     Abigail Rice was christened on 27 May 1753 at First Church, Worcester, MA.^2,3,4 She was the daughter of Adonijah Rice and Persis Gates.³ Abigail Rice married David Goodenough Jr, son of David Goodenow and Dinah Fay, on 11 June 1776.³ Abigail Rice died on 28 February 1846 at Coventry, NY.³
     There is an unfounded rumor that her name was actually Nathaniel.

     Benjamin Rice was born on 2 February 1744/45 at Westborough, MA, (12th per Ward).^3,4,2 He was the son of Ebenezer Rice and Anna Rice. Benjamin Rice married Sarah Green, daughter of Joseph Green and Mary Wright, on 25 November 1773 at Westborough, MA; listed as Benjamin of Northborough.^1,2,3 Benjamin Rice died on 8 April 1811 at Conway, MA; aged 66y, from typhus.^2,5
     Benjamin Rice of Conway (1854), Elijah Rice of Chester, Eben Rice of Martinsburg, NY, and Carlton Rice of Madison, NY, are thought to be descendants of Benjamin and Sarah according to WARD.⁶ He resided between 1760 and 1768 at Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS. In the 1768 census for Annapolis, Benjamin is living single. He was also a signatory to the request for township status of Annapolis in 1765. He did not appear in the 1770 census for Annapolis.^7,8 He and Sarah Green resided between 1774 and 1840 at Conway, MA.⁶ Benjamin Rice appeared on the census of 1800 at Conway, MA; (household of 12101-00001).⁹

     Beriah Rice Jr was born on 16 August 1747 at Westborough, MA, (not found in the published records).³ He was baptized on 16 August 1747 at Sudbury, MA; not in the record of the First Parish Church, Sudbury (Rice Gen'l Register indicates date of baptism as 16 August 1746).^1,2,4 He was the son of Beriah Rice and Mary Goodenow. Beriah Rice Jr married Meriam (?) circa 1770 at Annapolis County, NS; the marriage of Beriah Rice to Navine McQuillan, cited in the Rice Genealogical Register, is in error. In the past there was uncertainty about who was the first wife of Beriah (Jr). Recent research by Sherri Tomiak (2004) into the land records for Annapolis and Halifax counties record that Beriah Rice and Meriam Rice, his wife, signed land papers as early as January 1770 and as late as March 1783 as residents of Annapolis, as residents of Dartmouth between March 1787 and December 1789, and as residents of Halifax in February 1790. Based on these land records we can conclude that Beriah Rice's first wife was Meriam and that she was alive as late as 1790.^2,5 Beriah Rice Jr married Catherine Owens circa 1798 at Nova Scotia; Your authors have concluded that the Rice Gen'l Register is unreliable in regard to Beriah's family. There seems to be no justification for asserting that he had a daughter Naomi, for example.^6,7,2 Beriah Rice Jr married Catherine Ann (?) after 1801; Although there is uncertainty about whether Beriah had two or three wives, the 1818 census tells us that his last wife was the mother of Robert Muckford Rice and that her name was Catherine Ann. There is speculation that she was the daughter of Robert Mugford, who befriended Beriah, because Beriah named his son Robert Muckford. It is equally probable that Beriah named his son Robert Muckford Rice because of the senior Robert's kindness to Beriah. Therefore, your author does not give Catherine Ann the family name Muckford.⁸ Beriah Rice Jr died before 1818 at Baddeck, Victoria Co, NS; as his wife was listed as a widow in the 1818 census at Baddeck, Cape Breton.⁹
     He and Meriam (?) had 10 children.⁸ Beriah Rice Jr resided between 1760 and 1770 at Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS, M.¹⁰ He emigrated on 17 May 1760 from Boston, MA, the Rice Genealogical Register reports that Beriah Rice emigrated on the ship Charming Molly with 45 persons aboard. The record of that voyage has survived and names the three Rice men -- Benjamin, Stephen, and Beriah. The named Beriah may have been this Beriah or Beriah's father.^2,11 He and Meriam (?) resided between 1770 and 1783 at Annapolis, Annapolis Co, NS.¹² Beriah Rice Jr resided between 1792 and 1793 at McNabs Island, Halifax, Halifax Co, NS, where he was listed on the tax assessment record as a laborer.¹³
Some family historians have said that there were two Beriah's and some, three. Few documents of that time have survived. We are indebted to the late Dr Laurence Patterson, late Director Emeritus of the Edmund Rice (1638) Association, who discovered the following memorial, extracted from the Cape Breton Land Papers 1800-1808. This land paper provides very compelling evidence that there were only a Beriah Sr and Beriah Jr:
"The memorial of Beriah Rice, born in America humbly sheweth. That your Honor's memorialist hath been in the Province of Nova Scotia and this Island since the fourteenth year of his age ... that your memorialist has been a married man since the year 1775 - his first wife dieing after having a family of ten children - six of which are now living some with families and some singel (sic), that your memorialist is now married to a second wife - having now a family by her in three years, two children. The whole of your memorialist's offspring being bred to Industry in the farming line --- your memorialist hopes if encouraged by your Honor with a license of occupation for whatsoever quality of land your Honor may think (fitting for his) use by bringing his offspring together - hopes in the fiture (sic) that there may be a settlement of a little village of His own family.
"That your memorialist hath been for nearly two years living in a house of Robert Mugford, at Baddeck, in assisting him and adjoining to his premises hath in the course of these last two years cleared and cultivated about 7 or 8 acres which were never cleared, occupied, or possessed before ... ... Beriah Rice, Sydney C.B. October 30, 1801."
The Cape Breton Land Paper and the Parish Record of St George Church, Sydney, NS provide compelling evidence that Beriah's second wife in 1799 was Catherine Owens and that Beriah and Catherine had at least two children. One of their children was Catherine Rice, born before 18 September 1799.^8,3,2 He and Catherine Owens resided on 30 October 1801 at Baddeck, Victoria Co, NS.⁸

     Betsey Rice was born on 15 February 1796 at Woodstock, VT.^2,3,1 She was the daughter of Stephen Rice and Matilda Allen.² Betsey Rice married Oliver Colton, son of Oliver Colton, on 7 March 1815 at Roxbury, VT; (3 May at Salisbury per Rice Gen'l Register).^3,4,1 Betsey Rice married Lewis Augustus Rockwell, son of Thomas Rockwell and Mary Jemima Dunham, on 16 December 1862 at Fort Atkinson, WI.⁵ Betsey Rice died on 18 May 1870 at Tampico, IL.^6,7,3 She was buried in May 1870 at Evergreen Cemetery, Fort Atkinson, WI.⁷

     Damaris Rice was born in 1761 at Rutland District (Barre), MA, (not found in the published records). She was the daughter of Ralph Rice and Sarah Sawyer. Damaris Rice married Benjamin Stuart, son of Joseph Stewart and Mary Snow, on 8 February 1787 at Barre, MA; listed as Benjamin of Leominster and Damaris of Barre.^3,4,1,2 Damaris Rice died on 11 February 1841 at Sterling, MA; aged 79y,
under the name Stuart.^5,6 She was buried at Chocksett Cemetery, Sterling, MA.⁵
     Her identification as the daughter of Ralph Rice is based on circumstantial evidence. In particular, she named one of her sons
Ralph Rice Stuart. However, that happened after Ralph Rice had already married her husband's widowed mother, and so an alternate interpretation is possible. Another piece of evidence is the fact that John Rice (WRN 1732), a son of Ralph, was living with the Stuarts at the time of the 1850 census. Again, this fact is suggestive but not conclusive, since John could instead have lived with one of his own children. Finally, Abel Rice (WRN 1731), who is believed to be another son of Ralph, named one of his daughters Damaris. She was evidently living with her son Benjamin in 1840, according to
the census tallies. Her son Benjamin Stuart was appointed administrator of her estate three
weeks after her death.⁷

     Edmund Rice was born on 28 December 1755 at Sudbury, MA.^3,2 He was the son of Edmund Rice and Margaret Smith.² Edmund Rice married Abigail Cutting, daughter of Absalom Cutting and Keziah Rice, on 30 September 1784 at Rutland, MA; not listed as Edmund of Wayland.^4,2 Marriage banns for Edmund Rice and Elizabeth Seaverns were published on 16 November 1815 at Weston, MA; listed as Edmund of East Sudbury (Wayland) and Mrs. Betsy Train of Weston.⁵ Marriage banns for Edmund Rice and Elizabeth Seaverns were published on 22 November 1815 at East Sudbury (Wayland), MA.^6,7 Edmund Rice died on 14 November 1841 at Wayland, MA; (May per Ward) aged 86y, in the homestead of his ancestors.^6,7
