Anna Rice marriedThomas Rice, son of Thomas Rice and Mary King, on 10 January 1681/82at Marlborough, MA; (literally January 1681 per vital records, 11thmonth 1681 per Ward, but November 1717 per Rice Gen'l Register,apparently due to careless copying from Ward, who speaks of the 1717division of Marlborough in the very next phrase). Note that themarriage is found in the published vital records of Marlborough andnot those of Sudbury, contrary to the assertion in Rice Supplement 2Part 1. However, the marriage entry came from the county records andgives only one surname between groom and bride. In any case, the 1717date is inconsistent with the known children born to thiscouple.6,2,3,7 Anna Rice died on 2 May 1731 at Westborough, MA; wifeof Thomas.6,8 She and Thomas Rice lived in the portion of Marlborough that becameWestborough.6 Anna Rice and Thomas Rice resided after 1717 atWestborough, MA, when part of the Town of Marlborough was set off asWestborough.6 Children of Anna Rice and Thomas Rice: Thomas Rice+ b. 1683 Charles Rice+ b. 7 Jul 1684, d. 1773 Jason Rice b. 23 Feb 1688 Damaris Rice+ b. c 1688, d. 25 Dec 1769 Eunice Rice b. 3 May 1688 Jedediah Rice+ b. 10 Jun 1690, d. 27 Apr 1715 Abiel Rice b. 11 Dec 1692, d. 27 Dec 1692 Anna Rice b. 11 Dec 1692, d. 25 Dec 1692 Ashur Rice+ b. 6 Jul 1694, d. 20 Aug 1773 Adonijah Rice b. 11 Aug 1696 Perez Rice+ b. 23 Jul 1698, d. 14 Dec 1782 Vashti Rice+ b. 7 Mar 1700 Beriah Rice+ b. 20 Aug 1702, d. b 27 Jun 1764 Noah Rice+ b. c 1705, d.

Indeed,the marriage of a Dorcas Rice and John Walderne appears in thepublished vital records of Wenham, MA on 22 Sep 1680 (transcribed fromthe Essex County court records). The marriage is also entered in theSalem vital records, but with a date of 25 Sep 1679. Further, thatmarriage resulted in at least two children, sons Edward and Ebenezer,recorded at Wenham in 1686 and 1696, respectively. However, there isno evidence that the Wenham Dorcas is the same Dorcas shown here.Indeed, since Ebenezer Walderne was born at Wenham after our Dorcashad begun raising a family in Marlborough, we must conclude that theyare different.8,9 WFN: 26. She was admitted to the Westborough Churchon 25 July 1725 after being dismissed from the Marlboro Church.10 WRN:31.
