     Daniel Rice lived in 1776 at Somerset, VT. He was the first resident of Somerset. He staked out land in the Great Meadows section northwest of Mt.

He wintered in Hardwick, MA, and came in the spring to tend his new land while living in a shanty until 1781.^10,2,4 He began military service on 28 April 1775 at Vermont; on August 14, 1777, while in Wilmington, he heard that the British army was marching toward Bennington. He hastened back home, shouldered his musket and started through the wilderness, across the Green Mountains, to Bennington, where he arrived in time to participate in the memorable battle at that place.^4,11,12 He remained with the Continental Army for 3 months after the Battle of Bennington (14 August 1777), having served during the American Revolution. Massachusetts muster rolls, 1 August 1777, show that he served with Capt Simeon Hazelton, 5th Co., Col John Fellows, 8th Regt.⁴ He was the Town of Dover's first Representative (to the Vermont state legislature), holding that office from 1799 through 1802 and Town Clerk in 1800, 1802-1804 and 1813; also Treasurer in 1800 and 1802 in 1799 at Somerset (became Dover), VT.¹³ He resided after 1800 at along "The Handle Road", Somerset (now West Dover), VT.¹⁴

     Simeon Rice was born circa 1752 at probably Hardwick, MA, but not mentioned in Hardwick VR.¹ He was the son of Ephraim Rice and Unknown (?). Simeon Rice died after 1804.^2,1
     Simeon Rice immigrated in 1778 to Somerset, VT, with his brothers.³ He resided in 1804 at Vermont going with Daniel and Perez.¹

     Perez Rice was born on 1 May 1757 at Hardwick or Sutton, MA, but not mentioned in Hardwick or Sutton VR.^1,2,3 He was the son of Ephraim Rice and Unknown (?). Perez Rice married Chloe Lincoln on 8 April 1779 at Hardwick, MA.^4,1 Perez Rice died on 9 September 1807 at Wardsborough South District (now Dover), VT; aged 50y, when the well he was digging for his home caved in upon him.^2,3,5,6 He was buried at Mountain View Cemetery, West Dover, VT.^2,5,6
     Perez Rice 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.

     Susannah Rice married Stephen? Watkins.² Susannah Rice was born circa 1759 at Hardwick or Sutton, MA, but not mentioned in Hardwick or Sutton vital records. She was the daughter of Ephraim Rice and Unknown (?).
     The 1804 will of her brother Perez mentions 'sister Susannah Wadkins' children,' possibly, but not necessarily, indicating that she was already dead. In any event, it indicates that she had married a Wadkins or Watkins, but not which one. The Rice Gen'l Register speculates that she was the Susannah who married Stephen Watkins in 1789, but Ward identifies that Susannah as WRN 1456. Ward's scenario is somewhat more plausible, and we follow that here, pending further research.^1,2

     John Rice was born circa 1762 at probably Hardwick, MA.¹ He was the son of Ephraim Rice and Unknown (?). Marriage banns for John Rice and Sarah Woods were published on 12 November 1789 at Greenwich, MA; listed as John of Hardwick and Sally of Greenwich.³ Marriage banns for John Rice and Sarah Woods were published on 26 November 1789 at Hardwick, MA; listed as Sarah of Greenwich.⁴ John Rice married Sarah Woods on 10 December 1789 at Petersham, MA; listed as John of Hardwick and Polly of Greenwich.^5,6,2 John Rice married Sally Cooper, daughter of Enoch Cooper and Sarah (?), on 7 April 1796 at Granby, CT.⁷ John Rice died on 24 June 1803.^1,7,8,9
     There has been some question about the ancestry of John Rice. One John Rice of Hardwick married a Sarah Woods of Greenwich in 1789 (listed as Polly Woods in the marriage record at Petersham). The Hardwick vital records also show the marriage of a John Rice to a Betsey Ruggles in January 1809 and the birth of Betsey Ruggles Rice, daughter of John of Somerset, baptized in December 1809. Perez Rice's will in 1804 refers to 'Brother John's widow', so the John Rice who married Betsey cannot be Ephraim's son and Perez's brother, since the marriage was in 1809, 5 years later than the will.
Mrs. Betsey Rice and Mrs. Peggy Rice are buried in the Mountain View cemetery, close to Daniel and Perez, and Betsey is connected to Hardwick as well as Somerset, VT, so there is probably a close relationship here. The dates are such that the John who married Betsey could be the son of John and Sarah, but no clear evidence supports that theory either.
The family bible of Orrin A. and Melissa M. (Rice) Johnson lists John and Sally Rice as the parents of the children listed here (Clarissa, Anna, Susannah, Perez and Willard), but there are some contradictions too. It gives John's birth year as 1770 (which is possible because the 1762 listed is approximate), but also claims he died June 24 1803 (which meshes with Perez' brother John having died before the will in 1804), but claims he died at the age of 99 years and 11 months (the birth and death dates would have made him 33 years and 11 months)! It also lists an additional child, Shadrack, born in 1805. The choices of the names Perez and Susannah for John & Sally's children give credence to his being Ephraim's son, since these would be names of his siblings. The will of Perez Rice, 1804, mentions 'Perez Rice son to brother John'.
In a letter to Erwin's daughter Mickey Snow, dated August 11, 1995, David Kent Young questioned the ancestry of John Rice. Kent listed his John's wife as Sally Cooper - not Sarah or Polly Woods - and listed the children as Perez, Susannah and Willard, the same as listed in the above family bible. More recently in a note to Lynn McLaughlin on March 18, 2001 Kent said about John Rice: 'He certainly was a son of Ephraim, since his son, Perez, was raised by his uncle Perez.'
In Grains of Rice, the author Peggy Grosser lists her ancestor Willard Rice, who married Bathsheba Kelley, as being the son of John Rice and Sarah Woods, and John as being the son of Ephraim. She lists a Shadrack as being another child of Ephraim mentioned in a deed from 1773.^10,4,2,11,9 He was believed to have been a teacher at Hardwick, MA.⁷ He and Sally Cooper resided at Hardwick, MA.⁷      John Rice's family was living at Somerset, VT, following his death; however, it is not known whether they had moved there prior to or after John's death. Although John could have moved his family to that area in late 1802 or early 1803, then passed away shortly after, it is also possible that his wife and children moved to Somerset after his death to be cared for by John's brother Perez and his wife Chloe.
     Sally did not remarry, but did have another child, Shadrach. Unfortunately Shadrach's father's name is unknown.⁷

     Nathaniel Bright was born on 5 May 1647 at Watertown, MA, (literally 3rd month).^1,2,3 He was the son of Henry Bright and Anna Goldstone.¹ Nathaniel Bright married Mary Coolidge, daughter of Simon Coolidge and Hannah Barron, on 21 July 1681 at Watertown, MA.^1,4 Nathaniel Bright died on 11 May 1726 at Watertown, MA; aged 79y.^1,5
