Rice City in Coventry

Rice City was originally founded along the Great North Road around 1736 by two men named Adam and Gabriel Love. This section of Coventry was known as the Seven Mens Land in the original Shawmut Purchase.

In 1711 Providence needed a road to Connecticut for trading but it did not come to fruition until 1714 when Rhode Island workers began constructing a road at the Weybosset Bridge in Providence to the colony line. This road, which became known as the Great North Road, passed through the lands of Adam Cason, John Burlingame, Randall Rice, Captain John Waterman, Thomas Havens, and Captain Richard Rice (See: Hopkins Hollow). The road was completed in 1716 at 60 miles long and was used to transport goods and people from Providence to Norwich.

Because the road was heavily traveled it was in constant need of repair. The demand of maintaining the road became too great for all the towns along the road so in 1794 it was decided to turn it into a toll road. In October 1795 the Providence Norwich Turnpike Society was incorporated and a toll was charged for the use of this road, making it the second toll road in Rhode Island.

In 1747 Caleb Greene, bought 200 acres of his father’s (John Greene) land complete with a homestead located along the north side of the Great North Road. In 1795 Caleb sold one acre of this property to Benjamin Clarke. In February 1805 a toll gate was constructed on this property on the north side of the turnpike within five miles of the Connecticut border. The toll booth was a one story wooden building that sat in the road with a small window and a door. The date of construction of the toll booth is not known but is believed to be mid-18th century.

The toll for use of this road was 12 and a half cents for four-wheeled vehicles drawn by more than two horses, 10 cents for four-wheeled vehicles drawn by two horses, and eight cents for pleasure carriages drawn by one horse. The toll was waved if the person was traveling by foot, horseback or on town business.

Benjamin Clarke sold the one acre to Stephen M. Pierce in 1808. In 1819 it was sold again, this time to Stephen Walker and Pardon Tillinghast. This property included a dwelling house, barn, tannery and building which was mostly likely the toll booth that became known as Walkers Toll. The Turnpike operated until December 1865 when the company deeded all the rights and title to the land to the Town of Coventry.

Rice City was named after the Rice Family that resided and operated a Tavern along Plainfield Pike. Today, Rice City lies between Flat River Road and Sisson Road. Other roads making up Rice City are Vaughn Hollow Road, Potter Road and Plainfield Pike. The building that was originally the toll booth can still be seen today on the property of 732 Plainfield Pike.

JAMES J. RICE AND EBENEZER RICE, OF SALINA, NEW YORK; LAURA RICE ADMINISTRATRIX OF SAID JAMES J. RICE, DECEASED.

GRAVEL-PUMP FOR EXCAVATING WELLS, etc.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 883, dated August 15. 1838.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ebenezer Rice, of Salina, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, in conjunction with James J. Rice, deceased, late of Salina aforesaid, have invented a new and useful machine which we denominate a "gravel-pump" for the purpose of excavating wells and sinking shafts in soils composed of coarse gravel and sand; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description.

First a cast iron tube or cylinder represented by Figure 1 in the annexed drawing from eleven to twelve inches in diameter

I5:4nd three fourths of an inch in thickness represented by letter (A.) At about twentyone inches from the bottom at (B.) it is reduced by bevel of two and one half inches to a neck (C.,) of eight and one half inches

20 in diameter and 'fifteen inches in length, in which the piston of the pump will operate when in use. At its lower extremity it should have triangular spaces of about one inch (D) to prevent it from becoming too

25 firmly fixed in the sand. A bottom of some strong wood not liable to split about two inches in thickness with a circular opening in the center, of at least six inches, is firmly connected to the inside of the pump by bolts,

30 nails, or screws, immediately above the triangular openings. In the upper side of the bottom, are inserted in a secure manner, about twelve pieces of whale-bone of five and six inches, alternate in length, inclin

35 ing to a point at top so as to form a cone, to prevent the escape of coarse gravel when received in the vacuum. This cone may be formed of slips of tough wood, plates _ of elastic metal, or any other substitute which

40 will preserve a conical form, easily admitting the substance to be excavated and preventing its escape. Whale bone is found to answer the purpose perfectly, can easily be replaced when broken, is elastic, strong, and

45 cheap. To prevent sand and fine gravel from escaping, a shirt or piece of canvas, of about the size of the inside of the pump, is nailed or otherwise attached to the bottom, immediately and closely around the inser

50 tion of the whale-bones. It is about twelve inches in length and open at the top, and collapsing around the cone prevents the passage of air substances from the bottom of the pump except water.

The piston (E.) is in the usual form of 55 cast iron, firmly attached to its rod, and having from eight to twelve holes of an inch or less in diameter, to permit the escape of the water, but should not be so large as to permit coarse gravel to pass, which, by be- 60 coming wedged between the outside of the pump and the tubing^ would obstruct the removal of the pump when charged or . loaded with gravel. Encircling the rod is a thin cast iron cap or valve (F) with leather 65 secured to its under side and allowed to play or slide upon the rod about three inches to a bulb or enlargement of the rod (Gr.) The upper extremity of the neck is surrounded by a band (H.) attached by rivets, and 70 bent so as to form holes or eyes (I) for the attachment of the bail (J) which encircling the rod at its curve, its extremities pass through the eyes, and for its more ready connection and detachment, are secured by the 75 split, or double wedge elastic keys ?.(&).

Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal section of the machine, with the apparatus cornbind as in operation. A. the body of the pump; B, the bevel; C, the neck; D, the bot- .80. torn or block, with its circular opening E; F, the whale bones connected with the bottom forming a cone; G, shirt or canvas surrounding whale bones; H, piston with the cap or valve resting upon it; I, hole 85 in the piston to permit water to pass; J, piston rod; K, bulb on piston rod; L, bail; M, eye in the band of the pump for bail; N,:key hole in the bail; O, O, double wedge or elastic keys; P, Q, nuts or screws on 90 the extremities of the piston rod.

Fig. 3: A, the piston; B, cap on valve; C, bulb on the piston rod; D, nut on top of the rod; E, screw on top of the piston rod to attach pole or rope; F, nut on bottom of rod 95 to secure piston thereto; G, G, &c., holes in the piston to permit escape of water; H, bail; I, key holes in bail.

Fig. 4 represents the bottom, or block of the machine, with its circular opening, and 100 the canvas encircling the cone of whale bones, in the situation it would appear when exhausted, and filling with gravel. A, bottom; B, circular opening; C, canvas or shirt inclosing cone of whale bones. ;. 105

Use: This pump, or machine, is inserted in a well, or shaft, which should be properly tubed, with cast or sheet iron or other

883

proper material with space to permit it to pass readily, and having a rope, or rods connected with the end of the piston, is worked in the manner of a pump, until suf5 ficiently charged with the substance to-be removed, when it is raised by a windlass or other power. It is particularly adapted to the excavating of shaft pan'brine, and was discovered while excavating wells for that

10 purpose, as no instrument was known, which would readily raise the gravel from the bed without great delay, and difficulty, and at same time leave the sides of the well loose, and pervious to the transmission of the brine;

15 the ordinary process of drilling merely crowding the stones from the shaft, and rendering the sides of the well compact, hard, and nearly excluding the passage of small streams of'brine into the well. It can be made

20 of any size corresponding with the tubing, or capacity of the shaft, but the above is recommended as a suitable size, which has been found by practice, to answer a valuable purpose. It may also be used to excavate sand,

25 or gravel, from docks, or rivers, and to

raise articles from beneath deep water, when their location is known.

What we claim in behalf of Ebenezer Rice'and'the legal representatives of James and the legal representatives of James J. 30 J. Rice, deceased, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is??

The manner in which we have combined and connected the respective parts of the above described machine, for the purpose 35 of excavating wells and shafts, and the removal of sand and gravel therefrom; that is to say, we claim the combination of the exhausting apparatus with the cylinder, the conical bars of whale-bone, or other mate- 40 rial, and the canvas surrounding the same, constructed and operating in the manner set forth. ??:'?'-''
