| Notes |
- From "Sargent Genealogy" Aaron Sargent 1891:
"William Sargent, the ancestor of the family in America, came from Northhampton, in England, to Charlestown, in New England, with his third wife, Sarah, and two daughters by his forst wife, in the year 1638.
The plantation at Salem had been begun in 1628 by John Endicott and others, who came over from England to make preparations for the settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Several persons by his permission travelled in a westerly direction about twelve miles through the woods, and came to a neck of land between the Charles and Mystic Rivers, called by the natives Mishawum, which was 'full of Indians of the Aberginian tribe.' Having obtained consent of the Sagamore, they settled ther and agreed to call the new settlement "Charlestown." As early as 1629 Ralph Sprague and others, living in Charlestown, crossed the river to explore the country, and found an 'uncouth wilderness,' inhabited by the Pawtucket Indians. A settlement was afterwards made at "Mystic Side" -- that is, on the north side of Mystic River -- as part of Charlestown; and William Sargent and his family made their domicile there. He was admitted to the Church in Charlestown, March 10, 1638/39; and his wife was admitted the following Sunday. He was made a freeman of Massachesetts Bay Colony the same year.
...In 1649 a new town was set off from Charlestown, on Mystic Side, as a separate town, and named Malden, probably from Malden, in Essex County, England...William Sargent was lay preacher there (from 1648 to 1650)....
William Sargent removed to Barnstable probably in 1656 or 1657; for he was in Malden in August, 1655, and in Barstable the '29th of the 4th month 1658," as appears by a power of attorney given by him to Joseph Hills; and he was made a freeman of Plymouth Colony in 1657. He was a preacher in Barnstable."
