Biography

Ephraim Rice, son of Ephraim Rice and Hannah Livermore, was born in Wayland, Massachusetts in 1693.^[1] He married Sarah Whitney, daughter of Nathaniel Whitney and Mercy Robinson, on the 3rd of August, 1726. They had four children.^[2]

The date of his death in many online trees is given as 1742, but I can find no confirmation of that. The only source for that date I can find is from the Andrew H. Ward book, which states:

"Married Sarah Whitney, of Weston...He was then called of Worchester. They had four children, recorded at Wor.; and probably moved away soon after 1742."
