Generation No. 1
1. DEACON EDMUND1 RICE was born 1594 in Barkhamstead, Hertfordshire, England, and died
May 3, 1663 in Marlboro, Massachusetts. He married (1) THOMASINE FROST October 15, 1618 in
St. Mary's, Bury St. Edmund, Suffolk, England, daughter of EDMOND FROST and THOMASINE
BELGRAVE. She was born August 11, 1600 in Hertfordshire, England, and died June 13, 1654
in Sudbury, Middlesex, MA. He married (2) MERCY HURD March 1, 1655. She was born Abt. 1616
in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA, and died December 23, 1693 in Marlboro, Massachusetts.
Notes for DEACON EDMUND RICE:
Edmund Rice was Mercy Hurd's second husband, 1 March 1655, then of Sudbury, but who moved
in 1660 to Marlboro, where he died 3 May 1663. He was born 1594, and came from
Barkhamstead, Hertfordshire, England; settled in Sudbury in 1638-9; resided on east side
of Sudbury River in the southerly part of what is now Wayland, near the great meadows. He
was selectman in 1644, and deacon of the church in 1648. His first wife was Tamazine, who
came with him from England; also eight children. On Mercy's second marriage, she took with
her to Sudbury and Marlboro all her children, and had 2 more with Edmund.
Notes from The History of the Brigham Family from the New Hampshire Historic Society 20
Park Street, Concord, New Hampshire, obtained by Ken and Susan Barbi on August 12,
2000.Edmund Rice came from Barkhamstead, Hertfordshire, England and settled in Sudbury, MA
in 1639. He was prominent in Sudbury, being a selectman and one of the Deacons of he
church. He was honored with several appointments to the General Court, and was denominated
therein "Goodman Rice". He removed to Marlboro soon after the grant of the
township, and took up his abode on waht is known as the "great road," on the
northerly side of the Pond, not far from the Williams Tavern. There are six lines in the
Fay geneology which go back to Edmund Rice, and there is also at least one line in the
Morse geneology. This is not surprising, as to quote Charles Hudson's "History of the
Town of Marlboro, the Rices were one of the earlies and most numerous families in the
town--ranking with the Howes and the Brighams, and like them sending out emigrants to many
other towns. Edmund is buried in Wayland, MA. His grave is marked by a monument designed
by a descendant, Arthur Wallace Rice of Boston. The monument was dedicated by the Edmund
Rice Association on August 29, 1914. A boulder with a bronze tablet was also erected by
the association and it marks Edmund's homestead on the old Connecticut Path in Wayland,
MA.

Deacon Edmund Rice1,2 (M)
b. c 1594, d. 03 May 1663, #1
Deacon Edmund Rice was born circa 1594 at England. As reported later in this account of
Edmund Rice, no record of his birth or christening has been found.1,3 Deacon Edmund Rice
married 1st Thomasine Frost, daughter of Edward Frost and Thomasine Belgrave, on 15
October 1618 at St Marys Church, Bury St. Edmunds, England.4,2,5 Deacon Edmund Rice
married Mercy Hurd? on 1 March 1655/56 at Sudbury, MA, (literally 1655) registered as Mary
Brigham.2,6 Deacon Edmund Rice died on 3 May 1663 at Sudbury, MA, (not found in the
published records).1,2 He was buried at Old Burying Ground, Wayland, MA; One possible site
of the grave is marked by a monument designed by Arthur Wallace Rice of Boston, MA. It was
dedicated by the Edmund Rice Association on 29 August 1914. A boulder with a bronze tablet
was also erected by the Association and it marks Edmund's homestead on the Old Connecticut
Path in Wayland.2
He and Thomasine Frost resided in 1627 at Berkhamstead, England.7,8 Deacon Edmund Rice was
in a land transaction in 1638 where he acquired 4 acres in then Sudbury (now Wayland) and
laid out in the fall of that year. He was one of the first to build in the area. According
to Massachusetts Colonial Records, Volume 1, page 271, on 3 September 1639 Edmund Rice was
one of the committee appointed by the Massachusetts General Court to lay out the land in
Sudbury in 1639.
Edmund Rice's house was situated on the "Old North Street", near Mill brook. He
received his proportion of "Meadowlands", which were divided "to the
present inhabitants" under dates of 4 September 1639, 20 April, and 18 November 164-,
his share being 42 1/2 acres. He shared in all the division of Uplands and Commons - the
total number of acres which fell to his lot, as an original inhabitant, was 247.9
Deacon Edmund Rice was a Selectman in 1644 and subsequent years; a Deacon of the church
in 1648, and, in 1656, one of the petitioners for a new plantation that became known as
Marlborough at Sudbury, MA.10 He was designated a freeman on 13 May 1640 at
Massachusetts.11 He became Deacon of the Church at Sudbury, MA, in 1648.8 He was a deputy
to the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (the Massachusetts legislature)
representing the Town of Sudbury, serving on 27 May 1652, 18 May 1653, and 3 May 1654
between 1652 and 1654 at Boston, MA.12 He resided after 1656 at Marlborough, MA, lived on
"The Great Road" on the northerly side of the pond (Cochituate Pond), not far
from Williams Tavern. The pond is also spelled Wachittuate, Caochituet, Chochichawicke,
Coijchawicke, Catchchauitt, Charchittawick, Katchetuit, Cochichawauke, or Cochichowicke.13
Twice in the 20th century nationally recognized research genealogists have attempted to
determine the parents and ancestors of Edmund Rice. Mary Lovering Holman described the
negative result of her search for records in the parishes near Stanstead and Sudbury,
Suffolk County, England in English Notes on Edmund Rice, The American
Genealogist, Volume 10 (1933/34), pp. 133 - 137. Mrs Holman is considered by many to be
one of the best research genealogists in the 20th century. In 1997 the Edmund Rice (1638)
Association commissioned Dr. Joanna Martin, a nationally recognized research genealogist
who lives in Hitcham, Suffolk, England, only a few miles from Stanstead and Sudbury, to
search again for records of Edmund Rice's parents. Dr. Martin reported in 1999 that she
found no record that identified Edmund's parents or ancestral line.
Several authors of published works and computer data sets have claimed names for Edmund
Rice's parents. Regrettably they have not given sources that would assist in definitive
genealogical research. For example, the Ancestral File and International Genealogical
Index, two popular computer data sets widely distributed by the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, offer parent candidates that include: Henry Rice and Margaret Baker,
Henry Rice and Elizabeth Frost, Thomas Rice and Catherine Howard, and Thomas Rice and
Elizabeth Frost.
From Mrs. Holman's paper we have an excellent record of one Henry Rice's marriage to
Elizabeth Frost in November 1605 at Stanstead. Mrs. Holman also documents the baptism of
Edmund's first child on 23 August 1619 at Stanstead. If this is the Henry Rice and
Elizabeth Frost to which the LDS records refer, the LDS records must be erroneous. Our
researchers have not been able to find records that support any Henry Rice and Elizabeth
Frost, Henry Rice and Margaret Baker, Thomas Rice and Catherine Howard, or Thomas Rice and
Elizabeth Frost as parents of Edmund Rice.
A scholarly investigation by Donald Lines Jacobus, considered by many as the dean of
modern American genealogy, appeared in The American Genealogist, volume 11, (1936), pp.
14-21 and was reprinted in the fall of 1968 and the winter of 1998 issues of Newsletter of
the Edmund Rice (1638) Association. Jacobus traced many of the false accounts to the book
by Dr. Charles Elmer Rice entitled "By the Name of Rice, privately published by
Dr. Rice at Alliance, Ohio in 1911.
Sudbury, England includes three parishes, two of which do not have complete records for
the years near 1594, which is Edmund's most likely birth year. Edmund Rice deposed in a
court document on 3 April 1656 that he was about 62 years old. Thus, if he were born in
Sudbury 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 England Historic Genealogy Society, reviewed all of the
genealogical sleuthing on Edmund's parentage. Mr. Roberts is well known for his research
on royal lineage. He concluded that there was no evidence whatsoever that supports the
published accounts of Edmund Rice's parents and no evidence that Edmund Rice was from a
royal lineage.
The Edmund Rice (1638) Association is very interested in proving the ancestry of Edmund
Rice. The association encourages anyone who can identify a primary source that names
Edmund and his parents to identify that source. Records of a baptism, estate probate, or
land transaction naming Edmund and his parents are the most likely records to contain that
proof. Until someone can cite such a record, the association must state emphatically that
Edmund Rice's parents and ancestry are not known and that Edmund Rice's descendants can
not claim royal ancestry.14,15,16 WRN: 1.

Notes for MERCY HURD:
Mercy was 10 or 15 years younger than her husband, and that, persecuted in England for
nonconformity, she came to New England with her sister, who married William (?) Cutter.
Mercy Hurd married for her second husband, 1 March 1655, Edmund Rice, then of Sudbury,
but who removed in 1660 to Marlboro, where he died 3 May 1663.
On Mar 26, 1676, she was with the people of Marlboro when assembled in their meeting
house for worship when the alarm was sounded and they barely reached the garrison house in
time to find safety from the attacking Indians, who burned houses and barns and destroyed
orchards and cattle. The people shortly retreated to the towns to the eastward, where they
remained for some months until peace was assured.
Notes from The History of the Brigham Family from the New Hampshire Historic Society 20
Park Street, Concord, New Hampshire, obtained by Ken and Susan Barbi on August 12, 2000.
Mercy Hurd?1,2 (F)
b. c 1613, d. 22 Dec 1693, #117
Mercy Hurd? was born circa 1613 at England.2,3 She married 1st Thomas Brigham circa 1637
at Cambridge, MA.4,5 Mercy Hurd? married Deacon Edmund Rice on 1 March 1655/56 at Sudbury,
MA, (literally 1655) registered as Mary Brigham.2,6 Mercy Hurd? married 3rd William Hunt
in May 1663 at Cambridge, MA, William of Marlborough.7,8 Mercy Hurd? died on 22 December
1693 at Marlborough, MA, under the name Hunt.2,9
The 1656 marriage record apparently gives her name as Mary, while the Brigham probate
records call her both Mary and Mercy. However, it should be noted that 'Marcy' is often
misread as 'Mary.' The probate file of Thomas Brigham confirms that his widow Mercy was
married to Edmund Rice by 1656.10

Deacon Edward Rice1,2 (M)
b. c 1619, d. 15 Aug 1712, #57
Pedigree
Deacon Edward Rice was the son of Deacon Edmund Rice and Thomasine Frost. Deacon Edward
Rice was christened on 26 October 1622 at Stanstead, England; (20th per Rice Gen'l
Register) under the name Ryce. The 1622 baptism record gives the child's name as Edmund,
not Edward. Nonetheless, your authors are convinced that Edward was the child baptized
(and of course born) that year, and that he exaggerated his age in later life.3,4 He
married Agnes Bent circa 1647.5,3,6 Deacon Edward Rice died on 15 August 1712 at
Marlborough, MA, at about age 93.5,7
He received one lot in the Sudbury Two-Mile Grant in 1655. In 1655 at Sudbury, MA.8 He
resided in 1664 at Marlborough, MA, were he was a Deacon of the church.9 He declared age
42 in a paper filed in court on 2 October 1666 at Middlesex County Court, Cambridge, MA.10
He was assessed 8s 7d in the 1688 Marlborough tax roll. In 1668 at Marlborough, MA.11 He
was in a land transaction on 1 April 1686 at Sudbury, MA, to their son Edmund Rice of
Sudbury, half of the farm lying within the bounds of Sudbury, "near the spring".
(Edward had purchased this from his father Edmund and some purchased from his brother
Benjamin. John Rice of Sudbury, a brother of Edmund had the choice half.) Deed recorded 16
August 1734.5,12 He was elected deacon in 1687.13 He was questioned in court aged 70y in
1692 at MA.14 A 1712 obituary in the Boston News Letter gave the death year as 1711 and
said he had been born in Berkhamstead in 1618. It also said he had 142 descendants at that
time, of which 119 were living. It further said that Edward's brother Henry, who had died
in Framingham in 1711, had a similarly large number of descendants.15 WRN: 3.

More About DEACON EDWARD RICE:
Christening: October 20, 1622, Stanstead, Suffolk, England
Notes for AGNES BENT:
Barbara Abate's info suggests child Anna Rice married a Thomas Rice, apparent son of
Thomas Rice and Mary King (a first cousin?)
Agnes Bent1 (F)
b. 12 Dec 1631, d. 04 Jun 1713, #58
Agnes Bent was born on 12 December 1631 at Wayhill, Penton Grafton, England.2,3,4 She was
baptized in 1631 at Penton Grafton, England. She married Deacon Edward Rice, son of Deacon
Edmund Rice and Thomasine Frost, circa 1647.5,6,7 Agnes Bent died on 4 June 1713 at
Marlborough, MA.5,2,3
Barry's History of Framingham states Agnes Bent was without issue, which is clearly wrong.
The will of John Bent of 1672 makes provision specifically for his daughter Agnes Rice and
her son John Rice, which not only shows she was still living at that time, but also proves
she was indeed the wife of Edward Rice (there being only one John Rice available as a
grandson of John Bent). The confusion stems from the fact that the birth records of her
children and the record of her death all show her name as Ann (a common variant of Agnes
in her time). She was also known as Anna Bent.

Samuel Rice1,2,3 (M)

Pedigree
Samuel Rice was baptized on 12 November 1634 at Berkhamstead, England.4,2,5 He was the son
of Deacon Edmund Rice and Thomasine Frost. Samuel Rice married Elizabeth King on 8
November 1655 at Sudbury, MA.1,2,6 Samuel Rice married Mary Dix in September 1668 at
Sudbury, MA, (not found in the published records).7,2 Samuel Rice married Sarah White on
13 December 1676 at Concord, MA.2,8,9 Samuel Rice died on 25 February 1684/85 at
Marlborough, MA, (literally 1684).10,11
The births of all three children of Samuel and Mary Rice are also entered in the
Marlborough vital records under Samuel and his first wife Elizabeth.11 Samuel Rice's
second wife is entered in the Marlborough VR as having died 18 June 1678. Therefore,
either that death date or this marriage date is undoubtedly wrong. Your authors believe
the marriage date to be correct. He and Elizabeth King resided circa 1661 at Marlborough,
MA.12 Samuel Rice and Mary Dix retired during the King Phillip's War in 1675 at Concord,

Notes for ENSIGN JONATHAN BRIGHAM:
Jonathan Brigham married his cousin, Mary Fay. He settled in what was a part of the Thomas
Brigham Estate in Marlboro, Massachusetts. He was prominent in his community and held
offices of responsibility. He was commonly called the "Indian Warrior". One day
while chopping in the woods, he saw a savage preparing to take aim at him; he seized his
musket, stepped forward in full view, exclaiming as he did so, "Shoot straight, you
dog". Both fired at the same moment, then the Indian dropped his gun, and with a
tremendous whoop, bounded high into the air and fell dead. The Indian's bullet passed
close to the ear of Jonathan, who escaped unhurt.

(2) MEHITABLE GOULD. She died Unknown.
Notes for NATHAN BRIGHAM:
Morse states that Captain Nathan Brigham settled on a part of the Thomas homestead, his
house being a garrison house in Queen Anne's War. He was a weaver. He inherited the
town-right of his father and drew shares of the public land in this right. He held town
offices and was 7 years a selectman and for the last time in 1738; was representative in
1726 and '30. April 5, 1733, he made his will, giving his son Thomas 100 acres where he
then resided, a house, 6 acres of meadow in Marlboro and 70 acres in Sutton; also a 16
acre town-right, originally John Rediet Jr.'s. His wife, Mehitable, received 20 pounds for
a mourning suit, and Ephraim, who had the homestead, was to support her and pay her
funeral expenses. March 26, 1746-7, the heirs signed an agreement dividing his estate.

Capt Nathan Brigham1,2 (M)
b. 17 Jun 1671, d. 16 Feb 1746/47, #1909
Pedigree
Capt Nathan Brigham was born on 17 June 1671 at Marlborough, MA.1,3,4,5 He was the son of
Thomas Brigham and Mary Rice. Capt Nathan Brigham married Elizabeth Maynard circa 1690 at
Marlborough, MA, (your authors note that the 1664 marriage date cited in Supplement 1 is
actually Elizabeth's birth date. There is no record of the marriage in the Marlborough
VR).6 Capt Nathan Brigham married Elizabeth How it is noted that this is a very unlikely
marriage. Regrettably there is no marriage in the Marlborough vital records for Nathan
Brigham. However, the death information about Nathan's wife Elizabeth correlates with the
birth record for Elizabeth Maynard.7 Capt Nathan Brigham died on 16 February 1746/47 at
Marlborough, MA, aged 75y 8m.7,8
Your authors note that no marriage for this Nathan Brigham is found in the Marlborough
vital records. Thus, the identification of his wife Elizabeth depends on indirect
evidence. Her recorded age at death is sufficient: it matches exactly the recorded birth
of Elizabeth Maynard and is fully nine years off from the birth of Elizabeth How. It is,
of course, conceivable that Nathan married two different Elizabeths in succession,
although, in that case, we would have not just one, but three, unrecorded events to
explain (the two marriages and the death of the first wife). If that is indeed the case,
then the first wife (Elizabeth How) is most likely the mother of Nathan's children.
Investigation of the How and Maynard probate records may shed light on this question. He
and Elizabeth How resided at Marlborough, MA.9 WRN: 79.

Notes for LIEUT. NATHAN BRIGHAM:
Morse gather the following facts about Lieut. Natham Brigham. Prior to the second division
of the original township of Marlboro, in 1727, Nathan held several minor town offices, but
in the new town of Southboro, to which he was set off, he appears at once among her
principal citizens, serving the first year as a selectman and soon after as treasurer. He
was repeatedly placed on committees for hiring schoolmasters and chosen for the 29th time
as a selectman at the age of 77 years, at which he remonstrated and was, with public
thank,, excused. He lived near the houses of Samuel and Dana Brigham in the north part of
Southboro, and is presumed to have inherited the lands southeast of Crane meadow, drawn in
his grandfather Thomas' right. He did inherit the Bible, law-book, cane and sword of his
father Nathan. He retained his vigor to a great age and when in his 90th year used to
mount his horse without assistance.

Benjamin Hemenway birth date is 29 April 1839 [year agrees with Marriage Certificate
above], son of George Hemenway and Eliza Owens married April 2, 1829. Birth date of George
Hemenway is 25 November 1807 son of Benjamin Stone Hemenway and Patience Hunt married
November 3, 1795. [George Hemenway - who married Patience Hunt - birthday of 1772 in the
"Ralph Hemmenway of Roxbury, Mass. 1634. and His Descendants" book is derived
from his shown death on February 24, 1827 at age 55. This cannot be correct because his
father was born 14 December 1771 and married Patience Hunt on November 3, 1795.] Birth
date of Benjamin Stone Hemenway is 14 December 1771, son of Benjamin Hemenway and Lucy
Stone [note here is the first appearance of the name 'Stone' which becomes Brigham Park
Fay and Ida May Hemenway's first child, Park 'Stone' Fay's, middle name] married September
2, 1762. Birth date of Benjamin Hemenway is 28 October 1732, son of Ralph Hemenway and

cents each, delivered. The ice route ran four days a week in the morning, along northwest
Bear and Pine and to the Beaver Islands in the afternoon. The Merrills' nephew, Wilbur
Fay, handled the northeast route and also delivered groceries from the store."
