The Frederick Rice Family reunion will be held July 1, 2000, on the old RICE
homestead on the grounds of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development
Center (OARDC).
Frederick RICE was the only son of Barnhart RICE, who immigrated from Germany
between 1728 and 1746. After serving in the Revolutionary War, Frederick
married Anna Catherine LAUFFER in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. They
later moved to Wayne County, Ohio, near Wooster. A number of Frederick and
Catherine RICE's descendants migrated to Indiana from Northeast Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania in the mid-1800s and settled in northeastern Indiana,
particularly in the counties of Huntington, Allen, Whitley, Wabash, Wells,
Adams, and Jay.
The Frederick Rice Family reunion committee is preparing an update of the
Genealogy of the Frederick Rice Family. If you are descended from Frederick
and Catherine Rice, please contact the reunion committee and update your
