  Notes	Immigrated with father and settled in Newbury, Massachusetts. Amos learned this trade of weaver from John Pearson who had set up the first fulling mill in America before 1643 . Amos later stated in his will that his father had "not only given him a trade, but some part of the estate toward his settling" in Newbury, Massachusetts. With his wife, Sarah Morse, he bought 32 acres of land and a house there in January 1658 for 34 pounds. In May 1663 he sold 2 acres of this parcel to Anthony Morse, Jr. "In consideration of a mare and a colt delivered him", which shows the high value of good livestock in relation to the abundance of land. Later that same month Amos bought an additional 4 acres of land, a house, and a barn in Newbury for the sum of 60 pounds. He lived adjacent to the Pine Swamp (south side of Oak-Hill Cemetery) in Newbury on South St (in 1845 called Parker St), but erroneously as West India Lane. Amos and Sarah Stickney had nine children at Newbury between April 1664 and November 1677. Amos died August 29, 1678 at Newbury. The inventory of his estate included such interesting items as "corne in the barne and Indian corne upon the land", "seaven Cowes", a "loame with all tackling for weaveing", "2 iron potts, 2 kettles and 3 Bras [sic] skillets with 5 pewter platers". Also included was "one chamber pot". Andrew Stickney, son of Amos and Sarah, was impressed from Newbury, MA in January 1668 by Gov. Andros to serve in a campaign against the Indians. "Peter Cheny, Nathll Cheny and Amos Stickney of Nubery took oath of fidelity to this common wealth 25:3:1669, before Robert Pike Commissioner." [3, 4]
