Samuel Rice married Elizabeth King, daughter of Deacon Thomas King and Anne Collins, on 8 November 1655 at Sudbury, MA.5,2,6 Samuel Rice married Mary Dix, daughter of Edward Dix and Jane Wilkerson, in September 1668 at Sudbury, MA; (not found in the published records).7,2 Samuel Rice married Sarah White, daughter of John White and Joane West, on 13 December 1676 at Concord, MA.2,8,9 Samuel Rice died on 25 February 1684/85 at Marlborough, MA; (literally 1684).10,11 He estate was probated on 7 April 1685 at Middlesex County, MA.7,12 The births of all three children of Samuel and Mary Rice are also entered in the Marlborough vital records under Samuel and his first wife Elizabeth.11 Samuel Rice's second wife is entered in the Marlborough VR as having died 18 June 1678. Therefore, either that death date or this marriage date is undoubtedly wrong. Your authors believe the marriage date to be correct.
