Isaac Rice

GEDCOM Note

John Rice of Virginia, North Carolina, and Roane, Tennessee who died before April 1815 when his will was probated has been shown as Isaac or Isaac John Rice. That misinformation most likely came from records of his descendant Martha "Mattie Elizabeth Rice (John R. Howard) who wrote a biography of her family at the age of 18 that was informative and very interesting, but had a couple of flaws. She referred to her ancestor John as Isaac Rice. John Rice was not the same as man as Isaac. He had a brother named Isaac Rice who came from Rutherford, North Carolina to Roane Tennessee and lived near John. In Isaac's will he left his estate to his brothers and their children, indicating that he probably had no living direct descendants of his own. The name Isaac was passed down through his brother's children, including John who had a son named Isaac born 27 March 1771, a grandson, g-grandsons, and so on named Isaac. John and Isaac also had several other brothers, including a brother who for a time contested Isaac's will. John was reportedly married 3 times. It's not known exactly which of his children belonged to each wife, but there's an indication that William (Miss Roberts), Hannah (Wm. Wallen), and Amy Rice (Mathew Wallen) were the children of Margery Wallen. It's believed that he was also possibly married to Elizabeth Crenshaw, and that his last wife was Susannah. The other known children were Sarah Rice (John Thompson), Nancy Rice (Joseph Mee), Millicent Rice (Joseph Bartlett), John Rice, Mary Rice (Benjamin Green), Isaac Rice (Sarah Senter and Martha Matlock), and Elizabeth Rice (James Thompson).
