Richard BANCKS was born in 1607 in Alkham Parish,
England. He died on 25 Jan 1692 in York, ME. The English
ancestors of Richard Bancks, in spite of much research by many people, including
Dr. Charles Banks, the Maine Historian, are still in considerable doubt. The
difficulty would not appear to be a lack of information about the Bancks family
but, rather, the impossibility of determining which of the Richards came to America.
Frederick Lewis Weis, the well-known Genealogist, in tracing the Tillinghast
family gives the following: "Thomas Banckes, merchant and Alderman of London.
His daughter Joan Banckes married Robert Tichborne. Their daughter, Elizabeth,
married Pardon Tillinghast, Jr.". It is quite possible that Thomas had other
children besides Joan, but since Mr. Weis was only interested in the Tillinghast
family as she is the only one mentioned in this instance.
Several Genealogists, including William E. Chute, have pointed out another possibility:
some even considering it proven. Dr. Banks was not entirely in agreement with
this conjecture as the records he found did not indicate what happened to this
particular Richard. Dr. Banks found: "John Bancks, who made his will in
London, England, circa 1630, mentioned the children of his Uncle William Banks
(wife unknown) as William, Richard (possibly our immigrant ancestor), Thomas,
George, and Mary".
Dr. Banks was sure that he had identified Richard as living in the parish of
Alkham, County Kent, since he came to America with his brother-in-law, Thomas
Curtis, and with Abraham Preble and John Twisden, Senior, both of the same vicinity.
It is not out of the bounds of possibility that his first move might have been
from London to Alkham, and he may have been the same man mentioned as the son
of William.
At the time of his marriage in England, Richard was listed as a tailor. Just
prior to his migration there had been an epidemic in which many people died.
There was also trouble in the textile industry. Being a widower, with all three
of his children dead, it is not surprising that he decided to seek a new life
far from the scene of his misfortunes.
Richard, the immigrant ancestor of this genealogy, came to America and settled
at Scituate, in the Plymouth Colony. He took the Oath of Fidelity, in Scituate,
circa 1642.
Theodore Leslie Banks (TLB) notes that Richard returned to England briefly to
marry Elizabeth Curtis. TLB notes that: "In 1641 Oliver Cromwell was called
upon to savagely subdue a bitter Irish rebellion. In 1642 civil war erupted in
England, with Cromwell leading the rebellion against Charles I. In 1644, when
Richard returned to England to marry Elizabeth Curtis, the civil war between
Cromwell's party and the King's loyalists was in full swing".
Richard was sent out from Scituate to organize and lay out townships in what
is now the state of Maine. He settled at York which was originally called Agamenticus,
on a grant which was given Sir Fernandez Georges in 1622, and he named it the
"City of Georgeana". Thomas Gorges was its first mayor. In 1652 Massachusetts
gained control and changed the name to York.
Richard had twenty acres of land laid out to him and signed submission to Massachusetts
at the dwelling house of Nicholas Davis at York, on 22 November 1652. Roland
Young, the ancestor of the Young family of Annapolis, Nova Scotia, signed this
paper at the same place and date.
Mr. Banks was Assistant at the Court in 1652; Selectman for 7 years; juror 12
times; a Trial Justice; Court Appraiser; Tax Commissioner; and Overseer of the
County Prison.
Theodore Leslie Banks notes that: "In 1655, when Richard married his third
wife, Cromwell was in his second year a Lord Protector of England, and that Charles
I had been beheaded 6 years previously".
In 1673, Richard Banks, along with Edward Richworth, was a joint signer of a
letter to the churches that invited deligates to a council to select the Rev.
Shubael Dummer as pastor of York. This was the first church gathered in Maine
and Rev. Dummer was the first settled minister. Rev. Dummer, a brother-in-law
to Richard Banks, was shot, and killed, at his own door by Indians in Massacre
of 1692.
Richard was killed York Raid of 1692 when Indians and French raided, killing
48 and capturing 70 others. This raid was but one of a continuing series of raids
and counterraids. There is no mention of his sons Samuel and Job after that date
so they may have likewise perished. His widow and two remaining sons made an
agreement, on 22 April 1696, for the division of his estate (see "History
of the Indian Wars of New England" by Sylvester (Vols.2,pp.462-465)).
[Notes from Eleanor Banks Vines]
Richard Bankes in his day and generation lived the life of an average man, assuming
his share of the burdens and responsibilities of office as a citizen. It will
be only necessary to group those public functions which he performed; - Provincial
Councillor 1651, 1652, under the administration of Governor Edward Godfrey; Selectman,
1653, 1654, 1656, 1659, 1676, 1679, 1680; Juror, 1649, 1653, 1655, 1656, 1658,
1661, 1662, 1664, 1665, 1666, 1671; Trail Justice or "Commisioner,"
1669, 1672, 1679; Court Appraiser, 1659, 1663, 1671, 1676, 1679, 1681, 1686,
1691, besides several other special appointment, as Tax COmmissioner 1652, Overseer
of County Prison, 1673. He became a Freeman of Massachusetts at the time of the
usurpation proceedings 1652, and in 1681 appears in a list of inhabitants swearing
allegiance to the King. He figures once in Court (1654) as a defendant in a suit
of respass, involving the title to some marsh land in York, and was defeated
and muleted for cost of the suit. In 1673, with Edward Rishworth, he was the
joint signer of a letter to the Churches inviting delegates to a council to settle
the Rev. Shubaal Dummer, H.C., 1656 (his brother-in-law, they having married
sisters) as pastor of the CHurch at York. His last public act was an appraiser,
3 April, 1691. The date of his death is not positively known, except that it
occured in 1692; and as that was the year of the terrible Indian Massacre, January
25, 1691-92, when 137 inhabitants of York were either killed or carried captive
to Canada by the savages, his pastor and and relative being among the dead, it
is extremely probable that he met his fate also in that tragedy which sent such
a shudder throughout New England.
[More notes from Eleanor Banks Vines]
In our family, the original immigrant was Richard Banks, who came to Scituate,
Massachusetts, and moved before the summer of 1643 to York, Maine.
He was born in Alkam Parish, Enland, and married Elizabeth Alcocke of York.
Richard died in 1692, the year of the terrible indian raids and massacre that
nearly destroyed the York settlement, and left 137 dead or taken captive into
Canada. It is probable that he was among the victims. Elizabeth survived him
several years. They had four sons - John, married Elizabeth Turbat, Joseph, Samuel
and Job.
[Still more notes from Eleanor Banks Vines]
Richard Bankes, the emigrant ancestor of this family in Maine, was an early settler
of Agamenticus (York), undoubtedly before the summer of 1643, living in that
part of the town known as "Scituate," the other division being designated
"Scotland." These local names are probably derived from the previous
residence of the people who settled there, and in the case of Richard Bankes,
it appears that in company with Abraham Preble and Thomas Curtis, at sometime
prior to his settlement in Maine, he took the oath of fidelity at Scituate, Mass.
With one of these fellow emigrants, for such I judge them to be, he appears in
Georgiana (York), purchasing in partnership, July 19, 1645, with Abraham Preble,
John Tivisden, his brother-in-law, and Thomas Curtis; and November 20th of the
same year, tracts of land of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, The Lord Proprietor, and
of William Hooke, one of the patentees. Finding no evidence of the residence
of Richard Bankes in Scituate, I assume that the record of his oath of fidelity
in that town is merely the result of a temporary sojurn there, perhaps among
friends, before he chose his final home in New England; and it is of interest
to note in this connection that his companion Abraham Preble married Judith Tilden
of Scituate, daughter of the emigrant Nathaniel, and that an Elizabeth Bankes,
who may have been a sister of Richard, married William Blackmore of Scituate
in 1666, and for her second husband Jacom Bumpers of the same place. This seems
to explain the local origin of the name "Scituate" as a section of
the old town of York, Maine.
Richard Banks, the immigrant ancestor of this family, came to America and settled
at Scituate, in Plymouth Colony. He may be the nephew Richard, son of William,
mentioned in the will of John Banckes, of London, 1630. He was afterward sent
to lay out and organize new townships in what is now Maine, settled in York County
in that province, and held several important public offices there. He married
Elizabeth, daughter of John and Elizabeth Alcocke, of York. From them through
John, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Peter Turbat, Moses, who married Ruth,
daughter of Elias and Magdalen Weare, came Joshua, born September 13, 1713, married
September 18, 1737, Mary Muchmore, who, with all his family, came to Annapolis
County in 1760. His son Moses, on his marriage, settled in Wilmot, and Joshua
followed him some years later.
