Biography

Probate

Theophilus Rickard, of Plympton, yeoman died intestate and on 7 January 1782, Elijah Bisbee of Plympton was granted the administration of his estate.[1]

His inventory was taken on 11 January 1782 in Plympton. In November 1782, his real estate was appraised again. It was found that the real estate could not be divided with prejudice or would spoil the whole, so by law, it was settled upon the eldest son, Jonathan Rickard, who agreed to pay the other children their share, viz., Lemuel, Theophilus, Samuel, Simeon, Hannah, Betty, Rebecca, Slyvia, and Ruth. An account of his estate by Elijah Bisbee Jr., was recorded which included debts paid, gravestones, and administration fees. [2]

In 1782, his children, Simeon Rickard, Ruth Rickard, Samuel Rickard, and Theophilus Rickard all above the age of 14 years, made the choice of James Harlow of Plympton to be their guardian.[3]
