John Riley and Minerva Arrick

Overview I started this website in 2006 to document my research on John Riley Arrick's ancestors. It has grown to include all related Arricks along with other surnames that are now known to be directly related including Orrick, Orick, Arick, Oroark, etc I'm now using DNA testing to figure out the more difficult parts. These families came to Maryland from Fife Scotland as ORROCK around 1650 and spread throughout the U.S.      -Roger Arrick See the Orrick's in the US Chart, and John Orrick's chart
