John Theiss/Tice/Dice, born in Germany in 1747, married Gertrude Schmidt born 1750 in Germany. Their children, Barbara Ann, John, Elizabeth, Gertrude and Jacob were born from 1774 to 1788 in Washington Co. PA. Gertrude remarried Michael Simon after John's death.

John II married either Mary Spargo or Mary Smith (I'm not certain which is correct--there are two different accounts) in Ohio in 1799. Their children are John III, Betsy, Joseph, George, Abraham, Jacob, Lydia, Matthew, and Eli.

John Dice III born 1800 (my line) married Margaret Renfrew Phillips. Their children, Ira James (my great grandfather) and Mary were born in Ohio.

Ira married Margaret Smith and they moved to Cedar County Iowa, then West Liberty, Iowa. Their children are Jennie Luella, Lilly, Lucy, Albert Lee (my grandfather), Clifford, Winifred, Edwin and Harland all born in eastern Iowa. My grandfather, Albert Lee was born in Linn County, Iowa, and died in Muscatine County.

George, John III's brother, married Margaret Phillips' sister, Catherine.

Anyone who has this line is very welcome to contact me.
