 | | The appraisement of the James Rice estate was done on October 30, 1817, and it was "returned and ordered to be recorded" on May 12, 1818, "at a court continued and held for Loudoun County". |
 | | On October 7, 1825, James Rice sold his one hundred and twenty-six and a quarter acres of land "being The half of the whole tract purchased by Jesse, James and Sampson Rice" to Robert Bywaters of Culpeper County. |
 | | After the sale of this Culpeper County acreage by Sam0pson and Elizabeth Rice, it is my belief that this young couple with their family departed the state of Virginia to head west, first into the state of Ohio and the ultimately to end up in the state of Indiana. |
