He married Rachel McCoy in Greene Co Tenn in 1866 and they had two or three children. The reason I say that is because I don't know when he died. I found Rachel by herself in the 1870 census with two children Mary Ann and Flora Belle. Then 1880 she's again by herself as a widow and a third child James Rice b April 1872 appears. Mary Ann Rice married Kennedy Bowman 1884. I don't know who Flora Belle married and James married Eva C. Fowler. This Daniel Wilson Rice is the son of David Wilson Rice who was born 1 Sept 1775 and died 7 Dec 1864 Greene Co. David had 4 wives from what I can find. 1st Polly Paxton who died 27 Nov 1811; 2nd Jane Rowe Doak, the dtr of Rev Samuel Doak who established Washington College in Washington Co and Presbyterian Church in Greeneville, Jane died 1828/1829. 3rd Mary Hannah and I believe this is Daniel Wilson Rice's mother. He also had a brother Andrew Hannah Rice b 30 Mar 1833; 4th wife Isabella Caldwell Brewer. On genforum there are several queries regarding these families and there seems to be a lot of history regarding this family. Are any of these who you are looking for? Carolyn Whitaker
