JOHN SARGENT AND HIS FAMILY or THE TALE OF TWO SISTERS
John Sargent was born in Newbury, Berkshire, England, on the 15th of March
1814, the seventh of twelve children and the third son of Peter Sargent and
Rachel Pearce. His father, a Master Builder, was from North Bradley, Wiltshire.
Peter's name is recorded on the Newbury Burgess Roll year after year,
indicating that he was one of the leading citizens of the town, one who owned
property and voted in municipal affairs. Little is know about the ancestry of
John's mother except the name of her parents, William Pearce and Rachel Siddell,
and that she was a widow at the time of her marriage to Peter Sargent, having
previously been married to John Jay.
John followed the trade of his father, becoming a brick layer and then a
successful building contractor. He, his father, and his younger brother,
Benjamin, owned several properties in Newbury. John was also one of the town
burgesses.
At the age of twenty, on 10 August 1834, John Sargent married Ann Allen of
East Woodhay, Hampshire, a town just across the county border to the south. Her
parents were Edward Allen, a rake maker, and Rose (or Rosamund) Moth. Ann was
five years older than John, having been born 11 January 1809. They made their
home in Newbury, where two sons and three daughters were born. Shortly after
the youngest child, Joseph was two years old, Ann died of phthisis defined in
the dictionary as pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption. The ages of the five
children--John,Jr., Sarah Ann, Ellen, Louisa, and Joseph--ranged from eleven to
two. A housekeeper by the name of Matilda Wiseman was employed to care for
them.
The Sargents belonged to the Wesleyan Methodist church. It is believed they
may have heard of Mormonism soon after the first L.D.S. missionaries came to
England in the early 1840's, but apparently John was the only one of his
father's family who was favorably impressed with the new religion. After his
wife's death he accepted baptism, in 1850. His ambition then was to bring his
children to Salt Lake City, headquarters of the church, and to assist in
building the temple there.
He sold his home and business in Newbury and arranged first-class passage
aboard the ship "Kennebec" for himself, the children, and their housekeeper. He
purchased all kinds of suppies for the trip, including china, silver, and
fabrics,and prepaid their transportation for the entire journey. His money was
secured in his belt, one-tenth of which was to be used as a donation towards
the building of the temple.
The Kennebec sailed from liverpool on January 10, 1852. The ship was a new
and commodious one chartered by Church officials. There were 333 Mormons on
board, but because these were not enough to fill the vessel, a number of Irish
emigrants were allowed passage also. It was reported that the voyage was
generally pleasant except for "one terrific hurricane, which swept the deck
clean of cook houses, water barrels, and everything elso that could be washed
overboard." The hatchways were closed and the passengers were tossed about,
very frightened and wondering if they would ever see land again.
"The provisions were good and wholesome, and included oatmeal and pork; but
as the English did not like oatmeal and the Scotch could not relish pork, they
exchanged these articles of food with each other, to the satisfaction of both
parties." The Irish had not been supplied with sufficient provisionsto last
them until the end of the voyage, so they begin stealing from the Mormons, Who
consequently had to go short themselves and were compelled to subsist on half
rations the last four or five days before landing. \The Contributor,July 1892,
p408\
After a voyage of two months, they arrived at New Orleans on the 11th of
Marth. From there they continued up the MississippiRiver on asmall boat called
"The Pride of the West." They arrived at St. Louis about the end of March.
Some of the Kennebec Saints remained temporarily in St. Louis, but quite a
number, including the Sargents, were anxious to be on their way. About ninety
of them took passage on a delapidated steamboat, the "Saluda," which was to
take them up the Missouri River to Council Bluffs.When they reached Lexington,
Missouri, about half way to Council Bluffs, they had to lay by a few days on
account of floating masses of ice in the river. On the morning of April 9,
1852, as they were preparing breakfast, the captain started up the engine to
proceed, and a terrible explosion occurred. The engineers had carelessly let
the boilersget dry and red hot, and as the engines started and the pumps forced
cold water in, the boilers burst with a tremendous noise. The tragedy was
described in the Missouri Republican newspaper as follows:
On Friday morning, a little after seven o'clock, the steamer Saluda, F. T.
Belt master, which has been lying at this port since Monday morning the 5th,
having on board about 175 passengers, principally Mormons bound for Salt Lake,
made an effort to get under way. About the second revolution of her wheels, her
boilers bursted with a tremendous explosion, which was heard and felt in every
part of the city, completely wrecking the whole boat, and throwing her chimneys
and parts of the boilers and timbers in every direction.
This much is certainly known, but how many human beings, without a moment's
notice, were hastenedinto the world of spirits, will perhaps never be known
till the great day of accountability. We have not heart to attempt a description
of the scene. Twenty-six mangled corpses collected together, and as many more
with limbs broken, and torn off, and bodies badly scalded--wives and mothers
frantic at the loss of husbands and children--husbands and bereaved orphans
engaged in searching among the dead and dying for wives and parents--are scenes
which we can neither behold nor describe...
Among the frantic orphans searching among the dead for their father were the
Sergent children. His body was found on the river bank, stripped of money and
valuables. The little brother, Joseph, was never found, apparently lost in the
river. Louise was nbadly scalded from hip to ankleand unable to walk for three
months. John Jr.,Sarah Ann, and Ellen escaped serious injury but lost all of
their possessions. their father, John Sargent, was buried, along with many
others, ina common grave in the "Potter's Field" section of Machpelah cemetery
in Lexington.
A kind family of Lexington took the shocked and grief-stricken Sargent
children into their home and offered to send them back to relatives in England.
Ellen, who was 12, chose to remain with them and be adopted, but John Jr.,
Sarah Ann and Louisa wanted to continuethe journey and realize their fathers
dream. It is not known what became of the housekeeper who had sailed with them
from England. Old family records indicate that Ellen married a Mr. Bremmer, had
a daughter named Lou Bodecker, and died at the age of 29, so apparently Sarah
Ann and Louisa kept in touch withher. Births and deaths were not recorded in
Missouri until 1910 and a search of the records in Lexington reveal nothing
about her adoption, marriage, or death.
