The Journey of
INTRODUCTION
(The following is from a letter your editor received more than 35 years ago. I found the story of the "wandering" family Bible fascinating.)
Dear Rosemary,
Since you asked where I connect and I am not well, I will answer at once. I am in the Edmund Rice (1638) Book and my sister worked many years to get all data and connect us from our great-grandparents buried in Wisconsin back to Sudbury. We knew we had to belong since "born Sudbury, Mass." was cut on their gravestones.
LINE OF DESCENT
It so happened our Ithamar Rice had 4 wives and 16 children, so guess he got tired of registering them in Vital Records, but finally in a hand-copied church record it was found that Ithamar & Sally Rice had 3 more sons christened in First Church, Sudbury, so we were identified.
Our line is thus: Edmund from England, 1638; son, Thomas, married Mary King (we later found we can trace to two other sons, Henry & Edward); 3rd gen., Gershom Rice married Elizabeth Haynes; 4th Gen., Matthias Rice married Mary Borden; 5th, Ithamar Rice married 4th, Sarah Dunn.
He was my Revolutionary Ancestor--answered Paul Revere's alarm and served 3 days chasing Redcoats back to Boston from behind every hedge, etc. He enlisted later and served a year.
FROM MASS. TO NYC, ILLINOIS & WISCONSIN
The 6th Gen. (and 15th child) was Reuben Rice who married Mary Ann Goodnow and left Sudbury with 2 small children for New York City; had 2 more children born at NYC, Reuben Jr. and Sarah Jane Rice, my grandmother. He must have been restless, for then they moved to Ill. & had several more children--then to Prescott, Wisc. in 1847 when another child was born and he added the name James to his Reuben and was hence called James Reuben Rice, which caused trouble for searchers.
7th Gen. is Sarah Jane Rice, who married Zebulon Binns. 8th Gen. is Sarah Grace Binns, who married John Hezekiah Nagler, Winona, Minn.
The 9th Generation is Marjorie Nagler (me), who married Robert E. Cole in Minneapolis, Minn. In the 10th Gen., I have three children: Robert E. Cole Jr., married Aldyth Chilsted & died of heart attack at age 48; daughter, Charlotte Mary Cole, married Chester Bouten & lives in Minneapolis, and Prentiss Hoyt Cole, married Joyce Bolmeier, Fargo, N.D.
SAGA OF THE FAMILY BIBLE
I know what you mean about family material being lost as we had it happen. After 3 years work, my sister did discover a beautifully written Bible record of James Reuben Rice & Mary Ann Goodnow & this ended our search. Some old person in Prescott said a Rice person had visited and he thought he could locate him if we'd leave our address. We did and then came a postcard.
Major Horace Rice (Retired) wrote & he said: "I have my grandparents' Bible, what do you want to know?" We got all facts and saw Bible. His  German war bride wife said to him, "Give it to them as they care and you have no child." He did not. She died first and when he died a step-son sent it to a brother (elderly) in Ohio, who mutilated it by adding dozens of names of his cousins, hit & miss, and dear Mary Ann's death did never get put in & it was her Bible. After many years, the daughter of this brother wrote to my sister, who had located her 20 years before. Said she had this Bible & her only son just killed & she'd like to know what to do. We suggested the Historical Society & she came by plane to see the graves of her grandfather & great-grandfather, James Reuben Rice, & Mary Ann, in lovely Prescott overlooking the Miss. River where it joins the St. Croix. We then drove to the River Falls branch of "U" of Wisc, where a museum was being started for things from the western Wisc. counties & deposited the Bible for safety & future use.
THE GOLD-HEADED CANE
Another side item. She had a gold-headed cane which her dad had & her husband used in Shrine Parades. She did not even know whose it was: But my sister and I did, as we had a copy of the news account of golden wedding surprise party for James Reuben & Mary Ann Rice & it said he was presented with a gold-headed cane, being lame, & she got gold spectacles and a dish.
You might add to your files that this Bible is available.

How Is Old Welsh Name Rhys Pronounced?
In 1974 the Carter V. B. Rice family that lived on Rice Road in Trumansburg, NY, did business under the name Rhys Welsh Ponies. Carter's wife Shirley wanted to know just how the Rhys that was the prefix for their ponies was pronounced. Through the Welsh Pony Society of England she got the address of publishers of a Welsh dictionary far better than the one she owned. They answered her question. Rhys is pronounced "Rheece". Rice is a direct translation of the Welsh Rhys or Rees. |

1846 LITHOGRAPH DEPICTS THE BOSTON TEA PARTY, ONE OF THE PROTESTS LEADING UP TO THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
Which Benjamin Rice Participated
in the Famous Boston Tea Party?
A 1974 Boston Sunday Globe article identified one of the Boston Tea Party participants as Benjamin Rice, but which Benjamin Rice was it?
Some possibilities are: Benjamin Rice (1754-1835) of Sudbury, MA, Benjamin Rice (1740-1811) of Marlboro, MA, Benjamin Rice (born 1745) of Westboro, MA and Benjamin Rice (1744-1840), who was later wounded in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
The most likely prospect, however, is Benjamin Rice (1749-  1782). The tea party took place Dec. 16, 1773. Benjamin was a Harvard University student in Boston between 1769 and 1773. The men who dumped the tea into the harbor were disguised as Indians (see close-up to right). The Benjamin at Harvard is the only Benjamin Rice we can definitely place in Boston. Perhaps he and patriotic Harvard upperclassmen spearheaded this protest.
This latter Benjamin Rice was from Westboro, MA. A descendant of Dea. Edmund Rice, he had been living with Rice kin at Annapolis, Nova Scotia before returning to attend Harvard. In 1774, he wed Martha Bent of Sudbury, then settled in Boston and set up practice as a physician.

Southern Family Trees
Notes on Some Rices in Georgia and Alabama
Because of its system of land lotteries, Georgia was probably the fastest settled of the original 13 colonies. The influx of settlers was primarily from the Carolinas and Tennessee. Elsewhere in this issue is a list of the Rices tallied in the early census records for Georgia.
The following information was received in 1974 from Denise Guerin Rice of Decatur, GA. She wrote:
My husband and all the men in the Rice family that I met were tall--6 feet and over (My husband is 6' 3") and slender, with angular facial features and lots of hair, mostly brown, but some have a reddish tint. An elderly woman in an Alabama nursing home remembers John Wesley Rice well. He was the county jailor and rode "a cantankerous grey stallion, no longer young, but feisty." He was not wealthy, but always had time to stop and chat. He was always jolly. His wife, Carrie, was a very lovely lady with startling blue eyes. She took very good care of herself and lived a long time. Her home in Columbus--where she lived at one time--is on the historic tour.
Here is some of Denise's data.
Family of William Rice and Milly Ann Pearce
William Rice was born about 1811 in North Carolina and married Milly Ann Pearce Dec. 23, 1831 in Newton Co., GA. She was born about 1813 in Georgia. William died in Russell Co., AL, sometime between 1860 and 1870.
Children
1. MARTHA ANN, born ca. 1837, GA
2. WILLIAM, born ca. 1838, GA
3. JAMES, born ca. 1839, GA; died in April, 1860, Russell Co., AL.
4. CAROLINE, born ca. 1845, GA; married Tom Bagley of Goodwater, AL
5. BENJAMIN, born ca. 1849, AL; married Annie _(?)_
6. AMELIA, born ca. 1847; married a Mr. Stewart who may have been from Sylacauga, AL; they had a daughter, Hallie, who married a Mr. Aschcraft
7. JOHN WESLEY (See below)
8. THOMAS, born Seale, AL
Family of John Wesley Rice and Patience Carrie Bryant
John Wesley Rice was born in 1850 in Seale, AL, He married Patience Carrie Bryant
(1855-1936) in 1873. Patience died in Atlanta and is buried in Girard, AL. John died in 1908 and is also buried at Girard.
Children
1. ROBERT L., born in 1874, married Ollie Fannie Creighton. They had a son, Walter L. Rice (1903-1973).
2. LENA BLANCH, born in 1878, married G. J. (Jack) Corley.
3. WESLEY JAMES, born in 1881 at Seale, AL; married, in 1902, Annie Ola Palmer (1880-1969). He died in 1959 at Columbus, GA. They had a son, James Lamar Rice (1906-1950).
4. CHARLES HENRY, born in 1884 at Seale, AL; married, in 1924, Gertrude Dismer. He died in Atlanta. Their children:
DOROTHY, who wed Merrill Harp Stewart
RICHARD HENRY, husband of Denise (who supplied this information)
MARIAN K, who married William Burton Poovey
5. WILLIAM LEE(1894-1966) of Seale, AL, who never married.
~~~~~~~~~~
Denise could never trace the Rice family further back than William Rice's birth in North Carolina, which came from a census record. Family tradition says the family was from Amelia County, VA.
EDITOR'S NOTE: If you have more information on this family would you please let me know so my file can be expanded to include it.

FOR FELLOW ROOT DIGGERS
AND BRANCH CLIMBERS
A (True) Tale of Descent
3rd Generation
A Chase married a Baker,
A Baker married another
And three Sherman cousins
Each chose a Chase brother.
4th Generation
Then two Buffington siblings
Thought Chases would be winners;
Two Kellys married Chases,
Just for beginners.
5th Generation
More Chase, Baker, Kelly,
Though a Slead has joined the fun
And a daring Chase named Phebe,
Chose a man named Robinson
6th Generation
Cousins marrying cousins,
Now we're again back in gear,
Except for one wife, Sarah Doane,
No new surnames appear.
7th Generation
But now a new complication--
A Robinson descendant
Finds another Robinson
And makes her his dependant
How to solve this mix-up?
A straight chart is a myth!
The son of my two Robinsons
Married--guess what--a Smith!
The above poem by Joyce Heckman of Old Saybrook, CT, is illustrated by a marvelous chart showing her 10 lines of descent from William Chase, who came from England in 1630 to settle at Yarmouth, MA. |

A Troublesome Kentucky Lineage
I desperately need help with my Rice line. I can trace back to my great great great grandfather Robert Lindsey Rice born c.1820-1822. He married Mary Polly Ison in Mercer Co. on 12/21/1843. He had the following siblings:
Edward J b. 1817, married Sarah Holeman
Elizabeth b. 1818, married Layfayette Baker
Anderson b. 1823, unknown line
A Daniel Rice and Lucy Rice signed the marriage bond of Elizabeth and we assume this is her father and mother but no solid proof. We have been unable to find any scant trace of information about any Daniel or Lucy Rice in the KY Census or at any of the historical societies or libraries.
I have attached my family tree file for this line in Adobe. Can you help or point me in a direction I should be looking?
I can write quite a bit about your Rice ancestry, but I'm not sure if it will provide the answers you seek. You are not the only person having trouble with this line! It has been brought to my attention numerous times.
Robert and Mary both told the 1880 census taker that their parents were born in Kentucky, so that means taking a look at who was in Kentucky between the Revolutionary War and the turn of the century. By 1810, when the first Kentucky census records are available, there are only three adults listed in Mercer County: Joseph Rice, John Rise and William Rus.
A likely candidate settled on by others researching this line is Rev. War veteran John Rice. In his pension application he says he was born in Prince Edward Co., VA. Following the war he settled in Mercer Co., KY and became a Baptist preacher. He would have been the age to have been a grandfather of your Robert Lindsey Rice. Let me know if you want the notes I took on his pension application and his will.
Anne Rice wants to know more about the family of the William Rice listed in the 1830 census of Mercer Co.
The Mercer County, KY Rices are also being researched by Shirley Larson and Mary Colonel, among others. The administrator of the Mercer County GenWeb page is named Ison (don't know if that is maiden or married name) and there is a link there to a large Ison database.
Some researchers believe that Rev. John Rice was a brother of Rowlet Rice, also a Rev. War vet from Prince Edward Co., VA. The marriage bonds for Rowlet and Elizabeth Gaines were located at Harrodsburg, KY. Nathan Rice was bondsman and Nathan and Anderson Rice were witnesses. Rowlet's 10 children include sons named William and Anderson. This family lived in Shelby Co., KY. Phyllis Rice has worked on this family and has, I believe, spouse's names for some of the children. Rowlet is also an ancestor of Rice researcher Anna Jean Dickey Springer .
In 2003 I received an inquiry from Joseph Hayes who was looking for information on the family of Benjamin Rice who married Delila Alcorn. He may have been a son of Anderson and Agnes (Alcorn) Rice.
Pre-Revolutionary War tax records in Prince Edward County list numerous Rice men as tithables. People researching the name Anderson Rice (there are several Anderson Rices) believe the name may have come from Col. Charles Anderson who lived in Prince Edward County in the mid 1700s.
Roberta J. Estes has been researching Rices in Prince Edward Co. and has accumulated a lot of material, including the early tax lists.
The Harrodsburg Historical Society has reprinted many old records and offers research services. You may want to check out their website. If you get back a generation or two more, please let us know. That would be good news to share!
_______________
WHY AREN'T FULL DATES GIVEN?
Several readers have emailed to ask why full dates (with day and date) are not given in our E~zine. The reason is simple. The source for most material printed here is people who are researching their Rice ancestry. This is not a primary source. For lineages to stand the test of time they must be based upon primary sources. I encourage everyone to document their own line. This is the professional approach to genealogical research. Copying other peoples' work--and, often, their mistakes--is not advised. This e~zine is a networking tool. Use it to make contacts with other researchers--so you can check their sources--and as a source of clues that will help you down the ancestral trail.
