Notes about Hugh Sargent , of Courteenhall

Hugh Sargent (Sariant), the earliest known ancestor of the family, livedin Courteeenhall, Northampton. Courteenhall was the inheritance of theWake family, which traces its descent back to Hereward the Wake, to atime anterior to the Norman Conquest. It is five and quarter milessourtherly from the town of Northampton, and in 1831 contained 144inhabitants. The church is dedicated to St Peter and St Paul.

Prefixed to the first volume of the parish register, which begins in theyear 1538, and folded to its size, is a large piece of parchment, onwhich is very neatly transcribed many pedigrees. One of them is of thefamily of Sargent. There can be no doubt that this piece of work, whichis both most useful and rare, was written by a former rector, who had atfirst hand the facts which he recorded. The recotr of the church, Rev.Archibald Wake (1895), says, "the parchment shaws that the family were inCourteenhall in 1554, and were of gentle blood; and possibly the Sargentswere in the parish before a Wake entered it."

Margaret, wife of Hugh Sargent, was daughter of Nicholas and Agnes(Masters) Gifford, of the Abbey of St James, which was a western suburbof tghe town of Northampton. This abbey was a religious estate ofconsiderable note, founded before the year 1112, by William Peverel,natural sone of William the Conqueror, and to which he (Peverel) gave 40acres of land. It is called St James End.

Hugh fathered 15 children between 1556 and 1579.
