Rice family.
In May of 1773, John Rice (ca. 1751-1801) of Tooting, London, eloped with Frances Plumbe (1758-1790), aged fifteen. Despite the outrage of Frances's parents, the marriage was supported by John's father Morgan Rice (High Sheriff of Surrey), and by Frances's aunt Hester Lynch Thrale (1741-1821). The young couple traveled in Europe until a financial settlement was arrived at between the parents. Meanwhile, Mrs. Thrale served as a liaison in England. John and Frances Rice soon settled in Chislehurst, England, and had thirteen children before Frances's early death.
