Maturin and Hannah Ricker Aug. 29, 1721, conveyed to Richard Gooding 12 acres, part of a 20 acre grant to Joshua Cromwell, and laid out to said Maturin Dec. 14, 1720, on the north side of the way from Cochecho to Salmon falls, and two acres more on the south side of said way, beginning at an elm tree standing by a bridge. This was no doubt Golding or Ricker's bridge. (See Fresh Creek Woods.)
Maturin Ricker conveyed to Gershom Wentworth, Oct. 27, 1729, twelve acres of land on the easterly side of the road from Cochecho to Salmon falls, beginning at an elm tree near a certain bridge called Ricker's bridge, and running S. by E. to Joseph Ricker's fence, and thence easterly to Jeremiah Rawlin's fence. This bridge was no doubt across French creek brook, now Rollins' brook.
