"After the births of their children, John Stephen Sargent joined a religious colony and moved to Florida, where he lived the remainder of his life. His sons often visited him there. His father had been active in this certain church, the Swoedenburg Church and John dedicated his life to their beliefs. Coleman handles this subject in his book, "Lincoln in Coles County," as it was rumored that Abraham Lincoln belonged to this faith and had visited in the Sargent home. Maria...reared the children (plus several not her own) and worked the farm." The Sargents had nine children. See their notes. See sources.
