The surname Sargon or SARGENT Sargent, spelled in a variety of ways is very ancient. Sargon was the King of Babylon four thous- and years before Christ. Another Sargon or Sargian was King of Assyria in B. C. 722 and this name is found with but slight variations in Persia, Gaul, Holland, the Netherlands and Great Britain. Whether the English Sargents really have any connection with the oriental family name is of course not proved, but the . evidence is enough to make a theory interest- ing. The name has been common in Boston, Lincolnshire, and at Norton, Bury St. Ed- munds, Suffolkshire, England, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The most common coat-of-arms of the English family is : Argent, a chevron between three dolphins naiant em- bowed, sable. This coat-of-arms is very simi- lar to that carried by Peter Sargent who came to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1669.
(I) William Sargent, the immigrant ances- tor, was born in England, about 1600. The latest investigation points to the probability that he was the William Sargent who was bap- tized in the Abbey Church, Bath, England, June 28, 1606, son of Richard and Katherine (Stevens) Sargent. There is a tradition that William was born in 1602. As the father-in- law of Sargent, Quartermaster John Perkins, came from Bath, it is probable that this record belongs to the immigrant, William Sargent, of Salisbury, Massachusetts. He was one of the first settlers of Agawam, Massachusetts, later called Ipswich, April, 1633, or earlier. He was admitted a freeman, May 2, 1638. He became one of the first settlers of Wessacucon, now Newbury, in 1635, at Winnacumet, now Hampton, New Hampshire, in 1638, Sep- tember 6; and finally at South Merrimac,
now Salisbury, Massachusetts, 1639. He was living at Newbury, however, in 1652, and at Amesbury, of which
he was one of the founders, and Salisbury, in 1655, where he resided until his death in 1675.
He married, about 1633, Elizabeth Perkins, who was born at Newent, Gloucestershire, England, in 1618, daughter of John Perkins. He married (second) Joanna Rowell, widow of Valentine Rowell, who survived him also and married (third) October 26, 1676, Rich- ard Currier. Sargent was one of the Pru- dential Men in Amesbury in 1667 ; he resided in the part of town known as the West Parish and built a house near the church and acad- emy. He died March, 1675, and was buried in
the graveyard at the Ferry. His will was dated March 24, 1670-I, and proved April 13, 1675. Children : I. Mary, born about 1634, married Philip Challis, of Amesbury. 2.
