Greenfield Township

The first to settle in the township were Daniel Faulkner, James Rice (who died at the advanced age of one hundred and twenty years), and Andrew Faulkner. On the 22d of June, 1882, the latter gave an account of his early pioneer recollections to the one appointed to collect and record them for this work, and four days later he had "passed beyond the river," dying suddenly June 26th, 1882. The pioneers first settled at the forks of Symmes creek, Daniel Faulkner building the first cabin, in 1806.

NEWSPAPER ARTICLES

Niles' Weekly Register, Volume 59, September 1840 ? March 1841, Printed by the Editor: Jeremiah Hughes, Baltimore, MD, page 288 which states "Longevity: There is a man living in Greenfield Township, Gallia County, Ohio by the name of James Rice who was 116 years old on the 24th of April last and yet bids fair to add some years to the days of his earthly pilgrimage."

Gallipolis Journal, 8 Aug 1839

James Rice of Greenfield Twp. Gallia County, Ohio was 116 years old last June. His health is good, and he still retains strength sufficient to walk about without assistance. He has a son living, who is 83 years of age.

Subject: Re: [Rice-Southern-L] RICE in Montgomery/Grayson pre-1790

A James Rice and Robert Bristco/Frisco had a large land holding in the area of Montgomery, Wythe, Tazewell County, Virginia called the James Rice Robert Frisco improvement. A number of land sales from this improvement are listed
in the court record books of Montgomery, Wythe and Tazewell Counties.

James and his wife Mary sold their land in Virginia and moved to Gallia County, Ohio in their later years. James is listed in the 1840 census as 116 years old in good health. This was so unusual that the census taker wrote it across the line from James' name. A Gallia County News paper mentioned his longevity a couple of years later. The last Virginia land sale I have listed is to their grandson Jeremiah Lambert for a token price.

They spent their last few years of life in Gallia County with the offspring of their daughter Hannah who married Job Lambert. Some of the children of this Rice-Lambert related family migrated to Carter and Lawrence County Kentucky in the early 1800's.

James was born Aug. 24, 1724 according to the census record. The news article stated he was born in June. James's daughter Hannah married John Withrow in Cabell County, Virginia after the death of her husband Job Lambert. The 1850 census records list Hannah as age 90 born in Virginia. That would place James in Virginia in 1760. James was living in Montgomery County in 1782 next door
to Robert Briscoe, other Rice's on the tax list that year were John and Spencer. Job Lambert's father Phillip was also there.

BIOGRAPHY

From Find A Grave
From Ruth Rice Patterson, his second great grandaughter

James Rice was born 27 November 1795 in the area of Wythe and Russell Counties, Virginia which later became Tazewell County created 20 December 1799. Specific parents cannot be proven. His age and birth date are taken from his Hebron Cemetery burial record; age at death. 6 August 1874, 78 years, 8 months, 10 days. James? family moved from Virginia to Gallia County, Ohio in the early 1800?s.

James can first be documented in August 1812 in Gallia County, Ohio where he is reflected as a private in the Ohio Militia in Captain Isaac Butler?s Company (9Aug1812 ? 9Oct1812) which was mobilized for the War of 1812. He again enlisted in Captain Joseph W. Ross? Company (1Sep1813 ? 1Mar1814) and served in the Detroit, Michigan area until discharged in March 1814. In 1850 James filed a Land Bounty claim with the US Government for this military service and was awarded 160 acres of government land located in Iowa. He later sold his interest in that land to another individual who took possession of the land in Iowa.

In 1815 James Rice married Violetta ?Zeletty? Keeton, 21 February 1815, in Gallia County, Ohio. Violetta Keeton was the daughter of David Keeton a Revolutionary War soldier residing in Gallia County, Ohio at the time. That marriage produced seven children, daughters Irena, Fatima and Esther, and sons Edward W., Tazwell (T.S.), Elias M., and James V. They were all born in the Gallia/Jackson/Athens County area of Ohio.

In late 1834, James Rice purchased land equating to approximately 120 acres in Athens County, Ohio (Athens County Deeds, Vol 7, pg 704). In 1850 due to county boundary changes that land relocated into newly formed Vinton County, Ohio. In the 1850 US Federal Census, the family was living in South Brown Township, Vinton County, Ohio. The James Rice family lived at this location until September 1856 when James and Violetta sold the family farm and moved to Eagle Creek Township, Lake County, Indiana. All of their seven children and their families moved with them to Indiana.

James was a farmer in Lake/Porter County, Indiana until his death, 6 August 1874. He owned land in Sections 15 and 16, Township 33N, Range 7W. Land which straddled County Line Road between Lake and Porter Counties.

His wife, Violetta, preceded him in death (15 September 1869). Both are buried in the Hebron Cemetery, Hebron, Indiana.

His obituary is a two sentence entry in the Porter County Vidette, dated 13 August 1874, Vol. 18, Pg.3, Col. 5. ?Died, on the 5th inst., at his residence two miles southwest of here, James Rice, Sen. He was a soldier in the War of 1812?.

OBITUARY

From Find A Grave

"TAPS" FOR CIVIL WAR VETERAN

Death of Geo. W Rice of Orton Twp. Occurred Last Sunday Evening

George W. Rice, a Civil War veteran, who for fifteen years has been a highly respected resident of Orton township, this county, died at his home Sunday evening, December 9, at 9:15 o'clock. The direct cause of his death was pleurisy, but he had been declining in health for months and his friends realized that the end was but a short time away.

George W. Rice was born in the state of Illinois June 15, 1839, and was therefore over 78 years of age. He came to Minnesota when a young man, settling at Northfield, where at the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, he enlisted in Company "F", 8th Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers, and served with honor throughout the war. He was under General Thomas and participated in the terrible battles waged in Tennessee. Later he was a member of the troops who went to the Bad Lands in South Dakota to subdue an Indian tribe which caused much trouble after the war.

Some years after the war he came to Todd county where he lived several years and then came to Orton township fifteen years ago where he had since made his home. Deceased was an exemplary citizen, a kind and loving husband and father and he numbered his friends in this part of Wadena county by the hundreds.

"Dad" Rice, as he was affectionately called by his friends, was a true blue patriot and never did he think of himself too old to serve his beloved country. He risked his life hundreds of times and suffered untold hardships during the Civil War and always said that he would do it again to defend "Old Glory" which should be an inspiration to all young men in the present time of danger to our glorious nation.

Deceased is survived by his second wife and nine children, six sons and three daughters. The funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon and interment was made in the McClure cemetery in Lyons township. Rev Smith preaching the funeral sermon.

Victim of Hydrophobia
Mrs. Esther Butts Bitten by Mad Dog ? Resulted in Death

Mrs. Esther Butts, Seventy-eight years old, making her home with her son, J.V.Butts, died Saturday at 7:10 p.m., from the effects of a bite from a mad dog over a month ago.

About the 1st of February the Butts dog jumped on another dog and were fighting near the Butts home, when Mrs. Butts attempted to part them and the Butts dog bit her slightly on the back of the hand. The dog then went away and bit a number of dogs in the neighborhood, returning home at night, where it was found dead a short time after the above occurrence.

Nothing was thought of the bite on Mrs. Butts hand until last week, when it began to pain her, and on Wednesday as she went to take a drink the sight of the water threw her into convulsions. Physicians were at once called and everything done to get the poison out of her system, but it had too thorough a hold, and after seeing there was no chance for her recovery, the doctors tried only to relieve her great suffering, in which they were partially successful. She remained conscious until Saturday noon and death came Saturday evening.

Funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. J.H. Deyo, after which the remains were interred in Twin Groves cemetery. They family have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their sad bereavement.

Esher Rice was born June 11, 1824; was married September 6, 1844, to James Butts at McArthur, Ohio. To this union was born nine children, of whom three are known to survive, as follows; William Butts, of Park Place, Oregon; J.V. Butts of Severy, and J.H. Butts, of Tallahassee, Florida. They moved from Ohio to Indiana in 1856, then came to Kansas in 1872, where they have lived ever since. She was a member of the M.E. Church for a number of years.

Lonely? Ah, no, not lonely
While Jesus standeth near.
He comes within the tent door,
I feel His presence here.

Friendless? Ah, no, not friendless
While Jesus is my friend.
I change, but He remaineth
Sure loving to the end.

Weary? Ah, yes, so weary,
But leaning on His breast;
My soul hath sweet assurance
Of His eternal rest.

Three Deaths in One Family

Three members of one family passed away in one week at the home of Elijah Barnett on the head of Dry Fork. On Wednesday of last week his sister, Miss Barnett, died aged 89, and on Saturday his wife. Shown Barnett, passed away aped 76, and on Monday of this week Mr. Barnett joined the loved ones, he being in his 84th year. All the deaths were due to the infirmities of old age.

The Barnetts were raised on Dry Fork, in West Virginia, near where Yukon is now located. Several years ago they Bold their property to the Yukon Coal Company and moved to the Barker farm in this county where they have since resided, and all three were buried in the family burying ground on their present home place.

THREE DEATHS IN ONE FAMILY

Last Monday Elijah Barnett died at his home oh Dry Fork, aged 83 years. The Saturday before, his wife, 76 years old, was buried. A few days before, in the same week, his maiden sister, Sallie, who lived with him, died, aged 89 years. Mr. Barnett and his wife died of pneumonia, and the sister may also have had the same disease. The deaths of these aged people occurring in the same house within a weeks time, is a remarkable coincidence. We recall no similar occurrence. Mr. Barnett came to this county from West Virginia about a year ago. A few days ago he was in town, and called at this office, appearing in good health and reasonably active for a man of his years.
