Amos Roberts was an Essex County carpenter and landowner. He was a capable political organizer who viewed defending the rights of English land settlers in the American colonies as paramount. In his later years, Roberts and his son Eleazor owned and operated a sawmill and gristmill in Irvington. These mills operated for the purpose of processing grain from the local farmland.
