Excerpt from Descendants of Joseph Rice of Conway, Massachusetts
It may be interesting to note, in this brief biographical sketch of Joseph Rice, some of the conditions of the times in which he lived. At the time of his birth, in 1745, the country now known as the United States of America was in the possession of the English, the French, and the Spanish. England held the territory along the Atlantic border, excluding Florida; the whole West from Quebec to the Mississippi and New Orleans belonged to France; and Florida was in possession of Spain.
