Dangerfield and Duck River

Dangerfield and Nancy Rice lived for a time in Bedford Co., Tennessee, on the Duck River near Shelbyville. Dangerfield, Nancy, and the younger children moved to Missouri, arriving there about the time the territory achieved statehood in 1821. They settled in what was then called Lillard Co., Missouri but later became Lafayette Co. Dangerfield Rice died there in 1827 and supposedly was buried on or near his farm.

John Rice Sr. named 12 children in his will, and probably listed them in birth order; otherwise he probably would have grouped the sons together and the daughters together. The 9th individual named in the will was Dangerfield Rice. Dangerfield Rice was born in 1775. He definitely lived in Hawkins Co., Tenn. because that is where he married his first wife, Margaret Looney. She died there and he then married Nancy Brown.


WILL OF JOHN RICE, SR.

Page 415 Dated: Sept. 18, 1811 In the name of God, Amen. I John Rice, Senior, being for some time past in declining state of health but of sound mind and memory, and calling to mind the mortality of all men--that it is appointed unto all men once to die--do by these presents declare, ratify and announce my last Will and Testament in the manner following, to wit: After commending my soul to God and my body to the dust from whence it came, to be buried in a decent and Christian manner, hoping they will be again united at the General Resurrection and received into the favor of God. I do bequeath and dispose of all my worldly goods and chattels in the following manner:

First. I allow all my just debts to be paid. I give and bequeath to my daughter Sally three dollars, thirty-three cents. To my son Edward, three dollars, thirty-three cents. To my son William three dollars, thirty-three cents. To my daughter Elizabeth three dollars, thirty-three cents. To my daughter Anney, one hundred dollars. To my son John three dollars, thirty-three cents. To my son Shelton, three dollars and thirty-three cents. To my daughter Polly, one hundred dollars. To my son Dangerfield, three dollars thirty-three cents. To my son Reuben, three dollars, thirty-three cents. To my son Drury, three dollars, thirty-three cents. The balance of my Estate I give to my daughter Agness.

I do nominate and appoint my trusty friends Michael Looney and David Coldwell to execute this my last Will and testament, revoking all former wills by me made heretofore to be null and void and declaring this to be my last Will and Testament. Given under my hand and seal this 18th day of September in the year of our lord, 1811.
