DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:

I haven't been able to find anything to support that either Symes-295 or Symes-194 married Mary Rice. A line on her profile says: "Mary have married John Semmes [Sims?].[2]"
p 164 says: "Mary Semmes=John Semmes" - no other information, no sources (that I found) & no mention of his family.
Also, her profile cites a baptism record that is not collaborated by the online copy: https://archive.org/stream/parishregisterof00stpe#page/32/mode/2up/search/1694 shows the Mary baptized 15 July 1694 to be the daughter of Thomas Reid, not Rice.
A version was published by the Colonial Dames in 1904. This version is in the Internet Archive. It does indeed have have Mary as the daughter of Thomas Reid. St. Peter's Parish (New Kent County, Va.). 1904. The parish register of Saint Peter's, New Kent county, Virginia from 1680 to 1787. Richmond: W.E. Jones, Printer. http://books.google.com/books?id=Si5EAQAAMAAJ.
And then there is the version by Chamberlayne in 1937. This version is only available online at Ancestry. It lists her as the daughter of Thomas Rice. St. Peter's Parish (New Kent County, Va.), and C. G. Chamberlayne. 1937. The vestry book and register of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent and James City Counties, Virginia, 1684-1786.

I have found no sources for a marriage of Mary Rice.
