     Her married name was Trowbridge. She and William Trowbridge resided at Worcester, MA, residing in the southwesterly part of the town.⁹ William and Sarah Trobridge were members of the church at Worcester where he was a Deacon.^10,6

     Sarah Rice was born on 1 April 1739 at Worcester, MA.^1,2 She was the daughter of Abishai Rice and Frances Rice.

     Her married name was Goodnow.

     Sarah Rice was born on 3 January 1755 at Brookfield, MA.^1,2 She was the daughter of Solomon Rice and Mary (?).¹ Sarah Rice died on 15 January 1755 at Brookfield, MA; at age 12 days.^1,3

     Sarah Rice was born on 2 February 1756 at Brookfield, MA.^1,2 She was the daughter of Solomon Rice and Mary (?).¹ Marriage banns for Sarah Rice and Hezekiah Cutting were published on 26 June 1773 at Brookfield, MA.^1,3 Sarah Rice married 2nd Phineas Mann, son of Samuel Mann and Elizabeth (?), on 7 February 1799 at Brookfield, MA, Phinehas (sic) of Paxton.^1,4
     Her married name was Cutting.¹ Her married name was Mann.¹

     Sarah Rice was born on 3 September 1738 at Sudbury, MA.^1,2 She was the daughter of Nathaniel Rice and Sarah Smith. Sarah Rice died on 27 January 1740/41 at Sudbury, MA.^1,2,3
     Although Ward reports that Nathaniel and Sarah (Smith) Rice had an unnamed daughter who died in 1741, there is a gravestone next to the gravestone of Sarah (Smith) Rice that reads: "Here Lyes Ye Body of Sarah Rice. Daughter of Mr. Nathaniel Rice & Mrs. Sarah Rice: Died Jan. 27th 1740 in Ye 3rd Year of her Age." This inscription gives compelling evidence that the Sarah, who was born 3 September 1738, died 27 January 1740/41. Mother Sarah (Smith) Rice predeceased daughter Sarah on 4 January 1741. It is most unlikely that Nathaniel and Sarah Smith Rice would have named a second daughter Sarah before the first daughter Sarah died. Therefore we must assume that the Sarah Rice who married Daniel Rice was not the daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah Smith Rice named by Ward.^3,1

     Sarah Rice was born on 10 July 1723 at Marlborough, MA, (father not declared).¹ She was the daughter of Tabitha Rice.

     Sarah Rice was born on 16 August 1751 at Upton, MA.^1,2 She was the daughter of Beriah Rice and Mary Goodenow. Sarah Rice married Elias Wheelock, son of Obediah Wheelock and Martha Sumner, circa 1766 at Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS. In the 1768 census, Elias Wheelock had two males and one female in his household, all American. It seems likely that Elias and Sarah had been married for about two years and the second male was their first son as Sarah Rice's younger brother Joseph was listed separately in the 1768 census. Their first daughter must have been born in or after 1768, not 1766 as given by Ms McCormick. By the 1770 census, Elias had four Americans in his household, most likely Elias, Sarah, and two offspring.^3,1 Sarah Rice died after 1821 as she was named in her husband's will.⁴
     Her married name was Wheelock. The birth order of Sarah's children is uncertain. Your author has attempted some order based on the dates of marriages of children and birth dates of grandchildren where known. Also the census for 1768 & 1770 that suggest that there could be not more than two children born before spring 1770.

     Sarah Rice was the daughter of Beriah Rice Jr and Meriam (?). Sarah Rice married 1st Joseph Troop, son of Valentine Troop and Catherine Church, before 1796.^2,1 Sarah Rice married 2nd Benjamin Belcher Reed, son of Duncan Reed and Zerusha Post, circa 1825 at All Saints Anglican Church, Granville, Annapolis Co, NS. A partial extract of the Benjamin Reed entry: "Benj Reed Married for his second wife Sarah Troop Widdow of the late Joseph Troop of Granville and the Daughter of... Rice of Annapolis and had by her Joseph Troop their son Born 17 July 1826. Sarah his Wife departed this life 26 March 1827." It is likely that Sarah was born in Annapolis County and remained there when her father moved to Cape Breton.³ Sarah Rice died on 26 March 1827 at Granville, Annapolis Co, NS.³
     Her married name was Reed. Her married name was Troop.

     Sarah Rice was born in 1766 at Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS.¹ She was the daughter of John Rice and Sarah Smith. Sarah Rice died in 1784.¹

     Sarah Rice was the daughter of Ebenezer Rice and Tabitha Balcom.² Sarah Rice married Frederick Balser, son of Peter Balser, on 27 November 1822 at Saint Lukes Anglican Church, Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS; in the presence of Jonas and Levi Rice, by John Millidge, Missionary. Sarah Rice was of the Parish of Annapolis and Frederick Balser was of the Parish of Wilmot.³
     Her married name was Balser.³ It is likely that Frederick was the son of Peter Baltzor and brother of Dorothy who married Sarah's brother Jonas. If so, this was probably the second marriage for Frederick who first married Alice Oliver.⁴

     Sarah Rice was born circa 1775.¹ She was the daughter of Benjamin Rice and Sarah Green. Sarah Rice died on 28 July 1777 at Conway, MA; aged 2y.^2,1

     Sarah Rice was christened on 26 November 1780 at Conway, MA.^2,1 She was the daughter of Benjamin Rice and Sarah Green. Sarah Rice died on 2 August 1795 at Conway, MA; aged 17y, but this identification is uncertain because the death record says only 'child of Benjamin.^2,1'

     Sarah Rice was born on 28 February 1753 at Westborough, MA.^1,3,2,4 She was the daughter of Ebenezer Rice and Anna Rice. Marriage banns for Sarah Rice and Aaron Hayden were published on 12 May 1777 at Conway, MA; both of Conway.^3,2,5
     Her married name was Hayden. Your authors note that there is an uncertainty in the identity of the Sarah Rice who married Aaron Hayden. There is compelling evidence that this Sarah (WRN 1002) emigrated to Nova Scotia with her parents in 1760, was in her father's household in the 1768 and 1770 census at Annapolis. The Fairn family history in Annapolis County, NS claims this Sarah Rice as their ancestor. Because two of Sarah Rice brothers were living in Conway in the mid 1770s, your authors have followed the line that this Sarah Rice married Aaron Hayden. We are continuing our search for compelling evidence that supports either Aaron Hayden (at Conway) or Benjamin Fairn (at Annapolis).

     Sarah Rice was born on 1 September 1725 at Framingham, MA.^1,3,2,4 She was the daughter of Bezaleel Rice and Sarah Buckminster. Sarah Rice married David Stone, son of Samuel Stone and Bathsheba (?), on 26 March 1745 at Sudbury, MA; (20th per Framingham records) both of Framingham.^1,3,2,5,6 Sarah Rice died on 22 October 1815 at Petersham, MA; aged 90y, under the name Stone.^7,1,2

     Ward lists Sarah twice with birth dates exactly three years apart and implies that the 'first' Sarah died young. However, the second date given by Ward is just barely nine months before the birth of Nahum and more to the point is not confirmed by any birth or baptism entry in the town or church records. (There is indeed an unpublished manuscript transcription of the Sudbury vital records that purports to show a birth entry for a Sarah on 4 January 1756, but that manuscript is contaminated with many invented entries. It seems likely that the extra Sarah was inserted into the manuscript on the basis of Ward, with an editorial 'correction' to avoid the uncomfortably close timing of the extra Sarah before Nahum. Ironically, the January date is only marginally less awkward, being less than ten months afer the birth of Eunice.).⁶ Her married name was Farnum.

Sarah Rice married Daniel Duncan, son of John Duncan and Sarah Dutton, before 1721; but the marriage is not found in any of the Massachusetts vital records, including those of Worcester.

     Her married name was Gibbs.

     Sarah Rice married Daniel Rice, son of Israel Rice and Sarah Rose, on 28 November 1754 at Sudbury, MA.^1,2,3,4
     Although Ward reports that Sarah Rice, who married Daniel Rice, was a daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah (Smith) Rice, we have a gravestone next to the gravestone of Sarah (Smith) Rice that reads: "Here Lyes Ye Body of Sarah Rice. Daughter of Mr. Nathaniel Rice & Mrs. Sarah Rice: Died Jan. 27th 1740 in Ye 3rd Year of her Age." This inscription gives compelling evidence that Sarah, who was born 3 September 1738, died 27 January 1740/41. Mother Sarah (Smith) Rice predeceased daughter Sarah on 4 January 1741. It is most unlikely that Nathaniel and Sarah Smith Rice would have named a second daughter named Sarah before the first daughter Sarah died. Therefore we must assume that the Sarah Rice who married Daniel Rice was not the daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah Smith Rice named by Ward.^5,6 Her married name was Rice. Sarah Rice and Daniel Rice resided in several towns and had a large family, of which only two were known to WARD.⁷

The following is an interview with Stephen A. Rice as it appeared in the Jefferson County Union of 26 ___ 1897: 'People don't half appreciate the great blessing of railways and cheap mail service nowadays. Why, just think of the change since I settled here in 1837. I had to drive up to Aztalan after all my mail then, as we had no post office here. I paid 44 cents for each letter that came from my old home, Warren, Vermont, and postage money was scarce then, too. I couldn't afford to get many letters. Postmasters didn't trouble themselves about delivering a letter that was paid in advance, so I had to write home not to prepay the letters as I might not get them. What a blessing it would have been if pioneers here could have heard from 'down East homes' as quickly and cheaply as the Montana settlers can hear from Wisconsin fathers and mothers now. It took six weeks for a letter to get to Vermont from here and the same time for an answer to get back. I remember a surprise visit I gave to my mother in 1844. I had a title to four fine eighties of land and a wife and two children that she had not even heard about. I rented my farm and we went East. We got to Vergennes, Vt., and had only twenty-four miles over the mountains to go to Warren. I remember the world was coming to and end about that time - it had been postponed once - and all the Vergennes people who could get horses to travel with, had gone to Hines, a few miles away, to the Advent meeting. The Adventists were called Millerites, after Miller, their leader. The liveries were all cleaned out and there seemed no chance at all for me, when the landlord says, 'Why, there's Stephen Bragg. He told me he was going over pretty soon to see his folks. He had a Concord buggy. You had better see him.' I saw him and soon struck a bargain. By the way, he was a brother of Wm. D. Bragg, one of the first settlers of Lake Mills, and he afterward came West and went into business at Cambridge. We got started early. Stephen took my wife and Matilda and the baby in the carriage. I was to walk. Now, I don't mind it at all. I could walk in those days. My two trunks were strapped on behind. No wonder Stephen threw in a chain to make the wheels drag in going down the mountain. Mrs. Rice wasn't used to those grades and I don't think she had as much confidence in Stephen as she had in me. She jumped out of the buggy every time we struck a steep one. You ought to have seen us going down the other side of the mountain. I would run down a piece and brace myself and say 'come on', and down she would slip, slide and run and come bang up against me. Stephen was behind with the wheels chained and they were screeching and moaning as they came down, and the buggy almost straight up in the air. Finally we got there. Mother was so pleased she cried over us, and I remember wishing it wasn't so hard a journey so we could think of coming again soon, and, in fact, wishing we could have come before we did. I tell you lack of transportation facilities in those days caused an immense amount of suffering that is scarcely thought of now.^5,2' He and Laura Roberts resided between 1850 and 1860 at Koshkonong Township, Jefferson Co, WI.^6,7 Stephen A.
