• Notes

  From A History of Northeast Missouri, in the section about Audrain County: "A notable criminal case is the case of State of Missouri against James N Rodman, for the murder of John W. Ricketts, on the third day of March, 1857. Ricketts and Rodman were brothers-in-law, the wife of Ricketts being Rodman's sister. It was claimed that Rodman shot Ricketts from ambush. Rodman had two trials, one a mistrial, then a change of venue to Pike county, in which he was cleared. After the trial, Rodman left the country. His father had spent a great deal of money in making a defence for him."
