*Stickney Family: "AMOS STICKNEY, the second son of William and Elizabeth, was born in England about 1635, m. in Newbury, June 24, 1663, Sarah Morse. After his death she m. 2d in Newbury, Dec. 17, 1684, Stephen Acreman. She died there Dec. 7, 1711.
AMOS STICKNEY came with his father to Rowley, and was given by him the trade of a Weaver, which tradition says, he learnt from John Pearson, who Johnson (in his "Wonder Working Providence") says, had set up in Rowley before 1643, "the first fulling-mill in America," and according to Governor Winthrop this town exceeded all others in the manufactory of cloth. A ruler made from a cedar tenter post, brought from England and used in the construction of this Mill, is now in the possession of the author.
AMOS STICKNEY soon after the completion of his trade established himself at Newbury, an adjoining town, as a Weaver, his father having (as is stated in his Will) "not only given him a trade, but some part of the estate towards his settling there."
Jan. 19, 1658. He then of Newbury, Weaver, buys of Robert Morse, Taylour, and Ann his wife of Newbury for £34, "all that house and three acres of land situate, lyeing and being in Newbury abovesayd, on the South of the trayneing greene, one acre whereon the house, garden and orchyard, is sittuat upon, is bounded with the land of Richard Brown on the South, the trayneing greene on the North, the land of Anthony Morse Sen'r on the East, and the mill way on the West, the other two acres bounded with the yard of Capt. Gerrish on the South, Richard Browne's land on the East, the common on the North and West." Wit. Wm. Thomas, Peeter Morse. Ack. Mch. 25, 1662. [Essex Deeds, 2: 81.]
May 11, 1663. He "in consideration of a mare and colt delivered him by Anthony Morse, Jun'r, of Newbury," sells him the two acres of land purchased of Robert Morse, bounded as abovesaid. [Ibid 5: 65.]
May 13, 1663. He buys of Solomon Keyes of Newbury, and Frances his wife, for £60, "all the house, barn and ye parcell of land on which it standeth, and ye whole lot formerly purchased of Wm. Titcomb of 4 acres, with privileges of a freehold as it lyeth in Newbury in south-west corner of South Field, next little Pine Swamp, bounded on land Wm. Stevens dec'd, on east side, pine swamp on north-west, the Common on south, and the land of Wm. Titcomb on north end and on West corner, with all and singular ye House, Barn, Orchard, Garden, fences &c. undivided comons, profits, freehold priviledges and appurtenances, thereunto belonging." Wit. Anthony Somerby and John Webster. [Ibid 58: 149.]
"AMOS STICKNEY of Newbury, took the oath of Fidelity to this Commonwealth this 25 of ye 3 mo. 1669 before me Robert Pike, Com."
Sept. 19, 1670. "The Town granted to William Titcomb and AMOS STICKNEY the little pine swamp to be their proprierty with skirts of the common, provided they make and maintain a sufficient fence about the hole, for the safety of the cattle, from time to time." [Newbury Town Rec.]
The Pine Swamp above mentioned, is the tract of land on the south side of Oak-Hill Cemetery, and was, it appears, surrounded by the common.
Amos Stickney died in Newbury, August 29, 1678, leaving the following Will, dated two days before his death.
On the homestead and freehold which AMOS STICKNEY purchased of Solomon Keyes, he lived and died. In his Will dated Aug. 27, 1678, he conveyed his house &c., after his wife Sarah's decease, to his son John, [19] who in his Will dated May 13, 1727, gave it to his wife Mary during her life, then to his son Amos. Amos Stickney [58] in his nuncupative Will, sworn to Nov. 21, 1763, left this house to his son John, [190] who disposed of it about 1772, after its having been in the family over one hundred and nine years, and removed to Epping, N. H., where he died. This estate in 1845 was the residence of Moses Coffin, and was the next house to that occupied by Capt. Richard, Enoch, and Joseph Jaques, on what was once called South street, but in 1845, Parker street. It is sometimes erroneously called West India Lane."
