NOTE: William may have 1st married a sister of Theophilus Shatswell of Haverhill, who mentioned "my brother" William Sargent and "my kinsman" Philip Challis in his will, 20 Jun 1663-13 Oct 1663 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 1:424-25). Philip Challis was the son-in-law of William Sargent. Theophilus Shatswell supposedly married Susannah Bosworth, but this is not proved. If this is true, William Sargent probably married a sister of Theophilus Shatswell, possibly Sybil. Theophilus is one of the children of Judith Shatwell, widow of Sibbertoft, Nhants. All of Judith's children are mentioned in the Chancery suit, Curwin v. Smith, 22 Nov 1627 (Chancery Proceedings, Charles I, cc 15, n. 56, quoted verbatim in David A. Macdonald, "A New Look at the Corwin and Shatswell Families," NEHGR, 150[1996]:185-89 [FHL #974 B2ne]). Of the children listed in the suit, only Sybil is not accounted for among the daughters. The name Sybil, however, does not appear among the children of William Sargent.
