Disputed Origins.

REBECCA HOBART was baptized 29 December 1611 in Hingham, Norfolk, England to Edmund & Margaret (Dewey) Hobart. She was admitted to Charlestown church 27 [blank] 1633. There is no further record of her unless she is the Rebecca who became Edward Bangs' 2nd wife.
Source: Anderson's Great Migration Begins.

Identifying her as Rebecca Hobart is not a genealogical certainty.
From Edward Bangs section:
-Comments: In a deed of 22 June 1651, Edward Bangs is joined by his wife Rebecca in selling land in Plymouth. Thus, she was certainly mother of the twins born later in 1651, and almost certainly mother of all other children except John Bangs. Citing a supposed entry in the Hobart diary, Mary Walton Ferris suggested that Rebecca was daughter of Edmund Hobart of Hingham, but this entry may not have existed, and the identity of Rebecca (_____) Bangs remains unknown [NEHGR 121:4, 56]. - New England, The Great Migration and The Great Migration Begins, 1620-1635, Vol. 1, Pg. 90 - FamilySearch Catalog
