History
Born in New Milford , Litclifield, Conn., May 29, 1743 and died in Shefford Township, L.C. Dec. 18, 1809 and is buried in Waterloo Protestant Cemetery. He was a practising physician on Grand Isle and lived for a time on Caldwell's Manor, the area where refugee Loyalists lived before moving into the Eastern Townships. He was a clergyman doctor in deacon's orders.
One of his sons married a daughter of Capt. John Savage who settled the Township of Shefford. By 1800, we find Garlick residing in Shefford, and, in whose house where, on one of his visits, the Hon. and Rev. Charles Stewart preached and performed Sacrements. The records which Garlick kept have not been found.
It is believed that his was the first burial in Waterloo Cemetery and that he lived in that part of Shefford Township where the village began, and was buried in his own backyard ..John Savage no doubt allotted him a lot or part of lot in that part of the Township. Unofficially the Rev. Garlick was the first practising clergyman in this part of the Townships.
As a Loyalist, Garlick made several petitions for land for himself and also his sons. He received one in Potton Township which he said was unfit. The document listed below shows where he petitioned and got land in Shefford.
