LONG HILL Henrietta Ellery Sedgwick Lockwood (1906- 2000) was the daughter of Atlantic Monthly owner and editor Ellery Sedgwick (27 February 1872- 21 April 1960) and Mabel Cabot Sedgwick (3 July 1873 - 5 March 1937). The couple married in 1904. In 1916 the couple purchased a one hundred and fourteen acre property in Beverly, Massachusetts that they named Long Hill. After Mabel Cabot Sedgwick’s death in 1937, Ellery Sedgwick married Marjorie Russell (1896-1978), who continued establishing the gardens at Long Hill. Ellery Sedgwick was the son of Attorney Henry Dwight Sedgwick (16 August 1824- 26 December 1903) and Henrietta Ellery Sedgwick (18 October 1829- 22 February 1899). Although Henry Dwight Sedgwick worked in New York, he commuted weekly to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where his wife raised their five children: Ellery, Henry Dwight Sedgwick (1861-1957), Theodore Sedgwick (1863-1951), Jane Minot Sedgwick (1859-1918), and Alexander Sedgwick (1867-1929).
