In February of 1771, John Estey bought a parcel of land in Stoughton, County of Suffolk, Province of Massachusetts Bay. This parcel of land embraced a portion of Mowhawk Meadow which yielded iron ore for Paul Revere to cast cannon for the colinsts. George W. Estey has copy of deed and land survey for this Mowhawk Meadow. His brother John S. Estey has the original.
The copy of the Land Survey is shown below:
In 1792 John purchased more land in what had, at that time, become Sharon, County on Suffolk, Commonwealth of Massachusetts - a portion of the town of Stoughton having become Sharon. The passing years had also brought the change from Province to Commonwealth.
In 1802 John, Yeoman of Sharon, County of Norfolk ( A change in county name) conveys some 30 acres of land to Jeremiah Estey
John's gravesite is located in a small cemetary at 385 E. Foxboro Rd. in Sharon, MA. His gravestone reads: In Memory of John Estey who died Nov. 27 1811 in the 78th year of his age.
