Lydia RICE [QQ1536, w194] (Benjamin³, Edward², Edmund¹) , born 6 Jun 1695 at Marlborough, MA^{3 {p157},1 {p23}}, daughter of Benjamin RICE and Mary RICE. She died 10 Jan 1755 at Brookfield, MA^{1 {p63},109 {p525}}.

She married Cyprian RICE 25 Dec 1721 at Marlborough, MA^{3,1 {23, 24, 63},45 {p11}}. He was born 17 Dec 1691, (1693 per Ward) at Marlborough^{3,1 {p24}}, died Nov 1788 at Brookfield, MA, (not found in the published records)^{1 {p63}}, son of Capt. Peter RICE and Rebecca HOWE. He made a will 17 Nov 1785 at Brookfield, mentioning son Solomon; daughter Betty Bridges; and grandsons Moses Rice and Silas Bridges^{1 {p64}}. His will was proved 2 Dec 1788 in Worcester County, MA^{1 {p64}}. Ward subdivided this person into three supposed children of Peter Rice: twins Zipporah and Zephaniah, born on the correct date, and Cyprian, born a couple of years later. The "twins" are apparently just mangled versions of the name in Cyprian's birth entry in the Marlborough vital records: "Zipperan". The name "Zephaniah" was probably also partly due to confusion with a second cousin Zephaniah (WRN 306) who was born nine years later (also at Marlborough). They resided in 1722 at Brookfield, MA^{1 {p63}}.
