!COURT RECORDS:
Death of Ella C. Regan is found in DEATH RECORDS OF CHEROKEE COUNT Y,
IOWA, Vol 2, p 154, Item 4 which shows her life as 55yr 1 mo 19 da .Her
date of death was 18 July, 1910. We calculate her birth date as 29 May,
1855.

!BURIAL:
"Ella C. Regan" is buried in the Pigott family plot at Mt. Calvary
Cemetary, Cherokee, Iowa, in Lot C-38.

!NOTES:
In the 1895 Iowa State Census, Ella is shown as age 40 born in
Jackson County, IA and both of her parents of foreign birth. There
is no entry for Leo who was not born until the following year.
In the 1900 US Census for Sheridan T/S, Cherokee Co, IA., Ella is
shown as being born in May 1835, instead of the correct date of May 1855. It
also shows her to be 65 years of age, instead of the correct age of 45 years.
She was born in Iowa and both parents were born in Ireland. It states that
Ella and Cornelius had been married for 6 years providing a marriag edate
of 1894.
Another interesting anomoly. FHL 1428671, pg. 154, is the Death Register of
Cherokee County. It shows the death of Ellen Pigott on 18 July, 191 0and
gives her age as 35 years, 1 month and 19 days. Our Ella would hav ebeen
55 years of age on that date.

!WILL:
The Last Will of Henry Rice can be found in WILL BOOK Vol 5-6, a t pp
119-125, FHL 925457. Henry mentions all of his children and most o fthe
children of his deceased children for whom he makes provision. Som eof the
names are difficult to make out and are probably copied incorrectly .He
makes provision for several of the children of James Jerauld and hi sde-
ceased spouse, Mary Rice Jerauld, daughter of Henry. He mentions that his
daughter Elizabeth Mellone "has the hard Fortune to be blind" and goes on
to thank her husband for care of her and asks all of his children t ogive
any aid to Mr. Mellone which might be necessary for the care of Elizabeth.
He names his son Wanton as his sole Executor. The will is dated March 13,
1798. He refers to his beloved wife Phebe but an entry in Rhode Island Vital
Records (cite below) refers to her as Martha.

!VITAL STATISTICS:
Information concerning the birthdates of his children, the date o fhis
death and the name of his wife was obtained from RHODE ISLAND VITAL RECORDS,
1636-1850, Vol. 1., KENT COUNTY, p 199, (FHL 974.5 V2a Vol 1.

.

!NOTES:
The Last Will of his father Henry Rice, Sr. dated 13 March, 1798 mentions
the fact that Henry Jr. is deceased and it names his four daughters ,Mary,
Phebe, Mercy and Deborah Rice.

!NOTES:
The Rhode Island Marriage Book refers to the marriage of Susannah
Jerauld and Henry Rice on September 22, 1782. Earlier Susannah's sister
Freelove married Henry's brother, Caleb Rice, on January 9, 1772. Freelove
is mentioned in Dutee's will several times but there is no mention of
Susannah. The Marriage Book indicates that the father of Henry was also
named Henry.

.

!NOTES:
It is noted that a Thomas Rice, Rosanna Rice, William Rice and Map let
Rice executed a deed to Edward Gorton Jerauld on April 29, 1813. I twas
initially assumed to refer to the uncles of Edward, brothers of his mother
Phebe and their wives. However it is noted that Phebe's brother William
became deceased several years earlier.

NOTES:
William is mentioned in the Last Will of his father Henry Rice asbeing then deceased. It names William's children George Rice andSarah
Williams. There is some confusion however in that Thomas and Williamand their spouses signed a deed to Edward Gorton Jerauld on April 29,
1813. Whether this was a different William (m. Maplet Rice) or notwill have tobe determined.
