Descendants of William Stickney
Descendants of William Stickney
First Generation
1. William Stickney-[98129863] , son of William Stickney -[98129865] and Margaret Pierson -[98129867], was born on 9 Mar 1585 in Frampton, Lincolnshire, England, was christened on 6 Sep 1592 in Frampton, Lincolnshire, England, died on 21 Jan 1665 in Rowley, Essex, Massachusetts, at age 79, and was buried on 25 Jan 1665 in Rowley, Essex, Massachusetts.
General Notes: William Stickney was the ancestor of nearly all the Stickneys in America. It is inferred from records in England that he was the son of William Stickney of Frampton who was baptized, 30 December 1558, and married, 16 June 1585, Margaret Peirson, and the grandson of Robert Stickney of Frampton who made his will October 3rd and was buried 18 October 1582. St. Mary's Church parish register contains many records of baptisms, marriages and burials of Stickney's from 1558 to 1609. The name does not appear on these records after this date. Tradition and information obtained in England infer that the family moved to Hull, England, or its vicinity. His son, Samuel, in a deposition in 1698, named some of the passengers on the ship with them who settled in Rowley, but nothing further.
The first record of William Stickney in New England is found in the records of the First Church in Boston,
"The 61 of ye 11th moneth 1638
William Stickney a husbandman & Elizabeth his wife,
Margaret Crosse a Widdowe
Michaell Hopkinson servant to our brother Jacob Elyott &
Richard Swanne a husbandman"
"The 24th day of ye 9th Moneth 1639 Our brethren Mr. Henry Sandys, William Stickney, Richard Swanne & Michaell Hopkinson by ye Churches Silence were dismissed to ye gathering of a Church at Rowley if the Lord so please."
William Stickney and his wife, Elizabeth and their children Samuel, Amos and Mary (who were baptized in England) were among the original settlers of Rowley, Massachusetts. His lot was one and one-half acres and here he built a house on the corner of Bradford and Wethersfield Streets. He brought with him to this country a quarto copy of King James' translation of the Bible, first edition, printed 1611. The old homestead and this Bible descended from father to son to Deacon Nathaniel Stickney of Dracut who in 1868 owned the Bible which was still in good condition. This Bible was used at the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the settlement of Rowley.
In various records, we find the following:
"On the seventh of October 1640, Mr. Samu. Dudley, Josias Cobbitt, Edmond Gardner, James Barcker, Henry Sands, Rob't Hunter and William Stickney were admitted Freemen." (Colonial Records.)
"William Stickney was a member of a committee in 1652 to draw up a covenant and agreement between the town of Rowley and the first settlers of the Merrimack lands, now Bradford. (See Rowley Records.)
William was Clerk of the Market, and on Jury of Trials in 1653, Selectman 1656 and 1661, also in 1661 styled Lieutenant.
"The ancient possession books of Rowley contain frequent grants of land to him. Because of the loss of a part of the early business records of the town, the amount of land he and his sons were entitled to and some of the offices they held are unknown. There was granted to him land in "Bradford Streete field," "Batcheler's Meadow," "Rough Meadow," and "Pollipod field."
Town records show that he was buried 25 January 1664/5. He left a will, the original was still preserved in 1869 (folded and filed) in the Essex Probate Office at Salem. The total inventory of his estate amounted to 416 pounds. Elizabeth Stickney survived her husband several years as she made a deposition on behalf of her daughter, Mary, and Mary's husband, James Barker, that is on file at the Essex Probate Office. In the deposition in September, 1678, she referred to herself as "aged about 70". The date of her death is not known.
On the two hundredth anniversary of the death of William Stickney, a granite obelisk was erected on his grave which my parents saw in 1989 when they visited the cemetery.
William and his wife, Elizabeth (Dawson) Stickney, had thirteen children, the six oldest born in England and whose baptism records are found in the parish register of Cottingham, Yorkshire, England; the rest born in Rowley, MA:
John, bpt. 30 Aug. 1629. Probably died young, as there is no record of him coming to America with his parents.
Samuel, bpt. 6 March 1630/1; m. (1) Julian Swan; m. (2) Prudence Gage.
Daniel, bpt. 7 Oct. 1632; buried 9 Oct. 1632.

Second Generation (Children)
2. Amos Stickney-[98129710] (William1) was born in 1635 in Cottingham, Yorkshire, England, was christened on 11 Feb 1637 in Cottingham, Yorkshire, England, and died on 27 Aug 1678 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, at age 43.
General Notes: Amos came with his father and mother from England to Rowley, MA, when he was a child. As a young adult, Amos was trained as a weaver by his father. His father, by giving him a part of his own estate, helped Amos get established in the weaving trade in the adjoining town of Newbury, MA. Amos took the oath of Fidelity there on "25 of ye 3 mo. 1669," (which would likely be 25 May 1669, according to the calendar then in use) was given grants of land, and bought buildings and land for his own use throughout the years.
Amos and his wife Sarah (Morse) Stickney had nine children, all born in Newbury, MA. A hand written note in the margin of page 22 in a book written in Salem in 1869 by Matthew Adams Stickney titled Genealogical Memoirs of the Stickney Family and found in the library of the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston, said, "Mary, b. 1678, was not born when her father's will was made. She married Nov. 13 1699 Daniel Pettingill." It is not known who wrote this note or in which year the note was written. We have not found any evidence to prove this information correct. However, the dates seem to fit the age of the Mary Stickney who married Daniel Pettengill, so we have included her with the family of Amos and Sarah (Morse) Stickney. Her birth would make ten the total number of children born to this couple.
Amos married ²Sarah Morse³-[98129711] [MRIN:43830976], daughter of ²Anthony Morse³-[98129726] and ²Ann Cox³-[98129727], on 24 Jun 1663 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts.
