Census records:
Francis Minturn Sedgwick was a rancher and a sculptor. He was the father of Edie Sedgwick. He and his wife Alice Delano de Forest moved to Santa Barbara County, California, where they purchased the Rancho Corral de Quati and became cattle ranchers "to support the war effort." Some people have all the luck; oil was discovered on the ranch. He purchased the larger Rancho La Laguna, the major part of which he and his wife later bequeathed to the University of California, where it is known as the Sedgwick Reserve.
A good short history of Francis Minturn Sedgwick is found in his obituaries.
