ChartsDescendants of Samuel Ricketts
BirthDavid Nichols Ricketts was born on 19 August 1844 at Tennessee (death record.)9 
Birth*He was born on 19 August 1845 at Wayne County, Tennessee.10,11,12,3,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,5,20 
Marriage LicenseHe and Elvira Cornelia Voorhies obtained a marriage license on 30 September 1865 at Wayne County, Tennessee.21 
Marriage LicenseDavid Nichols Ricketts and E. Cronberg obtained a marriage license on 30 September 1869 at Wayne County, Tennessee. There was no return on the marriage record.22 
Marriage*David Nichols Ricketts married first, Elvira Cornelia Voorhies, daughter of Samuel W. Voorhies and Sophia T. Gullick, on 10 October 1869 at Wayne County, Tennessee, by Jas. M. Walker, M.G..21,23 
Marr-Note The marriage records are a bit confusing. In Sep 1865 as marriage license was issued to D.N. Ricketts and E. C. Vorhes, but this marriage was not performed until 10 Oct 1869. On 30 Sep 1869 a marriage license was issued to D.N. Ricketts and E. Cronberg/Cronsis (name hard to read). There was no return for this marriage indicating that it was not solemnized. The 1870 census indicates that David and Elvira were married in Oct 1869. It may be that the minister made a mistake and marked the return for the wrong license. It may be that E. C. Vorhes and E. Cronberg are the same person. I believe D.N. is David N. as he is the only one of that name/initial I have found in that area of Tennessee. His wife's name is Elvira as shown by the census and the gravestones. I found Elvira Voorhies in the 1860 census and her age matches Elvira's. I did not find any Cronberg/Cronsis in Wayne County. 
Marriage LicenseDavid Nichols Ricketts and Mary Francis Dugger obtained a marriage license on 3 January 1900 at Wayne County, Tennessee.24 
Marriage*David Nichols Ricketts married second, Mary Francis Dugger, daughter of Joe Dugger, on 4 January 1900 at Wayne County, Tennessee, by J. R. Churchville J.P..24,25,26,27,28 
Death*David N. Ricketts died on 8 November 1917 at Civil District 6, Wayne County, Tennessee, at age 72 years, 2 months and 18 days.29,30,12,3,31,6 
Burial*He was buried on 9 November 1917 at Dabbs Cemetery, Buffalo Valley, Lewis County, Tennessee, (cemetery is located on the Clyde Tharp Farm.)32,12,3,5

ChartsDescendants of Samuel Ricketts
BirthMary J. Ricketts was born in November 1848 in Tennessee.7,8,9,10,11 
Birth*Another source says she was born on 20 November 1849 in Tennessee.12,13,9,11,14 
BirthAnother source says she was born on 20 November 1852 in Tennessee (death record.)5,13,9,15 
Birth-note I think it is likely that her birth was probably in Nov 1859. In the 1850 census she is age 7/12 which would indicate a birth in Dec 1849. However, the census date was supposed to be 1 Jun 1850 and the actual enumeration for the family was not until Sep 1850. Consequently an error in the month is a clear possibility. The cemetery information indicates her birth to be Nov 1848. But the photo of the stone looks like it is a recent stone and not an original stone from 1917. Her death record gives her birth as 20 Nov 1852 in Tennessee. This year is unlikely as she is in the 1850 census and the 1860 census, supports the birth given in 1860. 
Marriage LicenseShe and John W. Voss obtained a marriage license on 8 October 1868 at Wayne County, Tennessee.16 
Marriage*M. J. Ricketts married J. W. Ross on 11 October 1868 at Wayne County, Tennessee, by Tucldig Ainding(?).16,17,18 
Num Child*Mary J. had thirteen children, four still living in 1910.19 
Widowed*She was widowed by the death of her husband, John W. Voss before 15 April 1910.19 
Death*Mary J. Ricketts died of tuberculocis on 30 August 1917 at Civil District 4, Lewis County, Tennessee, at age 64 years, 9 months and 10 days (this calculates to a birth in 1852.)5,10,20 
Grave*The gravestone at McClain Cemetery, Lewis County, Tennessee, reads:

     VOSS
NOV.     1849
AUG.     1917.10
BurialShe was buried at McClain Cemetery, Lewis County, Tennessee, (The death record says she was buried at Mount Pleasant, but the stone is at McClain Cemetery which is west of Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant is in Maury County ant the McClain Cemetery is in Lewis County.)7,10

MotherSophia T. Gullick2,1 b. 20 Oct 1823, d. 14 Jul 1897?
ChartsDescendants of Samuel Ricketts
Birth*Elvira Cornelia Voorhies was born on 23 March 1851 at Wayne County, Tennessee.3,4,5,6,7 
BirthShe was born on 23 May 1851.8 
Birth-note (Both birth dates are from the gravestone. The earlier date was read first and the stone may have been easier to read.) 
Marriage LicenseShe and David Nichols Ricketts obtained a marriage license on 30 September 1865 at Wayne County, Tennessee.9 
Marriage*Elvira Cornelia Voorhies married David Nichols Ricketts, son of William S. Ricketts and Anna Mc Bride, on 10 October 1869 at Wayne County, Tennessee, by Jas. M. Walker, M.G..9,10 
Marr-Note The marriage records are a bit confusing. In Sep 1865 as marriage license was issued to D.N. Ricketts and E. C. Vorhes, but this marriage was not performed until 10 Oct 1869. On 30 Sep 1869 a marriage license was issued to D.N. Ricketts and E. Cronberg/Cronsis (name hard to read). There was no return for this marriage indicating that it was not solemnized. The 1870 census indicates that David and Elvira were married in Oct 1869. It may be that the minister made a mistake and marked the return for the wrong license. It may be that E. C. Vorhes and E. Cronberg are the same person. I believe D.N. is David N. as he is the only one of that name/initial I have found in that area of Tennessee. His wife's name is Elvira as shown by the census and the gravestones. I found Elvira Voorhies in the 1860 census and her age matches Elvira's. I did not find any Cronberg/Cronsis in Wayne County. 
Death*Elvira Cornelia Voorhies died on 9 August 1898 at age 47.11,1 
BurialShe was buried at Churchwell Graveyard, Lewis County, Tennessee.11 
BurialShe was buried at Dabbs Cemetery, Buffalo Valley, Lewis County, Tennessee, (cemetery is located on the Clyde Tharp Farm.)8,1
