Rice was born in 1618 at Barkhamstead, England; baptised 10/20/1622. He was christened on Oct 26, 1622 at Stanstead, Suffolk County, England, 26th per TAG, 20th per Rice Gen'l Register, under the name of Rise. Name given as Edmund, not Edward. Nonetheless, the ERA is convinced that Edward was the child baptised (and of course born) that year, and that he exaggerrated his age in later life. He married
Agnes Bent, daughter of
John Bent and
Martha (?), circa 1647. Deacon Edward Rice died on Aug 15, 1712 at Marlborough, Massachusetts, at age 89 at about age 93. A 1712 obituary in the Boston News Letter gave the death year as 1711 and said he had been born in Berkhamstead in 1618. It also said he had 142 descendants at that time, of which 119 were living. It further said that Edward's brother Henry, who had died in Framingham in 1711, had a similarly large number of dsecendants.
He was in 1655 at Two Mile Grant. He resided in 1664 at Marlborough, Massachusetts; where he was a Deacon of the church. He declared age 47 in a paper filed in court on Oct 2, 1666 at Middlesex, Cambridge County, Massachusetts. He and
Deacon Edmund (2) Rice were Edward and Agnes Rice gave to their son, Edmund Rice of Sudbury, half of the farm lying within the bounds of Sudbury, "near the spring". (Edward has purchased som of this land from his father Edmund and some of the land from his brother Benjamin. John Rice of Sudbury, a brother of Edmund, had the choice half.)

about Samuel Rice
Given Name: Samuel
Surname: Rice
Location: Marlborough
Date: 1685
Subject: Will
Number: 18798.
He The births of all three children of Samuel and Mary Rice are also entered in the Marlborough vital records under Samuel and his first wife Elizabeth.
11 Samuel Rice's second wife is entered in the Marlborough VR as having died 18 June 1678. Therefore, either that death date or this marriage date is undoubtedly wrong. Your authors (Edmund Rice Association) believe the marriage date to be correct. He and Elizabeth
King resided circa 1661 at Marlborough, MA.
13 In testimony of court files at Cambridge, MA on 2 May 1666, Samuel Rice stated that he was 32 years old.
5 Samuel Rice and Mary
Dix retired during the King Phillip's War in 1675 at Concord, MA.
14 Samuel Rice left a will on 10 February 1684 at Marlborough, MA, mentioning wife Sarah; sons Joshua and Edmund; daughters Elizabeth Haynes, Hannah Hubbard, and Esther Hubbard; 'my son Samuel Rice, whom I have given to brother and sister King for their own'; sons Edward and Joseph; and two daughters Mary and Abigail Rice, under 18.
