Lovisa Rice married Benjamin F. Sheldon on January 22, 1815. Together, they had 7 children: (1) Nelson (b/d infancy 1816 in NY), (2) Sylphina (1817 - abt 1901) m. Bradley B. Woodmansee, (3) George W. (1819 - 1897) m. Jane Lawrence (died in Eaton County, MI), (4) Benjamin (Jr.) (1821 - 1897) m. Lucy C. White, (5) Ann Susan (1824 - 1862) m. Giles P. Ripley (died in Kalamo Twp., Eaton County, MI), (6) David F. (1829 - 1913) m. Adaline Crandall (died Walton Twp., Eaton County, MI, author's gg-grandparents), and (7) James (1831 - 1903) who married Adeline West (resided in Wellington, Ohio).
While Benjamin is recognized by the Sheldon Family Association as SFA No. S6161, Lovisa's parents and extended family continue to be one of the largest "brick walls" of our genealogical research. There were two Rice families in area of Delaware County, New York, at that time, a Henry and a Solomon Rice, during the 1820 US Census period. Although Solomon seems the likely candidate, it is doubtful by comparison with a partial record of his will.
A large volume detailing the Descendants of Edmund Rice was also researched with no connection to either this Solomon or Lovisa in the index.
By the way, it's interesting to see my photo of the Cemetery sign make a full circle... copied by others and through other genealogical related sites --it's OK, just happy it's being used to promote free genealogy. I took the sign photo in November, 2004. Also I'm giving credit to cousin Brian Wilbert for taking the headstone photo in about 1999. Thanks Brian.
