    Notes 
    • BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations.
      MAR #1: No mar rec found. Children of William and Elizabeth Sargent were recorded in Salisbury, Mass., 1643-52 (VITAL RECORDS OF SALISBURY [Topsfield, MA, 1915], 213-14 [FHL #974.45/S3 V2t]). Elizabeth Sargent is identified in the will of her father, John Perkins of Ipswich, 28 Mar 1654, proved 26 Sep 1654 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:190-91 [FHL #975.45 P2p]).
      MAR #2: VITAL RECORDS OF AMESBURY (Topsfield, MA, 1913), 476 (FHL #974.45/A1 V2a). Joanna was the widow of Valentine Rowell who died at Salisbury, 17 May 1662. In 1672 William Sargent and his wife Joanna, "late wife of Valentine Rowell and administratrix of his estate," sued Christopher Osgood for a legacy due to the children of Valentine Rowell (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 5:20 [FHL #974.45 P2e]). Valentine Rowell married Joanna Pinder at Salisbury, 14 Nov 1643 (VITAL RECORDS OF SALISBURY, 472 [FHL #974.45/S3 V2t]).
      DEATH: No death rec found. See the will of William Sargent of Amesbury, 24 Mar 1670/1, proved 13 Apr 1675, inv 8 Apr 1675 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 2:438-441).
      OCC: Seaman
      NOTE: William may have 1st married a sister of Theophilus Shatswell of Haverhill, who mentioned "my brother" William Sargent and "my kinsman" Philip Challis in his will, 20 Jun 1663-13 Oct 1663 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 1:424-25). Philip Challis was the son-in-law of William Sargent. Theophilus Shatswell supposedly married Susannah Bosworth, but this is not proved. If this is true, William Sargent probably married a sister of Theophilus Shatswell, possibly Sybil. Theophilus is one of the children of Judith Shatwell, widow of Sibbertoft, Nhants. All of Judith's children are mentioned in the Chancery suit, Curwin v. Smith, 22 Nov 1627 (Chancery Proceedings, Charles I, cc 15, n. 56, quoted verbatim in David A. Macdonald, "A New Look at the Corwin and Shatswell Families," NEHGR, 150[1996]:185-89 [FHL #974 B2ne]). Of the children listed in the suit, only Sybil is not accounted for among the daughters. The name Sybil, however, does not appear among the children of William Sargent.
