I really appreciate this info! Thomas' grandson George Pressley Rice Sr. son of Calvin P. Rice is my husband's great grandfather. Hard to find info on this family for me. George Pressley Rice Sr. is the father of: Eunice Gertrude Marie Fred Tennie L. b. 8-1-1888, married James Kenneth Finley (have all info on this family) We think Tennie was named after Nancy Tennessee Harris who married George Mitchell Rice. Jessie b. abt 1897 Frank M. b. abt 1901 Verna A. b. abt 1905 George Pressley Jr. b. abt 1908 I'm still trying to verify much of this information. Carla Finley
I'll add your info to my file, Carla. Thanks! Below is what I have on George Pressley Rice (before I add your info.) Is that the correct wife for him? I'd appreciate any corrections.....especially with documentation. <grin> I agree with your assumption re: Tennie. Happily, Harlene Descendants of George Pressley Rice Generation No. 1 1.
