    The following notes are from Norma Roberts:

    Cherry Fletcher Bamberg has done extensive work on John Rice and his life. See her work for more info.

    The name John Rice ("John Riss") shows up in Warwick records for the first time on 13 Jan 1661, when he joined Edmund Calverly and Randall Holden in witnessing an indenture. John O. Austin, who published a biographical sketch of John Rice, says he came from old England with Mr. (Edmund) Calverly.

    No source has identified John's parents but he was very close to Edmund Calverly, and given the difference in their ages (Calverly was born in 1613), it can be assumed that John may have been an apprentice of Calverly's or some kind of relative back in England. Calverly made a deed of gift to John and Elizabeth Rice on 18 Nov 1676 "in consideration of the Love and affection which I have," but mentions no relationship. Calverly also made a second, also unexplained, deed of gift 23 Jan 1677/78 to John Rice alone.

    No proof of when his wife Elizabeth died or whether he remarried, or no birth records of his children's births can be found in Warwick records. He had two sons to whom he made deeds of gift, but it is possible he may have had one or more daughters (unknown at this time). Elizabeth may have died young and John never remarried and this could explain why only two children are found for John and Elizabeth.
