Charles Elliot Rice

Notes:

Charles Elliot Rice is my 7th Cousin, one time removed. He was a photgrapher at the time he married Ellen Hynes. Later he was listed as an employee of C.W. Sayward, manufacturor of doors, sash, blinds and stairrails; dealer in lumber, glass anand putty; also custom planing and sawing. Local Central Street, Woodstock, Vermont Family tradition has it that he cut himself while doing carpentry work and the wound didn't bleed much, though he died of consumption, could that have been causeed by "blood poisoning" or massive infection? Have not as yet found date of a divorce or an annulment from Mary Jane Heath of Barnard; but the marriage to Ellen is recorded in the Woodstock, Vermont town records.

3. George Rice

Notes:

George Proctor Rice was a chair maker. First of our side of the Rice family to come to Vermont. Many of his granfather's ( Reuben Senior ) siblings came through Vermont on their way to Western Reserve, New York and at least two, Eliakim and David, are buried in Jennyville cemetery, Hartland, Vermont. (town between Windsor and Woodstock )- GJR All of this information comes to the Tripp File via Gerry Rice.

George married Clarissa Goodrich Angell in 1840 in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Clarissa (daughter of Noel Angell, Junior and Abigail Goodrich) was born about 1821 in Bridgewater, Windsor, Vermont, USA; died on 13 Jul 1899 in Woodstock, Vermont. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Clarissa Goodrich Angell Rice is my 6th Cousin, two times removed. Many other girls and relatives, perhaps even her father and mother , went from Bridgewater and Barnard Vermont to work in the Textile Mills and other Factories in Massachusettsts. About this time it was said that one year in Vermont, there was a frost every month. Many hillside farmers could not grow enough to provide the seed needed for the next year's planting. Times were really tough and there was an exodus from thhe state, with many headed west to farm or south to Massachusetts to work in the textile mills or shoe factories. Lucky for us, because that is how a Vermont farm girl came to meet and marry George Rice, a chairmaker from Fitchburg. It's also sad to note, that while they were on the farm, the Rice men lived to a ripe old age, but once in the city or in a factory ( at least George P. and his son Charles E. ), most died young of consumtion or like diseases-GJR Herman William Tripp--Remembering......

Notes:

Gerald Jarvis Rice is my 8th Cousin two times removed. He has supplied all of the Angell information of his ancestery back to George P. Rice and Noel Angell. Breffnie Whelan, my 9th Cousin spent much of his life researching and providing information about the daughters of John The Founders and other female descendants.

Reuben married Dorcas Polley. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Noel Angell Junior is my 5th Cousin, three times removed. He seemed to have lived on his father's farm. One of the National Census for Vermont has them in Barnard, another in Bridgewater. It is also likely that they went to Massachusetts with maany other friends and relatives during the 1830's for a stay. They had returned to Vermont by the time his son in law George Rice died in 1860 in Woodstock. He and his wife are buried in the River Street Cemetery, Woodstock along side Charles and Clarissa ( Angell ) Rice and young Elsie.- GJR Herman William Tripp--Remembering......

Notes:

Noel Angell is my 4th Cousin, 4 times removed. In 1805, He purchased 115 Acres of land in Bridgewater Hollow from Oliver Williams of Woodstock. The purchase price was $287.50 and the deed was recorded on October 29, 1805. At the time he and his young family were living in Wendell, New Hampshire ( now Sunapee ) and it appears that the entire family may not have permanently moved to Vermont until after 1810, as some appeared in the 1800 and 1810 Census in Wendell. It is recorded that his oldest daughter, Polly, married Benjamin Woodward in Bridgewater on 18 October 1809. Noel Senior appears in the 1813 Bridgewater ( Tax? ) Book, page 411, as paying taxes on 65 acres and son Colburn taxes on 50 acres, both totalling the original 115. Brothers, Stukely, Hezekiah, Esek, and Abner appear on the same list: Stukely with 50 acres bounded South on Whitney Thayer lot, Hezekiah 200 Acres, Esek 87 acres bounded South by North. Angell, Abner ? acres bounded on the South by Samuel Woodward. Noel was bounded East by South Angell and West by Joshua Whitney. Further it is mentioned that Stukely, Esek, and Noel live on the lots indicated. What is belived to be the cellar hole of Noel's home in Bridgewater Hollow was visited by some of the Rice and Hammond families in October 1994 (beautiful spot); previously pointed out to GJR by Ira Stevens who owns a little corner of what had been Noel's land. The cellarhole is located about 300 feet west of the right hand (eaasterly) trail and just n/w of two parallel stone walls running in a south westerly direction that must have had a road between them. The two old roads, now Vast ( Vermont Association of Snow Travelers) snowmobile trails, steeply decend as a sort of "V: from the Applachion trail along the top of the rim surrounding the "Hollow" and enter, only yards apart, the clearing below the recently constructed log home of Ira Stevens which at the present time is the last place on the travled road. The "Hollow" itself is also quite elevated and it's access is a steep road cut in the side of an equally steep hill above a tumbling brook which also descends from the :"Hollow". The settlers in the early days of Vermont must have really wanted to be away from the misty dews and damps of the valleys. I believe most ot the land in the vicinity is now owned by a Whitney family?) and only a couple of year round homes, where 150 years ago there was a thriving farming district, with its oown school. Noel and Hannah are probably buried in one of the many unmarked graves in the Angell cemetery in the Hollow, where also is buried Hannah's sister Sarah a.k.a. "Sala", the wife of Stuckley Angell ( he died and was buried about 30 years later in Rochester, Vermont wher he had gone to live with one of his sons). Colburn Angell has a grave with a stone in this cemetery as do a few others-GJR. Herman William Tripp--Remembering......these rocords from Gerry Rice.

Noel married Hannah Colburn on 09 Feb 1788 in Wendell, New Hampshire. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
