RICE, Eliezer and Mahitable Stone of Sutton, Sept. 17, 1747. CR
- Mehitable is not identified by Source:Ward, Andrew Henshaw. Genealogical History of the Rice Family : Descendants of Deacon Edmund Rice, p. 77, except to say she transferred from the church at Beverly to that of Westborough in 1749. Source:Leonard, Ermina Newton. Newton Genealogy, in a footnote on p. 69, says she and Eleazer had 5 children and she died at Brookfield 12 Jun 1805, though that death record is not found in the published VRs. One might surmise that she is Mehitable Butman, who married Samuel Stone Jr. of Beverly, who drowned in 1743. Source:Davis, Walter Goodwin. Ancestry of Sarah Stone, p. 7, says Samuel's widow married secondly Matthias Price, but no record of a Matthias Price can be found, and the similarity of Price and Rice is suggestive. She is supposed to be mentioned in the will of her son Samuel Stone in 1758 [Worcester Probate #56893], but that has not been investigated yet. She is named as Mehitable Stone in her father's will of 1746, but frustratingly, the probate file has no document that lists the heirs after his death in 1751, which would have been a conclusive piece of evidence. No Mehitable Stone seems apparent in either the Simon Stone Genealogy or the Gregory Stone Genealogy by Bartlett, nor is any mention of Eleazer Rice found in those books.
