Variant spellings are a constant source of frustration for genealogists.
It's great when someone else compiles a list of those variant spellings for you. This list appeared in an 1895 genealogy of the Sargent family. Of course there are other variants, but this certainly catches the majority of them.
It always pays to have a list of variants.

My great-great-grandfather is listed in the book, but only as "A son." That's another story.
