Bethel's REV Aaron Sargent m Denham,and REV Aaron K Sargent were
Baptist,and "not" of the family of JOHN AND JAMES SARGENT of Franklin
Twnsp-Methodist.
One of the latter had an important mill ssw of Felicity,while the other
lived 2-3 miles towards Bethel from Felicity. Pigman,and
Lamb,Prather,more are kinsmen of the
latter. FREDRICK-MONTGOMERY CO MD line. I think of this colony when
the old
lady told REV GADDIS not to carry gossip from 1 church to the next. James
and JOHN were 75 miles sww on Gaddis's circut from Snowden
Sargent-prther-MOORE-near Lucasville,Oh-now Pike Co. RTS 32 AND 23.
