Sedgwick, the son of Stephen Sedgwick and Anna Baldwin, was born March 15, 1815, in Pompey, New York, and attended Pompey Hill Academy and Hamilton College. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1848, and commenced practice in Syracuse, New York.[1]
Sedgwick was elected as a Republican to the 36th and 37th United States Congresses, holding office from March 4, 1859, to March 3, 1863. He was chairman of the United States House Committee on Naval Affairs during the 37th Congress.[2]
He engaged for the next two years in codifying naval laws for the United States Department of the Navy at Washington, D.C., and then resumed the practice of law in Syracuse.
On April 19, 1865, Sedgwick performed a eulogy at Hanover Square after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.[3]
