Ebenezer RICE [QQ1776, w379] (Ebenezer³, Benjamin², Edmund¹) , born 24 Nov 1709 at Sudbury, MA^{11,1 {p43}}, son of Ebenezer RICE and Bethiah WILLIAMS. He died in 1793 in Annapolis County, NS^{118 {p569}}. He chose his uncle Stephen Williams, brother of his mother, as guardian on July 12, 1727.^{1 {p44}}

He married Anna RICE 23 Mar 1743 at Westborough, MA, listed as Ebenezer of Southborough^{57,1 {61, 83},45 {p15}}. She was born 6 May 1722 at Westborough^{57,1 {p61}}, died after 1770 at Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS, as deduced from the census. The 1768 census for Annapolis lists Ebenezer Rice with 1 male and 3 females in the household. Sons Benjamin and Joseph are listed separately. (Cousin Beriah Rice's family had already moved away.) The three females can only be Anna (wife), Sarah (b1753), and Elizabeth (b1756) as daughter Anna died in 1751. The 1770 census lists four persons in the household, all American. Therefore, your authors believe that Anna was alive at Annapolis in 1768 and 1770^{118 {153, 156}}, daughter of Charles RICE and Rachel WHEELER. Ebenezer RICE and Anna RICE resided after Apr 1743 at Westborough, MA^{1 {p83}}. They resided after 1760, (Ward mistakenly has them moving to Conway, where some of their children settled) at Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS^{1 {p83},118 {153, 156},117 {p105}}.
