Hi List. Several years ago there were many, many postings by Lora Addison Radiches, that
were extremely helpful to my Marion County, as well as other Indiana researches. I found
many RICE marriages, and deaths, posted by Lora. I am now looking for RICE births in
Indiana and was wondering if anyone has a list, or knows if one was ever posted. I have
looked thru the Marion County message board at
ancestry.com, but didn't see any list
of births for RICE (unless I overlooked it).
Henry [my GGgr.father] and his wife Melissa were the parents of at least 5 known children
[all daughters]; Melissa had said she had 11 births by the 1900 census but only 5 living.
Henry and Melissa were married 15 July 1872 in Marion County, and lived in Marion County
all thru to the 1920 census, Emma born first in 1874, Rose last in 1889, so there were
probably a few in-between that were never recorded in the censuses [altho 1890 would have
been a bonus].
I am also wondering... if anyone has seen a list of bio's for RICE; particularly a
Henry Clay RICE, who possibly died in 1943 in IN [last known address was in Indianapolis
in 1920], born about 1850? in Indiana. In my Grandmother's notes, about her
Grandfather Henry Clay RICE, it is said that he lived to the age of 105...might have been
an article about him when he turned 100??
Thanks very much for any help on the RICE family,
Nancy
