All list members who have the new history Book. I would greatly appreciate it if you would add a brief history of 2 families who were in White Co. before 1820 but were omitted.

Is the Peter's CAVE on Little Indian Creek in Putnam County that was on the old Bartlett place the same as the Peter's Cave/Cove branch that feeds into the Falling Water River near Burgess Falls??? The Rebs took salt peter from there to make gunpowder during the Civil War. Is it still accessible? Not sure if Center Hill lake covered that up or not. Would greatly appreciate any info on this. I have a deed that shows William Rice owning property on that ridge in 1826.

Looking for info on Joseph Rice, Samuel Rice who married Mary McDole, White County, TN 1880, and Green B. Rice who married Tennessee DeWeese 1880-1883 probably in Putnam County. Joseph either died or left home by 1883, while the other two men and their families vanish between 1883 and 1900. Also need information on the family of James M. STOVER who married Mary Jane Rice in Putnam County, TN in December 1880. She apparently died sometime before 1910, when James married again. I think he is buried near Boma in Putnam county, TN. I'd like to know if he and Mary Rice had any children, and who they were so they can be included in my Rice book. Tennessee Rice married William Vance Howell in White County TN in 1887, and I have no information on their family at all. She was about 29 years old when they were married and may have moved to DeKalb County, TN. Thanks!

O.k. Let's see. What I've found is that the James Rice in Wythe County moved to Greenup County, KY by 1811, and some of that Elijah Rice's descendants were there too, and both lines there wound up in Carter County, KY where William Rice of Wythe County settled. So, we see that that particular line of Rices went to Kentucky, and there is the probability that the George Rice who married Nancy Woods in Wythe County Dec 14, 1790 is probably mine. Nancy was also probably his first wife, if he was the same George who died in White County, TN in 1806. He may have been a son of William Rice of Montgomery, Wythe Counties VA, and Carter County, KY. That old William Rice was on the 1850 census in Carter County, from what I've been told, and died at the age of 94 - meaning he outlived both George Rice and my ancestor, his possible grandson, who died in 1845. The William Rice who was in Wilkes County, N.C. with four boys under 16 in 1787 and 1790 was probably your ancestor. He seemed to have lived in close proximity to the Yadkin River, which would put him in the area that later became Madison County. You should first concentrate on locating early Wilkes County AND Rowan County, N.C. records, since I think Wilkes County was established from Rowan. However, in all likelihood, your William Rice probably settled in N.C. from Virginia. A William Rice and John Rice were in Halifax, Henry and Pittsylvania Counties in the 1750's and 1760's. This is directly North of what was then Wilkes or Rowan County, N.C. My ancestor, Rowland Judd, was in Wilkes County when he died in 1802 or 1806, and had been a Captain in the Wilkes County Militia in 1780 in place of Larkin Cleveland who had been wounded on the Catawba River by the Tories. Rowland Judd was a KNOWN associate of the Cherokee, and was probably a son in law or brother in law to Outacity, Mankiller of Senaco and Oconastota, Prince of Chota (Bristol, TN), which was on the present day boundary of Tennessee and Virginia. In fact, as early as the French and Indian War, Judd was with Washington at the battle of Fort Loudon in 1757, and was also with Outacity and Oconastota, who was called "Judd's Friend". They were preparing to move against the Shawnee on the Ohio River, but couldn't do so because they ran out of supplies. Many, many Wilkes County families seem to have been involved with the Indians, and your Rices were probably no exception. I believe the "Abijah" /Elijah Rice who married Joley Ann Brown in Wilson County, Tn about 1818 was supposedly born in Cocke County, TN which is south of Hawkins County about 1795. In all likelihood, at that date, it would probably still have been either the State of Franklin, or Hawkins County. There is definite Indian blood in that Abijah Rice line, and Joley Ann Brown was the daughter of a Leonard Brown who's wife or mother was said to have been full-blooded Cherokee. This is a start, at least. Perhaps we can throw all this out on the list to see if anyone can make a connection. At present, I'm very, very interested in finding out more about those Rice families in the area which became Greenup and Carter Counties, KY. Hopefully, too, someone has access to Jackson County, TN deed records between 1800-1806 to see if George Rice is mentioned, as we would have been in that part of Jackson which became White County in 1806, just before his death. I'm sending copies of this to the rice list, tnroots, and the white county list in hopes someone might be able to give us a few clues here.

Sue, Elizabeth Bedwell who married Samuel Brewer, do you know if Samuel was a son of Lewis Brewer and Agatha Holland? If so, Samuel was a brother of John and Nancy (Brewer) Howell who were married in Grayson County March 12, 1811 and were in White County by August 1812 with Richard Cole who married Sarah Pool, daughter of William Pool Sr. Do you know if "Isham" would be a nickname for Isaiah? If so, perhaps the "Isham" Cole in White county is really Isaiah Cole who married Anner/Onner Howell in Grayson County, VA in 1804? Actually, including Sarah (Pool) Cole, there were two grandchildren of Edward Pool in White County, TN.
