Charles Zadock Sedwick never did figure out whether he was born in Virginia or Missouri. He gave both states with regularity. I tend to believe the earliest record, as given by his father in the 1850 census, when Charles was but four years old, and the memory was fresh; I suspect that while his two older brothers were born in Missouri, Charles was born in Virginia. He served in the Civil War in Company H Fourth Virginia Calvary,
which hailed from Fauquier County and called themselves the "Black Horse Cavalry."
