Rachel Humphrey

“Rachael Rice (September 2, 1664-February 9, 1744). She was born in Dedham, Massachusetts, the daughter of John Rice and Ann Hackley.”

Probably not the same as Rachel Dolover

At the age of 26, Arthur and Rachael moved, in 1686, to area that became Woodstock, Massachusetts (First named New Roxbury) because so many of the first settlers came from Roxbury. Massachusetts had originally acquired this land in a purchase from the Moehegan Indians. Woodstock was part of Massachusetts until May, 1749, when it was given to the Colony of Connecticut.

History of the town of Oxford, Mass. George Fisher Daniels, Hist.Ox p.552. Arthur and Rachael were among the first settlers of Woodstock. Hist.Ox p.552;

WOODSTOCK, AN Historical Sketch, Clarence Winthrop Bowen, Ph.D. 1865, p. 24. These settlers came from Roxbury, Massachusetts. It has been recorded that the couple bought/took possession of Lot #32 in Woodstock.

Arthur and Rachael are known to have had the following children: Arthur (March 3, 1689/90)

1. Ebenezer (August 22, 1692 – May 19, 1784)
2. Rachael (June 4, 1695 – February 6, 1779)

6. Tabitha (June 16, 1704 - )
7. Samuel (October 17, 1711 – October 2, 1764)

All of these births were recorded in the Vital Records of Woodstock 1686-1854.

Notes

This report: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/c/h/Carolyn-J-Schneide... lists Rachel Rice as the daughter of John Rice, of Dedham & Ann Rice

However another source, such as Descendants of Richard Everett, have Rachel as the wife of 1) Jedediah Everett (1656-1699) & 2) Joseph Dolliver (d 1731)
