She was born abt. 1848 in Pennsylvania. She died May 24, 1919 in Benton Harbor, Berrien County, Michigan. Bet. 1865 and 1868 she married JESSE T. RICE (son of Zachariah Rice and Nancy Landis), in PA, possibly in Landisburg, Perry County, PA (where Jesse was born and raised). According to the 1870 census, they lived in Poboyne Twp., PA; 1880 they lived in Landisburg, PA, and then in 1900 census they were in Berrien Co., Michigan. Every census showed Emily's parents were also born in PA. According to Emily's death record, her father's name was David Gray. I know the Gray part is right, but I'm not so sure about the first name being David. I looked at every David Gray in 1850 census (when Emily would have been abt. 2 yrs. old) and didn't find any that had a daughter named Emily (or Florence, as she was in 1870 census, but all over censuses said "Emily F").

Here is what I sent to somebody, apparently the wrong person, and I intended it to go to the list too but I have a new email program and I found I did not have it set up properly for 'Reply All" and it did not do what I intended. So I am now sending it to everyone on your cc list so we will all be on the same page. And apologies to anyone who has seen it before. I would only add that I am not really a RICE, and certainly not a MURPHY (I have none), researcher; I only have this on RICE because of my interest in LUPFER. 1 Henry Rice b: ca 1830 +Mary A.

Lupfer b: ca 1882 There has got to be some connection - I would surmise that Emma Lupfer Murphy was named for Emma Rice Lupfer; perhaps she was a niece or something. I was going to say maybe she was a sister of these boys, that I don't know about, but that wouldn't give her the surname Murphy since she didn't live long enough to marry. I don't have any more on these boys than what is above. I do have the marriage date of Emma T. Rice and Henry Lupfer as 11 Oct 1876. Since this is a Rice/Murphy Bible you are working with, I would guess the baby's mother was Emma's sister , who married a Murphy, and she was named for her aunt, that would make sense wouldn't it? Unfortunately I have no information on Emma Rice's siblings, if any, nor any Murphys at all. I have LUPFER info back to the Flood more or less, lots of it; it is all on my website, below.

Hello Nikki and Marilyn, For what it's worth, I have data that might be relevant to your discussion: Zachariah Rice (1731-1811) & wife Maria Appolonia Hartman (1742-1790) had a daughter Susannah (b. 1772 in Pikeland Twp., Chester Co., Pa. & d. 1/12/1856 in Perry or Juniata Co.) Susannah married Johann Jacob Hench (b. 1/31/1761 & d. 1830 in Turbett Twp., then Mifflin & now Juniata Co.) I regret I show no siblings for Susannah Rice, so I cannot help you make a connection beween this earlier Rice family and your later Rice families. That pretty well exhausts what I have on the Rice surname that might prove to be interesting. On the other hand, I have an Elizabeth Rice ( dates and parents unknown) married in Juniata Co. on 1 Apr 1846 to Emanuel Wise, Jr. (4/1/1826-1/6/1880). Elizabeth died early in Juniata Co. without any known children. If either of you have any ancestry, progeny, or dates for my Elizabeth Rice, I would deeply appreciate hearing from you. Her husband, Emanuel Wise, Jr. is a Sulouff descendant and I am trying to fill in all the gaps I have. Best regards, Nelson R. Sulouff ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 9:22 AM Subject: [PA-Perry] William and Caroline Rice > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Geirich, Ickes, Milligan, Moses > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/odB.2ACI/420 > > Message Board Post: > > Hi Nikki, > I have some information about William and Caroline Rice.

For any one trying to research companies etc and lists of officers and enlisted men in Civil War Regiments I would like to recommend an author by the name of Bates who I think chronicled all of them..........I think his volumes are called History of the Civil War or something like that but the PA State Library in Harrisburg does have a copy and you can find it with his name Bates found the 202nd Pennsylvania Volunteers Company B, Juniata County FYI
Adam Kerstetter (Feb. 7, 1791 - Feb. 18, 1853), son of Sebastian Kerstetter (Jr.), is buried in Barner's (St. John's) Church Cemetery, rural Liverpool, Pa. (Perry County). He married Lydia A. (June 15, 1797 - March 26, 1875), who is also buried at Barner's. After Adam's death in 1853, she married Joseph Shoop. I'm seeking information on Lydia and her family, especially her maiden name and the identity of her parents. Any help is greatly appreciated. Rich Kerstetter [email protected]
I could not find a David with a daughter Emily either, but did find a Hugh Gray in the 1850 census of Perry County, Madison Twp, p 363. Hugh Gray 41? (47?) farmer $2500 all in household born PA Isabella 33(?) William B. 14 Solomon 10 Emeline 2 In my family, Emily is short for Emeline, so perhaps the same holds true for yours. On a personal note - I have highlighted all the Gray surname in "30 Perry County Cemetery Records" so you must be distantly related to either me or my husband who both have ancestors in Perry County. Lightening wiped out my computer recently and I lost a huge Family Tree maker file so can not check until I get it all reentered. I have Fenical/Fengel, Myers, and Shade in Perry. My husband is related to the Barnhisels, Bowers and Shearers. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 12:04 AM Subject: [PA-Perry] Emily Florence Gray-Rice from PA to Berrien Co., MI > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: GRAY, RICE, CURTIS, WILSON, STAVES > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/odB.2ACI/419 > > Message Board Post: > > I am looking for any info on the parents and siblings of my great-great-great-grandmother, EMILY FLORENCE GRAY.

Marilyn, I can help you and there is a book on www.genealogy.com that contains info about this couple. "Flickinger Family History" Here is what I have from the "Hench & Dromgold Reunion": William was born 18 September 1826 and married 22 December 1852 to Caroline Milligan. He was a farmer and merchant and lived in Bloomfield. I remember from the reading the Flickinger book that their children ere very successful and I am not certain but either William or one of his sons was a preacher. I will go dig out some notebooks and see what else I may have written down about the family-- Nikki PS-I don't know if you need it or not but I have alot on Zachariah and "Abigail" Hartman Rice-all very interesting. There is a DAR chapter in DC named after Abigail and a plaque in her memory at Valley Forge. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 11:22 AM Subject: [PA-Perry] William and Caroline Rice > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Geirich, Ickes, Milligan, Moses > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/odB.2ACI/420 > > Message Board Post: > > Hi Nikki, > I have some information about William and Caroline Rice.

They are my grgrandparents. William's father was John Rice who was born March 29, 1792. John's wife was Margaretta Ickes. She was born April 4, 1798.

I have information showing the lineage back to Zacharia and Maria, but I have some holes in the information. If I can be of some help to you, please let me know. Marilyn

She was born abt. 1848 in Pennsylvania. She died May 24, 1919 in Benton Harbor, Berrien County, Michigan. Bet. 1865 and 1868 she married JESSE T. RICE (son of Zachariah Rice and Nancy Landis), in PA, possibly in Landisburg, Perry County, PA (where Jesse was born and raised). According to the 1870 census, they lived in Poboyne Twp., PA; 1880 they lived in Landisburg, PA, and then in 1900 census they were in Berrien Co., Michigan. Every census showed Emily's parents were also born in PA. According to Emily's death record, her father's name was David Gray. I know the Gray part is right, but I'm not so sure about the first name being David. I looked at every David Gray in 1850 census (when Emily would have been abt. 2 yrs. old) and didn't find any that had a daughter named Emily (or Florence, as she was in 1870 census, but all over censuses said "Emily F"). If anyone can help or is connected to this line, please e-mail me at [email protected] Thank you! :-) Kelly Kahlau

Surnames: Shoaff, Shoff Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/odB.2ACI/418 Message Board Post: I need to find some information on Jacob Shoaff and his wife Margaret ?. Jacob was born about 1800-1805 in what I believe to be Franklin County. In 1826 he purchased land in Toboyne township, Perry County. 1850 Census shows Jacob and Margaret to have nine children: Susannah, age 17, Matilda, age 13, Mary, age 12, William (my Ancestor) age 9, Elizabeth, age 8, George, Age 7, Catherine, age 5, Jacob, age 3, and Sarah, age 2. If anyone is tracing this family of Shoff's and has any information on any of the children and especially on the parents, Jacob and Margaret, I would appreciate the help. William Shoff that is my ancestor owned ? or operated ? Clark's Mill. This is not the Shoaff's of Shoaff's Mill fame. It has been very confusing researching my family because of the two families residing in Perry county at the same time. Can anyone help?

Surnames: Charles, Snyder Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/odB.2ACI/416 Message Board Post: I am looking for anyone who has found information on a Christian Charles who had at least two sons (Christian b: 1770 and George b: 1773) in Lancaster Co. or surrounding area. Also, anyone who knows anything about the Charles family when they lived in the Shippensberg area for a time. George and his brother Christian finally moved to Perry County (then Cumberland Co.). George married Catharine Snyder (daughter of Valentine and Saloma) and one of his children was David (b: 1799). David married a Mary ___, and he died in 1832. I can not find any trace of Mary. I assume she remarried. David and Mary Charles had two sons Benjamin F. and Daniel David who moved to Ohio. I would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about this family.
