I rather doubt there was any coat of arms
for at least one branch of the Brickers:
when Peter Bricker came to colonial America
in 1732 on the ship Pink Plaisance, he only
was capable of signing the ship's list with
an "X" instead of with his proper name.
While there were noble families from the
area along the Rhine that had their share
of illiterates, it was much more likely
that Peter Bricker and family were peasants
when they arrived in America. And relatively
few aristocrats with coats of arms immigrated
to the New World anyway. So, no Bricker coat of arms.
