Samuel Sedgwick  [Samuel Sedgwick / Elizabeth Harwood]
b. abt 1670
m. abt 1694, Elizabeth Unknown (Harrison?)
bu 21 August 1741 St Lawrence Jewry & St Mary Magdalen Milk Street, London, Middlesex

Samuel was apprenticed into the Painters Company;

Samuel describes himself in his will as 'milliner of Cheapside, London' and he refers to property held in the counties of Hertford, Suffolk and London. The shop in Cheapside is left to his son John Sedgwick and he also refers also to a partnership between himself, his sons Robert and John Sedgwick and John Stone deceased (John Stone's will proved in 1738).

The wills of Samuel and Elizabeth refer to their three sons and reference to the lists of Apprentices show that at least two of the sons were members of the Painters Company;

The will of this Robert Sedgwick shows that he was the Sedgwick in the Company of Sedgwick, Kilby and Barnard of Watling Street which in 1744 is mentioned in Osborn's guide. After Robert's death, his widow Rebecca married his partner Christopher Kilby who had strong connections with North America. It is possible therefore that Elizabeth Sedgwick, the only known grandchild, moved to America with her step-father.
