(V) Ebenezer (3), son of Ebenezer (2) Webster, was born in Kingston, April 22, 1739, died April 14, 1816. He grew up with- out a day's schooling knowing almost nothing of books, but fully equipped physically to ful- fill the mission of life on the frontier where strong bodies, sound sense and courage were required to cope with the lurking foes of the forest. He came of age during the great French and Indian war, and about 1760 en- listed in the famous corps known as "Rogers Rangers." In the dangers and successes of desperate fighting the "Rangers" had no equals and in their hard perilous experiences Eben- ezer Webster had his full share. He served under General Jeffrey Amherst and returned to his native town with the rank of captain. In 1763 he settled in Salisbury, New Hampshire, there then being no white man's abode between him and Montreal. He spent eleven years there. The revolution broke out and at once enlisted his active support. He raised a com- pany of two hundred men and at their head marched to join the forces at Boston. He served at White Plains, and at Bennington was one of the first to scale the breastwork and came out of the battle with his swarthy skin so blackened with dust and gunpowder that

He continued there successfully until his death in 1907. He married, in 1855, Orpha Jane, daughter of Loren and Mary ( Phetterplace) Gleason, who survives him, a resident of Tarpon Springs, Florida.

(VIII) Philip Leavitt, second son of Philip Huntoon Webster, was born August 6, 1830, in Danbury, New Hampshire. He was taken to Lebanon when two and one-half years old.

Soon after his marriage Colonel Little came to Pennsylvania with his wife and two stepsons, settling at Bradford, then called Littleton, making the trip westward through the forest by team. The boys were given the best of treatment by their stepfather, who gave them all the advantages of the early school and an academic course at Springville, Erie county, New York ..

(The Dix Line).
Lucy Jane (Dix) Webster was the sister of Governor John Adams Dix, of New York, and aunt of Rev. Morgan Dix. The Dix family came from Holland originally, the name be- ing probably derived from the Dutch word "Dyck" or "Dijck," a bank or dyke. Four branches of the family were founded in Amer- ica at an early day by Leonard Dix, of Weth- ersfield, Connecticut, Anthony Dix, of Ply- mouth, Massachusetts, Edward Dix, of Wa- tertown, Massachusetts, and Ralph Dix, of Ipswich; no relationship is proved but they were undoubtedly from the same English stock. Edward Dix was the ancestor of the present governor of New York, John Alden Dix (1912), while a former governor of the same state, General John Adams Dix, descend- ed from Ralph Dix, of Ipswich, Massachu- setts, also the ancestor of Rev. Morgan Dix, rector of Trinity Church, New York City. This branch of the family settled in New Hampshire where they were influential and prominent. Two of this family, Colonel Tim- othy and John A., are famous in military his- tory, the first in the war of 1812, the latter in both the war of 1812 and the civil. While treasurer of the United States in 1861, he
issued the famous order, previously mentioned, "If any man attempts to tear down the Amer- ican Flag, shoot him on the spot."

He was a member of the church more than seventy-five years. He married (first) June 28, 1739, Sarah, who died at Littleton, Massachusetts, September 30, 1775, in her fifty-sixth year, daughter of Rev. Benjamin Shattuck, of Littleton. He married (second) Miriam Leland, of Hollis, New Hampshire, who died there about 1833 aged nearly ninety years. Among the chil- dren by first wife was Timothy, of whom fur- ther.
(IV) Timothy, son of Jonathan Dix and his first wife, was born December 7, 1743. died 1824 at Pembroke, New Hampshire. He settled in Boscawen, New Hampshire, where he was postmaster for many years. He later moved to Pembroke where he died. He raised a company of soldiers during the revo- lution and was familiarly known as Lieutenant Dix. He was noted for integrity, faithful- ness, firmness, decision and strong attacliment to the cause of his country. He married (first) August 13, 1769, Rachel Burbank, of Bow, New Hampshire, (second) Mrs. Brown, (third) Mrs. Eliza Cunningham, of Pembroke. Children of first wife, Rachel

He passed several years in a mercantile house at Amherst, New Hampshire, and with his father and grand- father settled in Boscawen about 1790. He purchased a township in the northern part of the state which bears his name. At the com- mencement of the war of 1812 he was ap- pointed major of a New Hampshire regiment which was afterwards transferred to the Four- teenth Regiment United States Infantry, a regiment that was recruited under his super- vision in Maryland. Early in the spring of 1813 he marched from Baltimore to Sack- etts Harbor, but during the summer was pros- trated by fever. He accompanied the expedi- tion down the St. Lawrence in the fall against the advice of his physician, but having been promoted lieutenant-colonel and placed in command of the regiment, he would not remain behind. On the 10th of October he was seized with a violent attack of pneumonia and borne from the camp at Chrystters Fields, Canada, by his son, John A. Dix, and two offi- cers of his regiment, placed on his boat and died two days afterward. He was a man of strong character, of fine presence and court- eous manner, greatly beloved by all.

Schuylkill county, Pennsyl-
RAYMER vania, has been the seat of a German population, probably from the early years of the eighteenth cen- tury, although the early history of white set- tlement in this region is obscure. The names
100

GARLICK A Connecticut family of this name was apparently settled at Milford in the early years of the eighteenth century. Yet the family is to the present day small and scattered. Henry Garlick, who came from England was in Mil- ford in 1718, and in New Milford, Connecti- cut, 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 revo- lution 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,
102
ALLEGHENY VALLEY
there is a wide racial distinction, and it is nat- ural to suppose that any one of the name Gar- lick is descended from Henry Garlick, of Mil- ford and New Milford.
(I) Truman Garlick, the first member of this family about whom we have definite in- formation, was born in Otsego county, New York, died at Kasson, Mckean county, Penn- sylvania, in December, 1878. Beside having a farm and residing at Wilcox, Pennsylvania, he was a teamster, going between Smethport and Buffalo and between Smethport and Pitts- burgh. He was a Republican. He married Katharine Rifle, born in Tioga county, Penn- sylvania, died at Wilcox. Children : I. Charles, died young, unmarried. 2. Henry, died young, unmarried. 3. George Orson, of whom fur- ther. 4. Elizabeth, died at Hazelhurst, Penn- sylvania ; married Horace Stark, of Mckean county, a farmer ; children : Dora, deceased ; Lucy, resides in Buffalo. 5. Phoebe, died at Stillwater, Minnesota ; married Truman Mc- Fall, deceased ; large family. 6. Lucy, died at Kasson ; married Joseph Barnes, of Mckean county, deceased; he was a carpenter and a Union veteran, having served throughout the war in the "Bucktail" Regiment; children : Myra, deceased; Katharine, married Thomas Reed, resides in Buffalo; Elizabeth, died young.
