Ricketts Family IN Anson CO N C

I was searching for the family of Mary Elizabeth Ricketts, wife of Nimrod Sanders, b. 1786 in Anson Co., North Carolina, when I came across the pension records for a William Ricketts, b. Aug. 1748, Queen Ann Co., Maryland. He was living in Anson Co. in 1781, applied for pension benefits in 1833. Unfortunately, there were no family members listed. Could this be her father?
