Census Records:

It appears that the widow Harriet (Elmore) Sedgwick may have remarried after 1830, as she and the children all disappear from the census records.

More about Titus Sedgwick:

Hubert Merrill Sedgwick indicates that "There were three children."
However, the 1930 census records indicate this distributon of children:

Children:   This list is the best guess only at this time, so no numbers yet.

Titus and Celinda appear together in this census record:

I had suspected from census records that Elmer F Sedgwick of Fulton, Rock, Wisconsin in the 1860 and 1870 census records was the son of Titus Sedgwick (4194) and Harriet Elmore, but the discovery at the Ancestry.com of the obituary of one Charles B Harden triggered the research that has convinced me of the above child list.

Acccording to his obituary Charles B Harden, born in Verona, Oneida, New York, married in 1842 one Harriet Sedgwick. She died a year later, and he married in 1845 a Celinda Sedgwick. They moved in 1855 to Rock County, Wisconsin.

In the 1850 census Titus E Sedgwick lives with Charles B Harden and Celinda (Sedgwick) Harden (his sister?). In 1860 Elmer F Sedgwick lives near the Hardens in Rock County, Wisconsin. It is quite possible that sons Elmer and Titus are the same person, that his real name was Titus Elmore Sedgwick after his parents, and that he started to use the Elmer as an adult. Elmer is never found in 1850, and Titus is never seen after 1850. It is also possible that Titus E could be Titus Ebenezer after his father and his grandfather. The key is that one cannot really decipher the age of Titus E Sedgwick in the 1850 census record. It might be 24 or 29. The reasons I have separated them to two individuals are (1) I needed two, there were two sons to account for and (2) in the 1860 census Elmer is definitely listed as Elmer F; that's definitely an "F" not a "T." We really need to find the church records of their births/baptisms.

The following are write-ups about the children. Be careful in separating fact from interpolation.

He came to Fulton, Wis., in 1868, where two years later he was united in marriage to Helen O. Harden. To this union were born seven chldren; Harve O. Walton of Magnolia, Mrs. Martin Knapp of Milwaukee, Bertram I. Walton, Milwaukee, Mrs. Ben Hibbard (deceased) George H. Walton of Kansas City, Missouri, Irvan O. Walton (deceased) and Mrs. Grant Imlay of Black Earth. After making their home in Iowa for a few years they returned to Wisconsin in 1879, settling in Evansville where the parents have since resided. Altho Mr. Walton had suffered no illness he had been in failing health for some time; and so his death on the morning of Nov. 3 came as a shock to all.

Obituary of Charles B Harden (1819 - 1911):

Charles B. Harden died at his home in this city, Friday morning, Aug. 11, 1911, of troubles incident to old age, after a brief illness which only partly confined him to his bed.

The funeral was held Monday at the M. E. church, the services being conducted by Rev. C. E. Coon and the interment being in Maple Hill cemetery.

He was born in Verona, Oneida County New York, Oct. 6, 1819 and spent his early years in navigating canal boats on the famous Erie canal.

In 1842 he was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Sedgwick, to whom one child was born. He was called upon to lose his bride in a little over one year.

In 1845, he maried Miss Celinda Sedgwick, and in 1855 came to Wisconsin and settled on a farm near Edgerton, where he continued to make his home for twenty-four years.

Thirty-two years ago he came to Evansville and worked as a builder and carpenter until forced to retire on account of infirmities of age.

He united with the Methodist church at the age of twenty and has been a faithful member and one of the most ardent workers. For more than nineteen years he was a class leader in the local church where he will be greatly missed.

A man of genial disposition and kindly heart he enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who knew him, while the friends who have been closely associated with him thro the years more fully appreciate his worth.

Mrs. Harden preceded him to the better land a little less than a year ago.

Of a family of nine children, seven are living, Mrs. Marion Van Patten, Iowa City, Iowa, Mrs. Emma Van Patten, Mrs. M. P. Walton and Mrs. Lettie Lee, of this city, Orville Harden of Belvidere, Ill., George of Rockford, Ill., and Levi of Seattle, Wash. And he also leaves nineteen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
