Parents for Colonel William Henry Grice from South Carolina?

Question

Does anyone know the parents of Colonel William Henry Grice? He was born in Horry County, SC around 1785 and died in Marion County, SC in 1854. He was a senator for Kingston (Horry County) from 1816-1820 and Liberty (Marion County). I can't seem to find any information regarding his parents. The link to his record contains some more details as well; please reply if you have any leads. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated as well! Thanks! :)

Thank you! I have run across those names as well, but as I wasn't able to find a definitive connection, I kept looking. Have you found any documents (wills, etc.) that tie William Henry to James Thomas and Mary Martha?
