Hello, I don't remember if I've mentioned this family recently, but I'd like to find descendants of theirs. The main reason is that I hope they might have information on my great-great-grandfather, Charles RICE. And, I hope that they have a picture of him. When I looked at the 1880 census for Charles and Amelia (RICE) McNEAR / MacNEAR, I saw 2 ladies with the HILTON name living with them. When I searched for Charles McNEAR's parents on-line a few minutes ago, one researcher said his parents were David McNEAR and Maria HILTON in Lincoln County, Maine. So, Elizabeth might have been Charles McNEAR's cousin, or some relative. Charles and Amelia McNEAR later lived in Medford, MA, and they were buried in the cemetery in West Medford. It took me a long time to find out that my gr-gr-grandfather, Charles RICE, was buried with them. (After he separated from his wife, Adelaide, ~1879, I don't know where he lived, but he eventually became a live-in gardener for a mansion in Milton, MA. ~1915 he went to live with his McNEAR nephew in Ashland, MA, and that is where he died.
