81 years old; born about 1754. His father is listed in various sources as Rev. Caleb Rice or Rev. Nathan Rice, from Sturbridge, Connecticut.
Graduated from Harvard University in 1773. In "Life in a New England town, 1787, 1788: diary of John Quincy Adams", a footnote states Nathan was a law student with John Adams.
Colonel Nathan Rice was a Revolutionary War veteran. He was aide-de-camp to Gen. Lincoln 1777-1781, Lieutenant of the 24th Continental Infantry, and served 'to the close of the war'. He is on the Chittenden County VT pension rolls, 1828, for serving as a Major in the Massachusetts Continental line (DAR Lineage book, 1905)
Nathan and Sophia were married before moving to Burlington around 1811. Their children, all born before Nathan and Sophia moved to Burlington, include:
- Sophia Rice Bradford, wife of Doctor G Bradford (it was suggested that Sophia's mother was Merial Leavitt)
- Priscilla Foote ( in 1834 living in Vermont)
- Caleb Rice "of Hingham, Mass."
After moving to Burlington, Nathan purchased several lots of land in Colchester and in Burlington.
Nathan's will states that he is to be buried next to his wife, Sophia, and that "the charges of my funeral be as little as ... will permit." so his children could benefit from a larger inheritance. The account of his estate includes a number of books on a range of subjects: History of Hingham (Mass); several books on the War of 1812, and General William Hull; poems; geography; navigation; philosophy; prayer, sermons, 3 collections of hymns, and several memoirs.
