Impeccable records from you, always. I have never seen the surname "Bangs" in putting together my 1200 person family tree originating in South Carolina.
ReplyDeleteHa! I thought that Hawthorne had invented the name "Chillingsworth" for his novel, The Scarlet Letter. But here it appears in your genealogy!
