Facts and Events
Information on Elijah Rice
From "Montgomery County, Indiana USGenWeb Project" - Joel Deer (1789-1861) & Sarah Garnet (1792-1841) by Gregg Branum:
- On October 29, 1806 Sarah Garnet married Elijah Rice in Culpeper County, Virginia. Elijah was likely the brother of Ezekiel Rice who married Sarah's sister Frances in 1808. It appears there were may have been at least three sons and one daughter from this marriage, though I have yet to find record of their names. It also seems that Sarah and her new husband migrated to Boone County in northern Kentucky.
- ...It was here in Boone County that Elijah Rice died, leaving Sarah a widow. And sometime after this Joel (Deer) and Sarah began a courtship.
