As reported laterin this account of Edmund Rice, no record of his birth or christeninghas been found.1 Deacon Edmund Rice married 1st Thomasine Frost,daughter of Edward Frost and Thomasine Belgrave, on 15 October 1618 atSt Marys Church, Bury St Edmunds, England.3,2,4,5 Deacon Edmund Ricemarried Mercy Hunt on 1 March 1655/56 at Sudbury, MA; (literally 1655)registered as Mary Brigham.2,6 Deacon Edmund Rice died on 3 May 1663at Sudbury, MA; (not found in the published records).1,2 He was buriedat Old Burying Ground, Wayland, MA; One possible site of the grave ismarked by a monument designed by Arthur Wallace Rice of Boston, MA. Itwas dedicated by the Edmund Rice Association on 29 August 1914. Aboulder with a bronze tablet was also erected by the Association andit marks Edmund's homestead on the Old Connecticut Path in Wayland.2 He and Thomasine Frost resided in 1627 at Berkhamstead, England.7,8 In1638 Edmund Rice acquired 4 acres in then Sudbury (now Wayland) andlaid out in the fall of that year. He was one of the first to build inthe area. According to Massachusetts Colonial Records, Volume 1, page271, on 4 September 1639 Edmund Rice was one of the committeeappointed by the Massachusetts General Court to lay out the land inSudbury. Edmund Rice's house was situated on the "Old North Street",near Mill brook. He received his proportion of "Meadowlands", whichwere divided "to the present inhabitants" under dates of 4 September1639, 20 April, and 18 November 164-, his share being 42 1/2 acres. Heshared in all the division of Uplands and Commons - the total numberof acres which fell to his lot, as an original inhabitant, was247.9,10 Deacon Edmund Rice was a Selectman in 1644 and subsequent years; aDeacon of the church in 1648, and, in 1656, one of the petitioners fora new plantation that became known as Marlborough at Sudbury, MA.11 Hewas designated a Freeman on 13 May 1640 at Massachusetts.12,13 EdmundRice was recorded as being present as a Deputy at the MassachusettsGeneral Court (legislative assembly) in Boston on 7 October 1640.14 On2 June 1641 at Boston Edmund Rice was appointed an assosiate(sic) forthe Courts and comission'r for the toune (sic) of Sudberry (sic).15 Hewas a deputy to the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (theMassachusetts legislature) representing the Town of Sudbury, servingon 27 May 1652, 18 May 1653, and 3 May 1654 between 1652 and 1654 atBoston, MA.16 He resided after 1656 at Marlborough, MA, lived on "TheGreat Road" on the northerly side of the pond (Cochituate Pond), notfar from Williams Tavern. The pond is also spelled Wachittuate,Caochituet, Chochichawicke, Coijchawicke, Catchchauitt,Charchittawick, Katchetuit, Cochichawauke, or Cochichowicke.17http://homepage.interaccess.com/~nealu/genelogy.htm Descendants of Deacon Edmund Rice born circa 1594 in Sudbury, Suffolk,England; baptized 11 August 1600 in Buckinghamshire, England(?);arrived in America in 1638 (settled Sudbury, Massachusets); died 3 May1663 Marlborough, Middlesex Co., MA. He married (1) 15 Oct 1618 at St.Mary's-Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England to Thomasine Frost and (2) 1Mar 1654/1655 at Sudbury, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts to MerceyBrigham (widow). Who were Edmund Rice's ancestors. Putting to rest much misinformation about his ancestors! Twice in the 20th century nationally recognized research genealogistshave attempted to determine the parents and ancestors of Edmund Rice.Mary Lovering Holman described the negative result of her search forrecords in the parishes near Stanstead and Sudbury, Suffolk County,England in "English Notes on Edmund Rice … ", The AmericanGenealogist, Volume 10 (1933/34), pp. 133 - 137. Mrs. Holman isconsidered by many to be one of the best research genealogists in the20th century. In 1997 the Edmund Rice (1638) Association commissionedDr. Joanna Martin, a nationally recognized research genealogist wholives in England only a few miles from Stanstead and Sudbury to searchagain for records of Edmund Rice's parents. Dr. Martin reported in1999 that she found no record that identified Edmund's parents orancestral line. Several authors of published works and computer data sets have claimednames for Edmund Rice's parents. Regrettably they have not givensources that would assist in definitive genealogical research. Forexample, the Ancestral File and International Genealogical Index, twopopular computer data sets widely distributed by the Church of JesusChrist of Latter Day Saints, offer parent candidates that include:Henry Rice and Margaret Baker, Henry Rice and Elizabeth Frost, ThomasRice and Catherine Howard, and Thomas Rice and Elizabeth Frost. From Mrs. Holman's paper we have an excellent record of one HenryRice's marriage to Elizabeth Frost in November 1605 at Stanstead. Mrs.Holman also documents the baptism of Edmund's first child on 23 August1619 at Stanstead. If this is the Henry Rice and Elizabeth Frost towhich the LDS records refer, the LDS records must be erroneous. Ourresearchers have not been able to find records that support any HenryRice and Elizabeth Frost, Henry Rice and Margaret Baker, Thomas Riceand Catherine Howard, or Thomas Rice and Elizabeth Frost as parents ofEdmund Rice. A scholarly investigation by Donald Lines Jacobus, considered by manyas the dean of modern American genealogy, appeared in The AmericanGenealogist, Volume 11, (1936), pp. 14-21. Jacobus traced many of thefalse accounts to the book by Dr. Charles Elmer Rice entitled "By theName of Rice … ", privately published by Dr. Rice at Alliance, Ohio in1911. Edmund Rice deposed in a court document on 3 April 1656 that he wasabout 62 years old. Sudbury, England includes three parishes, two ofwhich do not have complete records for the years near 1594, which isEdmund's most likely birth year. Thus, if he were born in Sudbury,England his records have been lost and we may never know his origin. In his address to the 1999 annual meeting of the Edmund Rice (1638)Association, Gary Boyd Roberts, Senior Researcher, New EnglandHistoric Genealogical Society, reviewed all of the genealogicalsleuthing on Edmund's parentage. Mr. Roberts is well known for hisresearch on royal lineage. He concluded that there was no evidencewhatsoever that supports the published accounts of Edmund Rice'sparents and no evidence that Edmund Rice was from a royal lineage. The Edmund Rice (1638) Association is very interested in proving theancestry of Edmund Rice. The association encourages anyone who canidentify a primary source that names Edmund and his parents toidentify that source. Records of a baptism, estate probate, or landtransaction naming Edmund and his parents are the most likely recordsto contain that proof. Until someone can cite such a record, theassociation must state emphatically that Edmund Rice's parents andancestry are not known and that Edmund Rice's descendants can notclaim royal ancestry.

Joseph Rice married Mercy King, daughter of Deacon Thomas Kingand Anne Collins, on 4 May 1658 at Sudbury, MA; there is someuncertainty about whether Mercy King died soon after her marriage toJoseph or whether she is the Martha Rice, wife of Joseph, who appearsin the Marlborough vital records as having died on 4 January 1668.Ward lists both Mercy King and Martha (?) as wives of Joseph. The RiceGenealogical Register lists only wife Mercy King and takes the deathrecord on 4 January 1668 to be that of Mercy King. There is no mentionof a marriage between Joseph Rice and Martha (Eames) in the Sudburyvital records. On the other hand, the birth records of Joseph's firstfour children all list the mother as Martha.5,6,7 Joseph Rice married3rd Mary Beers, daughter of Capt.
