Samuel Stephen Sargent was the family historian and genealogist. He collected information on not only his ancestors, but the ancestors of many Hutton Township and Coles County residents. His intention was to compile a book of all the early settlers and their families. He interviewed many older residents and copied old church and cemetery records. Many Charleston residents remember Sam coming to visit them or their parents and establishing a family tree from their recollections. Sam died before his work could be finished. His will, an involved and somewhat complicated document, left his papers and manuscripts to the Illinois State Historical Society Library in Springfield, IL, now located in the basement of the Old State Capitol Building there. The Sargent Papers are a clutter of papers, pictures, documents and records, housed in a filing cabinet behind the main desk. Sam Sargent compiled one of the finest and most complete records of early Coles county and many genealogists and historians are in debt to him for his work and effort. His FIFTH and final marriage, to Bertie Irene Thompson, took place March 16, 1942, in Ft. Worth, TX. See sources.
