Norma, May I chime in on the discussion on the KY Rice family? My grgraunt, Lucinda McClurg, married Benjamin J. Rice, one of the sons of Sherod Rice. It was a nice surprise to see somewhat of a connection through your query. I'm researching the McClurgs of Carter Co, namely William (wf. Lucinda Williams); James (wf. Elsabeth) who was father of William; and Joseph (wf. Sarah) who was James's father. Joseph et al were in several counties. James was born in Fleming Co., but Carter was where he had "mills." William, b. in Carter Co., migrated to St. Joseph, MO, Buchanan. I've been storing emails mentioning those who lived in Carter. My sister and I will probably visit a cemetery or two now that there is confirmation of where some of our family were buried. Thanks for stirring up the info. Teola Constance tconsta@kcnet.com
