Census records:
We do not know who Barnabas' parents were, but there is a clue. Thomas Stewart Sedwick, who served with Barnabas' son Thomas Duncan Sedgwick during the Civil War, said this in a letter for which I have a partial (undated) transcription:
"I remember being told about a Thomas Sedgwick who went into Pennsylvania and not having been heard from was thought to have gone to Kentucky. A Sedwick was an officer in the Miliitia in Ky, grandfather to the one I served with in the Army (114th U.S.C.T.) This Thomas must surely be the grandfather of P.K.S. [Peter Kiner Sedwick] who wrote this letter and probably lost in Kentucky."Daughter Ione Sedgwick said in censuses of 1880 and 1900 that her father was born in Pennsylvania.
Given that Barnabas and Lucinda were married in Cincinatti, Hamilton, Ohio, I have wondered if this Thomas Sedgewick is his father:

A grand-daughter of Ione wrote that Ione claimed another brother Charles who served in the Civil War Confederate Army, but no record of him has been found. There was a Charles Zadock Sedwick who fought in the Confederate Cavalry; perhaps she heard some mention of him and the connection became distorted.
