"Tristram A. Ricker, farmer, born in 1828, is a son of Tristram and Miriam Ricker, and grandson of Noah Ricker, of Waterboro, Me. Tristram Ricker came to Canaan in early life. He had three sons: Henry, Tristram A. and Noah. Tristram A. married Martha, daughter of Stephen Decker. Their only living son is George S.; they have lost three sons and three daughters. Mr. Ricker came to his present farm in Clinton in 1872. He devotes much of his time to building dams, having had some large contracts in that line. His son, George S., has run a feed and saw mill at Pishon's Ferry since 1890. It is on the site of the old Levi Maynard carding mill, built about 1830."
