Hamo Dentatus De Crevequer
Sire De Cruelly
From: "Sinclair"
Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2002 13:04:42 +0200
E.A. Freeman was definitively William's principal panegyrist. He makes no memtion of any St Clair rebels.
Hamon was killed Val-es-dunes he was Lord of Creully, Torigny, Evrecy and Thaon. He was not the Comte (Earl) of Corbeil or Mortain. The first three Counts were:
996 to 1032 Mauger de Normandie, comte de Mortain et de Corbeil
1032 to 1048 Guillaume 1er de Normandie, surnommé Werleng ou Guerleng,comte de Mortain et de Corbeil
1049 to 1104 Robert 1er de Conteville, comte de Mortain et deCornouailles
(The name of Thaon appears very early in archives of Normandy. Hamon of the Teeth, Lord of Creully, Torigny, Evrecy and Thaon was one of the feudal rebels at the time of the uprising that was defeated by William the Bastard at Val - es-dunes (1047). Léchaudé of Anisy in his notes onthe barony and the church of Thaon it is mentioned by Wace Roman de Rou.) His father was Malger his Mother: Coeur-en-Auge
In 1035, Robert, Duke of Normandy died. Although William was illegitimate,he was Robert's only living son, and so inherited the father's title.Gilbert, Count of Brionne, became William's guardian. A number of Norman barons would not accept an illegitimate son as their leader and in 1040 an attempt was made to kill William. The plot failed by they did manage to kill Gilbert.
William was a Norman born and bred. William's cousin Guy of Burgundy, his rival was in every sense a Frenchman. His connexion with the ducal house was on distaff side, but uncontested legitimacy.This gave him an excusefor claiming the duchy in opposition to the bastard.. William after the death of Gilbert, gave the island fortress of Brionne in the Risle toGuy. The partition of the duchy was Guy's aim. William was to bedispossessed; Guy was to be duke in the lands east of Dive; the greatlords of Western Normandy were to be left independent. St Clair fiefs lay to the North and East of a line from Rouen to Caen. The lords of the Bessin and the Cotentin revolted, their leader being Neal, Viscount of Saint-Sauveur in the Cotentin.
The victory at Val-es-dunes was decisive, and the French King, whose help had done so much to win it, left William to follow it up. He met with butlittle resistance except at the stronghold of Brionne. Guy himself vanishes from Norman history. William had now conquered his own duchy,and conquered it by French help. For once King Henry had kept his word.
The Conqueror's battle at Val-es-dunes was a tourney of horsemen on an open table-land just within the land of the rebels between Caen andMezidon. William with the aid of Henry, King of France, William gained a great victory at Val-ès-Dunes, which led, to the capture of the two strong castles of Alençon and Domfront.

Sworn clerk of the train band of Salisbury on 8 April 1651 one source indicates DOB 1602 and 28 Mar 1609 and death in 1674Occupation: Able Seaman.
Lived in Ipswich, Hampton, Amesbury, Newbury, Salisbury, Massachusetts.
One of the first to plant at Ipswich, Massachusetts. One of the founders of Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.
Admitted to the Massachusetts Bay Church before May 22, 1639.
The following interesting bit of family history we take from an issue ofthe Salisbury (Massachusetts.) Villager (1876): "Wednesday night theRiverside Lodge of this village made public their installation ofofficers in Sargent Hall, after which friends and invited guests partookof a bountiful supper. The Sargents are a numerous family in this town,and are large owners of real and personal estate. William Sargent, one oftwelve men who settled in Ipswich, in 1633, subsequently went to Newbury,and thence to Amesbury in 1643, where he died in about 1675, agedseventy-three. He was the founder of the family name in this town.
Excerpt from "William Sargent and His Descendants in America" ...He cameto America on the Ship Lion in 1633 with John Winthrop and his company ofPuritan s and landed at Massachusetts possibly Charlestown. They begana common type of living, with all working together for a common purpose,but not to the point of common money affairs. t hey each worked at hisoriginal tade, that they had followed in England, and began to buil d anew life in America. William married after he reached America, and hadmany children, among which was Thomas and the line that we follow down toour Sargeant... Ms. Norma M. Hutson
Anderson's GMB According to the "Sargent Record" by E. E. Sargent (1899), William diedin Amesbury,Massachusetts. and is buried there at the "Ferry". Elizabetharrived in America aboard the ship Lion in the spring of 1631. The writerstates that william and Elizabeth were both in Agawam (Ipswich) prior to1633 and that they probably married there in 1633. there is apparently norecord of the marriage. The Sargent Record says william married JoannaRowell Sept. 18, 1670.

ASSOCIATIONS: The William Sargent of this sketch is not to be confused with the William Sargent of Gloucester who was "cousin german" of ThomasWathing [EQC 1:264].
The convoluted affinity proposed by Hoyt among William of Amesbury,Richard of London, and a ghostly William of Charlestown strains allcredulity [Hoyt 310-11].
In his will of 20 June 1663 Theophilus Shatswell of Haverhill named"my brother Wilyam Sargent & my kinsman Lieutenant Philip Challis" hisoverseers [EPR 1:425]; Philip Watson-Challis had married Mary, the eldestchild of William Sargent. Recent research has shown that no sibling ofTheophilus Shatswell married William Sargent [NEHGR 150:181-90], and thetwo wives of of William Sargent have been identified. The most likelyremaining solution is that Theophilus Shatswell married a sister ofWilliam Sargent. COMMENTS: William "Sargeant" sued Mr. William Hook of Salisbury for 56s.in corn 26 December 1643 [EQC 1:55]. He acknowledged judgment in favor ofMr. Jonathan Wade 26 September 1648 [EQC 1:147]. Michael Spencer sued himfor detaining corn and other goods 2 January 1650 [EQC 1:205].
Hard words were exchanged between the Sargents and their nearneighbors, the Martins. Either William Sr. or Jr. was sued for slander byGeorge Martin, who claimed Sargent had called his wife a witch 13 April1669 [EQC 4:129].

In 1672 William Sargent and Joanna his wife sued Christopher Osgoodfor debt due part of the estate of Joanna's late husband, ValentineRowell [EQC 5:20]. BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1938 Mary Lovering Holman compiled an account ofWilliam Sargent and his family [Pillsbury Anc 1:119-22].
Excerpted Biography of William Sargent c. 1606 - 1675
William Sargent, described as an able seaman, was born 28 June 1606 inBath, Somerset, England. He came to America on the Ship Lion in 1633 withJohn Winthrop, Governor of the new colony, and his company of Puritans.The flotilla was comprised of 4 ships with four hundred people who setout to the new continent on April 7, 1630. The immigrants were mostlyPuritians and were carefully selected by Winthrop. He and his partyarrived two months later in Salem, Massachusetts. The settlers couldscarcely believe their eye's as the land was a total wilderness; exceptfor a few huts and clearings made by previous settlers. The thought's ofhaving to clear the land in order to raise crops and supply themselves inthe coming winter was frightening. With food provisions running low, andmany suffering from malnutrition, scores of the new settlers refused toget off the ships and decided to sail back to England immediately. Thosewho landed faced what seemed to be an insurmountable task. Through faithin God, perseverance, hard work, and the leadership of John Winthrop,William Sargent along with 800 of 1000 new settlers survived the firstwinter by carving caves in the hillsides and digging holes in the ground.When spring arrived another 200 would return to England.
The colony was moved away from Salem, someplace where they would haveroom to build houses and raise crops. The colony settled largely inCharlestown, Cambridge, Boston, Watertown, Roxbury and Dorchester.William Sargent took his family north where they would settle in Ipswich,Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts. Elizabeth, who would become thewife of William Sargent, arrived in America aboard the ship Lion in thespring of 1631. William and Elizabeth were both in Agawam (Ipswich)prior to 1633. William Sargent was one of the first to plant at Ipswich,Massachusetts. It is believed they married there in 1633. There isapparently no record of the marriage.
In a grant at Ipswich in 1634, William Sargent received twelve acres ofland [ITR]. "Willi[am] Sergant" was in the list of petitioners, mostly Newbury men,headed by STEPHEN BACHILER, who on 6 September 1638 were granted "libertyto begin a plantation at Winnacunnet [Hampton]" [MBCR 1:236]. "Will[iam]Sargent" was in the section of married men in the list of first comers toHampton [GDMNH 55].William Sargent was admitted to the Massachusetts BayChurch before May 22, 1639. Also he is recognized as one of the foundersof Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.
William "Sargeant" sued Mr. William Hook of Salisbury for 56s. in corn 26 December 1643 The inventory of the estate of "Willi. Sargent, Senr.," taken 8 April1675 by Thomas Sargent and John Weed, totalled D196, of which the realestate totalled D137 10s., including "housing & lands about the house &orchard on both sides [of] the country way," D85; "half the lot in thetide meadows, D16; "a Higledee Pigledee lot in the salt marsh" D25; "alot lying in ... Lyons Mouth," D5 10s.; "a lot in the great swamp," D2;"a lot in ... Bugmore," D4
On 7 November 1644 John Severans of Salisbury, planter, sold to WilliamSargent of Salisbury, planter, twenty acres of upland in Salisbury on thewest side of Powwos river [NLR 3:5]. On 25 March 1647 Anthony "Colebie"of Salisbury, planter, deeded to William Sargent of Salisbury, seaman, adwelling house and house lot in Salisbury between Jarred Haddon and HenryBrowne [NLR 1:19] On 16 December 1652, William Sargent of Salisbury sold to John Browne ofHampton, the meadow and upland adjacent to Aquilla Chase and widow"Bristos" [NLR 1:21]. On 15 April 1659 he also sold to John Woodin ofSalisbury upland in Salisbury near the "Pawwaus River above the falls"[NLR 1:84]. On 1 November 1666, William Sargent of Salisbury, seaman, gave for"natural affection" to his son Thomas Sargent thirty acres of upland inSalisbury abutting the Merrimack River [NLR 2:157].
In 1669, hard words were exchanged between the Sargent's and their near neighbors, the Martins. Either William Sr. or Jr. was sued for slander byGeorge Martin, who claimed Sargent had called his wife a witch 13 April1669 [EQC 4:129]. Martin sued Thomas Sargent for saying that his sonGeorge Martin was a bastard and that Richard Martin was Goodwife Martin'simp [EQC 4:129].
On 22 October 1669, William Sargent of Amesbury gave for "naturalaffection and other considerations" to his "beloved son Thomas Sargent: "Six acres of marsh granted to him by Salisbury, and a sweepage lot ofsalt marsh in Salisbury at a place called "ye beache" being lot number 8containing three acres and four rods, being half the lot of marsh betweentwo islands called "Barnss Iland" and "Ware Iland" [NLR 2:153].
