maiden name is not known. Robert Charles Anderson's Great Migration Begins puts the marriage by about 1635.
Edward's first wife, Lydia Hicks, had died within a year or two of their marriage, leaving one son, John. By Anderson's arrangement every later child was Rebecca's. They were Rebecca, born about 1636, who married Jonathan Sparrow at Eastham in 1654; Sarah, born about 1638, who married Thomas Howes of Yarmouth; Jonathan, born in 1640; Hannah; Lydia; Joshua; Bethia, born in 1650; and the twins Mercy and Apphia, born at Eastham on 15 October 1651. Frederick Freeman's History of Cape Cod says all ten of Edward's children lived to grow up.
The family moved from Plymouth to Eastham, on Cape Cod, in 1644, when a group of Plymouth men settled the new town. Edward traded and sat several years as a deputy at the colony court.
The one record that names her is a deed. In a deed of 22 June 1651, Edward Bangs was joined by his wife Rebecca. A wife usually joined her husband's deed to give up her dower, the share of his land she would otherwise hold for life as his widow. Four months later she gave birth to the twins.
Her death is not recorded. Edward died at Eastham in the winter of 1677/8, aged eighty six. Freeman's History of Cape Cod, in 1858, gave Edward's wife the name Rebecca.
