Dorothy, I recommend that you search for your people on Google.com and
on Google Books.

http://www.google.com
http://books.google.com

Type in the name of an individual and type quotation before and after
the full name. Then type in a location after that. I usually type in a
name and then a state to see how many hits are gathered. You can then
search through any link that looks promising.

Google Books has electronic books online, and there are many vital
records, histories, genealogies, etc. There is an Advanced Search link
to add helpful words, or to indicate words that you do not wish to see
in hits. This can effectively reduce the number of hits you have to
review.

I did a quick search earlier today but had to leave. It looks as if the
early Amos Rice was at Northborough. The Rice family had an early and
significant presence at Worcester County. I believe they were also at
Sudbury, Concord, and Framingham.

Thank you both for looking into this for me. I used "Systematic History

Fund, Instituted in 1895: Vital Records of Brookfield, Massachusetts, to
the
End of the Year 1849," Worcester, MA, Pub. by Franklin P. Rice, trustee
of
the fund, ca 1898-1906. I read it on the FHC microfilm #0547195 item 1,

page 256. Then a very kind lady photographed her headstone in the
Brookfield Cemetery, and it clearly says, "4th generation from Peregrine

White." Susan & John Rice had a daughter, Allis (or Alice) who married
a
Joseph Rice and had a son, buried in Brookfield, named "Peregrine White
Rice." Peregrine White did have a grandson, Jonathan White, who had a
daughter, Susanna, born same year as my Susanna in Yarmouth, Barnstable
Co.,
Ma; the family disappeared from Plymouth and Barnstable Counties, so no
more
is know about this family.
Since the Whites don't seem to be in Brookfield, I am hoping they
settled in another town in Worcester Co., where the Rice/White wedding
would
have been.
Thank you, both, but I do have all the dates for the children of
John
and Susannah. Another thing I could use, if available, is the maiden
name
and dates for a Mary Thompson, second wife of Susan & John Rice's son
Amos.
Thompson could be her name from her first marriage, or her maiden name
-- I
have no other information on her. Their marriage intention in Brookfield
was
dated 28 Oct 1805.
I certainly appreciate any and all help you have.

Dorothy,

I am not aware of any White family in Brookfield; the Rice family is
very well known. There are no White burials in Brookfield cemetery,
except for a few contemporary ones.

Dorothy:
What is the source of Susan's maiden name? Why do you think it is White?
The
Rice Genealogy does not give a maiden name for her. I can give yo8 exact

dates for kids etc. if needed.
