John Rickett was born about 1790, probably in Montgomery County, Maryland where his parents Robert Rickett (ca. 1758 Maryland to 1801 Burke County, NC) and Ellender Allison (ca 1762 MD to 1800/1801 Burke Co. NC) This Rickett family came to Burke County in the early 1790s to join several Allison relatives who had come to NC earlier. Settling near present day Old Fort NC, they were enumerated in the 1800 Burke County, NC census. However, in the April term of the Burke County Court, guardians were assigned to "minors of Robert Rickett, deceased". Worded as such, Ellender Allison Rickett had predeceased her husband. At this time John Rickett would have been about 11 or 12 years old.
John Rickett married Winnifred "Winnie" Allison on 26 December 1809 in Burke County. Winnifred was the daughter to Thomas Allison and Cassandra Bird Allison. John and his family lived on land that was settled by his father, Robert Rickett.
