I have a fair amount of information on the Joel Rice family. Some is from Shirley Malone Fritsche, who is from the Memphis area and is writing a book on the Rice family, some is from my own Enfield family research, and some is from the 1988 Gallatin Co. history, details the Rice's that moved to Gallatin Co. There is also a bio of the Ridgway Rice in the 1904? book, Memoirs of the Lower Ohio Valley, which helped me realize the connection. It might take me a while to dig the info out due to Christmas and computer problems. Cindy Birk Conley Carmi, IL Donna Barnes wrote: > Cindy, > > I belong to the Toliver, Joel Rice bunch.

Cindy, I belong to the Toliver, Joel Rice bunch. Do you have info on them or just advising the group that there were 2 bunches? I have little on Toliver and Joel, but do have quite a bit on Allen Rice, brother of Toliver and Joel. Would love to swap info. Anyone out there connect?

Bill, That would be great, I'm not sure who all was in, but I do have a letter Edgar M. Rider wrote towards the end of the civil war when he was in Texas.
