"Amos lived for a time in Oneida County, New York, but moved to what was then Allegheny County, New York, where he was a first settler ca. 1815-6 in the eastern part of the town of Eagle, now Wyoming County. Here Amos kept an Inn and also built the first sawmill on Wiscoy Creek at Lyonsburgh. He operated the first distillery and enjoyed a thriving business especially among the Indians. The first post office was established ca. 1820 Harlow (his oldest son) was the first post rider and continued for a number of years."
- from John Huntley, immigrant of Boston & Roxbury, Massachusetts and Lyme, Connecticut, 1647-1977, and some of his descendants by Virgil Huntley (1978)

He returned to New York soon thereafter to arrange some business, and died there. He left his wife with seven small children in Ohio.
