SEDGWICK, ROBERT, Puritan, merchant, soldier, and colonist; led the English conquest of Acadia in 1654; b. 1611 at Woburn, Bedfordshire, England, son of William Sedgwick and Elizabeth Howe; d. 24 May 1656.
Sedgwick’s deep Puritan convictions led him to New England at the age of 24, after a brief mercantile career in London, where he was a member of one of the militia companies. He resided in Massachusetts from 1636 to 1653, held several political offices, helped build its militia, and became major-general of the colony in 1652.

A Reading and Visit with Actor Rob Sedgwick, author of Bob Goes to Jail
Rob Sedgwick was born into one of America's oldest and most storied families going all the way back to his ancestor Robert Sedgwick who opened the first brewery in the colonies in 1635. His sister is actress Kyra Sedgwick, and his cousin Edie Sedgwick was Andy Warhol's muse. In Bob Goes to Jail, Sedgwick - who had the drop dead good looks of Robert Redford and the judgment of Keith Richards - recounts in colorful detail his journey from lost, little boy to inept criminal. In 1990, the NYPD and the DEA caught him red-handed in his grandparents' apartment with 500 pounds of marijuana. The drug bust is the backdrop for the book, which offers vignettes from his childhood and his often-harrowing adolescence. Following the reading, Sedgwick will discuss the book and his life, including playing a drug lord on TV while awaiting trial for playing one in real life. Though you will cringe at every bad decision (and there are so many), Rob writes with such comic candor that you can't help but root for him. Bob Goes to Ja
