DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS RICE
=========== == ====== ====
1.THOMAS RICE
Thomas Rice is
mentioned in Raleigh Travers Green's "Genealogical
and Historical Notes on Culpepper County Virginia."
"Thomas
Rice was an Englishman by birth of Welsh extraction. He was
an early adventurer into Virginia. Where he spent the first part of
his life is not certainly known. In the latter part of his life he
owned a small plantation in the lower part of what is now
called
Hanover County.
Here he left his wife, with nine sons and three
daughters, and went to England to receive a considerable
estate which
had been left him, but returned no more. It was reported that he died
at sea."
Thomas' wife's
name was Marie.

7.HENRY RICE
1.THOMAS RICE
It is not known
positively that Henry Rice is the son of Thomas
and Marie rice.
They lived in the same general area of VA and we will
assume for the moment that Henry is the son of Thomas and
Marie.
Henry married
Margaret Bohannon. Margaret was d
daughter of
Dunkin and Sarah Bohannon of St. Thomas Parish, Orange
County, VA.
On January 26,
1747, Henry's estate was appraised. He
must have
died before the end of the year 1746.
In 1751, a bond
made Samuel Rice guardian of Michael, Fisher,
Sarah, Milly, and Amon Bohannon Rice, orphans of Henry
Rice. In
1767, a settlement of the Henry Rice estate was made to
William
Rice, Fisher Rice, Michael Rice, Ann Rice, Sarah Finnell,
Mildred
Rice and Amon Bohannon Rice. This suggests that these children
of Henry were minors in 1751 and that the youngest had
attained
his majority in 1767.
