    [309] It has been stated that both of the brothers were killed, but this is a mistake.

    [464] Maturin is said (p. 309,) to have been unmarried when killed, but from Dover land records it appears that a Joseph was "son to Maturin Ricker," -- that this Joseph married Elizabeth Garland, 16 Nov. 1720, and had chil. -- John, b. 28 Aug. 1721; Sarah, b. 3 Feb. 1723-4. This Joseph must be, I think, the one whom your correspondent calls a brother to Maturin and George; at any rate there is no other Joseph to be found at that period.

    [48] Peter Coffin conveyed to Maturin Ricker, Dec. 26, 1682, 12 acres at the lower end of the marsh commonly called Cochecha marsh in Dover, bounded S. by a brook of water which issues out of said marsh, and N.E. by a small stream of water which doth empty itself into said brook. A final division of Cochecho marsh was made by a vote of the town Apr. 16, 1722.

    [85] Golding's Bridge. Mentioned Dec. 21, 1721, when Maturin Ricker's grant in the "Trunnel country" was laid out to his son Joseph on the "east side of a way that leads from Quamphegan to goldins bridge." This name may be a corruption of Gooding.

    [256] Trunnel Country. Mentioned June 23, 1701, when Maturin Ricker had a grant of 30 acres "up in the Trunnill Contrey." It was laid out to his son Joseph Dec. 4, 1721, "at a place called the Trunnill countrey-- on the east side of a way that leads from Quamphegan to gildins bridge."
