Some time ago I researched an extensive list of the Rice family from a web site for "Descendents of Edmund Rice, Generation Three". In it is listed Deacon Edmund Rice, (son of Edward[2], Edmund[1]) b.Dec. 9, 1653, Sudbury, Middlesex Co. MA. m. Joyce Russell, dtr of Wm. Russell & Martha (?) on Oct. 13, 1680 at Sudbury, Middlesex Co. MA. Died on Sept. 25, 1719 at Sudbury. Many details included in that listing regarding his property, will, activities, etc. and his & Joyce's children: (1)Joyce, b. Aug 3, 1681, m. Samuel Abbott, son of George Abbott & Sarah Farnum on June 26, 1705 at Watertown, Middlesex Co.. She died before 1750. (2)Edmund, b. July 9 1688, d. Oct. 1, 1712 at Sudbury. (3Lydia, b. May 24, 1690, m. Joseph Parmenter, son of John Parmenter & Elizabeth Cutler on April 23, 1717 at Sudbury. (4)Jason, b. abt. 1692, m. Abigail Clark on May 31, 1722 at Watertown, Middlesex Co., d. Feb. 19, 1729/30 at Sudbury. (5)William, m. (1st) Martha Rice, dtr of Isaac Rice & Si! bbell Collins, on Oct 7, 1719 at Sudbury. m.(2nd) Hannah Graves on May 10 1733 at Sudbury, died in 1769 in Sudbury. You may want to try looking up that site. There is a ton of information on the Rice family and reveals other family links as well, such as Moore, Russell, Wheeler, etc. Hope that information will be helpfull to you both.
