Person talk:John Rice (22)


Lineage [9 September 2010]

I am detaching John from alleged parents Family:Edmund Rice and Thomasine Frost (1). No source is given.

Not much is known about John Rice of Dedham. But a lot of research has been done on Edmund Rice, including locating the baptisms of his children in England, printed in TAG, p. 10:133-4. Needless to say, this list of baptisms does not include John. Nor is John listed as a son by the Edmund Rice Association (page on Edmund Rice), nor is he even listed in their database. Given these two votes of no-confidence, any attempt to establish John's parents would seem to demand some kind of proof and sources.

While 1624 is a reasonable birth estimate for a man married in 1649, I am sure the birth location of Stanstead, Suffolk, England is assumed based on the alleged parentage, and therefore doubtful. --Jrich 19:06, 9 September 2010 (EDT)
