I would appreciated any info on descendants or relations of Thomas RICE, who died in 1804, who went to Tennessee in the early part of the 1880's, particulary into the Wilson and Sumner Co. areas. My gggg grandfather Abijah RICE, b. @ 1797 in Cocke County, TN, was I believe part of this line. In 1817, he married Jaley Ann BROWN in Wilson Co., TN (I believe this to be Abijah, even though the license is for an "Elijah" RICE, yet the name is spelled "Ebijah" twice--also we know for certain that his wife's name WAS Jaley Ann BROWN, according to Guion Miller records.) By 1818 or 1819, they were in Southeastern Missouri. Thanks, Doug Powers
