Biography
Priscilla was a daughter of Joseph Rickard and his wife Deborah (Millar) Rickard. Priscilla was born at Plympton, Massachusetts, on 21 January 1709/10.[1]
"Preselah(?) Rickard was born Jen'y (January) 21 1709/10"
Some genealogies show Priscilla's birth name as "Richard," possibly because of differences of opinion on the interpretation of handwritten records.
