I too have noticed that my grandmother "Minnie" Rice, was known as Minerva and some other names, on censuses, but her tombstone, has Minnie with no " " and her children all called her Minnie.

The question still remains who was the father of Thomas Rice? Also where does the SURNAME RILEY, come into play, He has a maternal half-brother, John Riley.  Was John's father married to their mother?
