My gr-grandfather, Joseph W. Rice, was born in Illinois in the 1830's. Then the couple had Harrison, Gabriel, and James, probably born in Monroe County. In 1845, Mrs. Martha Rice m Noah Mull, in Andrew Co., and in the 1850 Nodaway Co Mo Census, the Mull couple and the 4 Rice boys were in that county. Does anyone have any information on the Rice family and any record of the 3 younger Rice boys' births? Any help appreciated. Dennis
