Neal,
As near as I can tell, Amaziah is the correct name.The gravestones in the Hillside
Cemetery in Stephentown are marked Amaziah & Amaziah C. Carrier. Looking at the U.S.
census spellings, they appear to be Amasiah - with an "s" where the
"z" should have been., although if you search for Amariah, it'll show up in
the census from Stephentown in the early 1800s. I have a document handed down from my
maternal grandmother, Lavinnia J. (nee Gray) Carrier entitled "The Kneeland
Genealogies" & in it the only spelling is with a "z" . I did some
"One World Tree" searches last night & the Kneeland info jives with
what's in there... Hope this helps!
