Always interesting, items from this site! My Rice's, (Royce's really), were in Greene Co. 1790 through 1815 or so. On our recent trip back that way, I found Schmerehorns, talked about a bunch on here, buried along with some of my Rices, in the cemetery at Limestone, NY. (Anyone want names, I copied them.) A generation or two later, but likely some of the same family. It took my family about 50 years to go from Greene Co. out the west end of NY. It was very interesting retracing their trail, (in less than 5 days)! And there were Kuntz/Koontz, (Coons?), living close to them in Northeast NE. in the early 1900's. Some of these names just seem to have traveled along the same route west, together! I am also wondering if our Vader's were actually Vedders? I think the pronunciation would be much the same, like Royce was actually pronounced as Rice, boil as bile, Royal as rile and hoist as heist!
