Meshack Rice and Family

Meshack Rice and Family

Researching Meshack Rice and his son Alfred of Twillingate. Alfred was born in 1849 in Twillingate. Does anyone have these individuals in their family tree or could tell me more about them? Meshack would be my GGGreat Grandfather.

The 1836 census of Twillingate shows 3 families named Rice, all Anglicans. James Rice lived on the North Island, was town constable and seemingly also a farmer. On the South Island, at Little Harbour , lived two Rices. One was Jonathan, a fisherman with 2 boats but no servants. The other was Meshack, also a fisherman with one boat and no servants.

So if Meshack was living in Little Harbour in 1836 then he may have been born there or had more children than Alfred. I don't even know what Meshack's wife's name is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

(I posted this a while ago but was hoping to put it out again because I haven't had any new leads on this family hopefully someone out there may know something)

My grandmother was Priscilla Winnifred Rice, born in Lower Little Harbour, married Willie Joseph Warr, Little Harbour. I expect that all Rice's in Little Harbour were related. Winnifred was born May 12,1891 and married in February 1918.
