Why this blog?

Numerous hours each day are spent at my computer researching and writing about the Leslie F. Rice family, reaching back to 1630, through the years, and into this century. However, and unfortunately, I spend more time on the research side of things, and less on the writing. The result is the discovery of capsules of info which are informative, and often quite fascinating, but which remain with me and are not passed on to The Rice Kids. Some of whom might find these interesting, maybe even exciting.


The intention of this website is thus to release these bits of info as I discover them so as to allow others to participate in my encounters.


Another intention with this website is to allow for, and even create, a communicative process in which interested individuals can interact with me. Criticizing, idea thinking, questioning, and contributing in such a way that this website can be a source of information for enlightenment all of The Rice Kids….. whether they need it or not. :-)

Our Great-grandparents Rose and Francis










Our Great-grandparents Rose [Hefty] Rice (1857 – 1942) and Francis Jay Rice (1853 – 1936)

Mother and father to Leslie Francis Rice

It appears that both of these pictures were taken sometime after 1877 (since I have another picture of Francis from that date in which he is portrayed as much younger). It would be in our right to assume that these pictures might have been taken on the occasion of their wedding in 1880.
