Notes |
- Gershom Rice was son of Thomas, who was the third son of the emigrant Edmund Rice, who came from England and settled in Sudbury in 1639, and afterward removed to Marlboro, where he died May 3, 1663. Gershom Rice was the second settler of Worcester coming here in 1715. Selectman, 1724, 27, 31, 33, 36, 46. Town treasurer, 1736-39. It was at his house that religious services were first held in the town. It was through the personal effort of Mr. Rice in a letter to the Governor of the Province that a guard of nineteen men was stationed here in 1724 for the defence of the settlers.
