I am descended from Lucinda M. Rice, born 1821 in Rowan Co. She married Giles Rary 25 April 1844. Lucinda's parents were Samuel Rice and Lucy Brooks and I have recently been doing some research on this line of Rice's. I have Loose Estates Papers for many of the Rice's who died early in Rowan and have been trying to put the pieces together. It appears they are all related...Allen Rice, William Rice, Isam Rice, Phillip Rice, etc. Is there anyone on this list who is researching this line? Would love to share information. I am also looking for a male Rice descendant of Samuel Rice, born 1785, died 1847 Rowan Co, and wife Lucy Brooks, born 1786, in Virginia to volunteer for DNA testing to compare with many other Rice's who have already had this done.
