Biography

Jonathan Sargeant, the son of William and Susana (Harraden) Sargeant, was baptized in the Third Parish, at Annisquam of Gloucester on June 22, 1735.^[1] Alternately, Jonathan Sargeant, the son of William and Susana (Harraden) Sargeant, was baptized in Gloucester on Nov. 16, 1735. ^[2] Since the same parents did not have a second child of the same name 5 months after the first, it is reasonable to suppose that this birth/baptism was double recorded.

Jonathan married Lydia Lane (1735-1774) on 7 December 1757, in Gloucester, Massachusetts.^[3]

They had the following children:

1. Betty, d. Jonathan and Lydia, bp. Dec. 31, 1758

3. Lydia, d. Jonathan and Lydia, bp. Aug. 31, 1767.

5. Anna, d. Jonathan and Lydia, Oct. 11, 1770. [bp. Sept. 16.]
6. Peter, s. Jonathan and Lydia, June 19, 177–. [bp. Apr. ––, 1774
