Wife's General Notes
==========================================================================================

Sources:
For Rice family see:
! Rice Family by Andrew Henshaw Ward Boston 1858
! Genealogical Register of Edmund Rice Descendants, compiled by the Edmund Rice Association 1970.
! Reminiscences of Worchester pp258-382by Nathaniel Wall, (1877)-p258 360-361
   An incorrect date of her death comes from here. If it is correct, who was the mother of the latter children including Nathaniel??????? However the Gen.Reg. of Edmund Rice (listed above) gives her death date as 25 Apr 1786 which would correct the mistake.
