    1. RE: William Rice, Hiawassee District circa 1830's
    2. Fred and Mary Salter
    3. Will, History of Rhea Co. TN Chapter 2 page 6 A partial list of the members of Captain Alexander's Company was included by Campbell in Records of Rhea that included a William Price or Rice. In a letter from W. Alexander, Capt 30th Regiment, Tennessee Militia to Col. Return J. Meigs In conformity with an order from Col. William Johnson requiring me to detach from my company nine effective men well armed and equipt to rendezvous at Highwassee Garrison 26th inst., in compliance therewith I have detailed and marched in the following men for your inspection and reception: Hugh McClung, Lewis Morgan, James Snodgrass, James Cranmore, Willis Morgan, John McColister, John Hannah, William Rice, Thomas Ownes, substitute for Cane Abel. The nine men named in the letter were to remain as a guard for the Indian Agency and Factory under the direction of Meigs. I would love to have a roster of that Garrison in order to find out who that William Rice's commanding officer was. Possibly William Johnson. Hope someone out there has this information. Sometimes, War of 1812 muster rolls have some pretty good genealogical data. Will
