GenForum Notes:
My ancestors are Deacon Edmond RICE's sons, Henry RICE b. 1617 and Samuel RICE b. 1634 both in Stanstead, Suffolk, England. Jan

In Orange Co., Va. Will Book 2, 1744-1778, abstracted and compiled by John Frederick Dorman, p.77, is this listing:

25 Sept. 1767. Returned and sworn to by Samuel Rice.

My question is this, What is Margaret (Rice) Shackleford's husband's first name? There are two Henry Shacklefords born in Orange Co., Va. abt 1732. One Henry married a Mary? and went to Ky.
The Henry Shackleford (b. abt. 1732) that I am interested in marr.? abt 1760? and by 1790 was in Elbert Co., Ga. He died in 1818-19 in Elbert Co.,Ga. His will doesn't mention a wife.

Anyone know if this Margaret (Rice) Shackleford is Henry's wife?

There are a couple of typographical errors here that should be noted. The christening date of Lydia, daughter of Edmund & Thomasina (Frost) Rice, is off by a hundred years. Also, at the beginning where "Stamstead" is mentioned, that should be "Stanstead." Finally, while "Berkhamstead" is pronounced "Barkhamstead," the standard spelling of this place is with an "e," just as "Hertford" is pronounced "Hartford."

I have been informed that the wife of John Moore (mother of Henry Rice's wife Elizabeth Moore) was not Elizabeth Whale, but rather Elizabeth Rice. (See Suzette Thompson's post on the Moore Genforum.) I have not had a chance to verify this yet. Reportedly the confusion stems from the fact that the grandmother (also named Elizabeth) married Philemon Whale (who died in 1675 in Sudbury) as her second husband. Thus, there evidently was an Elizabeth Frost in this family, but she was John Moore's mother in law rather than his wife. To add to the confusion, I am told that this Elizabeth's first husband was Henry Rice, though obviously not the same person as her granddaughter's husband of the same name.

If the Rev. David Rice's fragmentary memoir is accurate in saying that Thomas Rice went to England(?) in connection with an inheritance, we should be able to look at English records to find out what inheritance. Unfortunately, it may well be an Irish inheritance and most of the Irish records were burned in 1921. Irish possibilities include the estates of Sir Stephen Rice (1637-1715) -- but his son Edward (b. 1663) turned Anglican and saved the estates -- perhaps the Egmont estates if this Thomas Rice is related to the Thomas Rice who was Egmont's Steward ca 1702-3 -- and possibly estates in question in Hamond v. Rice (Ireland 1713 PRO C/3/285/28, Huntingdon 1712 PRO C/10/428/52, 1715 PRO C/12/1533/14), in Asgill v. Rice (1723/4/5 PRO C/608/1) in Rice v. Browne (Geo I PRO C/11/1178/24), and in Rice v. O'Hara (Geo I PRO C11/1232/37). The references are to the MS Court of Chancery documents in the PRO (Public Record Office) in Kew. Of course, there were 17th-century Rice families in Stepney and Shoreditch (Middlesex) and London, and some of the Irish Rices wound up in London. Patrick Rice of the Inner Temple died near Tunbridge Wells, in Kent, 11 May 1687 (Prerogative Ct of Canterbury, PROB 4/3940 in PRO). Also, several Rices are recorded in the Canterbury PROB as having died "beyond the seas" -- notably Richard Rice of Shoreditch 14 Apr 1687 (PROB 4/1733), Henry Rice of Stepney 3 Sept 1672 (PROB 4/16217) and George Rice of Bermondsey 26 Jun 1679 (PROB 4/21513). Also several died at sea, John Rice of Stepney 16 Mar 1678 (PROB 4/15649), John Rice of Bermondsey 23 Jun 1691 (PROB 4/17130), James Rice of Kent 28 Apr 1674 (PROB 4/21142) -- and note also the deaths of Edward Rice of Southwark 1688 (PROB 5/2295), Thomas Rice of St Michael Coventry (clothier) on 25 Feb 1662 (PROB 4/11135), Thomas Rice of Whitechapel (Middlesex) 4 Nov 1668 (PROB 4/12187), and Richard Rice of St Alban's London (at Winchfield in Hants) 27 Aug 1662 (PROB 4/18655).
