David L. SARGENT

  General Notes:

Photo: David was interred in Supler Cemetery in 1850, but his remains and stone were removed in 1981 to Enon Cemetery, Richhill Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania. His gravestone reveals he died on August 12, 1850 at "age 11 months." From that information, his birth would have occurred in September, 1849. Spelled "Sargeant" on his stone, the surname is spelled in different ways in various records pertaining to members of his immediate family. "Sargent" is used in the ALLUM file.
