VIRGINIA BIOGRAPHY

Rice Hooe, burgesses in 1632-33, and afterward went back to England, returning to Virginia in 1635. In the colony he married Sarah , who qualified on his estate, December 3, 1655. Rice Hooe left an only child, Rice (2) Hooe (?).
Rice (2) Hooe (?) married Jane Seymour St. Mars, of Norman descent, whose for- bears settled in Wales after the conquest. Rice Hooe ( ?) died in 1748 [SIC], father of an only child. Rice.

comment: However, "Jane Seymour" (sometimes seen as wife of Rice Hooes l) appears apocryphal according to "Rice Hooes l - IV" by John Bailey Calvert Nicklin, published in Genealogies of Virginia Families, from the Virginia Magazine of History & Biography. Volume lV - Healy - Pryor link. He suggests Jane Seymour became attached to the pedigree, by tradition, by descendants, to explain a "Seymour" naming convention. There are no surviving documents with the name.


Wife: Susannah. It is not known what Susannah's maiden name was but on 10 Sep 1660, "It is ordered that a sequestracon be made of the estate & portion of Susanna ye daughter of Richard Nicholas, dec'd, according to his nuncupative will, out of the hands of Mr. Rice Hooe who married the relict of ye sd Decedt. ..." Hooe was required to give security "until full age or marriage of the said orphan." Rice was allowed out of his father's estate, on 17 Dec 1655, "one gun and a share of the last crop, in consideration of his care and pains in the said crop." On 3 Dec 1656, "Rice Hooe of Merchant's Hope in Charles City, sonne and lawful heir of Rice Hooe, late of the place sold to William Hurt of Buckland, planter, with advice and consent of his mother and guardian, Mrs. Sarah Hoe, widow", 300 acres in James City granted to said Rice Hoe dec'd, 4 Jun 1639. This deed was signed by Sarah Hooe and Rice Hooe. By 31 Dec 1689, Rice Hooe had married the widow of Thomas Howard, apparently. On 13 Mar 1689/90, he was sued by John Davis who had been sold to Mr. Thomas Howard, "predecessor of Mr. Rice Hoe" (sic) for 4 years. [Stafford County O.B. p. 129]. On 10 Nov 1692, Rice Hooe was sued by Thomas Howard, "cozen and heir of Thomas Howard, dec'd." (Ibid., p.310). By 1 Oct 1694, he was evidently dead as in a grant by William Fitzhugh the 1000 acres taken up 25 Apr 1671, "b Rice Hoe who left the same to his son, Rice Hoe, who sold the land to Col. William Fitzhugh who now prays for a grant to the same" was mentioned. On the same day Rice Hooe received a grant for 1100 acres with Thomas Gilson, near Mr. Frances Dade.

Runaway Servant

Rice Hoe and his wife Susanna had an indentured servant named John Price (Prise) who ran away. A jury determined he had starved to death and did not die from the beating he got from Susanna a week earlier:

9 January 1662: "We whose names are hereunto subscribed being upon the Jury concerning the death of John Prise do find to the best of our knowledge that the said John Prise did come to his untimely end by the reason of his running away from his Mr. Rice Hoe and so was starved for want of victuals which running away we do apprehend was by the means of the sad stripes that appeared upon his body given him by his Mrs. Susanna Hoe upon the 2nd of January but we do not find any mortal wound upon him. Daniel Clarke, Neal Sincler, ffer. Aston, Wm Gillum, Rich. Bradford, John Hattly, Tho. Calloway, Tho Turner, Phillp Owen, Tho. Richard, Jeoffrey Momford, Jno Parish. (Charles City County Court Orders 1661-1664, 357)

Indian Girl

Court records indicate Rice Hoe bought an Indian girl from Manwaring Hammond then defaulted on the debt. The purchaser seems to have been this Rice Hooe, of Charles City County and the seller was Rice Hughes, of New Kent County, as agent for Hammond. This has led many researchers to suggest the two men were related. Other researchers suggest this Indian girl was the original of Nicketti in the story of Trader Hughes.

"The Court hath passed judgment (according to an obligation produced in Court) agst Rice Hoe for 14-1 sterling money to be pd by bills of exchange and secured by the sd Hoe to the use of Major General Manwaring Hammond Esqr or his ass's or attorneys according to the sd obligation with all costs to be pd by the sd Hoe als exec. (Charles City County Court Orders 1661-1664, 361)
"Theoderick Bland Esqr for Major General Manwaring Hammond Esqr admitteth and confesseth judgement against the estate of the sd Major General Hamond to secure and justify the service of an Indian Girl by him sold to the said Hoe according to a contract under the hands of Rees Hughes agent for the sd Major General Manwaring Hammond als exec.

biography

On December 17, 1655, Rice was allowed out of his father's estate, "one gun and a share of the last crop, in consideration of his care and pains in the said crop." On December 3, 1656, "Rice Hooe of Merchant's Hope in Charles City, sonne and lawful heir of Rice Hooe, late of the place sold to William Hurt of Buckland, planter, with advice and consent of his mother and guardian, Mrs. Sarah Hoe, widow", 300 acres in James City granted to said Rice Hoe dec'd, 4 Jun 1639. This deed was signed by Sarah Hooe and Rice Hooe. On April 25, 1671, Rice Hooe II acquired 1000 acres in Stafford County and he soon moved there. He is last mentioned in Charles City County in February 1672/3. On March 13, 1689/90, he was sued by John Davis, who had been sold to Mr. Thomas Howard, "predecessor of Mr. Rice Hoe" for 4 years. [Stafford County O.B. p. 129]. On November 10, 1692, he was sued by Thomas Howard, "cozen and heir of Thomas Howard, dec'd." By October 1, 1694, he was evidently dead, as in a grant by William Fitzhugh the 1000 acres taken up on April 25, 1671, "by Rice Hoe who left the same to his son, Rice Hoe, who sold the land to Col. William Fitzhugh, who now prays for a grant to the same" was mentioned. On the same day Rice Hooe received a grant for 1100 acres with Thomas Gilson, near Mr. Frances Dade.

His first wife, Susanna Nicholas, was the widow of Richard Nicholas. On September 10, 1660, "It is ordered that a sequestracon be made of the estate & portion of Susanna ye daughter of Richard Nicholas, dec'd, according to his nuncupative will, out of the hands of Mr. Rice Hooe who married the relict of ye sd Decedt." Hooe was required to give security "until full age or marriage of the said orphan." The family tradition of a wife with the name of Seymour may be because her maiden name was Seymour, but this again is unconfirmed. The name "Seymour" was commonly used as a given name in later Hooe generations. When Susannah died is unknown, but records indicate that prior to December 31, 1689, Rice II had married the widow of Thomas Howard. There is no record of children from this second marriage. The Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Vol. V, reports that Rice Hooe II married "Jane Seymour St. Mars, of Norman descent, whose forbears settled in Wales after the conquest."
