Elizabeth Rice

Implausible Marriage RE Elizabeth Brooks and Patrick Rice.

• Patrick's profile shows his birth and death in Winchester. VA. Elizabeth was born in Glastonbury, CT. The 400 mile chasm between Winchester, VA and Glastonbury, CT is tough to believe in an era when there were no paved roads and no automobiles.
• A convincing narrative source must be found that convincingly reveals how and when Patrick met Elizabeth. Barring any finding and posting of that source to this profile, the relationship should be deemed spurious.

Elizabeth Rice (Brooks) could not have been the wife of both Johnathan Brooks, III and Patrick Rice, as these men had children in overlapping years with their Elizabeth Brooks. It appears that the maiden name of Jonathan Brooks wife was Harris.
