Notes
However, I do show Rezin Ricketts as the son of Jeremiah Ricketts and Polly Cole. However, I do not have any information on other children of Jeremiah and Polly. Nor do I have any information on the children of this Rezin Ricketts. (see attached pedigree)
Working with your information and census records for Rezin Ricketts in Hancock County for 1850, 1860 and 1870, it appears that the children of Rezin Ricketts, son of Jeremiah Ricketts, were connected to a different Rezin Ricketts. I will be updating my records shortly.
