RICKER  FAMILY. 


Two  brothers,  George  and  Maturin  Ricker  came  from  England 
to  Dover,  N.  H.  George  appeared  there  in  1670  and  was  first 
taxed  in  1672  at  Cocheco.  Tradition  in  the  family  says  that  he 
came  over  with  old  Parson  Reyner,  and  at  his  expense ;  and  that, 
after  repaying  the  Parson,  his  next  earnings  went  to  get  his 
younger  brother,  Maturin,  over.  Maturin  was  not  taxed  in  1672, 
and  the  next  lists  are  lost.  But  as  to  the  Reyner  matter,  the  difiS- 
culty  is  that  the  Parson  came  over  in  1635,  and  died  early  in  1669. 
However,  he  owned  landed  property  in  England,  and  perhaps  this 
tradition  may  give  a  clue  to  the  Rickers  as  to  tho  place  George 
came  from.  George  settled  in  what  is  now  Rolling sford,  near  the 
Wentworth  property.  In  fact,  he  and  John  Wentworth  (the 
Elder^s  son)  traded  in  land  somewhat.  Maturin  must  have  lived 
near.  Both  of  them,  George  and  Maturin,  were  killed  by  the 
Indians  June  4,  1706.  The  original  Journal  of  Rev.  John  Pike, 
who  was  the  minister  at  Dover,  which  is  in  the  Library  of  the 
Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  says,  under  date  of  June  4, 
1706:  "George  Riccar  and  Maturin  Riccar,  of  Cocheco,  were 
slain  by  the  Indians  ;  George  was  killed  while  running  up  the  lane 
near  the  garrison ;  Maturin  was  killed  in  his  field,  and  his  little 
son  [Noah]  carried  away."  The  "garrison"  was  Heard's,  which 
stood  in  the  garden  of  the  late  Friend  Bangs.  The  "  lane"  was 
the  now  cross  road  just  at  the  southern  base  of  Garrison  Hill. 

George  Ricker  married  Eleanor  Evans.  Her  father  had  been 
killed  by  the  Indians;  doubtless  the  "Mr.  Evans"  whom  Pike 
mentions  as  killed  in  the  massacre,  in  a  time  of  profound  peace. 
Rebecca  Ricker  is  now  living  in  Lebanon,  Me.,  whose  grandfather 
was  ten  years  old  when  his  father,  the  emigrant,  was  killed,  and 
much  older  wheii^his  mother,  that  Eleanor  Evans,  died.  Rebecca 

Note. — A  large  proportion  of  these  records  were  obtained  by  those  employed  by  Hon. 
John  Wentwort5\n  gathering  mateeials  for  the  Wentworth  Genealogy,  and  were  pub- 
lished in  the  Dover  Enquirer  by  Dr.  A.  H.  Quint  of  Dover.  We  have  been  able  to  make 
important  additions  to  the  Maine  families  and  to  correct  some  typographical  and  other 
errors.    It  is  quite  probable  that  errors  still  exist,  though  we  trust  they  are  few. — Ed.

says  that  the  Indians  chained  Mr.  Evans  to  Mr.  Waldron^s  barn 
as  they  set  it  on  fire,  and  he  was  burned  to  death.  She  also  says 
that  Eleanor's  brother  was  killed  at  that  time,  and  records  sustain 
her  assertion  ;  but  this  may  not  be  quite  correct,  inasmuch  as  a 
young  John  Evans  appears  by  other  documents,  to  have  been 
taken  prisoner  then,  who  died  a  captive  not  long  after.  He  was 
doubtless  supposed  to  be  among  the  killed. 

George  Ricker^  by  his  wife  Eleanor  had  nine  children,  as  follows : 

3  i  Judith,  b.  Feb.  1,  1681.  She  was  once  a  captive.  Pike  says,  26  July,  1696: 
"  Being  sacrament  day.  An  Ambush  of  Indians  laid  between  Capt  Ger- 
rish's  field  and  Tobias  Hanson's  orchard,  shot  upon  the  poor  people  return- 
ing from  Meeting,  killed  Nicholas  Otis,  Mary  Downs,  and  Mary  Jones. 
Wounded  Richard  Otis,  Anthony  Lowden,  and  Experience  Heard,  took 
John  Tucker,  Nicholas  Otis's  wife  and  Judith  Riccar."  Belnap  adds  that 
the  captives  were  taken  to  Penobscot,  but  they  soon  found  their  way  home. 
This  ambush  was  almost  precisely  where  the  Congregational  church  stands. 
Judith  was  home  again  14  April,  1699,  for  on  that  day  Parson  Pike  mar- 
ried her  to  Thomas  Home.  She  had  four  children,  Sarah,  Ichabod, 
Thomas,  and  William,  and  was  ancestress  of  various  Home  families  still 
flourishing.  But  she  died,  and  he  married  Esther  somebody,  and  had  five 
more  children. 

t  4  ii     John,  b.  April  1,  1682. 

5  iii  Mary,  b.  March  22,  1685;  m.  William  Twombly,  son  of  John,  and  grandson 
of  the  emigrant  Ralph.  She  was  with  her  father  when  he  was  killed,  but, 
although  fired  upon,  she  escaped  by  rapid  running.

too,  was  killed  by  the  Indians,  30  June,  1709.  She  married,  2d,  an  Ab- 
bott, and  had  several  children.  By  her  first  marriage  she  had  only  Debo-

College.
