Esther is the daughter of Jacob Rice and Mary Barrett. She married Jonathan Jennings on 17 Jul 1727 in Marlborough, Middlesex, Massachusetts. They had about five children but it seems that only two made it through to adulthood,and the two are not certain as to their names or gender. Jonathan was the son of Stephen Jennings and Hannah (Dickinson)Gillet.

In my grandmother's notes, Jonathan and Esther are buried in the Old Indian Cemetery in Brookfield, but all the stones are worn smooth.
