Stephen is named after the Rev. John Sergeant (1710-1749) who was a missionary for the Native Americans of Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Stephen thinks it is possible that our two Sergeant families link up sometime prior to the 1660\u2019s, but no definitive connection has been found.\u00a0He put together a wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genealogy.com\/ftm\/n\/i\/l\/Stephen-S-Niles\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resource<\/a> that chronicles both his own family tree and our Sergeant line, listing 11 generations of the descendants of Thomas Sergeant (1661-1711). That tree includes many details concerning the descendants of Samuel George Sergeant (1768-1841) and his brother Thomas Sergeant (1771-1835), who are in our direct line of descent.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-divider-wrap  tatsu-B140yleQph   \"  ><style>.tatsu-B140yleQph .tatsu-divider{height: 2px;width: 80px;background: rgba(128,0,0,1);}.tatsu-B140yleQph.tatsu-divider-wrap{text-align: center;margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;}<\/style><hr class=\"tatsu-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-column-overlay tatsu-animate-none\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-SyZ0klemTh.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-SyZ0klemTh.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-SyZ0klemTh > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-SyZ0klemTh > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-SyZ0klemTh > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-SyZ0klemTh > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}@media only screen and (max-width:1377px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-SyZ0klemTh.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-SyZ0klemTh.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-SyZ0klemTh.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><style>.tatsu-rJA1xgQan .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;}.tatsu-rJA1xgQan .tatsu-section-offset-wrap{transform: translateY(-0px);}.tatsu-rJA1xgQan > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-rJA1xgQan > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-rJA1xgQan .tatsu-section-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-HycPqUa33 tatsu-section  tatsu-bg-overlay   tatsu-clearfix\" data-title=\"\"  data-headerscheme=\"background--dark\"><div class='tatsu-section-pad clearfix' data-padding='{\"d\":\"10px 0px 10px 0px\"}' data-padding-top='10px'><div class=\"tatsu-row-wrap  tatsu-wrap tatsu-row-one-col tatsu-row-has-one-cols tatsu-medium-gutter tatsu-reg-cols  tatsu-clearfix tatsu-B1l9D5LThh\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-row \" ><div  class=\"tatsu-column  tatsu-bg-overlay tatsu-one-col tatsu-column-image-none tatsu-column-effect-none  tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22\"  data-parallax-speed=\"0\" style=\"\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-inner \" ><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad-wrap\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-ByzcwqIa3n  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-ByzcwqIa3n.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}.tatsu-ByzcwqIa3n.tatsu-text-block-wrap{margin: 0px 0px 5px 0px;}<\/style>\n<h5>Penny Kresl<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-H1mcv5L6nn  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-H1mcv5L6nn.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}.tatsu-H1mcv5L6nn.tatsu-text-block-wrap{margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;}<\/style>\n<p>Penny Kresl is the 4th great granddaughter of Thomas Sergeant (abt 1771-1835) and has been <a href=\"https:\/\/sergeantsaga.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Penny_Kresl_2009.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">researching<\/a> our Sergeant\/Sargent families for about 30 years. Her knowledge of this family has been a tremendous help as we research further back in time. She introduced us to the research of Professor Adolphus Sage and the interviews he conducted with family members in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Penny worked with her cousin, Don Wyman, to acquire the microfilms of the baptismal records for Samuel, Thomas and Sally Sergeant. These are the only records we have to prove the parentage of these Sergeant ancestors. Penny also recruited family members for the Sergeant Y-DNA study of the Samuel and Thomas Sergeant lines, specifically to help unravel the mystery of who was the first of our ancestors to come to America.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-divider-wrap  tatsu-H1_hrEsWC   \"  ><style>.tatsu-H1_hrEsWC .tatsu-divider{height: 2px;width: 80px;background: rgba(128,0,0,1);}.tatsu-H1_hrEsWC.tatsu-divider-wrap{text-align: center;margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;}<\/style><hr class=\"tatsu-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-column-overlay tatsu-animate-none\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22 > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22 > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22 > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22 > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}@media only screen and (max-width:1377px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-ryZ5vc8a22.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><style>.tatsu-HycPqUa33 .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;}.tatsu-HycPqUa33 .tatsu-section-offset-wrap{transform: translateY(-0px);}.tatsu-HycPqUa33 > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HycPqUa33 > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HycPqUa33 .tatsu-section-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-SySFAlk62 tatsu-section  tatsu-bg-overlay   tatsu-clearfix\" data-title=\"\"  data-headerscheme=\"background--dark\"><div class='tatsu-section-pad clearfix' data-padding='{\"d\":\"10px 0px 10px 0px\"}' data-padding-top='10px'><div class=\"tatsu-row-wrap  tatsu-wrap tatsu-row-one-col tatsu-row-has-one-cols tatsu-medium-gutter tatsu-reg-cols  tatsu-clearfix tatsu-BJlBY0l1pn\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-row \" ><div  class=\"tatsu-column  tatsu-bg-overlay tatsu-one-col tatsu-column-image-none tatsu-column-effect-none  tatsu-r1WHK0gyph\"  data-parallax-speed=\"0\" style=\"\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-inner \" ><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad-wrap\"><div class=\"tatsu-column-pad\" ><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-rkAnAx1Th  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-rkAnAx1Th.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}.tatsu-rkAnAx1Th.tatsu-text-block-wrap{margin: 0px 0px 5px 0px;}<\/style>\n<h5>Hiram Adolphus Sage<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-rkzrF0gJah  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-rkzrF0gJah.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}.tatsu-rkzrF0gJah.tatsu-text-block-wrap{margin: 0px 0px 5px 0px;}<\/style>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> October 21, 1859 &#8211; February 21, 1944<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-text-block-wrap tatsu-rJQBY0xJp2  \"><div class=\"tatsu-text-inner tatsu-align-center  clearfix\" ><style>.tatsu-rJQBY0xJp2.tatsu-text-block-wrap .tatsu-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}.tatsu-rJQBY0xJp2.tatsu-text-block-wrap{margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;}<\/style>\n<p>Hiram Adolphus Sage was a professor of physics at the Oshkosh Normal School, predecessor of the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, and a genealogist. He is the grandson of Hiram Sergeant, son of Samuel George Sergeant and Catherine Marvin. When Professor Sage looked into his Sergeant family history, he discovered no record of anyone having researched our branch of the Sergeant line. He began his research about 1890 and continued for several decades. Besides reviewing documents available to him, he interviewed the few living ancestors of Samuel and Catherine. Those interviews and his research conclusions have been instrumental in piecing together the story of Samuel and Thomas Sergeant.<\/p>\n<p>The Sage research is preserved at the New York State Library in Albany, New York, as a collection entitled &#8220;Adolphus Hiram Sage Genealogy Papers&#8221;, covering eight generations of the Sage and Sergeant families and allied lines in
