Hello, I found an e-mail that my cousin had sent to me a while back, and she had found a marriage listed in Bell County, Kentucky, for our great grandfather, Joseph Rice. In the listing, it says that Joseph's parents were Kentucky Rice and Mary Gladson. On other records, it says that his parents were Thomas and Mary or Molly Rice. Does anyone know anything about a Kentucky Rice or a Mary Gladson? Joseph was born in 1874 and his birth places in different records have been Alabama, Kentucky, and Georgia. This marriage record that my cousin found was from Dec. 15, 1944, to a Cordelia Marsee.
