Joseph was born to Maturin Ricker and his wife, between 1695-1700 in Somersworth, now Dover, Strafford County, New Hampshire

1730 March 22 - Joseph and his wife, Elizabeth, were admitted to the Dover First Church, Strafford County, New Hampshire.

1743 May 19 - Signed a petition asking that the parish of Somerset be made a town. (It didn't actually happen for ten years)

1771 Jan. 19 - Will Dated "His will, executed at the latter place, Jan. 19, 1771, shows thast he was well endowed with worldly substance, mostly in farms, which he distributed among his numerous children. To two of his sons, Tristram and Joseph, he gave his Berwick homestead, and his negroes, whose ashes repose in the family burying-ground of their former masters."
