"Twice in the 20th century nationally recognized research genealogists have attempted to determine the parents and ancestors of Edmund Rice. Mary Lovering Holman described the negative result of her search for records in the parishes near Stanstead and Sudbury, Suffolk County, England in "English Notes on Edmund Rice … ", The American Genealogist, Volume 10 (1933/34), pp. 133 - 137. Mrs. Holman is considered by many to be one of the best research genealogists in the 20th century. In 1997 the Edmund Rice (1638) Association commissioned Dr. Joanna Martin, a nationally recognized research genealogist who lives in England only a few miles from Stanstead and Sudbury to search again for records of Edmund Rice's parents. Dr. Martin reported in 1999 that she found no record that identified Edmund's parents or ancestral line...

"From Mrs. Holman's paper we have an excellent record of one Henry Rice's marriage to Elizabeth Frost in November 1605 at Stanstead. Mrs. Holman also documents the baptism of Edmund's first child on 23 August 1619 at Stanstead...

"Until someone can cite such a record, the association must state emphatically that Edmund Rice's parents and ancestry are not known and that Edmund Rice's descendants can not claim royal ancestry."

"The New England Rices belong predominantly to two large families. The Edmund Rice family (Group 1) is the larger of the two and also has the most members in our project of any group. The other is the Robert Royce family (Group 3 -- STEVENS LINE). These two families have been, and still are, frequently confused, since the name variants "Rice" and "Royce" appear widely in both families. However, the two are genetically distinct and have no common genealogy."

-- http://www.edmund-rice.org/haplotype.htm

Edmund's haplogroup and haplotype is as follows. Others with this haplogroup and 12-marker haplotype match are descended from Wiltshire and Norway, so this Rice line could very well be Norman; but it also might be Danish. It is probably not Anglo-Saxon. Of Professor Ken Nordtvedt's modal haplotypes, Edmund's most closely resemble I1a Norse (differing by two repeats), having its greatest gradient in Sweden. It is least like I1a Anglo-Saxon (differing by five repeats). According to the ancestry.com classification, Edmund's DNA is closest to ## 44 & 48 (Norse Viking, Norman or Danish) and farthest from ##47 & 50 (Danish, Norse Viking, Anglo-Saxon or Flemish).

REF: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1990854&id=I17259 c/o Wayne Roach W. Roach@hotmail.com

"Anne Scott may have come from the village of Bradfield St. George, about 10 miles northeast of Glemsford, though documented proof of her origin is lacking. Apparently they chose to be married at Hartest, about midway between.. We have not located any wills for this generation."

37002. Richard Skot/ Scott

37003. Joan unknown

"(37003) Richard Scott probably was born in Glemsford, where he lived and died. Reference [John Brooks] Threlfall's book "Fifty Great Migration Colonists...", [(1992) Heritage Books p. 102]. However, the dates and statements are very confusing- It is said that Richard married a second time, after his first wife's death, but since his first wife was buried Aug 23, 1556, I find it a little odd that he would marry a second wife (also named Joan) on Oct 8, 1556. In his will, supposedly dated two days after his burial, he calls himself a clothier, and asks to be buried in the churchyard at Glemsford. He leaves 40s. to "wife's son Andrew Jeames", which is the basis for saying that he married a second time. I dunno- he may have married only once, a widow..."

37006. John Strutt

37007. Joanna unknown

None of the dates above seem certain, nor the name(s) of John's wife. If (18503) Johanna Strutt were really born in or around 1536, it is unlikely that her mother and father were married in 1552. I suspect that John was married two or three times, and that Johanna was the mother of Johanna (and prob. of the other children as well).

SEVENTEENTH GENERATION

74004. Richard Scott

74005. unknown

"(74004) Richard Scott was named executor of his father's will, so he probably was of age then. He inherited lands in Glemsford, Boxsted, Cavendish, Somerton, and Hawkeden, all parishes near Glemsford. He apparently settled on the Boxsted property, for that is where he lived when he made his will, in which he bequeathed his house and lands in Boxsted and Somerton. There is no burial record for him in the Boxsted parish register, nor in Glemsford. Said lands, and house in Boxsted were left to his eldest son (74004ii) Thomas, and the will provided that Thomas pay various amounts to the other children. There was no mention of a wife in the will. Proved May 6, 1560."
