Surnames: DICE Researcher: Ric Dice Email: [email protected] Date posted: Tuesday, December 1, 1998 I'm looking for DICES in KNOX CO circa 1830-1870. My g grandfather FREDERICK DICE was born in Fredricktown, OH 11 Nov. 1869; his father was WALLACE DICE; I do not know who Wallace's wife(Frederick's mother) was; I believe Wallace's father WILLIAM DICE b. 1814 Fountian Co, IN, might've come to Knox Co from IN years earlier with his brothers PHILLIP DICE and ELI DICE. A PHILLIP DICE appears on a 1850 Ohio Census entry for Knox Co, Morris Township; WILLIAM and PHILLIP both appear on a 1840 Ohio Census for Knox County. Where might I get a birth record for the Frederick DICE above? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm pretty new at this.
