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 Source for the above: Bacon and Allied Families #71 http://www.familytreemaker.com/_glc_/1869/1869_129.html 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.

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.
