Samuel Stickney of Bradford apparently died. His inventory was taken on 25 March 1715. His estate was complicated to settle and there are 53 documents in his estate papers. His widow Mary Stickney posted bond on his estate on 4 April 1715. On 7 May 1716 an account of administration was presented; on the back of this sheet are calculations and a list of names: widow Mary, Thomas, Elizabeth, Abraham, Jonathan, Richard and Dorothy. The same day, the judge of probate appointed a committee to set off one-third [for the widow] and to appraise the other two-thirds [so it could be divided] and Thomas Stickney posted a bond for the administration of the real estate. The estate papers include bonds posted the same day by Thomas Stickney requiring him to pay shares to his brothers Samuel, Abraham, Jonathan, Richard and his sisters Sarah, Mary, and Dorothy. There also bonds posted in 1722 requiring Samuel to pay shares to his brothers Jonathan, Thomas, Abraham, and Richard, and his sister Dorothy. [6]
