Mary, I could not respond to your message personally. I do not know anything about the Rice family beyond Humphrey Posey Rice. He was born in either SC or GA, in about 1820. His name is from Rev. Humphrey Posey. I have been told that Rev. Peter Kuykendall, Rev. Byars and Humphrey Posey Rice's father (or my great grandfather's ancestor,) were all involved in helping establish the early Baptist churches in Georgia. Some of our Rice's have stated they thought Grandpa Rice's father was a Circut Rider Minister, but I believe it was his grandfather, Peter Kuykendall, that they are talking about. Kay
