3132 Waitestill Heath [Joseph Heath] Census records:
1800 MA Berkshire, Sandisfield
Widow? Waitestill:
1810 CT Hartford, Farmington 1820 CT Hartford, Hartford 1830 CT Hartford, East Windsor 1840 CT Hartford, East Windsor Hubert Merrill Sedgwick wrote this about Chauncy Sedgwick:
Chauncy Sedgwick (3132) Census records show that Chauncy and Waitestill had one son and one daughter born before 1800, had one son and two daughters born between 1800-1810 and two daughters born between 1810-1820, and that the eldest daughter was out of the home by 1820. Add one child that Hubert recorded "died Mar. 18, 1819 aged 4 months," and it might be that they had a total of eight children. I have seen two lists, one at Ancestry.com and one at FamilySearch.org, that show these children: Catherine F, Eliza, Ann, Maria, Flavella, Elvira, Chester Kies and Aaron Heath, all "Segwick." Because of the unusual spelling, I suspect they both came from the same source. The list at FamilySearch.org cites Ann Sedgwick as marrying Edward Rockwell and Flavella Sedgwick as marrying one "Julius Chapman Hartgood," however, Chauncy's daughter Eliza married Mr Willey, and their daughter Ann Willey married Edward Rockwell4. and their daughter Flavella Willey married Julius Chapman, so those are both very wrong, and left out. Both lists list Elvira with a birth date that has to be Eliza's, casting doubt on the existence of Elvira, so I leave her out also at this time. This leaves only five children plus the unknown who died as in infant. Hopefully we can find more information later. Children: This list is the best guess only at this time, so no numbers yet.

March 18, 1819 Eliza Sedgwick [Chauncy Sedgwick / Waitestill Heath] John Willey [parents unknown] John Willey appears in the 1820 census with his wife and one daughter, but never appears again. Because of this, I believe he must have died between 1820 and 1830. Extra people show up at the Chaunbcy Sedgwick houslehold in 1830; I suspect that these are Eliza and the children. Census records:

Children: I can find no record of the last two.
