CAPTAIN SAMUEL SEDGWICK (1735): Married to Mary Hopkins, Samuel Sedgwick may have been a cooper and/or distiller. West Hartford has both a middle school and road named after this family. There is only one other gravestone similar to his in the cemetery (Nathaniel Smith's) and both have been attributed to an anonymous individual known as the "Glastonbury Lady." The carver acquired this name because he was a popular stonecutter in Glastonbury in the 1730s and many of his best stones were made for women.Information obtained from the historical society.

I give to my son Stephen Sedgewick that lott I bought of John Andrews, and the house he now lives in, and 55 acres of land on which his house now stands, and he shall have liberty to take the 55 acres in one piece, either east and west or north and south.

I give unto my son Benjamin Sedgewick my dwelling house, barn and all of my outhouseing and all my land at home, butting on his brother Jonathan's land east, and on Lt. Gillett's south.
