When Johann "George" Rickert's son, Nicholas, married Lea Huiranell on November 13, 1774 the record stated his father (Johann "George") was deceased. With this, the death date that Mr. Cady gives (October 14, 1795) cannot be correct. We suspect "George's" 1795 year of death was written or copied incorrectly.
There was in fact an "Anna Eva Sternberg", born 1722, daughter of Lambert Sternberg and Cathrina Feller. This Anna Eva Sternberg married Johann Henrich Schaefer on November 1, 1748 at Schoharie, NY and had several children. He died on April 8, 1757 in Schoharie making this Anna Eva Sternberg a widow. She died on September 7, 1775 as found in Mr. Cady's records. Thus, Johann "George" Rickard's wife, Anna "Eva" Sternberg, who died on February 9, 1808 according to Mr. Cady cannot be the one who married Johann Henrich Schaefer. The names Staring and Sternberg seem to have been confused with each other for some reason. A good example is on the baptismal record of our Nicholas Rickert where his Godfather is listed as "Niclaus Starenbergh".
With the above, we conclude that Johann "George"	Rickert	married	only once
to Anna "Eva" Staring around September 21, 1750. This	Eva	was	born on	October	6,
1730 and died February 9, 1808 as found in the "Cady" records. Johann "George" Rickert died "before November 13, 1774" as found on the marriage record of his son, Nicholas Rickert and after his last child was born in 17 68. For now, we will assign George Rickert's death date as around 1771.
Johann "George" Rickert and Anna "Eva" Staring had the following children that were baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church in Schoharie, NY:
I.	Elsie Rickert - baptized May 25, 1751

baptism record names his parents as "Georg Rickkert and Eva Staring".

IV.	Elisabeth Rickert - May 19, 1757
V.	Catrina Rickert - September 21, 1759, her baptism record names her parents as "Yorey Rickert and Eva Staring".
VI.	Jacob Rickert - October 2, 1761
VII.	Margreta "Greet" Rickert	- January 31,	1762
