Misc:
It seems that this Rice is very likely descended from the Edward and Ruth of Dublin line. There is however a note that he came from Wales, but it is likely that it is an earlier generation that came from Wales. I have been told that the Meredith's came to Ireland with Strongbow, (romantic and difficult to check) or with Cromwell (unpleasant).Rice — Elizabeth ?. [Group Sheet]
