"It has been stated that both of the brothers were killed, but this is a mistake. George had a large family afterwards." [This statement is erroneous, as all of his children were born before his death. He had a son, George, which is likely where the confusion arose in this case.]

Cocheco Marsh. This marsh, now for the most part drained, lay at the upper side of Garrison Hill, and extended into the present town of Rollinsford. It is otherwise called the Great Cochecho Marsh and the Great Fresh Marsh. It is mentioned as early as May 2, 1642, when lots of six acres therein were granted to Anthony Emery and Stephen Tedder. Twenty lots of the same size were granted to other Dover settlers June 16, 1648. A path led to this marsh as early as 1648, called the "cartway'," which is the present Garrison Hill road. This marsh is mentioned June 17, 1677, when Wm. Wentworth conveyed to George Ricker "a piece of marsh and swamp-land near Cochecho, near ye lower part of ye marsh commonly called Cochecho Marsh, the lower end butting upon ye northern side of ye brook which doth run out of ye sd marsh upon a little pond by ye sd brook." The only brook that answers to this description is the Styx, which flows through the marsh in the vicinity of No-Bottom pond. Faggoty brook also once drained the neighboring marshes, now for the most part dried up.

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 Indiana; 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.
