Rice’s son John married Phoebe Alderman, and after she died, married Susannah Edmondson. Some researchers say that Edmund also married Susannah’s sister, Nancy, after she died, and that as many as 11 of the children may be hers. John and his wives had a total of 23 children. They were David, James, Rice, Neil, Thomas, Civil, Jemima, Miles, Elizabeth, Riley, Rebecca, Nancy, Phoebe, John, Matthew, Sarah, Pollie, Martha, Edmond, Susannah, Henry M., Hiram Monk and Saleta Ann.

John and his wives moved from North Carolina to Bulloch County, Ga., in 1803. Here, John served as the Justice of the Inferior Court in Captain Fred Williams’ District of BC, and then as the Sheriff of BC from 1816 until 1822 and from 1825 through 1826. Eventually, John and some of his family moved to Lowndes County. Many of his children, however, stayed behind in Bulloch County.
