He received his nation's highest award for bravery during combat, the U.S. Medal of Honor, for planting the American flag on a Confederate fort at Petersburg, Virginia on April 2, 1865.[1][2] Formative yearsBorn on December 29, 1842 in Stowe, Vermont,[3] Jackson George Sargent was a son of Jeremiah Sargent (1814–1888) and Sophronia P. (Robinson) Sargent (1814-1886). He was reared and educated in Stowe, where he resided with his parents and siblings: Henry H., Hannah, and Charles Taylor Sargent. Civil War servicePost-war lifeFollowing his honorable discharge from the military, Sargent returned home to Vermont, where he wed fellow Vermont native Caroline M. (Harlow) Sargent (1842–1895) sometime around 1867. On July 2, 1868, he and "Carrie" welcomed the birth of their son, Fred (1868–1898).[6] Two years later, federal census takers documented the trio as residents of Stowe.[7] By 1880, Sargent was a farmer residing in Hyde Park, Lamoille County, Vermont with Carrie and their children, Fred, Howard, and Walter Merrill (the latter two of whom were born, respectively, circa 1871, and 1875). Also living with them were laborer Henry Peck and dressmaker Hattie Chatman.[8] Still in Stowe as of 1890, the federal census taker that year confirmed his prior service with the 5th Vermont during the American Civil War.[9] After being widowed by his first wife in 1895, he was also preceded in death by his son, Fred, who passed away in 1898. Sargent then remarried sometime around the turn of the century, taking New York native Clara H. (Douglass) Sargent (1847–1919) as his bride. Still farming in 1910, he and his second wife, Clara, were empty nesters in Stowe that year.[10] By the time of the federal census taker's arrival in 1920, Sargent was still dairy farming, but now a two-time widower living alone with his 67-year-old housekeeper, Martha Warner.[10] For many years, Sargent was also an active member of the Grand Army of the Republic (H.H. Smith Post).[11] Suffering from a shock-related illness, Sargent died at his Maple Street home in Stowe on October 2, 1921, and was laid to rest with military honors at the Riverbank Cemetery, where both of his wives were buried. Funeral services were held at his home prior to that interment. Twenty members of the American Legion's Donald McMahon Post served as the honor guard.[3] Medal of Honor citationFirst to scale the enemy's works and plant the colors thereon.[12] See also{{Portal|Biography|United States Army|American Civil War|Vermont}}
