��TBE STICKNEY GENEALOGY.

��JOSEPH P. STICKNEY was tenth cousin only to his wife, Lucretia Gibson. Daniel (iale was third cousin to his wife, Ruth Carter. There were only four other intermarriages among Joseph Stickney's one hundred and seventy- four ascendants, one each of first and second cousins, and two of fifth cousins. The absence of insanity was probably largely due to this remarkably small number of intermarriages.

The Peter Ciilman who was in Col. Stickney's regiment, at Bennington, was not Brigadier-Gen. Peter, as Oilman genealogy says. D. G. Hoskings, jr., sec- retary of the Massachusetts Historical Society, thinks that Sergeant Peter of Capt. Wilson's company, was son of Joshua, of (iihnanton.

Wendall P. Garrison, of the New Yo\\. Nation, claims that his father, William Lloyd Garrison, of immortal memory, was descended from William and Eliza- beth Sfickney, the emigrants, and that, therefore, the elder was tenth, and the junior eleventh cousin to Joseph Slickn -v. of Ne^v York city. The Garrisons are also descended from Samuel Brockleboak, the emigrant, who was also a captain and deacon. T'he original Garrison was a N jva Scotia English- man.
