Has anyone seen RICE info? Looking for RICE Families - emigrated from (NORTHERN) IRELAND to VIRGINIA - before American Revolution. My ancestor WILLIAM RICE (1750?-1835) - was born in VA & died on his farm in YANCEY County, western NORTH CAROLINA - June 1835. He and partner - probably Cherokee (Agnes Weatherford?) - had 7 children who had lots of children, who also had lots of children. This William Rice's parents may have come from IRELAND to VIRGINIA COLONY (NORTHAMPTON County?), before 1750. Marian Douglas dasha@unet.com.mk Rice, Gooch, Weatherford, etc.
