ALTERNATE SPELLINGS OF THE RICE SURNAME

Alternate Spellings of the Rice Surname (EDITOR'S NOTE: It should not be implied that everyone who bears the surnames below is automatically a Rice descendant. This is not the case. However, these are known variant spellings of the Rice surname. In most instances, your editor has chosen to label these people as Rice descendants only because there is evidence that they, or their descendants, indeed changed the variant spelling to Rice and ended up using that as their surname.
