Comments

Hi Richard -

Is there any more information you can provide that will help us help you? Such as:

Is RICE Malinda's maiden name and is GONCE her married name?

Country? State/Province?
Time frame?

Husband's name?  Melinda's parents' names.

Malinda's date of birth/death.

 

Any details you know will help us dig for you.

Thanks,
jan

Hi:

Wilson Gonce (born late 18th or early 19th century) was the name of Malinda's husband. You can see them and their kids on various census forms:

1850: In Jackson County, AL, NARC Series m432 Roll 7 Page 94

1860: In Creek Twp; McDonald County MO, NARC Series m653 Roll 633 Page 76

Wilson is also listed in the McDonald County (MO) 1861 Tax List (T21-R34) transcriptions; these might be available on microfilm from the Family History Center in Salt Lake, but it's been some time since I looked into them and I know they wre in the midst of a huge product to put everything on line.

Wilson and Malinda are discussed in Barbara Gonce-Clepper's "The Gonce and Wynne Genealogy" (out of print but available in some libraries) and are listed (but not discussed) in my own "Our Gonce Ancestors" (available on Amazon).

I hope this helps.
