He chose Cecil County as his home. David Ricketts (1765-1831), a descendant of William, moved from Cecil County to Tuscarora Mill in Loudoun County, Virginia with his wife Elizabeth Barr Ricketts (1763-1829), sometime in the late 18th century. Their son, John Thomas (JT) Ricketts (1805-1863) was born at the Mill. Soon after, David and Elizabeth moved their family to Cameron Mill in Cameron, Virginia. Cameron was located just outside of Alexandria, Virginia.\nIn 1833, JT Ricketts married Susan Wattson (1814-1843) and relocated to Philadelphia, her native city. Together they had six children. Susan's father, Thomas Wattson (1788-1874), brought JT into his baking business, T. Wattson \u0026 Sons. The company baked biscuits, crackers, and breads specially packaged for use on ships as well as cakes and breads for local consumption. In 1852, JT\nbought Thomas out of the business and formed Wattson \u0026 Co. with his brother-in-law, Edwin Wattson.\nTheir partnership lasted until April of 1855 when a feud between Ricketts and Thomas Wattson caused a rift in the two family's relations. JT then created his own baking company, Ricketts and Wattson. JT Ricketts died in 1863. Norris Cummings (1834-1904), Ricketts' son-in-law, acted as executor of his estate. He ran Ricketts and Wattson until 1865, when the bakery was sold. Helen Cummings (1865-1949), the daughter of Emma Ricketts Cummings and Norris Cummings, became the custodian of JT Ricketts' papers upon her parents' deaths. She moved from\nPhiladelphia to Alexandria in 1894, where she began researching and collecting Ricketts family genealogies. She died in Alexandria.","Helen Norris Cummings Papers (MS072)","This collection has three series: the papers of JT Ricketts, of Norris\nCummings and of Helen Cummings.
