Dear List, I am looking for information on my step grandfather Harvey Anderson Rice. He was born about 1875 in Alabama. He married my grandmother Lucy Francis Hill Jones, about 1920 in either Texas or Oklahoma. I know nothing about who Harvey's parents were or anything except the information mentioned above. Thanks Jean

Jean, I have searched the various census years from 1880 - 1930 trying to find your Harvey Anderson Rice and/or his wife Lucy. I could not find them anywhere, with any degree of certainty. There is one possibility for 1880. There is a "Andreson" Rice age 4 living in the household of his father Isaac R. Rice and mother Caroline and 6 other siblings. They are in Shelby County, AL. You can view the transcription details for the 1880 census at www.familysearch.org This might be a possibility to pursue. Do you have any idea where and when Harvey Anderson Rice and his wife Lucy died? -----Original Message----- From: David Gilliam [mailto:gilliammamag@cox.net] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 2:23 PM To: AL-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [AL-CEN] Harvey Anderson Rice Dear List, I am looking for information on my step grandfather Harvey Anderson Rice.

I see a good possibility for Henry in Alabama but I can't make a connection to Lucy. Did Henry live past 1930? Did he and Lucy have any children? Would any of Lucy's children by her prior marriage be living with her in 1930. What were the names of Lucy's children by her prior marriage?

Jean, Sorry about my earlier post which referred to Henry instead of Harvey. I had Henry "on the brain". I found Lucy in the census records in 1910 and 1920. In 1920 she is living with her parents and siblings and she has a son Everett Jones. I was never able to find her in 1930. Everett was still living with Lucy's parents in 1930. According to one post at ancestry.com, Harvey and Lucy had a son named Harry Leo Rice in 1923 in Jackson Co, OK. However I can find none of them in 1930. The Anderson Rice that Howard found in 1880 apears to be Pink A. Rice in later census records and lives in Alabama at least through 1930. I find no Harvey, Anderson, H, A or H. A.. Rice in any census record who could possibly fit. This usually means that the first name or last name is incorrect. It's possible that Harvey went by a nickname or an alias. It's also possible that he was not born in AL (although I looked for him with other birthplaces) or that his name was Harry like their son. I assume someone has found a death certificate or something that led you to the name Harvey Anderson Rice.
