County of Christian, Kentucky. Historical and Biographical. Edited by William Henry Perrin. F. A. Battey Publishing Co., 1884, pp. 405-406. Hopkinsville City and Precinct. ANDREW SEARGENT, M. D., is a native of the State of Texas, and is the youngest of four living children born to John G. Seargent and Susan (Collier) Seargent. John G. was born in 1818, in Buckingham County, Va., and in the year 1830, with his father, Andrew H. Seargent, removed to Christian County, Ky. John G. Seargent was the only son of Andrew H. Seargent, and had three sisters, viz.: Mrs. M. L. Steger, widow of William Steger; Mary, deceased, wife of Joseph Radford, and the mother of Mrs. Dr. J. P. Thomas; Elizabeth, deceased, wife of Uriah Major. John G. Seargent continued a resident of this county, living near Beverly, until 1850, when with his family he emigrated to Texas, where the subject of this sketch was born August 16, 1858. His father and his two elder brothers there espoused the cause of the Confederacy and at the close of the war removed to Kentucky. Susan Seargent was born in Lincoln County, Ky., in 1821, where both she and her husband are now living. The early education of Dr. Seargent was obtained in the schools of Stanford, Ky. He read medicine with Dr. J. P. Thomas of this county, and in 1879 entered the Louisville Medical College, from which, in 1881, he graduated with the highest honors of his class for general proficiency. He was then elected to the position of Resident Physician of the Louisville City Hospital, where he practiced with credit to himself for one year. In 1882 he came to the city of Hopkinsville, Ky., and formed a partnership with Dr. W. M. Fuqua, which has since terminated. Though his residence here has been brief, his ability as a physician is acknowledged, and he has succeeded in establishing a very desirable practice. He is an active member of the State Medical Association and the order of Knights of Pythias, and is a regularly appointed Medical Examiner of Pension Claimants. In November, 1883, he was united in marriage with Miss Lizzie C., youngest daughter of Dr. D. J. Gish, of Hopkinville. Both the Doctor and hs estimable wife are members of the Hopkinsville Christian Church.
