Sources:
* Bible of Samuel Russell RICE (?? Jr ??).
* Frank RAFFEL, family historian.

Notes:
* STRATTON family, including Sarah, consisted of the following siblings: William, John, Edward, Martha, RIchard, Sarah, and Peter
* Samuel RICE at "Rice Cove" in Bayou Bouef, near Morgan City LA, by Sep 1803. After the death of Samuel [b.1744-d.1813] the family moved to "Rice Island" in St Mary's Parish. This location was near Avery Island.
* The mother of Samuel R. RICE, b. 1744, has been thought to be a RUSSELL, but to date... NO connection to any RUSSELL has ever been found, and the RUSSELL Researchers... firmly deny this possibility.
* The ONLY link to a RUSSELL, that has been found, was the purchase of 133 ac's of land Dec 1772 from Daniel & Jemima RUSSELL by Samuel & Agnes.
* I have also found Henry STRATTON m. 15 Oct 1800, Sally RUSSELL. This young man was a nephew of Sarah (STRATTON) RICE. This may be the connection and over the years of re-telling... possibly Levi Stratton RICE got it confused. I have found several other places in his writing of the "Our Forefathers", where surnames were swapped about, but the rest of his 'memory' was just fine.
* Susannah WATKINS proven NOT one of the Sarah [WATKINS] CAMPBELL line
