===============================
James Stickney married Mary Belknap just a few years prior to this date. Their first son was born in January of this year (1768). When the Revolutionary War started, they had six children. James served in the local militia during the war, commissioned as an ensign in John Belknap's company (his brother-in-law?). Ruttenber, in his History of Orange County, states that James practiced as a physician in Newburgh. At any rate, this prolific and influential family settled in many parts of Orange and Ulster.
