    [This source cites Source:Dudley, Dean. History and Genealogy of the Bangs Family in America in support of the 1690 marriage date, but notes that Source:Mayo-Rodwick, Jean. Rev. John Mayo and His Descendants (1015325) says 1687. In both cases, these dates are one year before their respective dates for the birth of son Joshua. Source:Preble, George Henry. Genealogical Sketch of the First Three Generations of Prebles in America, p. 58, says that the gravestone at Eastern Cemetery at Portland says, "Here lies the body of Mr. Joshua Bangs, died May 23d, 1762, in the 71st year of his age", which favors the 1691 birth and 1690 marriage.]
