To Adrianne (Kee46@email.msn.com) and anyone else researching SARGENT in Crawford County: Here is the information I found on them in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 652, in the section dealing with the history of Spring Township: "Aetna Lodge, No. 93, A.O.U.W., was instituted November 8, 1875, with twenty-four members and the following officers: M.W. Oliver, Jr., P.M.W.; O.F. McLaughlin, M.W.; M.E. Hall, G.F.; Hiram Morrell, O.; H.B. Burnside, Recorder; L.E. Phelps, Financier; E.E. Eighmy, Receiver; C.M. SARGENT, G.; P.W. Reed, I.W.; C.D. Marlow, O.W. Monday evening is the time of the meeting. Membership is forty." On page 808, in the Biographical Sketch section for Cambridge Township: "Alonzo Herrick, farmer, P.O. Cambridgeboro, was born in Berkshire County, Mass., June 2, 1818, son of Ezra and Nancy (Ward) Herrick, who in 1836 settled on the farm in Cambridge Township now owned by O.E. Kinglsey, which they cleared and improved. They subsequently moved to Cranesville, Erie Co., Penn., and there died. They were parents of eight children, viz.: Almira (deceased), wife of James SARGENT, of Massachusetts; William, residing in Erie County, Penn., was married twice, his first wife being Betsy Robbins, his second Angeline Durham; Alonzo, our subject; Eunice, wife of Darius Rockwell, in Cambridge Township, this county; Nathan, married to Julia Goodenough, in Cranesville; Olive, wife of Harvey Hilliger, in Wisconsin; Nancy; Phineas, married to Martha Hotchkiss, in Michigan. Our subject was married April 23, 1845, to Eliza A., daughter of Ira and Amret (Cass) Nichols, formerly of Massachusetts, who located in Waterford Township, Erie Co., Penn., in 1831, and in 1835 removed to Rockdale, now Cambridge Township, this county, settling on the farm now occupied by our subject, with whom Mr. Nichols, now in her ninety-fourth year, is living. To Mr. and Mrs. Herrick were born eight children: Nancy A.; Sarah M., wife of John Anderson, of Topeka, Kan.; George C., married to Lizzie Culbertson, Edinboro, Penn.; Norton J., married to Flora Culbertson, Cambridgeboro; Alice E.; Joseph M., married to Blanche Burchfield, in Edinboro, Penn.; Myra; and Willie C. Mr. Herrick and wife are adherents of the Methodist Church. He is a member of the G.A.R. In politics he is a Republican." Those were the only mentions of SARGENT in the book!
