According to an unknown source as of 2019, "this Miss Rick was supposedly born in England, sometime within 2-3 years prior to 1850 and was a daughter of Edward and Martha (Rehr) Rick. Martha was Edward Rick's 2nd wife and according to the same unknown referenced source, this "Miss Rick", was one of Edward and Martha's eight children. It is said (again outsourced), that " Edward Rick and Martha (Rehr) Rick, their eight children, along with Edward's daughter, Maria ( dau. of Edward and his 1st wife, Ann (Rehr) Rick), came from England by sail boat and up the Mississippi River to Galena, Illinois about 1850. They were six weeks in coming to St. Louis, Missouri, and another six weeks coming to Galena from St. Louis, Missouri by covered wagon and walking. On the way up the Mississippi, one of their little daughters, aged 2 or 3, took sick and died ((exactly where unknown). They stopped and buried this Miss Rick (given name unknown at this time) somewhere in Arkansas. They settled on a farm now known as the Albert Bastian Home near Council Hill, Jo Davies County, Illinois. Martha was born 11 June 1807 and died 7 Aug 1865..."

* The child you are looking for was probably Sarah, Christened May 20, 1849 according to England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975. She was on the passenger list of the ship, Camillus which landed April, 1850. According to Illinois Mortality Schedules, 1850-1880, she is listed as having died in April, 1850. She was one year old. It doesn't say where she died. She was not on the 1850 census. (Martha and Edward had another daughter named Sarah, born in 1837 but died in 1848, England, Leicestershire Parish Registers, 1533-1991. )
Also Maria was Martha and Edward's daughter born 1829. Ann and Edward had a daughter Maria, but she was born in 1826 and died in 1826.
