Birth Notes: the Vital Records for the City of Worcester list 17 December as John's birth date which is the most likely date.
General Notes: The Vital Records for the City of Worcester list 17 December as John's birth date which is the most likely date for John Rice's birth. John resided circa 1760 at Annapolis, Annapolis Co, Nova Scotia. He left a will on 4 April 1811 at Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS; which was recorded 24 May 1811 naming wife Mary and children Mary Rice (the wife of Israel Potter), William, James, Silas, and Thomas. The Rice Gen'l Register, 1970, says "John went to Nova Scotia on ship 'Charming Molly' with Beriah Rice and Ebenezer Rice Jr. He settled on the west side of Lequille River." In his 1897 History of the County of Annapolis, W A Calnek provides the passenger manifest for the first trip of the Charming Molly. A Beriah Rice, together with Beriah's sons Stephen and Benjamin, are on that manifest; John Rice's name is not. This does not mean that John did not arrive in 1760, only that he was not on the first, recorded trip of the Charming Molly. In his addendum to Calnek's history, Judge Savary provides a list of petitioners for a Grant of Confirmation of the Township of Annapolis, dated October 30th, 1765. John Rice's name was not on that list. Back to Calnek's history, John Rice's name appears on the census of 1768 for Annapolis. He has three males and three females in his household, all American. He was enumerated in the 1770 census with six people in his household, two American and four Acadian. We may assume that the four Acadians were his children born in Nova Scotia. According to Marion B McCormick, 1975: 'He was the ancestor of the greater part of the Annapolis Valley Rice family. He was a friend of Col. Hoar and settled on part of his farm, and during the Colonel's absences from home, he looked after the affairs of his friend. After the Colonel's death, John bought part of the estate, and later passed it on to his son James, who had been born on the farm, and who dies there in 1886.'
He was listed in the township records as surveyor of land.
Noted events in his life were:
1. Residence: Abt 1760, Annapolis Royal, NS, Canada. 14
2. Will: 4 Apr 1811, Annapolis Royal, NS, Canada. 9

General Notes: She is designated, the "mysterious Tabitha" as proof of her first marriage has not yet been found, although it persists in family tradition.
Noted events in her life were:
1. Baptism: 11 Jul 1742, Sudbury, Middlesex Co, MA. 13
Tabitha married Ebenezer Rice III, son of Ebenezer Rice Jr. and Anna Rice, before 1770 35.,36.,37 Ebenezer was born on 6 Nov 1743 in Westborough, Worcester Co, MA37,38 and died in 179539 aged 52.
Marriage Notes: George King has searched in vain for the marriage of Ebenezer Rice and Tabitha Balcom in Sudbury, MA and surrounding communities and at Annapolis, NS. The Rice Genealogical Register and McCormick 1975 list their marriage year as 1778. George considers this date very unlikely.
The 1770 census for Annapolis lists Ebenezer Rice (III) with three in his household, two American and one Acadian. We can assume that he and Tabatha Balcom had been married for at least one year and had one child.
Note that Ebenezer Rice (III) was not listed in the 1768 census but was a signer of the 30 October 1765 petition for the Grant of Confirmation of the Township of Annapolis (see Savary, p 105). It is possible that he returned to Massachusetts for a time between 1765 and 1770 and might even have married Tabitha in Massachusetts, so Nova Scotia is not listed as their place of marriage.

159 F iv. Sarah Rice .
Sarah married Frederick Balser, son of Peter Balser and (Balsor) Unknown, on 27 Nov 1822 in Annapolis Royal, NS, Canada.45
Marriage Notes: It is likely that Frederick was the son of Peter Baltzor and brother of Dorothy who married Sarah's brother Jonas. If so, this was probably the second marriage for Frederick who first
married Alice Oliver in the presence of Jonas and Levi Rice, by John Millidge, Missionary. Sarah Rice was of the Parish of Annapolis and Frederick Balser was of the Parish of Wilmot.
Tabitha next married Thaddeus Maynard, son of Ephriam Maynard 2 and Mary Balcom,2 after 1795.
