    EDMUND RICE was born in England about 1594, probably in Stanstead, Suffolk. He was either younger brother or son of Henry Rice who married Elizabeth Frost, sister of Thomasine, in 1605. The marriage of Edmund Rice and Thomasine Frost was recorded on the register of Saint Mary’s, Bury, Suffolk, on 10/15/1618. She was born in Stanstead, Suffolk, on 8/11/1600, the daughter of a wealthy clothier, Edward Frost….She died in Sudbury, MA, on 6/13/1654, and Edmund married again in Marlboro, MA, on 3/1/1655, Mercy (Hurd), the widow of Thomas Brigham of Cambridge, MA. She had three sons and two daughters by her first marriage. Edmund died on 5/3/1663 in Marlboro, but was buried in Sudbury….

    The Rice family lived first in Stanstead, Suffolk, and later in Great Barkhamstead, Hartfordshire, England. They were settled in Sudbury, MA, by 1639, where Edmund was made Freeman in 1640. He was Selectman in 1639, 1644, and subsequently Deacon in 1640 and Representative in 1654.

    He was one of the substantial men of the plantation, owning lands in and out of the town, some by the grant of the Court. He shared in all the divisions of uplands and commons. The total number of acres which he received as an original inhabitant was 247 acres. His first dwelling in Sudbury was on old North Street. This he sold in 1642 to John Moore…. He bought of the Widow Mary Axtell six acres of land with her dwelling house, in the south part of the town, and some years afterwards he bought of Philemon Whale…his house and nine acres adjacent to the Axtell place. These together formed the old Rice homestead in Sudbury, which remained in the family for many years. In 1647 he took a ten-year lease on the Oliver Glover farm, mostly in what is now Framingham. In 1657 he bought 200 more acres. In 1656 he was a petitioner for the new town of Marlborough, where he received grants of a house-lot and fifty acres, and other lands in proportion, and whither he removed in 1660.

    His inventory amounted to £566, the house, etc., to £170.

    Notes:

    Thomas emigrated with his parents and lived in Sudbury where he was made a freeman in 1660. He moved to Marlborough in 1664 and was one of the original proprietors of the town. In 1675, when the Indians destroyed the town, Thomas moved back to Sudbury and remained there the rest of his life.

    He was termed a yeoman and/or husbandman (both meaning farmer). He seemed to continue in his father's footsteps, making many real estate transactions all for the improvement of the family fortunes.

    His wife Mary was named executrix of his will, which was dated 11 Nov 1681 and proved 4 Apr 1682. The initial inventory placed the value at 702 Pounds, but a secondary inventory dated 19 Dec 1681 added another 370.01.00 Pounds to the total. An item in the inventory that I found interestingly worded was, "Horse, bridle, saddle with all his trooping furniture at 10 Pounds.

    Thomas Rice (1626-1681) of Sudbury, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, son of Edmund and Thomasine (Frost) Rice. Thomas Rice married Mary King (1630-1715), daughter of Thomas and Anne (--?--) King in about 1651, and they had thirteen children: Grace King (1653-1654); Thomas Rice (1654-????); Mary Rice (1656-1733); Peter Rice (1658-1753); Nathaniel Rice (1660-1726); Sarah Rice (1662-1742); Ephraim Rice (1665-1732); Gershom Rice (1667-1768); James Rice (1670-1730); Frances Rice (1671-1721); Jonas Rice (1673-1753); Grace Rice (1675-1768); and Elisha Rice (1679-1761).

    Thomas Rice of Sudbury died 16 Nov 1681 with a fairly large estate. His will (transcribed from Middlesex County Probate Records, Probate Packet #18,810, FHL Microfilm 0,421,502, copy in Middlesex County Probate Records, volume 5, pages 394-395):

    The will was proved on 4 April 1682, with John Haynes senior and Peter King making oath to the will.

    On 19 December 1681, the lands and chattels of Thomas Rice senior, deceased, in Marlborough were appraised by Gamaliel Beaman, Samuel Rice and Abraham Williams. This inventory totaled 370 pounds. It included the following real property:

    1) Homestall and housestall given him by the town of Marlborough being 35 acres of upland and the second and third divisions of upland and all his divisions of meadows and rights in the town (260 pounds).

    John Rice was born on 20 December 1651 at Sudbury, Massachusetts, a son of Edward Rice and Agnes Bent. He married Tabitha Stone, daughter of Deacon John Stone and Anna Rogers, on 2 November 1674 at Sudbury. John and Tabitha were the parents of eleven children:

    John Rice (1675-1733)

    Aaron Rice (1700-1755)

    The part of Sudbury that John Rice resided in is now part of Wayland, on the easterly side of the road leading from Weston to Saxonville, and on part of the homestead of his grandfather Edmund Rice, not far distant from "the spring," near which was the residence of his brother, Deacon Edmund Rice. John was a subscriber of Prince's Chronology, and was fond of historical reading.
    John died on 6 September 1719 at Sudbury. His estate was probated on 29 January 1719/20 at Wayland, Middlesex Co, MA. He died intestate. His widow Tabitha and son Moses were appointed Administrators. Inventory was taken Sept 17, 1719, "Widow Tabitha, being aged and infirm, made oath at Weston."
    Exact burial site is unknown, but possibly in the oldest cemetery in Sudbury, he was possibly buried on the family property.
