Silence RICE

This report includes only the first 6 generations of the Deacon Edmund RICE clan. A nine-generation version is available to members of the Edmund Rice (1638) Association. Learn more about Deacon Edmund RICE and these pages at our home page.



Silence RICE [QQ1589, w261] (Jonas3, Thomas2, Edmund1) , born 30 Apr 1703 at Sudbury, MA11,1 {p30},2 {p35},14 {p7}, daughter of Jonas RICE and Mary STONE. She died 8 Dec 1763, aged 60y at Templeton, MA (under the name Bond)133,14 {p7}. She was buried at Templeton, in Center Cemetery133. Her gravestone in Templeton states that she married first Ezra King and second John Bond, and many have claimed that her second marriage was in 1751. There was indeed a Silence King who married a John Bond at Worcester in 1751, but that was a much younger Silence who continued bearing children for many years afterward and eventually died at Conway in 1812 aged 83.133,134,1 {p30},14 {p7}

She married first, Ezra Rice KING. He was born 22 May 1697 at Sudbury, MA1 {p38},2 {8, 35},45 {p5},14 {4, 7},11 {p82}, died 14 Jan 1746, (July per Supplement p. 4) at Cape Breton, Canada103,2 {p35},14 {4, 7}, son of Lt Samuel Rice KING and Abigail CLAPP. Supplement 1 and the Rice Gen'l Register mistakenly assert that Ezra King married Silence Bond. The error is corrected in Supplement 2, Part 1. See also the NEHGR vol. 130 pp. 302-42 {p35},45 {p5},14 {4, 7},22 {130:302} Neither the marriage of Ezra nor the births of any of his children are entered in the Sudbury vital records. Several of the births are found in the Worcester vital records, however.

She married second, John BOND, but the time and place of this marriage are unknown. The only evidence for it is Silence's gravestone in Templeton. The Worcester vital records show a marriage between a John Bond Jr and a Silence King in 1751, but that was a young couple who proceded to raise a family in Worcester and later Conway133,70,64 {p72},1 {p30},14 {p7}. He was baptized 23 Nov 1690 at 1st Church, Watertown, MA34 {4:129}, died after 1763, as his wife Silence's gravestone makes clear he survived her133. He was dismissed to the Worcester church in 1752 at Watertown, MA64 {p51}.

Adonijah RICE [QQ1593, w265] (Jonas3, Thomas2, Edmund1) , born 7 Nov 1714 at Worcester70,1 {p30}, son of Jonas RICE and Mary STONE. He died 20 Jan 1802 at Bridport, VT1 {p73}. He was in the military about 1755, serving in the French and Indian War, member of Capt. Andrew Dalrymple's company for five months, ending 12 Dec. 1755. In 1756 he was a sergeant in the company, "age 43, cooper, born and resident of Worcester"1 {p72},137. He resided before 1802 at Bridport, with his son, Abel, whom he survived1 {p73}. At one point, a contributor claimed that Adonijah's daughter Abigail was really a son Nathaniel, but without offering any evidence in support. Now that the vital records have been examined, it is clear that Abigail was indeed Abigail, as stated in Ward and two of the Supplements. The remnant of the original Abigail-renamed-Nathaniel is still maintained in the ERA database for future reference as #3163, but not linked to any family.

He married Persis GATES about 1739 at Worcester, MA, Persis of Worcester, and they resided there, (not found in the published records)1 {30, 72},45 {p12}.
