Edmund Rice and Thomasine Frost moved to Great Berkhamsted around 1627. Several of their children were born here: Lydia (1627/8), Matthew (1629/30), Daniel I (1632, infant), Samuel (1634), Joseph (1637/8). Edmund's birthplace is not Great Berkhamsted; WikiTree's best research places his birth at Stanstead, Suffolk. The tree's claim that this was his birthplace appears to conflate residence with origin.
Birthplace of Edmund Rice (c. 1594) and his first wife Thomasine Frost (10 August 1600, at St James, Stanstead). Their first four children (Mary 1619, Henry 1620/1, Edward 1622, Thomas Sr. 1625/6) were also born here.

Charles Leslie Rice's residence in 1940 per US Census. Open question: why was the family in Tidewater Virginia in 1940 when they had been in Pittsfield Mass and Oak Park IL before and after? Possible WWII-era engineering assignment.

Family cottage area shared by Brant's grandmother Barbara F Rice and her older sister Winifred Rice ('Aunt Winnie') in the mid-20th century. A meaningful family location and a candidate explanation for the family's oral history of 'tribal blood' — long-standing community proximity to the Anishinaabe / Ojibwe of Lac du Flambeau, possibly without a documented Native intermarriage. Worth investigating further: which specific lake / shore / cottage, what years, who else in the family spent time there. See https://www.ldftribe.com/ for the official tribal site.
