     The Rice Gen'l Register reports that Asaph was born in Cape Breton, NS.

Note that Asaph's sons were recorded in Bridgetown, Annapolis County, in the mid 19th century and that Asaph died there in 1860. It is almost certain that Asaph was one of Beriah Jr's first offspring and that he was born in Annapolis County.

     Asaph Rice was born on 9 March 1733 at Westborough, MA, (May per Ward - the vital records list him with the same birth date as Stephen, but his college career and reported age at death make it clear that the vital records are wrong, and the baptism record makes it clear that Ward is wrong about the month of birth).^3,4,2 He was the son of Beriah Rice and Mary Goodenow.

     He was in the military where he fought at the Lexington Alarm, Lake Champlain, Bemis Heights, Saratoga. He was a pensioner.³ He resided at Marlboro; Templeton; Digby, Nova Scotia; and Belfast, Waldo & Lubec, Maine.³
There was indeed an Ashbel Rice who was granted 250 acres in the Hatfield Grant in what is now Digby, Nova Scotia. The Hatfield Grant was issued on January 29, 1801 in order to settle land claims in what was then known as Annapolis County. The land in question had previously been granted under the "Botsford Grant" in 1784 but none of the grantees had fulfilled the conditions of the grant. Therefore property was forfeited to the Crown. The lands in question had been settled by other people who had made improvements and wanted to have legal title to their property. Many of those included as grantees were given their property as a reward for military services to the British Crown during the American Revolution or as compensation because their property in the US had been confiscated because they had remained loyal to England. The "Hatfield Grant" consisted of 91632 acres and was issued to 275 individuals and one Church. The area was designated by the name of the Township of Digby and was still part of the County of Annapolis. As Ashbel fought for the American Colonies, it seems somewhat unlikely that he would have joined the Loyalists in Nova Scotia after the American Revolution. Was it because his brother, Dr Jesse Rice, a Loyalist, was living at Yarmouth, NS or some other place in the vicinity?

     Ashbel Rice was born in 1802 at Maine, according to the 1880 US census.^2,3 He was the son of Ashbel Rice and Persis Knights.² Ashbel Rice was baptized on 16 June 1804 at Little River, NS; according to the Parish Register of Trinity Anglican Church, Digby, NS.

     On 17 April 1755 Bathshebah Rice from "Nitchewoag" was cautioned, meaning that one was given a "warning out of town" to incomers by the constable, thus by law exempted the individual from liability for the future support by the community in case they became a public charge. The high and the low, the rich and the poor, all had warnings upon moving their residence into another town, or coming in to tarry there for a short time. No offence was taken at such messages from the constable, and they passed unheeded. Yet in not in every instance, for a family of property and good standing came in from another State, who knew nothing of such a practice; and, upon sitting down to abide in one of our towns, was warned, "by authority," and "without a why or a wherefore," to depart the town. The astonished husband laid it to heart, and discoursed inquiringly with his wife what it could mean. She could not imagine for the life of her what it was for! "Have you said or done any thing here to give offence?" quoth she, looking up in his face. "I have done no more than civilly pass the time o'day with people since we have been here." "Well, then, who knows but they think we have got the small-pox?" Thus they queried, but could not account for it. The husband, having laid awake upon it during the night, told his wife in the morning that he was going to pack up his things and go somewhere else, "for this is no great of a place after all!¹" There were an Amos Rice and a Silas Rice living at Petersham in 1777.

     He was sworn a freeman of the town on 3 September 1805 at Bennington, VT.¹²
In 1805 he was given title to the land, and in March 1806 he set off on a good riding horse, his wardrobe rolled and strapped to the saddle, on the 130 mile journey to the north from Bennington. He had only an axe and a knife with him, and a little money with which he secured board and room with a family named Bogue, near Enosburg. He then began the hard labor of clearing some of his land to farm. He built a simple log cabin, interior boards fastened with wooden pegs, roof of poles covered with heavy slabs of bark tied down with withes (he had no shingles). He made sashes for the two windows (one at each end of the cabin), chimney and fireplace of stone. He made all household furniture (crude but functional): a bedstead, table, chairs and stools, pails and tubs. He cut and stacked firewood to dry (to be ready for their first winter). Nearby he built a small barn for the horse. Then, having prepared the homestead, he returned to Bennington, married Matilda, and worked to earn money to buy livestock.
In March 1808, he and Matilda journeyed to their new home at Enosburg, with their first child, Mary. They went in a sleigh drawn by a stout horse, traveling without benefit of roads. They lived in the crude cabin, later building a larger cabin, and in 1818 they built the great farmhouse.
The farm produced to meet their needs. Maple sugar was made each spring, and was a treat which the Vermont family shipped west and shared with three generations of Rices in Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado.² He was a farmer at Enosburg Falls, VT.² He and Matilda Gaby were members of the Enosburg Congregational Church, Enosburg, VT. They raised a family who were all deeply committed to the church. Benjamin was a Deacon. He and Matilda and family began and ended each day with Bible reading and prayer. They were "Puritans" in the best sense of that tradition.² Benjamin Rice was in the military in September 1814 at Plattsburg, NY, being a Vermont Volunteer, War of 1812 - 6 days service to Plattsburg, NY.¹³
At the age of 17 years, Benjamin hired out to Judge Robinson, living with and working for the Robinson family until he was 21 years old for which service he was to receive board and room, clothing, winter schooling, and at age 21, a 75 acre tract of land located in Enosburg, Vermont.
The record of the descendants of Benjamin Rice is based in large part on interviews with his descendants conducted by James Albert Rice during the years 1995 to 1999. These interviews provided many valuable personal recollections about members of the family. This record is much enriched by these recollections.
Descendants of Benjamin Rice are reminded that you should confirm your line of descendance with primary records such as birth, marriage, and death certificates. Personal recollections provide superb pointers about where and when to look for primary records. However, personal recollections are sometimes not accurate in detail.

The will cited his wife Marcy (sic), eldest son Judah, second son Asaph, third son Timothy, younger sons Beriah, Benjamin, Joseph, and Stephen, eldest daughter Marcy (sic) wife of Paul Hareltine (sic), second daughter Lucy, third daughter Rachael, and fourth daughter Sarah. Beriah left to his wife Marcy one half right to his farm "on the east side of the creek known as Bloody Bridge Creek (Annapolis, NS)..." for the space of six years "but at the expiration of said term the above mentioned half right (to the) farm shall be to son Timothy's hereafter ...". Beriah left the other half of his land and farm dwelling on the east side of Bloody Bridge Creek to his son Timothy.

Your author notes that the names Adams, Bond, and Whipple are found nowhere in surviving records of Annapolis or Granville for the 1760s. Beriah Rice had close cousins by these names living at Westborough, MA at the time that the will was written. It is very likely that the will was written at Westborough, Worcester County, MA.⁷
