413Mary Ann Ricks is a daughter of 826James Ricks, as proven by his will:1


826James Ricks' will proves that 413Mary Ann was his daughter, and that she married 412Abishai Horn. Full page.1

Her mother was one of 1654Kallum Ross' two daughters, either Jude or Ann, but I'm not certain which. See a more detailed explanation in 826James Ricks' profile.

We can guess that 413Mary Ann may have been born circa 1750 (based on an estimate that her husband may have been born circa 1745).

As noted in the image caption above, 413Mary Ann married 412Abishai Horn.1,2 For more information about their lives together, etc., see his profile since that information won't be repeated here.

She was still alive on 13 March 1792 (since her father names her as an heir in his will1) but probably had died before 15 October 1795 (since some of her deceased husband's property was sold on that date.3 If 413Mary Ann were still alive, she'd still need to use the items, so a sale would be unlikely). She probably died in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, since the family (or at least her husband) was living there around that time.3,4
