SARGENT FAMILY HISTORY
George Sargent and Ann Wood
By Marion Sargent
George Sargent was born on 29 March 1774 at Hastings, Sussex, England. According to family legend Ann Wood (1776-1857) was a cook at a large house, possibly Ashburnham Place, which is located a few miles west of Battle, famous for the Battle of Hastings in 1066. When Ann supposedly became pregnant to the master of the house she married George Sargent to maintain her respectability.
But this story has been thrown into some doubt according to new information that has come to hand from a cousin in New Zealand. He confirms that George and Ann were married on 18 January 1798 and that their first child Ann was born 10 months later. It is George's parentage which is in some doubt. His mother was Elizabeth Williams (born 1753), but was his father really Stephen Sargent R.N. of H.M.S. Mars?
Apparently George had a sister Elizabeth Sargent born in Hastings in 1780. She married Daniel Paine of Deptford and they had five children - Elizabeth, Mary, Daniel, Susanna and Anne.
George was a draper or clothier. He had a shop at 51 High Street, Battle. His son Joseph took over the business when he retired.
It seems that the marriage was a successful one; George and Ann had ten children. According to Emma Mary Byles in her Family Notes written in 1926 "they were all handsome, and all clever in different ways. One ... was very musical; another drew and painted and also dabbled in astrology; another was a preacher; and yet another a lawyer." My ancestor, George Eliel, was a writer. The lawyer was Ebenezer. George died in Priory Road, Hastings, on 26 November 1861. Ann died a few years earlier on 18 April 1857.
Their daughter Myra lived with her parents until she died just three months before her father. The family attended the Zion Baptist Chapel in Battle.
