Isaac Corvin Sergeant, farmer, P. O. Rice Lake, Barron county, was born 
in Essex county, N. J., May 3, 1815.  His grandfather, Isaac Sergeant, 
was born in 1739, and his grandmother December 26, 1746.  His father, 
Stephen Sergeant, was born August 2, 1784, and his mother, Anna (Penney) 
Sergeant, August 27, 1784.  He is the youngest of five children born to 
his parents, and the only one now living.  At the age of three years he 
was taken by his parents to Sullivan county, N. Y., where he lived until 
nineteen years old.  Then he went to Bradford, Pa., thence to Tioga, N. Y.  
In 1846 he came to Wisconsin, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 
Green Lake county in 1860, and in the fall of that year removed to Dodge 
county.  In May, 1864, he enlisted in the Thirty-ninth Wisconsin volunteer 
infantry, and was made first lieutenant.  During his service his time was 
mostly spent in garrison duty in Memphis, Tenn.  He was in the service only 
four months.  In August, 1875, he came to Rice Lake and located on his farm 
near that city.  He was elected justice of the peace, and has held the office 
ever since.  Politically he was formerly a republican, but of late years he 
has supported the principles of the prohibition party.

Our subject's first marriage was to Miss Hannah Sophia Morse, at Smithfield, 
Pa., May 5, 1836.  This union was blessed with seven children, namely:  
Martha Louisa, Phoebe Jane (deceased), Mary Ann, Isaac Gilbert (deceased), 
Sarah Sophia (deceased), George Washington and Stephen William.  His second 
marriage was to Miss Diana Van Arsdell, by whom he had no children.  His 
third marriage was to F. A. Mann, at Eau Claire, February 15, 1873, and to 
them were born four children, two of whom are living, namely:  Isaac Newton 
and Nettie Viola.  Mr. Sergeant and wife are members of the Methodist church 
and he has been a member of the I. O. O. F., G. A. R., Sons of Temperance 
and Temple of Honor.  Mr. Sergeant has in his possession a book in good 
preservation which was printed in 1729, and which formerly belonged to his 
grandmother.
