  3. ↑ Source:Ward, Andrew Henshaw. Genealogical History of the Rice Family : Descendants of Deacon Edmund Rice, p. 55, disappointingly says that Luke d. 4 Jul 1754, which is the date his will was proved, not the date he died. The same probate file where is found the will, clearly shows he died before 28 Jun 1754 when the heirs filed a petition with the court. Somewhat typically, the picture-less Find A Grave gives the date from Ward, suggesting a gravestone exists, which clearly it could not if it had that date.
