Posted on: Grimes Co. Tx Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Grimes/271 Surname: Rice ------------------------- My mother-in-law always called Henry, "Cousin Henry". She could not tell me how they were related to her father John Willis Rice, but I suspect that you have the wrong first name. Her grgrandfather's (John Nelson Rice) brother was Jesse Willis Rice b. 1848 in AL. They lived in Covington Co., AL before coming to Grimes Co., TX in Dec. 1878. Jesse Willis Rice's father was also Jesse Willis Rice b. 1819 (died in AL and buried in AL). Jesse Willis Rice's (b. 1848) mother was Emily B. Rice b. 1824 buried Union Hill Cemetery next to dau. Mary E. Rice Cleghorn. What do you think?
