Franklin was born in 1843, the son of Titus and Louisa Rice. Franklin had a twin brother, Francis. In 1850, the Rice family lived on their farm in Northfield, Washington, Vermont. The household included Titus Rice, 53, born in New Hampshire, a farmer with $2500 in real estate; his wife, Louisa, 49, b. NH; their six children, all b. NH, and all in school: Ellen, 16; Egnas, a daughter (probably Agnes? Edna?), 14; Betsey, 12; Marcus,10; and twin boys, Franklin and Francis, 7. Also living with them were (Titas’ parents) Lois, 87, b. Canada; and Silas, 93, a farmer, b. Canada. NOTE: this Census was enumerated on 29 August 1850. Death records for Silas Roys/RIce show his death on 30 July 1850. He may have died in 1851, or later? Additionally, this Census record has many errors in the spelling of names. I have corrected them here as far as I am able. I am confident that this Wikitree record is accurate. [1]
