Children of Rebecca Rice (1783 – 1817) and Husband George W. Kiger (1782 – 1849) of Frederick County, Virginia

Letter of George Rice Kiger accepting commission as 2nd lieutenant, Voltigeurs Company, Grand Gulf, Mississippi, 6 April 1847, in NARA, Letters Received by the Office of the Adjutant General Main Series 1822-1860, John H. King file, RG 94 M567, digitized at Fold3

Or, Subtitled: Frontier Rangers, Mexican-War Soldiers, Texas Revolutionaries, and Loyal Unionists

As the previous posting ends by telling you, Rebecca Rice and George W. Kiger had the following children: Edwin Rice, George Rice, Mary Elizabeth, Daniel Jacob, and perhaps (more on the “perhaps” below) John Patrick, all with surname Kiger. As the posting I’ve just linked also states, George appears to have had a daughter prior to his marriage to Rebecca Rice whose name is given in the will of Rebecca’s mother as Emilia Luca Ried, and who appears in other documents as Emeline Lucia Kiger.
