John Lickley (Likley, Likely) was a tenant of Col. Beverly Robinson, under the system of rental practised in the manors before the Revolutionary War. Actual sale of lands in fee to settlers was rare, it being that the persons residing upon the land did not acquire possession of the soil until the Revolution
brought about the disintegration of the manors.
He purchased on 27 Oct 1783 from the Commissioners of Forfeiture 96 3/4 acres of land in Philipse Precinct "already in his possession", to which he added 87 acres on 19 Apr 1787, 276 acres on 16 Apr 1795, and small lots from Abraham Baker and Levi Owens in 1797.
He was an educated man, town clerk of Philipstown and a man of local infleuence in Dutchess County (now Putnam County).
He appears to have been a Presbyterian and a friend of Rev Silas Constant.

When you come here, my grave to view
As you are now, I once was too
But sudden death has brought me here
To follow me, my friends prepare.
