On pages 524 and 525 of an early 1900's book appears a passage entitled:

This two page typeset excerpt from this old unidentified book appears in an area marked Notes and Queries. Also has a by-line Mounty Airy, Philadelphia and is credited to J. M. Hartman.
I'm not related to the RICE / REISS Family, but am posting the entire passage from the book here on the RICE Message Board in the hope that someone doing genealogical research may find something helpful within. I purchased the two pages on eBay from an antiquarian book dealer. I've requested the name of the book for genealogical reference, but thus far the pages have arrived - but I've not yet received correspondence as to the actual title of the early 1900's book from which these two original pages were salvaged.
