The Stickney genealogy, citing the Massachusetts Archives, also says he was in the First Foot Co. of Boxford in 1737, which is clearly wrong, and is likely a typo for 1757.²

     On 10 July 1767 he bought five acres of land in Boxford, Essex Co., Massachusetts, from Nathan Wood for £11.³ On 1 January 1774 he sold woodland in Boxford to John Dresser.⁴ Around that same year he moved to New Ipswich, Hillsborough Co., New Hampshire, where he bought a farm.²
     He and his wife Anna sold the land left to him by his father, and his buildings, to his brother Jedediah for £135 13s 4d on 18 February 1777 (or 1771; Joseph's entry in the Stickney genealogy has the year as 1777, while Jedediah's entry has the year as 1771). Jedediah was also to pay their mother the legacy that Joseph was charged with paying in their father's will.⁵
