> Wouldn't we love to know if Edmond is Rice?
Sandy, I hope we can figure it out. But consider these things:
The only data we have for Rice is the 1800 census. No DNA, no nuttin.
For Edmond, we have an exact DNA match and he appears on a record with
Luke Burnett, who is probably his brother-in-law, in South Carolina. In
other words, I think we have more data that Edmond goes with the family we
have for Rice.
