Maplet is mentioned as Maplet Rice in her father's will.
The gravestone inscription in the RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 17, p. 199, says Mrs. Hannah, widow of Mr. William Rice. Did Maplet die earlier, and was Hannah a second wife? According to the Rhode Island Cemetery Database, Maplet (Remington) Rice, buried in WW004 with her husband, was born c.1749 and died 3 Dec 1841. Perhaps she was also called Hannah (?). William's will mentions his wife Maplet.
A Remington family Bible record of a later generation says that Maplet married Benjamin Rice of Warwick. This Bible was or is in the Rare Book Room of the General Library of the University of Michigan.
Maplet Rice became a member of the Maple Root Baptist Church in Coventry, RI, on 3 May 1788. They also noted that she died 7 Dec 1841. Perhaps that was the date of burial.
Her will, dated 24 Aug 1840, mentions daughter Sarah Remington, as well as grandchildren James D. Remington, Phebe Remington, Roby Munroe, & Abby Ann King.
Maplet is a family name passed down from the Gorton ancestry. The maiden name of Samuell Gorton's wife was Mary Maplett.
