     Patience Rice was born on 5 March 1671 at Sudbury, MA.^4,2,3,5 She was the daughter of Matthew Rice and Martha Lamson. Patience Rice married Ebenezer Leland, son of Henry Leland and Margaret Badcock; The marriage is proved by a marriage agreement in which Ebenezer gave half his land to Patience, daughter of Matthew Rice of Sudbury.^2,3 Patience Rice died on 1 June 1720 at Sherborn, MA; under the name Lealand.⁶
     There is a long-standing confusion about the husband of Patience Rice. Two possible candidates have been named: Ebenezer and Hopestill Leland, two brothers who both lived in Sherborne and who both had wives named Patience. In his book The Rice Family, Ward said that Patience Rice married Hopestill Leland as her second husband (the record of Hopestill's marriage shows the bride's name as Patience Holbrook). Ward was silent on the subject of Ebenezer Leland. Meanwhile, Morse's History of Sherborn asserts that Ebenezer's wife was Patience Sabin while Hopestill's was Patience Holbrook. More recently, the Rice Genealogical Register and Supplement 1 to The Rice Family concluded that Patience Rice's husband was Ebenezer Leland and cite a marriage agreement between Ebenezer and Patience to substantiate the relationship. According to the Supplement, that agreement gave half of Ebenezer's land to Patience Rice, daughter of Matthew and Martha Rice. Unfortunately, the description in the Supplement is clouded by a careless error: Ebenezer's date of baptism is inserted without the 'bp' notation, thus appearing to give this as the date for the marriage!
     The Sherborne and Sudbury vital records do not include any marriage of Patience Rice, nor any marriage of Ebenezer Leland to some other Patience, nor, indeed, the death of any male Holbrook in the period shortly before Hopestill Leland married Patience Holbrook. However, the Sherborne vital records do record the births of children to both Hopestill and Patience and Ebenezer and Patience. Your authors believe that Ebenezer Leland is the most likely husband and have included his family here as the family of Patience Rice. See under Hopestill Leland for the family as described by Ward.^7,2,3

     He also went by the name of "Percy Rice."³ He resided in 1778 at Somerset, VT, returning with Daniel.³
In his History of Stratton, Vermont David Kent Young recounts:
"Percy (Perez) bought a large tract of land. Some of this was in the eastern part of Somerset, along the Wardsboro line, while the rest was on the Wardsboro side of that line (the current Wardsboro/Dover/Stratton area known as Dover Mountain).
"Percy built a home on the Wardsboro side of his property. He probably owned much of the area southeast of what is now Pike Hollow Rd..
"Percy was Constable of Somerset in 1792 and the town's treasurer in 1793, 1794 and 1796.
"Percy and Chloe were childless, and so when John Rice died in 1803, it was natural for them to take in John's family, including a nephew, who also was named Perez. Percy mentioned his nephew, Perez, in his will, leaving him $200.00, provided the younger Perez would stay with Chloe until he reached the age of 21."⁷ He left a will on 31 May 1804 at Wardsboro South District, VT,, which was probated 22 September 1807 at Marlboro, VT, the Honorable Gilbert Denison, Esq., Judge. The will mentions: Chloe Rice, widow to Perez Rice; Thomas Rice, now living with me; his (Perez) mother; brother John's widow; Perez Rice son to brother John; sister Susannah Wadkins children; Calvin Orcutt; Thomas Palmer; Levi Crosbee.⁸ The younger Perez stayed with his Aunt Chloe until he was 24, two years after his marriage. At that point, young Perez settled on land probably bought from his late uncle's estate.

     Persis Rice was born on 3 April 1740 at Worcester, MA.^1,2,3 She was the daughter of Adonijah Rice and Persis Gates. Persis Rice married Hezekiah Stowell on 24 November 1758 at Worcester, MA; transcribed as Hezekiah Howell and Hepzibah Rice in the vital records.^1,2,3
     Meanwhile, the Petersham vital records show the birth of a daughter Persis to a Hezekiah and Persis Stowell in 1766, but no other entries for any of those three.⁴ The Supplement ascribes a death in 1777 to this Persis Rice, but the identification is surely wrong. The Athol vital records do indeed show the death of a Persis Rice on that date, but the Persis in question was the daughter of Adonijah and Tamar Rice and was baptized at Brookfield in 1768. Thus, she may indeed have been a second daughter Persis of the same Adonijah and a second wife, or she may have been the daughter of Adonijah (WRN 507), who Ward says died young (q.v.). In either case, the supposed marriage of this Persis (WRN 830) to Hezekiah Stowell is in doubt, as the vital records actually show the bride in question to be Hepzibah Rice, not Persis. Further research is needed to establish the identities.^5,2

     In describing Persis on p. 77, Ward writes 'not in the will,' but his abstract of the will on p. 78 clearly lists her as one of the legatees.¹ Perhaps she is the Persis Rice who married George Townsend of Brookfield in 1770.
