    November 1699 in Reading, Middlesex, MA. He married HANNAH SARGENT(SARGEANT) 1649 in Reading, Middlesex, MA.
    She was born Abt. 13 Juli 1629 in All Saints, Northamptonshire,England,and died 15 Dezember 1717 in Reading, MA.

    " HENRY FELCH was born about 1610, in Pembrokeshire, Wales, England, andcame to America accompanied by his parents. He was a proprietor atGloucester, settled for a time in Watertown, then removed to Reading in1647, where he immediately became a prominent citizen, being a selectmanin 1647, 48, 51, and 81; surveyor of highways 1648.

"



    Henry Felch Jr. was probably born in Wales, about the year 1610, andundoubtedly emigrated to this country about 1640. The earliet account ofhim tells of his residence in Reading in 1647, but he was probably thereearlier. Mr Savage, and many others confound the father and son, butthere is no evidence recorded, or transmitted to indicate that the fatherever lived in Reading, or the son in Gloucester or Boston. We are almostpositive that Henry Jr. lived in Reading from the birth of his oldest sonin 1650 to his own death in 1699. There is one fact that seems tocontradict this opinion: the fact that the names and dates of birth ofthe first five children of Henry Jr. appear both on the Boston andReading records, excepting Joseph whose date of birth is on neitherrecord. But this may be accounted for the fact that Suffolk County onceembraced Reading and contiguos towns.

    HANNAH FELCH, b. Aug. 3, 1692, Reading, Massachusetts. 224 MarriedTHOMAS CLAPP IV Jan. 4, 1715, Weston, Massachusetts. His son John wasappointed administrator and " he made oath that the within in writtencontains a true Inventory of ye estate of his father Henry Felch ofReading, husbandman. "

    King of England 'c Annoq' Dni 1639.

    REV. WILLIAM SARGENT is our Emigrant Ancestor. He came from All Saints, Northampton,
    England, with two daughters and his third wife, to Charlestown, Massachusetts, where he was
    admitted to the Church 10 March 1638/9.

    He was grandson of HUGH SARGENT, of Courteenhall, Northamptonshire, England and
    MARGARET GIFFORD, SARGENT. Registers of the Parish of All Saints, Northampton, under
    baptisms, give; "1602 WILLIAM son of ROGER SERGEANT 20 June. " "1629 HANNA daughter
    of WILLIAM SARGENT, haberdasher, and his wife HANNA 13 July. "

    Very extensive data is published in volumes 71, 74, 75, of The New England Historical and
    Genealogical Register, under their 'Genealogical Research in England'. which provides
    exceptionally complete lineages back to the time of WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR, and thru the
    GIFFORD marriage traces to the Scottish house of KENNETH MCALPIN, and the royal Saxon
    line of EGBERT

    1The Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans: Volume IV
    Baptized at Northampton, Northamptonshire, on 20 June 1602, William Sargent died at Barnstable, 16 December 1682. His first wife Hannah _____died in England, as did probably his second wife Mary _____. He was last recorded in England on 22 January 1636/37 (baptism of a daughter) and first recorded in New England at Charlestown, where he and his third wife Sarah were admitted as church members 10 March 1638/39. An entry in Lechford's Notebook, p. 224, gives a certificate by Governor Winthrop regarding William Sargent of Charlestown, a haberdasher of hats, from Northampton, England, and his wife Sarah, widow of William Minshall of Whitchurch, County Salop. Sargent moved first to Malden, and then, ca.1656 or 1657, to Barnstable. He was made a Bay freeman in 1639 and was a lay preacher in Malden and Barnstable. G. Andrews Moriarty gives documentary evidence in a series of articles in NEHGR 74:231, 267, 75:57,129, 79:358, tracing William Sargent's line back to English royalty.

    Plymouth Colony: Its History and People 1620-1691
    Sargent almost always appears in the records with the title " Mr. " On 1 June 1658 he was made a freeman by the Plymouth General Court (PCR3:137). A fairly good, but mostly undocumented, family history is Aaron Sargent, Sargent Genealogy (Somerville, Mass., 1895)—some errors in the early generations have been corrected by the Moriarty articles. This book also transcribes William Sargent's will.

    His children by his first wife were

    Elizabeth (died young),
    Hannah (married Henry Felch of Reading, Mass.),
    Elizabeth (married [1] David Nichols of Boston and [2] Thomas Bill of Boston), and
    Mary (died young).

    By his second wife, Sargent had Sarah and Mary, both of whom probably died young.

    By his third wife he had
    John (married [1] Deborah Hillier of Barnstable and [2] Lydia Chipman, daughter of John and Hope [Howland] Chipman, and granddaughter of Mayflower passenger John Howland);
    Ruth (married [1] Jonathan Winslow, son of Josiah and nephew of Gov. Edward Winslow, [2] Richard Bourne of Sandwich, q.v., and [3] John Chipman [after the death of his wife Hope]; and
    Samuel (died unmarried).

    Sargent has many descendants living today.
