name to find a home in this country as far as any records show. He came to America in
1633 and settled in Ipswich, Mass. In April of that year William Sargent is named in an
act protecting various grantees of land then at Agawam, now Ipswich. The next record
of this Sargent is that of his oath of allegiance in 1639. He married in 1633 Elizabeth,
daughter of John Perkins and Judith Gater.He married in 1633 Elizabeth, daughter of John Perkins and Judith Gater.
