His children were Jane, Martha, John & Samuel, per his will. Henry arrived from Ireland in the early 1790's and Solomon was listed in Dutchess County in 1790. I've not found any connections between these Rice families, so far. Hope this helps. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
