Jacob Rice, son of an early settler of this county, was of German ancestry. He 
spent most of his life in Monroe township. He married Elizabeth Miller, and 
their children were: Jonathan, Henry (deceased), Solomon, Abraham, Isaac 
(deceased), Cornelius, Jacob, Hester A., Sarah (deceased), Elizabeth and 
Rebecca. All the sons were in the late war except Henry and Jacob. Isaac and 
Abraham were in Andersonville prison, and Isaac died there. Cornelius is now a 
farmer of East Providence township, where he has resided since 1865. His farm 
was improved by Jesse Akers.
