| Notes |
- A captain in Cromwell's Parliamentarian army who, accompanying the expedition under Admiral William Penn and Venables, was present at the conquest of Jamicia in 1655, and subsequently obtained the command of Bluefield's fort on the island. His commission having been made out in the name of Ricketts, he and his descendants ever since have retained that spelling of the name." (Burke)
William lived in Ridgeland, Jamicia and later moved to Jersey, USA in1665. He owned vast holdings in Jamicia and Maryland. William (Ricards) Ricketts, served with Cromwell's army during the British civil war. This places him in the army opposing his father. William was reported to have married twice. It is believed that his marriage was in 1656, wife unknown, and his second marriage was to Mary Goodwin in 1672. Goodwin's are listed in Maryland as early as 1638.
