Deacon Edmund Rice^1,2,3

Deacon Edmund Rice Memorial - with his 9th-greatgrandson Steven Craig Tally, Sudbury MA September 2015

Biography

• Birth: Deacon Edmund Rice was born circa 1594.^1,3
• Marriage: He married Thomasine Frost, daughter of Edward Frost and Thomasine Belgrave, on 15 October 1618 in St Marys Church, Bury St. Edmunds, Co of Suffolk, England.^2,4,3
• Residence: Deacon Edmund Rice lived in 1627 in Berkhamstead, Co of Hertfordshire, England.^5,3
• Occupation: He was a deputy to the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts between 1654 and 1656 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts.^6,3
• Marriage: He married Mercy Hurd on 1 March 1655/56 in Sudbury, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.^2,7,3
• Residence: He lived in 1660 in Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.^6,3
• Death: He died on 3 May 1663 in Sudbury, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, at age ~69.^1,2,8,3
• Burial: He was buried in Old Burying Ground, Wayland, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.^2,9,3
• Note: Here are some notes on Edmund's grave, and also information regarding research on his possible parentage.
  
  The grave is marked by a monument designed by Arthur Wallace
  Rice of Boston, Massachusetts. It was dedicated by the Rice Association
  on 29 August 1914. A boulder with a bronze tablet was also
  erected by the Association and it marks Edmund's homestead on
  the Old Connecticut Path in Wayland. Burial is recorded in
  Marlborough, Massachusetts vital records as "at Sudbury."
  
  After petitioning the General Court for a new plantation, he was granted a fifty-acre plot, settling on the north side of the pond along the "great road" not far from the Williams Tavern ( lived on "The Great Road" on the northerly side of the pond (Cochituate Pond). The pond is also spelled Wachittuate, Caochituet, Chochichawicke,
  Coijchawicke, Catchchauitt, Charchittawick, Katchetuit,
  Cochichawauke, or Cochichowicke
  
  Edmund was a Selectman in 1644 and subsequent years; a Deacon of the
  church in 1648, and, in 1656, one of the partitioners for a new
  plantation that became known as Marlborough.
  
  Twice in the 20th century nationally recognized research
  genealogists have attempted to determine the parents and
  ancestors of Edmund Rice. Mary Lovering Holman described the
  negative result of her search for records in the parishes near
  Stanstead and Sudbury, Suffolk Co., England in "English
  Notes on Edmund Rice", The American Genealogist, Volume 10
  (1933/34), pp. 133 - 137. Mrs Holman is considered by many to
  be one of the best research genealogists in the 20th century.
  In 1997 the Edmund Rice (1638) Association commissioned Dr.
  Joanna Martin, a nationally recognized research genealogist who
  lives in Hitcham, Suffolk, England, only a few miles from
  Stanstead and Sudbury, to search again for records of Edmund
  Rice's parents. Dr. Martin reported in 1999 that she found no
  record that identified Edmund's parents or ancestral line.
  
  Several authors of published works and computer data sets have
  claimed names for Edmund Rice's parents. Regrettably they have
  not given sources that would assist in definitive genealogical
  research. For example, the Ancestral File and International
  Genealogical Index, two popular computer data sets widely
  distributed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
  offer parent candidates that include: Henry Rice and Margaret
  Baker, Henry Rice and Elizabeth Frost, Thomas Rice and
  Catherine Howard, and Thomas Rice and Elizabeth Frost.
  
  From Mrs. Holman's paper we have an excellent record of one
  Henry Rice's marriage to Elizabeth Frost in November 1605 at
  Stanstead. Mrs. Holman also documents the baptism of Edmund's
  first child on 23 August 1619 at Stanstead. If this is the
  Henry Rice and Elizabeth Frost to which the LDS records refer,
  the LDS records must be erroneous. Our researchers have not
  been able to find records that support any Henry Rice and
  Elizabeth Frost, Henry Rice and Margaret Baker, Thomas Rice and
  Catherine Howard, or Thomas Rice and Elizabeth Frost as parents
  of Edmund Rice.
  
  A scholarly investigation by Donald Lines Jacobus, considered
  by many as the dean of modern American genealogy, appeared in
  The American Genealogist, volume 11, (1936), pp. 14-21 and was
  reprinted in the fall of 1968 and the winter of 1998 issues of
  Newsletter of the Edmund Rice (1638) Association. Jacobus
  traced many of the false accounts to the book by Dr. Charles
  Elmer Rice entitled "By the Name of Rice", privately published
  by Dr. Rice at Alliance, Ohio in 1911.
  
  Sudbury, England includes three parishes, two of which do not
  have complete records for the years near 1594, which is
  Edmund's most likely birth year. Edmund Rice deposed in a court
  document on 3 April 1656 that he was about 62 years old. Thus,
  if he were born in Sudbury his records have been lost and we
  may never know his origin.
  
  In his address to the 1999 annual meeting of the Edmund Rice
  (1638) Association, Gary Boyd Roberts, Senior Researcher, New
  England Historic Genealogy Society, reviewed all of the
  genealogical sleuthing on Edmund's parentage. Mr. Roberts is
  well known for his research on royal lineage. He concluded that
  there was no evidence whatsoever that supports the published
  accounts of Edmund Rice's parents and no evidence that Edmund
  Rice was from a royal lineage.
  
  The Edmund Rice (1638) Association is very interested in
  proving the ancestry of Edmund Rice. The association encourages
  anyone who can identify a primary source that names Edmund and
  his parents to identify that source. Records of a baptism,
  estate probate, or land transaction naming Edmund and his
  parents are the most likely records to contain that proof.
  Until someone can cite such a record, the association must
  state emphatically that Edmund Rice's parents and ancestry are
  not known and that Edmund Rice's descendants can not claim
  royal ancestry.

Dorcas Rice^1,2,3,4

Parents

Biography

• Birth: Dorcas Rice was born on 29 January 1663/64 in Sudbury, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.^5,2,6,4
• Name-Var: Dorcas Rice was also known as Dorcas Forbush.⁴
• Note: She was dismissed from the Marlboro Church. There has been some debate that Dorcas Rice first married a
  John Weldon or Walderne. That record appears in the LDS
  Ancestral File. A marriage of a Dorcas Rice and John Welderne
  appears in the Wenham, Massachusetts VR at 22 Sep 1680. Further the
  marriage resulted in at least one child, a son born 26 Jun 1696
  at Wenham. The Edmund Rice (1638) Association discounts that
  the Wenham Dorcas is the Dorcas listed in this record. Dorcas
  would have been only 16 years of age and there is no evidence
  of exchange of other families between Sudbury and Wenham at
  this time.
• Death: She died on 24 March 1753 in Westborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts, at age 89.^7,4
