Stickney Family
May 14, 2008 by lwoodman28
William Stickney came from England in 1637, and was among the first settlers in Rowley, Mass., in 1639. His son, Amos, settled in Newbury. A descendant, two or three generations later, named John, came to Epping. He had a son, Amos, a farmer and tailor. Two twin daughters married in Raymond, Mary to John Holman, Susan to Joseph Tilton. Their husbands having died, Mary married Joseph Brown in the Gile district, and Susan, Joseph Brown on the Harriman Road. Amos Stickney, of Epping, son of the first Amos there, had three daughters married in Raymond. Belinda married Jonathan Woodman, Caroline M. married John W. Robie, and Elizabeth married Elbridge G. Brown.
Reuben Stickney lived in Raymond in the time of the Revolutionary war, and went into service. On some of the army rolls his name is spelled “Sticknee.” He lived on the road about half a mile beyond Martin V. B. Gile’s, on land owned by the Curriers. Remains of the cellar and orchard are still seen.
John Stickney, brother of the first Amos of Epping, lived here a year or two, and died, March 30, 1835, of small pox, aged 66. He was buried in the pasture of David Page, not far from the Nay house. He had been a ship carpenter.
