Descendants who married Mayflower Passengers
Two John Rickards, who were first cousins, both born in the 1650s at Plymouth had wives named Mary. One of the wives has been identified as Mary Cooke, daughter of Jacob Cooke & Damaris Hopkins. It has been suggested (but not proven) the other Mary was Mary Snow of Bridgewater, daughter of William Snow & Rebecca Brown and granddaughter of Mayflower passenger Peter Browne. A good summary of current research on the two John Rickards and their wives appears online at: WeRelate.org "Family: John Rickard and Mary Cooke (2)"[7]

Giles Rickard (III)[11] was born about 1659 in Plymouth and died there 29 Jan 1709/10. He married 7 Nov 1683 Hannah Snow. Giles' will, dated 20 Dec 1709 fails to list any children, instead listing children of his siblings, so it appears this couple did not have any (surviving) children.
Samuel Rickard[12] was born at Plymouth 14 Jan 1662/3 and died at Plympton 7 Sep 1727. Samuel married 31 Dec 1689 Rebecca Snow. They had nine children (Plymouth, now Plympton): Rebeckah (1690/1), Hannah (1693), Samuel (1696), Bethyah (1698), Henry (1700), Mary (1701), Elkanah (1704), Mehitabel (1707) and Eleazer (1709/10).

By his first wife Henry had four children: Henry (1697), Bethiah (1698), Elkanah (abt 1700) and Judah (dau, 1705). By his second wife he had three more children: Mercy (1709), Henry (1710) and John (1719). This compiler has not found any further record for any of these sons.
Josiah Rickard was born Plymouth abt 1672 and died Plympton 22 Jan 1765. He married 21 Nov 1699 Rebecca Eaton and they had six children (born Plymouth, now Plympton): Giles (1700), Benjamin (1702), Josiah (1703), Desire (1706), Rebecca (1708) and David (1711).
Eleazer Rickard was born Plymouth circa 1665 and died aft 23 Jan 1735/6. He married bef 26 Jan 1698 Sarah Eaton and they had six children: Sarah (1698), Judith (1701), Lydia (1704), Tabitha (1707), Joanna (1709) and Eleazer (1712).

DNA results DF17
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Rickard DNA Project and the Mayflower DNA Project identifies one individual claiming their MDKPA was Giles Rickard. He has Y37 STR tested. Plugging his STR values into NevGen gives a prediction of R1b DF27>Z196>Z272>DF17 with a low certainty of 62.22%. There was a 35.8% chance of it falling under an unsupported haplogroup.[1]
Further needed testing
Rickard Y-DNA descendants are needed to do Next Generation Sequence/Whole Genome Sequence (NGS/WGS) DNA testing to refine the haplogroup for the family as well as try to further subdivide the descendants.
