Can anyone who reviews this message board assist me in discovering the circumstances of the family of Jerome B. Rice who married Sarah Ann "Sallie" Taul? They were both born in Breckinridge County, Kentucky. Jerome B. Rice, born April 1862, was the son of James Rice and Letitia (maiden surname unknown). James Rice can be found living in the Cloverport District when the 1870 census was conducted. When the 1880 census was enumerated, James Rice had moved his family to the Liberty Hall District of Breckinridge County.
Sarah Ann "Sallie" Taul, born January 18, 1865, was the daughter of John Richard Taul and Sarah Jane Ball. I would also like to learn the names of the parents of Sarah Jane Ball.
I found Jerome and "Sallie" Rice listed in the 1900 Federal Census for Ohio County, Kentucky, Magan Township, p. 230a.
Three issue were listed for them, all females, born in Kentucky. The names are very difficult to read. They appear to be: Aubrey Rice, daughter, born October 1890; Jazie Rice, daughter, born July 1892; and Mammie Rice, born July 1895. Jerome is listed as a merchant. Also living with him was his brother, Nat (Nathaniel Rice), age 44 years, born in Kentucky. Nat was listed as what appears to be a car salesman and druggist.
This family does not appear in the 1910 Federal Census. Does anyone know what happened to any of the members of this Rice family from Breckinridge County, Kentucky?
