She married John RICE 7 May 1761, (6th per Rice Gen'l Register) at Sudbury^{11,2 {p119},45 {p12}}. He was born 17 Dec 1738, (literally 1738-9 per vital records, but 1739 per Ward, and shown as December 26th per Supplement) at Worcester, MA^{70,1 {p70},2 {p119},45 {p12}}, died 2 May 1811 at Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS^{116 {#3958, estate folio R18},227 {p1},2 {p119}}, son of Matthias RICE and Mary BOYDEN. Relocated to Nova Scotia, on the ship Charming Molly with Beriah Rice and Ebenezer Rice Jr. He settled on the west side of the Lequille River. Your authors note that John Rice and Ebenezer Rice's names do not appear on the manifest of the Charming Molly, a manifest that has survived^{2 {p119}}. The Rice Genealogical Register, 1970, says "John went to Nova Scotia on ship 'Charming Molly' with Beriah Rice and Ebenezer Rice Jr. He settled on the west side of Lequille River." In his 1897 History of the County of Annapolis, W A Calnek provides the passenger manifest the first trip of the Charming Molly. A Beriah Rice, together with Beriah's sons Stephen and Benjamin, are on that manifest; John Rice's name is not. This does not mean that John did not arrive in 1760, only that he was not on the first, recorded trip of the Charming Molly.

In his addendum to Calnek's history, Judge Savary provides a list of petitioners for a Grant of Confirmation of the Township of Annapolis, dated October 30th, 1765. John Rice's name was not on that list.

Back to Calnek's history, John Rice's name appears on the census of 1768 for Annapolis. He has three males and three females in his household, all American. He was enumerated in the 1770 census with six people in his household, two American and four Acadian. We may assume that the four Acadians were his children born in Nova Scotia.

According to Marion B McCormick, 1975: "He was the ancestor of the greater part of the Annapolis Valley Rice family. He was a friend of Col. Hoar and settled on part of his farm, and during the Colonel's absences from home, he looked after the affairs of his friend. After the Colonel's death, John bought part of the estate, and later passed it on to his son James, who had been born on the farm, and who dies there in 1886." He resided about 1760 at Annapolis, Annapolis Co, NS^{1 {p70}}. He was listed in the township records as surveyor of land Apr 1792 at Annapolis Royal, Annapolis Co, NS^{118 {p175}}. He made a will 4 Apr 1811 at Annapolis Royal, which was recorded 24 May 1811 naming wife Mary and children Mary Potter the wife of Israel Potter, William, James, Silas, and Thomas^{116 {#3958, estate folio R18}}.
