Under Mercy (7) Bigelow who married Isaac Rice you listed as first child,
Fanny F., b. 14 Jan 1810 in Bennington, VT and died 18 Sept, 1893,
MI, m. 18 Sept 1831 ______Carpenter. That caught my attention because
Fanny is my grgrandmother who married Truman Carpenter, b. 2 July 1811, son
of Eli Carpenter and Julia (Crary), all of Bennington, VT . I have
been looking for her parents. The dates fit my findings from her tombstone
(she was Fannie there). Was the source of all your information from
the Isaac Rice bible, including her place of death and the date of her marriage?
I ask because she had been living in Portage Co, WI since the early 1850's
and she was buried in the Badger Cem., Portage Co., WI, so I wondered about
the MI location for her death. I've been looking for the date of their
marriage as it is not listed in the VT Vitals. Do you or anyone have
any more about her father, Isaac Rice of Bennington, VT? Also did I
understand your source for the Rice bible was the Dau. of the American Rev
Library?
Thanks for any help,
Nancy Serr
