General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Sargent

---

The early ancestor in America of the Sargent family was one William Sargent, the first record of whom appears in the general court records of Massachusetts in 1633. There an act of court was passed protecting certain grantees of land then at Agawam, now Ipswich, in their rights, and William Sargent was one of them. The court records also show that in 1639 he took the oath of allegiance and fidelity to the colony of Massachusetts. The Sargent family numbers among its members many of the most noted men in our history, they being all descended from the common ancestor, William Sargent.

Elijah Sargent was the sixth in line from William.
