Notes

Her birthplace (New York City) and her middle name are identified in the birth record, Danbury town hall VRs Births 2:95, for son William Hawley Rice. That same record (5 Aug 1885) shows him to be her 7th child, and all children are living. However, her obituary states that she was born in Jersey City on 6 Oct 1850. Father's name & Date of death from Jo (Jackson) Rice in email of Sept 1999
