This is from "The Descendants of Jonas Ricks" by Donald Milton Ricks published 1998. Thomas Ricks, born about 1750, died 13 September 1789 per his nuncupative will record showing Abraham Ricks and father-in-law Rowland Williams, executors. Wife Priscilla Williams. Priscilla's father, Rowland Williams, was guardian of her son, (a) Alexander Urban Ricks and (b) Milberry Ricks. Priscilla married (2) George Grissel or Griswald, by 1794. An original North Carolina Supreme Court case that came before the Spring Circuit of 1821 states that Rowland Williams devise by his will his estate receipts between his son Pilgrim L. Williams and his daughters, Diana, Charity, and Elizabeth, and the lawful begotten heirs of his daughter Priscilla. The headline of his case shows Micajah Ricks and Milberry, his wife: Thomas and Tealke Ricks vs. Pilgrim L. Williams and Wilson Taylor, executors of Rowland Williams. Tealke and Thomas Ricks were orphans of Irwin Ricks, evidently the son of Micajah Ricks (probably Jr., who died between 1841 - 48) and his wife Milberry. Irwin died about 1816 and Micajah Ricks was guardian of Teakle and Thomas 1824-27. The guardian records also show returns from the estate of Martha Williams. Thomas Ricks married Sally Taylor 26 June 1832. Thomas was the son of Benjamin Ricks and Patience Helty. e.proefke@verizon.net wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VUB.2ACE/645 > > Message Board Post: > > I am researching George Henderson Ricks,b Dec. 13,1831 in Nash Co.
