Marriage Notes (Captain Elisha Bangs)
" Elisha Bangs, born in 1804, was a son of Elkanah and Sally Bangs. He followed the sea from 1818 until 1849, twenty-seven years as master mariner. From 1849 until his death in 1886 he lived retired at his home in Brewster, where his widow and daughter now reside. Mr. Bangs married Sarah H., daughter of Freeman and Mehitabel (Low) Foster. They had five children, three of whom are living: Elisha D., Herbert H. and Loella F." - Deyo (1890), p 912-913
Captain Elisha Bangs is buried, together with his three wives, his parents, an older brother and four of his five children, in the Lower Road cemetery in Brewster. His oldest son Elisha Dillingham Bangs, the infant shown with his mother in the portrait of Sarah H. Bangs, attended Harvard, became a banker and settled in Winchester, MA. He inherited the portraits of his parents which remained in his family until the 1970s.
[Sarah,] the daughter of Freeman and Mehitable (Low or Lowe) Foster of Brewster, married Captain Elisha Bangs in 1842 as his third wife: his first two wives, Martha Crocker and Olive Snow, died young and left no children.
The third Mrs. Bangs gave birth to a daughter in 1843, less than a year after her marriage to Captain Elisha, but the baby lived only seven months. Her second child, a son named Elisha Dillingham Bangs, was born on September 29, 1844 just nine months after the death of the first and is portrayed here in his mother's lap when he is clearly less than a year old, dating this portrait to the first half of 1845. Another son, William H., born in 1846 lived only two years--dying of "congestion of the brain"--but Herbert H., born in 1849 and Louella F., born in 1852, all survived to adulthood and beyond, as did their older brother Elisha D. 23
