From Wikipedia:

Sargent was one of the largest landholders in Gloucester. He served as a colonel of militia before the Revolutionary War and was a justice of the general session court for more than thirty years.

In 1744, he was Gloucester's representative in the General Court of Massachusetts.

In 1760, two years before his death, he had his portrait painted by John Singleton Copley. It's now in the National Gallery in Washington, DC.

Epes married Esther Maccarty on 1 Apr 1720 in Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts. Esther (daughter of Florence Maccarty and Sarah Nework) was born on 21 Jul 1701 in Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts; died on 1 Jul 1743 in Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He should not be confused with the William Sargent of Gloucester who died there in 1716 or 1717 and who is an ancestor of DK, although it would seem plausible that they were in some way related.

A third nearby William Sargent was the one who died in 1674 or 1675 in Amesbury, about 25 miles from Gloucester, an ancestor of LDN.

William married Mary Duncan on 21 Jun 1678 in Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts. Mary (daughter of Peter Duncan and Mary Epes) was born before 12 Nov 1659 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts; was christened on 12 Nov 1659 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts; died on 28 Feb 1725 in Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He was a prominent merchant in Boston, Roxbury, and Salem whose name, under an extravagant variety of spellings, appears in many records from 1686 on. Among his enterprises appears to have been one or more slaughterhouses. He was also one of the founders of the first society for Episcopal worship in Boston. Nothing is known of his parents, but he is believe to have come from Ireland.

Florence married Sarah Nework on 24 Aug 1697. Sarah died before 1706. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: of Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts
• Alternate birth: Bef 10 Sep 1629, Exeter, Devon, England

Peter married Mary Epes before 1655. Mary (daughter of Daniel Epes and Martha Reade) was born before 8 Oct 1629; was christened on 8 Oct 1629 in St. Olave, Hart Street, London, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He was a merchant. An educated man, fluent in Latin and French and a skilled accountant, he was many times a deputy to the Bay Colony general court, and auditor general of the colony from 1645 to his death.

Savage and Pope have him emigrating in 1630, but Anderson notes that records of his presence in New England begin only in 1633, and argues that "it is hard to believe that a man of his prominence would not have been seen in colony records much earlier." Anderson believes Nathaniel Duncan was probably on the ship that arrived 24 Jul 1633, the name of which has been lost.

Nathaniel married Elizabeth Jourdain on 6 Jan 1616 in St. Mary Arches, Exeter, Devon, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Also spelled Eppes. He was a member of the Artillery Company of London.

The ancestry shown for him here is substantially from RD900, and may not be right. John Epes and Thomasine Fisher were definitely the parents of the immigrant Francis Epes of Virginia, but it's unclear to us whether they have been proven as the parents of this Daniel Epes.

Daniel married Martha Reade. Martha (daughter of Edmund Reade and Elizabeth Cooke) was born on 13 Jul 1602 in North Benfleet, Essex, England; was christened on 22 Jul 1602 in North Benfleet, Essex, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She married, secondly (after 1636), Samuel Symonds of Topsfield, Essex, with whom she emigrated to New England in 1637. He was later deputy governor of the Bay Colony.

Notes:

B.A. at Oxford, 1574; M.A. in 1576. Rector of Ledord, Devon 1580-83; Vicar of Crediton, Devon 1583 to his death; also Rector of Kenn, Devon to his death.

From Wikipedia:

Ignatius Jordain was an English merchant and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1621 and 1629.

Jordain was born at Lyme Regis, the son of William Jordain and his wife Elizabeth Ryder. He was baptised at Lyme Regis on 17 August 1561. When he was young he was sent by his friends to Exeter, to be brought up as merchant. In 1576, his employer sent him to Guernsey, where he was converted to puritanism. In 1599 he was appointed bailiff of Exeter. He became a member of the corporation in 1608 and was receiver of Exeter in 1610 and Sheriff of Exeter in 1611. In 1617 he became mayor of Exeter. He was also J.P. for 24 years. In 1621, he was elected Member of Parliament for Exeter. He was deputy mayor in 1624 when all the magistrates fled the city because of the plague. He was re-elected MP for Exeter in 1625, 1626 and 1628 and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years. In parliament, Jourdain succeeded in having bills passed penalising adultery, Sabbath-breaking and swearing.

Jordain was a devout puritan. He was said to have read the Bible at least 20 times and Acts and Monuments seven times. He attempted to introduce temperance legislation and was considered the scourge of the alehouses in Exeter. When the proclamation regarding rebellious practices in Scotland was read in Exeter Cathedral in 1639, he was one of three men who put their hats on in protest. Jordain was also indifferent to worldly wealth and proud of his humble origins. He claimed "I came, but with a six-pence in my purse to this city; if I had had a shilling in my purse, I had never been mayor of Exeter." He dismissed threats of lawsuits that would leave him with a groat by saying that would be only two pence less than he had when he arrived in the city.

Ignatius married Elizabeth Baskerville on 5 Aug 1593. Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas Baskerville and (Unknown) Perry) died before 18 Oct 1649 in Exeter, Devon, England; was buried on 18 Oct 1649 in Exeter, Devon, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her brother Sir Simon Baskerville, of London, was a physician to James I and Charles I, and was knighted by the latter.
