January 22, 2001: received in postal mail a copy of the records of a family bible in the posession of N. Doutt, a dealer in old books. " The bible that contained the information and clippings was beyond repair and was discarded; however the Family Record Pages have been organized in an effort to preserve the family history..... The Bible was in the posession of Mary Burnham of Acworth, NH."
per Family Bible of his grand daughter Mary Malinda (Gould) Burnham: he married first Rachel and second Sally. The bible gives dates of birth and death for both wives and for himself as well as their first names. Sargent's DOD is given and age at death is 61y 5m 4d which calculates to DOB = 2 Jan 1773
