General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Garlick


A Connecticut family of this name was apparently settled at Milford in the early years of the eighteenth century. Yet the family two hundred years later was small and scattered. Henry Garlick, who came from England was in Milford in 1718, and in New Milford, Connecticut, in March, 1721. He had a large family, including seven sons. In England also the name seems to be rare and to belong especially, if not exclusively, to Lancashire. In the revolution Captain Samuel Garlick, a native of Huntington, Connecticut, was a soldier; he afterward lived at Rose, Wayne County, New York. It remains to say that despite the great similarity of name there is a quite distinct family, Garlock, of Palatine descent, their founder having been one of the leading spirits among those early German immigrants to New York state. Usually variations in surname, of so slight character, indicate nothing else than divergence in spelling; in this case, if the two spellings have been preserved unconfused, there is a wide racial distinction, and it is natural to suppose that any one of the name Garlick is descended from Henry Garlick, of Milford and New Milford. 2
