Vermont given as place of birth of father in 1880 census readings by children: Anne, Daniel & Ezra. Martin Co., MN county history also gives place of birth as Vermont.
Actual birthdate unknown, but with recent review of census records it would seem that Abner was born between 1785-87. Identified in 1820 as the Abner Rice living in Lebanon, Madison Co., NY, he was in the age range of 26-45. His wife was also in the same age range. Assuming that she was the Keziah, daughter of Daniel of Boonville, Oneida Co., NY, we have a birthdate of 1789 for her and I think we can safely say Abner was of the same age or possibly a few years older. Children listed in the 1820 census: 4 males, age 0-10 (Samuel, Daniel, Ezra and Hiram) and a daughter, age 0-10 (Mary).
By 1830, the family was still living in Lebanon, with Abner and Keziah in the 40-49 age range. Children: 2 males 0-4 (Owen and Benjamin); 2 males 5-9 (James and Hiram); 2 males 10-14 (Daniel and Ezra); 1 male 15-19 (Samuel). Female child 15-19 (Mary). The youngest daughter, Ann, was born about 1831 and we do not have her in a census until 1850 when she was already married to Joseph Lusignan and living in Mackinac Co., MI, along with several of her siblings.
We need to review early Vermont records, as well as those in New York. The search should be centered around the Boonville, Oneida Co. area where the Bucks lived in about 1810. For the ages of the children to be correct, this couple must have been married around 1810/11.
It is entirely possible that Abner and family lived with or near the Buck family after 1813 (and the insolvent discharge) making it possible that Daniel was born in Oneida Co. in 1815, as stated in the Rice bio in the Minnesota county history. They were in Lebanon, Madison Co., NY in 1820.
[9627]
The family of Abner Rice disappeared from the records of Madison Co., NY after 1830/31 when he was a delegate to the Anti-Masonic Convention and was also recorded in the US census.
An article about his son, Ezra Rice, appeared in the History of Grant Co. WI, 1881, in which it was stated that the Rice family left New York when Ezra was about 17 years old (circa 1834) and they lived in Pennsylvania for a time before moving further west to Ohio and Indiana. By 1850 at least half of the children were located in upper Michigan.
A Lusignan descendant related the story that Ezra Rice lived close enough to Niagara Falls to hear the falls but had never visited them. At the time, I completely dismissed this idea and told the researcher that Lebanon was a long way from Niagara and that someone must have been mistaken. But, as they migrated westward, perhaps the family lived for a time near Niagara, then headed into Pennsylvania and beyond. A thorough search of the area around Niagara should be undertaken.
There must have been some compelling reason for the Rices to migrate from upstate New York to upper Michigan. We only know that five of the children were there in 1850, but nothing more is known about Abner and Keziah after leaving Madison Co., NY (and little is recorded in that county). The parents could have died enroute and the children stayed together.
From about 1836 on we know that land was cheap in the upper penninsula. There were stands of white pine which brought Yankee loggers and lumbermen to Michigan. There is a book entitled Yankee Exodus by Stewart H. Holbrook, publ. by MacMillan Co., NY, 1950, which needs to be studied in depth. The author also has written a book entitled Holy Old Mackinaw, which I have been unable to locate. There is also a lot of information on the internet about The American Fur Company, started by Astor, that bears scrutiny. One of the earliest references to James Rice has to do with his work with that company. Some of the other members of the family were employed in the fishing industry and James eventually was a realtor but active in local affairs.
It would help to know more about the relationship with the Lusignan family and where they met the Rices. There were several marriages of Rice/Lusignan in more than one generation. Abner & the family may have been in the Green Bay, WI area for a time when Francois Lusignan was also there.
Having worked on this family intermittently since 1968, it is difficult to know what to search next. The parents didn't make a lasting impression anywhere, though the children (except for Mary, who has never been located) left a trail that could be followed. The records of Mackinac Co. WI are spotty, at best. Pennsylvania is a big state to tackle with no locality to zero in on and the same is true of the area around Niagara Falls.
Abner and his family do not appear in the 1840 census in Ohio. All Rice men with head of household named Abner have been ruled out. The family could have been in Ohio between census years, thus leaving no real records.
[15062]
Date of marriage was estimated from census records but the actual marriage record has not been found. Keziah is believed to be the daughter of Daniel Buck and Mary or Marietta Hayford of Bridgewater, MA, who later settled in Boonville, Oneida Co., NY. Madison Co., NY, where Abner and Keziah raised their family, is not far from Oneida Co.
The Buck lineage, which goes back to Pilgrim Francis Cooke of the Mayflower, has been entered into my database, but not connected. If, or when, a marriage is found for our Abner Rice and Keziah Buck, the records will be linked. There are other researchers who have already linked the two families, without benefit of proof, and this information can be found on the internet.
Abner could have been a descendant of Edmund Rice, who arrived in Sudbury, MA, circa 1638 or Robert Royce, who also arrived in MA during the early 1600's. So far, there is no real tie to either of these men. Both of them left countless descendants. Those descending from Robert Royce spell the surname alternately Royce or Rice.

Filed with deeds in Madison Co, NY, this "insolvent discharge" was difficult to understand. Debtor laws were harsh and it is still unclear whether Abner had to spend time in jail for his debts or if he was merely placed on "jail limits" as was a custom at that time.

Simpson, Barbara Louise Rice -- In Palo Alto, CA, July 22, 1987. Beloved wife of Conrad D. Simpson of Santa Clara. Loving mother of Mrs. J. (Careen) Johnston of Gilbert, AZ, Mrs. Don (Dennae) Adams of Orem, UT, Dairen Simpson of Sunnyvale and Branden Simpson of Palmdale, CA. Grandmother of fourteen. Dear sister of June Shepherd of San Jose, Marilyn Hughes of Carmichael, Agnes Waite of Colma, and Alice McCoy of Everett, WA. A native of Burbank, CA. Age 64.

Arrangements under the direction of Santa Clara Funeral, 984-1000. Interment Mission City Memorial Park.
[9494]
Copy of obit sent to me did not have date or name of newspaper. I have assumed that it ran in the Mercury Herald, as that was the main local newspaper of the time.
USGenWeb online now has cemetery records for Santa Clara County. Mission City Memorial Park records show Bobbie's age to be 64 years, 3 mos., 21 days.

Barbara L. (Rice) Simpson obituary, San Jose Mercury Herald, San Jose, CA, July 24, 1987,
After the death of Conrad Simpson (Nov. 2007), the family had Bobbie's remains moved from Santa Clara to Orem, UT.
[9496]
E-mail information from Melody Jones, Dec. 2007. The remains were shipped to Utah but cemetery officials indicated that a funeral home in Utah made all the arrangements and they had no record of which cemetery accepted the remains. The Simpson children did not bother to inform us of this transfer. We can only assume the burial took place in Orem, UT where Conrad and Dennae Adams live.

Much of it was written in a squiggly back-hand that was difficult to decipher. It was unclear from this file if Sarah ever received a pension.

Charlotte Nadine (Rice) Thompson obituary,
Mercury Herald, San Jose, CA, 13 Dec. 1972,
Thompson Last Rites Set Today. Los Gatos -- Rites will be held here this morning for Nadine Claire Thompson, 45, a former Evergreen area resident who died Sunday at her home at 224 Florence Dr., Aptos. Mrs. Thompson, a native of Sacramento, was a secretary during the 1950's to Chief of Detectives Barton L. Collins of the San Jose Police Department. She and her husband, Robert, were canary fanciers and participated in showings of the exotic birds. Manager of Loma Serena Stables in Monte Sereno, he is a frequent judge at horse shows, including the Grand National in the Cow Palace. They lived in Aptos the past six years. Also surviving are a son, Jess Robert Thompson, and daughter, Jennifer Claire Thompson, both of Aptos; and seven sisters, Ruth Horn and Marilyn Hughes, both of Sacramento, Alice McCoy of Seattle, Agnes Waite of San Francisco, June Shepherd of San Jose, Barbara Simpson of Santa Clara and Elizabeth McCraigh of Sunnyvale. Services will be at 11 a.m. at the Chapel of the Hills. Private inurnment will be in Oak Hill Memorial Park, San Jose. NOTE: Given names in this obit were in error. Her name was Charlotte Nadine, not Nadine Claire.
[9498]
Also on hand are the memorial card from the service, which I attended, as well as two other newspaper clippings sent to me by friends or relatives. Bob Thompson was so distraught over Nadine's sudden death that his sister, Wilma Thompson, made all of the arrangements. Unfortunately, she did not have Nadine's name right...referring to her as Nadine Claire when, in reality, her name was Charlotte Nadine. So, all of the clippings contain errors.
