Samuel RICE'S sister, Patty Permelia RICE, m. my 4th great grandfather Squire REYNOLDS, 1790, in CT. They moved to Troupsburg, Steuben Co, abt. 1808, had 12 children. Spouses of their children include HAYES, THATCHER, RIGGS, SIMPSON, MARTIN, SCHOONOVER, and PARRY. I am seeking Patty Permelia RICE'S antecedents, and further info re these collateral families.

1882 James Henry(John or J. H.)BELCHER(adopted)TINKER married Zernah Jane RICE, child of Samuel RICE's son Clark RICE's son Stephen RICE. Zernah Jane RICE TINKER DUNMORE was my grandmother. Have descendants of Clark RICE. Interested in Samuel RICE ancestors. Can we exchange?

The Rice and Elwood families are related by marrage

Louis Elwood married Stanly Rice of Addison.

The Elwoods are also from Conn. moving first to NY. Several Elwood Off springs moved west.

Louis and Stanly Rice still live in Addison NY

Louis is my Fathers first cousin. As there fathers where brothers.

Any information on Susan Rice? She was born in 1808 and married Alexander Powell and raised the family in Bath - Urbana area. Was she related to Samuel Rice?

What information do you have about the surname Ward? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if there's any link to your Tioga county Mann's. My paternal great-aunt (grand-aunt?) was married to Elmer Mann. He was MUCH older than her and they had no children. If there is a link it's only by marriage. Wish I could be of more help.

In your posted message you mention a Mann. I am searching for a Bryon Mann. Would you know anything about him. He would be from around your area or Tioga Co.

I am currently tring to trace the Rice family. I have been tol I am a decendent of Samuel Rice I just have not been able to trace it all back through. My grandmother's parents were Edith Rice and Edwin Rice. Her mother's maiden name was Rice so I have two different Rices to deal with. I am suppose to be a decendent to Samuel Rice through Edith Rice. Her parents were John G. Rice and Ruay Alvina McCaslin. John's Parents were Goerge M. Rice and Abigal. I am not sure where the conection goes from there. I have been able to find the graves so I know when they died. They are all burried in the Chenango Cemetery in Troupsburg Stueben County N.Y. My Grandmother's mother's brother John Rice and his wife Lucy are also burried there. There are a few other Rices there but I haven't quite made all the connections yet. I have been trying to Find out where Samuel Rice is burried but haven't had any luck. I do believe that the Stephen Rice burried in Chenago Cemetery is Samuel Rice's Son. I am willing to give what informaton I have.I am also interested in Clark Rice's decendents.

Shelley, A group of Samuel Rice descendants have gathered lots on this family. We're still looking for parents of Samuel who came to Steuben Co in 1791. You can contact me directly for more. Ruth Tinker Smith PGSmi@aol.com
