On 6 Mar., 1720-1, Jonas Rice, or Worcester, was appointed his guardian, he being a minor in his twentieth year of age (Middlesex Co. Probate, No. 14158). In 1722 he was centinel in the command of Capt. Samuel Bernard; was centinel in 1723-4, in garrison at Northfield, Mass., with his brother John, in Capt. Joseph Kellogg'> s company, he then called of Northampton; and in the autumn of that year was in scouting parties out from Northfield (Mass. Archives; and History of Northfield, pp. 197, 208). He is recorded in service until 1728. On 3 Aug., 1728, Thomas Sargent of Northfield, husbandman, dee> ded to William Williams of Weston, clerk, all
right, title or interest in lands belonging to my brother Daniel Sargent late deceased in Canada, which estate descended to him as his part of inheritance of our later father Dickery Sargent of Worcester, being part of a lot in the south part of Worcester, containing one hundred and fifty acres, and one-half of a thirty-four acre right (so called) in the north part of the said town [now Holden], which lands or estate is one fourth or quarter part thereof (the other parts my surviving brother and sister) (Worcester Co., Deeds, vol. 9, p. 354). The surviving brother and sister were John and Mary; and the remaining quarter part was deeded 28 Mar., 1744, to Benjamin Flagg of Worcester, by Sarah Shattuck of Westborough, singlewoman, as the only child of the sister Martha, from whom she inherited it (Worcester Co. Deeds, vol. 18, p. 230). Nothing has been found of Thomas in Worcester Co., Hampshire Co., or Northfield, Mass., records after the deed of 1728, but it is hoped that further trace of him may yet be discovered.
