• [EXPLANATORY NOTE.--The parish registers of Courteenhall, co. Northampton, begin in 1538. In the back of the first volume a parchment chart has been pasted, on which the pedigrees of many Courteenhall families, including the Sargent family, have been written. These prdigrees were probably entered by the vicar of the paris, the handwriting and ink showing that the work was done about 1590. The vicar evidently asked the various families in the parish for information
• Pg.58
• about the events in their histories that had occurred outside the parish of Courteenhall, and thus he secured for the chart the records of the older children of Hugh Sargent, who were born probably before the Sargent family moved to Courteenhall. The first Sargent entry in the Courteenhall registers is the record of the baptism of George, son of Mr. Hugh Sargent, Gent., 2 Apr. 1573. Later the vicar added records of some of the children of Roger Sargent, son of Hugh, which show that Roger Sargent of Courteenhall was identical with the Roger Sargent who family records are found in the registers of the parish of All Saints, Northampton(*) Below are give the statements about the Sargent family found on the parchment chart, and discrepancies between the statements of the chart and the entries in the parish registers proper are indicated in footnotes.]

• Hugh Sargent (Sariant), the earliest known ancestor of the family, lived in Courteenhall, County of Northampton. Courteenhall was the inheritance of the Wake family, which traces its descent back to Hereward the Wake, to a time anterior to the Norman Conquest. It is five and a quarter miles southerly from the town of Northampton, and in 1831 contained one hundred and forty-four inhabitants. The church is dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
• Prefixed to the first volume of the parish register, which begins in the year 1538, and folded to its size, is a large piece of parchment, on which is very neatly transcribed many pedigrees. One of them is of the family of Sargent. There can be no doubt that this piece of work, which is both most useful and rare, was written by a former rector, who had at first hand the facts which he recorded.
• The rector of the church, Rev. Archibald Wake (1895), says, "The parchment shows that the family were in Courteenhall in 1554, and were of gentle blood; and possibly the Sargents were 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 suburb of the town of Northampton. (See "Gifford Pedigree.") This abbey was a religious estate of considerable note, founded before the year 1112, by William Peverel, natural son of William

• the Conqueror, and to which he (Peverel) gave forty acres of land. It is called St. James End.
• Hugh Sargent must have been born about the year 1530. He died Feb. 23, 1595/6, (buried 1st of March).
• That he heeded the Scripture injunction, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth," is evidenced by the fact that he was the father of fifteen children, the eldest having been born in 1556, and the youngest in 1579.
• His children, in their order of birth, were : —
  • I. Elizabeth, bap. Jan. 30, 1555/6 ; m. Sept. 16, 1576, Nicholas Edwards.
  • II. Anne, ---- .
  • III. Nicholas, bap. Aug. 1, 1559; m. Nov. 27, 1593, Elizabeth, widow of John Clarke.

  • Ellen, wife of Roger Sargent, was daughter of William Makernes, of Finedon, thirteen and a half miles north-easterly from Northampton. The will of William Makernes, dated March 10, 1612,. proved March 30, 1616, names sons, Richard, Edmund, George, and William, "son-in-law Roger Seargeant," and daughter, Margery Chapman.
  • Roger Sargent (probably named for his mother's brother, Roger Gilford, or his great-grandfather of the same name) was junior bailiff in 1616 and 16 17, and mayor of Northampton in 1626. The following is a copy of his will : — .... etc.

• The family of Gifford is of high authority. They were seated at Honfleur, in Normandy, in the eighth century, — three centuries before the conquest of England by Duke William. At the battle of Hastings (1066) "Sire Rundolph de Gifford," was one of the Conqueror's standard-bearers. Walter Gifford, Earl of Buckingham, was a cousin of the Conqueror. In the reign of Henry II. (1154-89) Sir Peter Gifford married Alice, daughter of Sir Grey de Corbuchin. In the reign of Richard I. (1189-99) Sir Stephen Gifford was one of the barons accompanying the king (Richard Coeur de Lion) to the Holy Land, and was killed at the siege of Jerusalem ; and his son, Sir Stephen, was wounded there. Baron George Gifford was made Earl of Buckingham, and subsequently Duke of Buckingham. He married the Princess Maude Plantagenet, the king's cousin. George Gifford, Duke of Buckingham, son of the first George, Duke of Buckingham, was a favorite of Richard III., but being detected by him in the act of corresponding with the Earl of Richmond, afterwards Henry VII., he was attainted of high treason and beheaded by Richard's order, and his children deprived of their lands and titles, which Henry VII. found it convenient not to restore. George Gifford, son of George, Duke of Buckingham, continued the first line, and constantly solicited the crown and Parliament to restore him to his land and titles, but was always defeated. The family continued to press their claim before Parliament, but were never able to obtain a judgment.

• John Gifford was in Twyford, in Buckinghamshire, in the fifteenth century. Roger Gifford, grandson of John, leased the manor of Middle Claydon in 1535; and his heirs leased it to Martin Lister, who surrendered it to Sir Edward Verney.
• The line of descent from John Gifford to Margaret, who married Hugh Sargent, appears in the "Heralds' Visitation of Northamptonshire" in 1618-19. In the "Visitation" of 1681-82 the family is stated to be lineally descended from the ancient family of the name ; and the same arms are given as being the arms of Francis Gifford, son of Roger, who was brother of Margaret.
