Research Notes:

In 1850 Louisa, age 47, and her husband Simeon were living with Sally Harrington, age 83 - possibly the mother of Louisa.

In support of this, widow Sally Rice of Brookfield married Abijah Harrington in Princeton on 10 Nov 1818.¹

Sally Harrington, aged 87 years 6 months 10 days, born in Brookfield, parents not given, died in Charlton on 10 April 1853.² By calculation, her birth date was 31 Sep 1765. Her likely marriage date was around 1785, probably also in Brookfield.

A Sally Bigelow married Simon Rice 1 Jan 1786 in Brookfield. The couple lived in Sturbridge, and had a child Louisa Rice born there 25 Aug 1802, closely matching her age in the 1850 census.

Sally Harrington's Find A Grave photo in Podunk Cemetery, East Brookfield, shares a gravestone with her mother, Rebecca Bigelow, who died 29 Jan 1833, aged 89.³

Based on the gravestone inscription, Louisa's mother was likely Sally (Bigelow) Harrington, rendering it highly likely that her father was Simon Rice.

Simon Rice died 6 Oct 1811 in Sturbridge, and is probably the man buried in South Warren Cemetery, FAG 5587910. He was living in Sturbridge when he wrote his will on 20 Apr 1811, approved on 3 Mar 1812. The legatees were his mother, Deborah Scott, widow of Benjamin Scott deceased, his wife Sally Rice, his sons Asa Rice, Baselor? Rice, Cheney [Olney?] Rice, Jonas Rice, and his daughters Sally Rice, Deborah Rice, Bathsheba Rice Sophia Rice, Louisa Rice, and Mary RIce. He appointed Moses Bemis of Brookfield sale executor.⁴
