Thomas Trickey

Thomas Trickey, father of Sarah Trickey, was born about 1614, probably in Devonshire, England, and was in America by 1640.

By occupation he was a shipwright

. He was in Exeter by 1644, in court with his wife in 1646, and in Dover by 1648, where he was a taxpayer and owner of a piece of land called "Trickey's Cove." In 1650 he is recorded as building a 50-ton ship for George Dodd; a lawsuit over this construction is on record. Thomas also was involved in lawsuits in 1652 and 1656. In a 1668 court case he gave his age as "about 54," which is the basis for placing his birth in 1614.

He was a builder and repairer of ships at Dover, NH.

He died in New Hampshire in 1675, aged 59. His estate was inventoried December 3, 1675.

Elizabeth (perhaps Shapleigh), mother of Sarah Trickey, of Dover, NH, was born about 1616 (she gave her age as about 52 in a 1668 court case, saying that she was brought up in the house of Alexander Shapleigh).

Their children are

• Deborah (1645-after 1720),
• Lydia (1650-1721),
• Zachariah (1651-1715),
• Sarah (1661-after 1730),
• Isaac (died 1712),
• Ephriam (died 1701),
• Joseph (died 1713),
• Martha.

Elizabeth was still living when her husband died, receiving his bequest June 27, 1676.

A History of Dover (commissioned by the town)John Scales Dover, NH 1923 p. 52

The first ferry man was Thomas Trickey, the ancestor of the Trickey families of Old Dover and vicinity. Mr. Trickey was one of the first setlers in the Bloody Point section of Old Dover, now Newington, and Captain Th omas Wiggin assigned him a lot in what was known in the nineteenth as t he "Nancy Drew" farm, on the west side of the cove that separates it fo rm the point on which stands the Dover and Portsmouth railway station. He prrobably was there as early as 1636 and resided there until his death

Landmarks in Ancient Dover, New Hampshire by Mary P. Thompson:

"Knight's Ferry - This ferry, under the name of Trickey's Ferry or Bloody Point Ferry, was in operation at an early day. It ran not only from Bloddy Point to Hilton's Point, but also to the Kittery shore, and was originally owned by Thomas Trickey, who was in Dover as early as 1640, and was living at Bloody Pt. before 1657. He died before 1680, in which year, on t he 16th of June, his widow Elizabeth renounced all claim to the Trickey plantation and the ferry belonging to it, in favor of her son Zachariah. Zachariah Trickery of Bloody Point, Aug. 1, 1705, conveyed to John Chevalier, alias Knight, 14 acres of upland at Bloody Point, where ye ferry is kept, part of ye land formerly granted Thomas Trickery, bounded east by Zachariah's homestead, of which this tract was a part, south by the highway going to Nutter's (Welsh Cove), and northwest by other Trickey lands and the 'maine river.' This deed was confirmed Nov. 22, 1705, when mention was made of the boats, 'gondeloes,' and other equipments for the ferry."

From "A Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire"

TRICKEY, Thomas shipwright, Bloody Point, here by 1640; before the court with wife Elizabeth in 1649. Taxed in 1648.

In 1650 George Dodd of Boston sued him over a 4 ton vessel he was building. He sued Michael Brawn in 1652, and sued George Elliot in 1656. His 1656 grant on Bloody Point side was rebounded in 1674 when Trickey's Cove mentioned.

On the Grand jury in 1659. Age 54 in 1668, wife Elizabeth age 52, though she was 64 in May of 1688 when she deposed that she lived with Mr. Alexander Shapleigh in England 52 years earlier (in 1636). Both witnessed about Edward West selling liquor in 1671. Inventory of estate dated Dec. 3, 1675. 

Administration granted to widow June 27, 1676. The whole estate left in her hands for her own comfort and care.

In Dec. 1680 Elihu Gunnison's petition about the estate was filed. Children: (not in order) Isaac, Joseph, Ephraim, Zachariah, Deborah, who married William Shackford; Lydia, who married 1st Edmund Green and m. 2nd Richard Webber; Martha, m. Elihu Gunnison; Sarah, m. Joshua Crockett.

Some say Thomas died when he fell off the Ferry in November of 1675
Thomas Trickey, father of Sarah Trickey, was born about 1614, probab ly in Devonshire, England, and was in America by 1635. By occupation he was a shipwright. He was in Exeter by 1644, in court with his wife in 164 6, and in Dover by 1648, where he was a taxpayer and owner of a piece of land called "Trickey's Cove." In 1650 he is recorded as building a 50-ton ship for George Dodd; a lawsuit over this construction is on record. Thomas also was involved in lawsuits in 1652 and 1656. In a 1668 court case he gave his age as "about 54," which is the basis for placing his birth in 1614. He was a builder and repairer of ships at Dover, NH. He died in New Hampshire in 1675, aged 59. His estate was inventoried December3, 1675.

Sarah trickey was the daughter of the immigrant (Thomas) who arrived,in Sa lem, MA in 1633 from Devonshire England. Thomas was born about 1614. He died in 1675. Sarah's mother was Elizabeth ?  who came to the Colonies from Kingsmore, Devonshire, England some time beween 1636 and 1644. She first lived in the home of Alex Shapleigh at Eliot who was in Kittery as early as 1635. Elizabeth was born about 1616 and died some time after 1688.

Sarah had brothers and sisters: Isaac b.1647, Lydia, b. 1650, Zacharah b. abt. 1651, Martha b. about 1656, Ephraim b. abt 1655, Joseph b. abt. 1657, Eleanor b. 1660. Sarah's father Thomas started a Ferry at Bloody Point. Today that Ferry is immortalized as "Trickey's Ferry" on a roadside plaque in Newington, NH.

Sarah's brother, Zacharia, took over the ferries (by that time there were two ferry routes; one from Dover Point to Bloody Point and the other across the Pascataque to old Kittery),  after the death of his father in 1675 He ran these until 1705, at which time he sold both his farmand his ferries to Capt. John Knight. The Trickeys had this ferry for 70 years.

By 1702, the Hilton Point to Kittery ferry (first owned by this Thomas) was sold to John Chevalier from Jersey Island, England. I cannot yet say which Trickey had part ownership of the ferry at this time; but the other two were named Bickford and Downing. It is interesting that when Joseph, the son of this Thomas died, his wife Rebecca remarried a Downing.

Location: On Shattuck Way, just west of the Route 16/Spaulding Turnpike overpass. That section of Shattuck Way can be accessed by taking Exit 4 off northbound Route 16 before the Sullivan Bridge. Bloody Point is actually on the east side of Route 16. The name “Bloody Point” can be traced back to the early 1630s. Capt. Mason, one of the original Grantees of the NH area had sent over two officers Capt. Wiggins, and Capt. Neal, to manage and run the New Hampshire settlement. Wiggins was responsible for the “upper” settlement, Hilton’s Point, and north, and Neal the “Lower Settlement” Ordiorn’s Point, from today’s Rye and all of today’s Portsmouth and Newington. Wiggin and Neal had a bit of a disagreement over who actually owned this little spit of land. They almost settled it the old fashioned way. Sabers, or Pistols at ten paces … you get the idea. They did peaceably decide, and no blood was really spilled, but the point bears the name of the conflict.

Captain Neal and Captain Wiggin, rival agents, came near shedding blood there, about the possession of the land; " but," says the worthy Mr. Hubbard, " both the litigants had so much wit in their anger as to waive the battle, each accounting himself to have done very manfully in what was threatened ; so as in respect merely of what might have fallen out, the place to this day retains the formidable name of Bloody Point" In 1643, the Bloody Point part was in controversy between Portsmouth and Dover; but it was assigned to Dover.

Trickey’s ferry ran from Bloody Point, across to Hilton’s Point in Dover and also provided passage across the river to “Kittery Neck.” Thomas Trickey owned the farm and land the ferry was on. He died before 1680. The land was eventually purchased by Captain John Knight (a Huguenot who came to the New World for religious freedom) in 1705, who owned and operated the ferry until 1718 or so, then transferred the operation to his son. He was a selectman at Newington in 1721, which was soon recognized as a town.
