BROADDUS, BRUCE, EDWARDS, HOWERTON, SMITH posted by Peggy Price on 07/29/96
Hello everyone....Here's some families of mine. My Trices mostly stayed in the Louisa Co. and Caroline Co. areas of VA.
William TRICE, Sr, (1742-1812) married Ann EDWARDS. They had a son named John (ca 1786-before 1812) born in Louisa Co., VA. John married Patsy SMITH (ca 1762-?) born Louisa Co., VA. They married 9 Sep 1783.
John and Patsy TRICE had a son named George Washington TRICE (8 Apr 1806-1 Feb 1868). This George Washington TRICE was a prominent Baptist preacher in the area. He married a Jane W. HOWERTON (12 JUl 1828-10 Apr 1909. Jane was born in King and Queen Co., VA. They had a son named George Washington TRICE (21 Mar 1856-16 Aug 1906) They are my great great grandparents.
George Washinton TRICE II and Jane HOWERTON had a son named George Washington TRICE III(1856-1906) of Caroline Co., VA. He married Alice V. BROADDUS( 1858-1930). I have a very interesting family story told to me by my mother if anyone has an interest in it. My mother remembers her as a very gentle, peaceful, kind, compassionate person. George and Jane are my great grandparents.
George and Jane had a son they named (you guessed it) George Washington TRICE IV(1897-1965) of Caroline Co., Va. He married Bertha BRUCE (1896-1985). They are my grandparents.

If anyone shares these families with me and would like to exchange info, I'd love to hear from you.

I'm not sure if I have Trice family or not. My great-grandmother was Maggie Gibson Rheuark b. abt 1874 (I have the date but can't get to it.) In 1946, she applied for a delayed birth certificate or Social Security. For proof of age, she used the Gibson Family Bible. On the letter, the bible was in the possession of Mrs. Jate Trice. This may have been her sister or a niece.

The Gibson family was living in either Helena Ark or Brinkley Ark. I was told a couple of weeks ago that Maggie's brother, George Gibson was buried in Brinkley along with Baggett relatives.

Anyone know this Trice lady?

If anything looks like it connects to your line, please let me know. I am interested in each generation and would like to fill in the gaps and build up my data. I am particularly interested in John Trice, Sr. and the GA group because this is where my Day line starts and I need a lot of direction in this area. Will trade GEDCOM (which I have finally learned how to make!!!!). Hope to hear from some of you if we can share knowledge, or even if we can't!

Hi all: Still looking for information on my John Trice, Sr. who was born ca 1738 in King & Queen Co., VA; lived Orange Co., NC and died Jones Co., GA 1812. Recently found him listed on church records at Long Creek Baptist Church, Warren Co., GA ca 1786-1797 along with TRICES: John, Jr., Sarah and Frances. John Sr.'s, dau. (name unknown) m. my Jonathan Day who is also listed as member of this church along with DAYS:Robert, Sr., Robert, Jr. and Fanny. Jonathan Day ended up in MS Terr. along with other individuals Robert Day, Sr. and Robert Day, Jr. (maybe same as listed on church records above?) and an assumed sister to Jonathan, Mary Day who m. William Aaron Butler. One reseacher said John Trice, Sr. was a "doctor"...don't know where they got the information or if it is documented and can't seem to find anything on this. Has anyone got connections to or information on any of the TRICE family above, or any ideas about this Georgia group of TRICES? HELP!

Peggy posted this in response to the query by Ham Trice.

Dear Ham, Just rec. your message and glad to find another Trice. We were just in Tennessee and there are scads of Trices in the Clarksville area. Don't know the origin however, have heard that Trice is for quick and also a hoist or tackle on a sailing ship so perhaps sailors in our ancestory. It is English as there are Trices still there and new immigrants as well. Our line has been in the US for 2 hundred years.

What is your line? Who is your oldest ancestor? Where did they come from.?

Would love to know more. There is a cousin who is trying to put a book together and has been working on it for over 20 years. He lives in Louisville, Ky.

See you, Peggy

Dear Ham,
I have tried to send you a letter back but it keeps returning. I am returning to sender with this to see if it goes through. Is your Ham short for Hamilton? That is my Dad's middle name.

Interested in information on the Trice surname. Just starting my genealogical quest. I know my great grandfather was Willis Henry Trice and was born on either St. Michael's or Tilghman's Island in Maryland. He died at age 83 in November 1952. He lived most of his life in Baltimore. Any direction you can give me would be helpful.

Response From Nancy Trice All of my Trice research has centered around the Hopkins/Webster Co, Ky area and back into Va and NC... I was not aware of any Trice's in Md. and don't have any info I can pass on to you, but maybe someone else on the list can. Why don't you let us know what info you already have. Maybe a name or place will ring a bell with someone. You can also help others by submitting any info you have found on any Trice anywhere.... marr lists, deeds, wills, births, deaths, obits, etc. You could maybe start by sending us Willis's obit

BENTLEY posted by Helen Trice-Williams on 10/31/96
My name is Helen Trice. I live in Columbus, GA. My father was name Reckord Trice. He died 12 July 1992. He had a lot of brothers and sisters. However, they are all dead. He was 85 when he died. His father was named Tom Trice. That is as far as I can go. I never knew him. He died before I was born.

I am hoping someone out there can provide some input, as I'm sure there are others and we are probably related. Years ago, my mother cut an article out of a newspaper with a Senator in GA with the last name of Bentley. He was a decendent of a family of Trice's. He lived in the Thomaston, GA area. I understand that there is a large family of Trice's in the area. I know of some in the Albany, GA area.

Hopefully, there is someone with information out there that will be able to provide the information as to where the name "TRICE" originated.

BAGGETT, ELLIOT, GIBSON, RHEUARK posted by Shirley A. Moore on 10/31/96
I trying to find out info on a Mrs. Jate Trice. I have a reference that she had the Gibson Family bible in 1946 that my g-grandmother, Maggie Gibson Rheuark used to verify age for either a delayed birth certificate or Social Security. Possible locations would be Ark or OK. Maggie was living in Muskogee, Okla in 1946 with her daughter, Imogene Elliot.

Other possible surnames would include BAGGETT.

BARBEE, HARRISON, MEACHEM, MITCHEM, MOORE posted by Ted Stout on 10/31/96
Nancy, What do you have for Sarah's ancestry? I have been given more than one answer.

Sarah Trice married Joseph Barbee 1 Oct 1782 in Orange County, NC

Their daughter Nancy Barbee married John Spencer Meachem. They were apparently in Monroe Co. Illinois by the time Spencer died because Nancy was appointed guardian of their children in 1839 in that county. By the time it got down to my wife's great grandmother Eliza, the name was called Mitchem.

Hi Ted... I don't have her ancestry... There is reference made by Dr. Tidwell that "a will made prior to Edward's by ___ Trice, mentions Edward married Tabitha; James married Sarah - (James died 1779), Joseph, John." He also speculates that Tabitha might have been Tabitha Moore instead of Tabitha Harrison.

Also, "Will of James Trice, recorded Aug 1781, Bk A pg 223, same county mentions wife Sarah, property given to sons, James and Joseph and brother John Trice, and to Charles Trice, son of brother Edward Trice."

Is this the same Sarah Trice that you are asking about???

I also wonder about the 2 year gap between the time James died and his will recorded...

I haven't done any personal research in NC or VA... everything I have is from books, etc. so I can't vouch for any of this info.

Hello Nancy,
My real name is Helen Trice. Ham was my father's nickname. He was 85 when he died 12 July 1992. His name was RECKORD TRICE. He and family lived in NEWTON/ALBANY, GA area. There was a large family of Trice's there. All of the original family members are deceased. My father did not have any boys, however, I urge my children to use the my surname in their children's names should they ever have any.

The information you have provided has been GREAT. I knew there had to be others, as the surname "TRICE" is not one you hear every day. Thanks! I will definitely keep in touch. Again Thanks.
