I'm actually researching the ancestors of Henry Rickly b. abt. 1836 in Switzerland. He came to America and lived in Rockland County, NY. The 1880 US census showed Henry, wife Cathrine b. abt 1843 in Barvaria, and children Fredrick, John (who I believe to be my great, great grandfather), Ira, Margret, William, Mary, and Charles. As you can see my name is spelled with an E in lieu of the Y, My guess is that this was changed on certain records because Henry's Declaration of Intent 1866 show's Rickle. Any additional info would be helpful.
