Note: No death or burial record has been found for Rachel, but she is likely buried in East Greenwich, Rhode Island with her second husband. Her death year is an approximation; she was living in 1731 when she was the executrix of her husband's will.

Rachel was likely the daughter of John Rice and Ann Hackley of Dedham, Mass. She m. (1) c. 1680 Jedediah EVERETT, b. 1656, d. Dedham, MA 1699, the son of Richard and Mary Everett. Following Jedediah's death, she m. (2) c. 1703 Joseph DOLOVER, also a widower, whose first wife has not been identified. Rachel lived with her second husband in Greenwich (later East Greenwich), RI following their marriage. She was living in 1731 as the executrix of her husband's will, and thought to have lived a few years thereafter.

Children, with first husband, surname EVERETT:

* Tabitha, b. 15 April 1681; on 18 May 1699 she was called aged about 18 when her uncle John Everett was appointed as her guardian

* Ebenezer, b. 7 June 1682; on 18 May 1699 he was called aged about 17 when his uncle John Everett was appointed as his guardian

* Timothy, b. 12 Aug 1685; on 18 May 1699 he was called aged about 14 when his uncle John Everett was appointed as his guardian

* Abigail, b. 31 Aug 1690

* Rachel, b. 11 March 1692, m. Joseph Sweet, b. E. Greenwich 7 May 1687, d. 1747 (web account), the son of John and Mary Sweet. Rachel and Joseph were residing in E. Greenwich, RI on 20 Oct 1717 when they settled a legacy concerning her grandfather, Richard Everett.

Child with second husband, surname DOLOVER:

Abigail, b. c. 1704, d. c. 1730, had a child with _______ KING (the child was William King b. c. 1722). It appears they were not married, because in her 1724 marriage record she was named Abigail Dolover. She m. E. Greenwich 29 Oct 1724 Nathaniel NILES, b. c. 1702, d. 1785, the son of Nathaniel Niles and Jane Littlefield. The 1729 will of Abigail's father leaves a legacy "after both our deaths to grandson William King, son of daughter Abigail, wife of Nathaniel Niles." This strongly suggests that Rachel is the mother of Abigail. Following Abigail's death, her husband m. 1731 Ruth Sweet.
