Off. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I posted the material below in 2003, but I believe it fits with the above. I have done a lot of research lately in Caswell County, NC, Louisa and Albemarle counties, VA. I cannot find any definitive documentation of the relationship of Hezekiah who sold land in 1763 to John Mitchie in Albemarle, however he does seem to have ties to Louisa County. In 1762 Hezekiah was a vestryman in Trinity Parish which was in Louisa County. A suit was brought against Hezekiah and James Michie in 1762 by John Russell in Louisa County. The majority of the records of Hanover County were destroyed in the Civil War with the exception of a few extant records for 1730s. The records of Louisa County, formed from Hanover in 1742, contain a vast amount of information relative to Hanover County. The Thomas Rice who patented land in 1719 in the portion of New Kent which later became Hanover and at least some land in the portion of Hanover which became Louisa County died in 1744 according to according to the following indenture found in the records of Louisa County: 28 Jan. 1745: William Rice of Louisa Co. and Thomas Rice of Hanover Co., St. Martin's Par., Exors. of Thomas Rice dec'd. of St. Martin's Par., Hanover Co. to Samuel Winston of Fredericksville Par., Louisa. Thomas Rice, late of Hanover Co., by his Last Will and Testament bearing date 4 Apr. 1744, directed that land joining to Thomas Rice's land in Fredericksville Par., be sold to discharge his just debts. For L40 currt. money. 400 acres...Samuel Winston's line..up Brooke's line north to Capt. Charles Barret's corner...Anderson's line. William Rice Thos. Rice Wit: A. J. Smith, Thomas Jackson, Jeremiah. 28 Jan. 1745 acknowledged by William Rice and Thomas Rice. It appears this was the same Thomas Rice with wife Jane who conveyed 300 acres on the Cubb Creek (present day Louisa County) to Thomas Jackson in an indenture dated June 5, 1735 found in the records of Hanover County. Louisa records reveal Thomas Rice and his, Jane, sold land in Fredericksville Parish on the Cubb Creek to Ann Mills of St. Martin's Parish, Hanover County April 25, 1749. It appears from the above info, the Thomas who was in Caswell,NC may have been the one described in the 1745 Louisa record as the executor of the estate of the earlier Thomas who is believed to have been a son of Thomas Rice and his wife, Marce. The William Rice found in the records of Louisa County was most likely the son of Thomas of Hanover County who died in 1744 as indicated by the 1745 Louisa record. 1)Thomas Rice and Marce of Hanover County, VA 2)William Rice d. 1737 Hanover will names wife Elizabeth and sons: 3)David Rice 3)Micajah Rice 3)Shadrach 3)William Rice 2)Thomas Rice of Hanover d. 1745 3)Thomas and Jane of Louisa County, VA (Later Sheriff in Caswell, NC) 4)Nicholas Rice.
