LEWIS BARBER (Ricard's Bill), having served in the late war and is a Protestant. (L. J. XVI, 519.) Does anyone know what Ricard's Bill was? Googling brings up a number of entries for Bill Ricard, but none that I can see for Ricard's Bill. The entry in the Lord's Journal vol XVI does not refer to Ricard's Bill. I assume the War was the "nine year war", has any lister found any records that list those who fought in this war? Thank you Dave Barber from North Devon.
