Biography

Research Notes

Bernard Rice often said Benjamin Rice came down to the Machias area from Nova Scotia, Canada, and that he lived either on or by Indian land up there. My grandmother said the same thing. We have never been able to find out who his parents were. It is believed Benjamin may be buried in Centerville, Maine since his wife, Jane is buried there.- posted by Karen Tobo Feb 2016.
