Let me wade into this and anyone please feel free to correct me, I also once and for all like to see this answered > Got a problem I need solved. I have three Joseph Ricketson's in my files. > # 1 m. Dora Ann Griffis b. 28 Jan. 1855, d/o Kindred. No dates on Joseph. Who are his parents and birth date? I show Dora Ann the dau. of Kindred and Tobitha Sears and she married Joseph about 1873, he was the son of Allen Ricketson and Luraney Sears, he was born 7 Feb. 1828, he and Dora were first cousins. Dora's mother and Josephs mother were sisters and daughters of David Sears and Levicey Nobles. > > #2 m. Serena ??? no dates on either. Joseph, s/o Timothy. Who is Serena and when was this Joseph born? This is Serena Foy, she and Joseph were the parents of Allen and grandparents of the Joseph above that married Dora Ann Griffis > > #3 m. Rachel Gillis, d/o Angus. Joseph b. 1828, s/o Allen Carver Ricketson. Does any one have any dates on Rachel, siblings, etc.This last one and I have no faith in this at all, I show this Joseph to be the same one that married Dora Ann Griffis, Rachel as a second wife with no dates or supporting documentation. Can any one add to this or disprove any of it. Steve Hill > > Thanks for any help on these. > > Joyce
