Elizabeth Upham Sargeant married James Sargeant, the great grandson of John Sargeant and his third wife Lydia Chipman. Their daughter is Mary "Mara" Sargeant. After James Sargeant drowned in a sailing accident 5 May 1759, Mara was born several months later (10 Oct 1759) and was raised by Elizabeth. Mara's mother Elizabeth was still alive when Mara was a teenager carrying water and helping bandage troops during the Battle of Bunker Hill (1775). Therefore, she did not die the same day Mara was born.
