Children of Elizabeth Brooks (1747/1750 – 1816) and Husband George Rice (1735 – 1792): Rebecca Rice (1783 – 1817) and Husband George W. Kiger (1782 – 1849)

Or, Subtitled: Military Careers Persisting Down Family Lines, as Families Scatter to Four Corners of the Earth

The last child of George Rice and Elizabeth Brooks, Rebecca (who was probably named for George Rice’s sister Rebecca Rice Connell), produced an interesting family with husband George W. Kiger, with sons who followed in the military footsteps of their grandfather George Rice, and who scattered to various places from Winchester, Virginia, where all were born. I’ve spent a great deal of time trying to track the children of George W. Kiger and Rebecca Rice, primarily because there are gaps and inconsistencies in what I can discover about this family, and I had hoped to fill those gaps and resolve the inconsistencies by researching t the entire family.
