Biography
sourced from Richard Estey II on Miner Descent website
Amos Estey was born 28 Aug 1759 in Rowley, Mass. Amos's parents were Richard Estey II and Hannah HAZEN. He resided in Rowley, Mass until 1764 when his parents and grandparents relocated to a settlement on the St John's River in New Brunswick Canada called Maugerville. Three generations of our Estey ancestors immigrated, Richard – age 58, Richard Jr. – age 36 and Amos – age 5. They were New England Planters.
In 1785 Amos Estey was residing at Burton, in the County of Sunbury, New Brunswick, on ungranted Crown land. On July l3th of that year the following petition or memorial was forwarded to Governor Thomas Carleton re questing a Crown Grant of the property he occupied : " Whereas your Excellency's humble petitioner has been in peaceful and quiet possession of Lott No.13 Mr. Beadle's survey in Burton these four years past and comfortably improved the same. Therefore your Excellency's humble petitioner prays that the said lott might be Granted to your petitioner in consideration of my improvements and possession as in your Excellency's great wisdom shall seem mete so that your Excellency's humble petitioner may get readiness in the premises and your petitioner as in duty bound will ever pray. "
Amos Estey Amos Estey was successful in obtaining a one half interest in the above described Lot No. 13 at Burton. The land at Burton was sold and the family moved farther up the Saint John River to the Keswick Valley. On April 4, 1789, Amos Estey purchased Lot No. 73 from the original grantee, Samuel Lobdell. This 194 acre parcel of land borders on the Madam Keswick Stream, in the said Keswick Valley. Nine years later, on March 4, 1798, this property was conveyed to another early settler, Joseph Burt. On October 4th, 1799, Peter Campbell had been granted Lot No. 75, a five hundred acre tract of land in the original Kingsclear Grants, bordering on the southern shore of the Saint John River above Fredericton. Most of this grant was heavily forested wilderness, however, the land adjacent to the river was rich lowland suitable for cultivation. On March 12th, 1801, Peter Campbell deeded this large tract of land to Amos Estey who farmed the property after clearing more fertile land, and remained there the remainder of his lifetime.[1]
Amos married his first cousin, Mary (Molly) ESTEY on 25 Nov 1787 in New Brunswick. Amos died on 13 Nov 1833 in Kingsclear, York, New Brunswick.
Mary (Molly) Estey was born 5 Jul 1767 in Sheffield, Sunbury County, New Brunswick. Her parents were Zebulon ESTEY and Mary BROWN. Mary died 5 Jun 1844 in Kingsclear, York County, New Brunswick.

CMcGehee, RSchaffer, TJEstey, FIBrewer, JCHatt The TJEstey account has Amos' death as 05 Jan 1844 in Kingsclear
In this record Marked No797 dated March 4 1798 Amos and his wife Molley Estey are recorded as having sold some property known as Lot#73 to Joseph Burt. They had purchased this Lot earlier from Samuel Loldell marked No421 dated April 4 1789.
This record shows Amos Estey and Mary his wife sell Lot #75 in Kingsclear Parish which they had bought Oct 4 1799 from Peter Campbell marked No683 to John Vance and his wife Lucy. This land transaction is dated May 13 1822.
At least they made a profit on the land as they purchased Lot #75 for 42 pounds 6 shillings, 8 pence and sold it for 100 pounds; however I am sure they would have made improvements on the land and most likely had building and things of that nature. It would have most likely been a fair trade for their efforts in the improvements of the property.
It seems as though Amos and Mary Estey of the Parish of Kingsclear, farmer, were liquidating their property as we find another sale of land to William Estey marked No2658, Dated May 29 1822. William Estey bought Lot #47 in St. Mary's, York County, NB., containing 200 acres for 35 pounds.
So where did Amos and Molley live after 1822? Perhaps they lived with one of their children. They had reached the age of retirement and may have decided to help out their grandchildren by spending time with them. We do see that some of the Grandchildren are mentioned in the Will even though not by name but by their parent's name.
The Brewer book "A Dutch-English Odyssey" pg 116 states that Richard & Hannah's 5th child was named James and he insists that this is correct as it is entered in a family bible of that time. Entered as James not Amos. All other accounts have the name to be Amos.
Researcher George Estey has since been provided a copy of that Bible page and have been able to use a program to clean up noise from the copy. This clears up the mystery for him as the person who scribed the names of that generation used a swirl or loop in front of each name. This swirl looks much like a capitol "J" and the name Amos being placed very close behind makes the name look like James.It is really J Amos. The "J" being just a form of decoration in front of each name. (George Warren Estey 12 Nov 2002)
"The River St. John" by Rev. Wm. Raymond published in 1910, pages 334-5:
"On 15 January 1765 on Captain Francis Peabody's schooner, came Zebulon Estey to Maugerville. He paid 12 shillings passage money from Newburyport to St. John and 13s 6d for 'his club of Cyder' on the voyage. Richard Estey and Thomas Barker built a saw-mill on a small creek near Middle Island. (After 1765.) They sold it in 1779 – near Maugerville. Richard Estey signed a church covenant for a distinct church society. Many moved from Maugerville due to the annoyance of the spring freshets. [A sudden overflow of a stream resulting from a heavy rain or a thaw] Zebulon Estey moved to Gagetown. Some went across the river to the township of Burton. These included Israel Estey, Moses Estey and Amos Estey."
Excerpt from a report written about Sunbury County to Major George Studholm, Commander at Fort Howe St John River, June 30 1783
" Amos Esty, a single man has improved about 4 or 5 acres of land which is partly cleared, and provided some materials for building."
