1. JOSEPH5 RICKETSON (TIMOTHY4, TIMOTHY3, JONATHAN2, WILLIAM1) was born 1784 in Burke Co, GA, and died 1820 in Montgomery Co, GA. He married SERENA FOY Jul 17, 1806 in Tattnall Co, GA, daughter of GEORGE FOY and SARAH MOORE. She was born 1786 in NC, and died 1856 in Coffee County, GA.Notes for JOSEPH RICKETSON: Joseph's mother was almost certainly named Purdence and her surname may have been Fisher. No other information about his mother can be found. He was the great great grandson of William Ricketson, the emigrant. William Ricketson's mother may have been Elizabeth, a widow. All the Ricketsons and Rickersons in America may have descended from this William. I have not been able to determine the origin of the Ricketson name. Joseph was born in Burke Co, GA. His grandfather, Timothy Ricketson, Sr. left a will in Richmond Co, GA in which he left property to Timothy, Jr., Joseph's father. Some say Joseph may have been born in NC as the family seems to have been there before moving to GA. Joseph's father, Timothy married a second time to Mary Wilkins and moved to Kentucky leaving Joseph and his other son Abraham in GA. Abraham seems to have settled through the middle part of GA while Joseph settled in the southern part known as the Wiregrass Area. Joseph's half siblings who lived in Kentucky changed their name to Rickerson. Joseph's children stayed in Wiregrass, Georgia although his grandchildren spread out from Florida to Texas. Joseph was a shoemaker and farmer. He was justice of the peace in Tatnall and Montgomery counties. Have not found any reference to Joseph being in the R.W. but he was certainly old enough to have served in the war of 1812. I found the following listing for the 1821 land lottery in Georgia. 1821 Land Lottery GA - Rabb - Snelling Joseph died before the 1820 census was taken and after Oct 15, 1818 when he witnessed a deed. Notes for SERENA FOY: Serena was previously married to Needham Arnold by whom she had one son, James Arnold. Serena's last three children were fathered by a neighbor, David Sears. Serena
and David Sears were charged with adultery in the courts. The three children
took the Ricketson name. Serena may have been Indian. Children of JOSEPH RICKETSON and SERENA FOY are: (JOSEPH5, TIMOTHY4, TIMOTHY3, JONATHAN2, WILLIAM1) was born 1807 in Tattnal Co, GA, and died Nov 16, 1855 in Coffee Co, GA. He married LURANEY SEARS 1826 in Montgomery Co, GA., daughter of DAVID SEARS and LAVINIA STONE. She was born Abt. 1811, and died 1882 in Coffee Co, GA. Notes for ALLEN RICKETSON: Allen was a farmer. Six of his sons moved to Texas: Joseph, Benjamin, Hiram, Eli, Aaron, and David. Ivy was killed in the Civil War. Manning served in the Civil War, was a prisoner in Indiana and the hospital in Richmond, VA. Although I don't think he died during the war I've not been able to find him after 1860 when he was in Ware Co, GA age 20 and married to Amanda age 17. Children of ALLEN RICKETSON and LURANEY SEARS are:

Notes for LUCY PETERSON: By 1870 Lucy and Samuel Prescott had moved to Manatee County, Florida. By 1900 the County had changed to De Sota. They raised their family there and in 1900 Lucy was still living next door to son, Hiram. More About LUCY PETERSON: Notes for SAMUEL EVERETT PRESCOTT: By 1850 the family had moved to Alachua County, Florida, but Samuel moved to Clinch County, Georgia where he married Lucy Peterson, daughter of James and Rachel Peterson. Samuel and family are listed on the 1860 census for Echols County, Georgia. He probably did not move. The Counties probably changed boundries. He served as Echols County's first tax collector from 1856 until 1861. In 1866 Samuel moved his family to the Joshua Creek settlement in Manatee County, Florida. He lived there about 3 years and then moved a little north to the Crewesville community (Now Sebring). In 1870 and 1880 Samuel is listed on the census record for Manatee County, Florida. At only 13 years of age in 1837 Samuel Prescott served in Capt. Samuel Swilley's Company, 2nd Florida Militia. In 1839-1840 he served as corporal in Capt. David R. Bryan's Company, Georgia Militia, during the Indian Wars. On March 10, 1861 Samuel enlisted as a private in Company C, 7th Florida Infantry Regiment C. S. A. He was in the battles of Chicamaugua and Missionary Ridge, and the battle of Atlanta. His regiment was with General Robert E. Lee's army at the surrender at Appomattox in 1865.
