Census records:
Zadock Sedwick told the census taker in 1850 that he was born in Maryland 78 years previous.
Because of this and the "Sedwick" spelling, I suspect that he is descended from Thomas Sedwick, but what is his ancestry?
There is a report that a census "Heads of Household - 1782, Virginia" connects Zadock to
Benjamin Sedwick (aft 1728 - 1783) and Christiana Clare (1726 - 1798).
Chuck Sedwick, a descendant of Zadock, is trying to locate this census.
However, I suspect that he is son of the Benjamin Sedwick in the 1810 census of Culpeper County, Virginia,
who may be Benjamin Sedwick b. 1740 son of Benjamin b. abt 1711.
Zadock first appears in Culpeper County, Virginia in 1802, when he purchased land.17
He purchased two more tracts of land in 1813 and 1817.
He married Elizabeth "Murphey" probably in 1802, but possibly not until 1807;
the truth should be found on Volume 1, page 17 of the Virginia Culpeper County Marriage Records,
which have been filmed on LDS Film 30927. (This film is not available at LDS FHC Los Angeles)
There is also a record in Culpeper County of a Sally Sedwick marrying John Murphy, December 24, 1805.4,5
She is probably Zadock's sister, and he is probably a brother or cousin of Elizabeth.
As you search for Zadock, keep an eye out for Sally.
