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.

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.
