Nelson Seymour Trowbridge and Adeline Martha Mann Turner were cousins whose families moved to Jackson CA in the gold rush. They grew up and had six children each. Two of their kids married each other and became my great grandparents. You can contact me at mlwilson at ucsc dot edu.

Thomasine Frost and Edmund Rice: Ancestors of Henry Rice Mann

There is an extensive Wikipedia page on Edmund Rice (1594-1693) with some mention of his wife Thomasine Frost (1600-1654).  They were born and married in England, and emigrated to Massachusetts probably in 1638. They settled in Sudbury (probably among the founding members).

Our branch of the Rice family remained in Massachusetts until Patty Rice (1790-??) married Larnard (Leonard) Man (1787-1848). They moved to Vermont and then Michigan.  Their son Henry Rice Mann (b. Vermont) married Olive Lucinda Trowbridge (b. Vermont).  Henry is the one who was killed by a bear in California, while Olive and their children were travelling to join him by covered wagon.

Our branch is descended from Edmund & Thomasine's son Edward; but another son Thomas is the ancestor of Charlotte Clapp, who is an ancestor of my father's family.
