Try starting with the Rice Homestead. It's open for tours in the summer, and is run by the historical society. The people are very knowledgeable, and the rooms are packed full of items and info from that era. http://mayfieldny.org/content/History/Home/:field=documents;/content/Documents/File/156.pdf The town historian is Betty Tabor. Look up her (or the historical society's) information & they'll probably be able to be of some decent help researching the Rice family.
