[33198] Edwin m. Saddie Summerfield (b. 1 June 1902, d. in Aug 1963) with whom he had about ten children. This line requires further research!
Note: Christina Straub states Zachariah d. in Church Hill, Turbett Twp., Juniata Co., PA.
For a detailed and illustrated account of Zachariah and his family see "A Rice Family History: 1731-2021," Steven Carl Rice (Floral Park, NJ - privately published - ISBN: 978-0-578-95110-2).
Zachariah r. Chester Springs, Chester Co., PA before moving to Juniata Co., PA. He came to American 16 Sept 1751 in the ship Edinburgh. Nancy Stockton's file in Ancestry World Tree states that Zachariah owned a tavern in Pikeland, Chester Co., PA and a farm of 205-3/4 acres - the farm was lost in the Hoare financial failure in 1789, and Zachariah (having lost his farm and his wife) moved to Milford Twp., Juniata Co., PA in 1790 with his seventeen children. Zachariah served in the War for Independence and is a qualified ancestor for DAR and SAR membership. Another file in AWT states that he built the mill along the banks of Pickering Creek on what is Clover Mill Road off PA 113 (the mill was standing in 2002), and that in both Pikeland Twp., Chester Co. and in Loysville, PA (now Perry Co.) he built Lutheran Churches. "The Perry Review, Vol. 30 - 2009" (Newport, PA: The Perry Historians), pp. 51-52, presents photos of the spring house he or his son, Zachariah, built in Perry Co., PA. See also "Straubs, Smiths and Extended Family" on http://wc.rootsweb.com by Christina Straub which offers the following paragraphs:
John, Peter, George, Sallie, and Susannah Rice are also buried in the Church Hill Cemetery in Juniata County. Margaret and Jacob Rice are interred at the Loysville Cemetery; Conrad Rice in the Buffalo Cemetery; and Zachariah Rice II is buried in Landisburg, all in Perry County, PA.
Zachariah Rice (Reiss) was born in Bavaria, Germany in 1731. He came to the United States on the ship Edinburgh, and docked in Philadelphia on September 16, 1751. He settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania, near the town of Yellow Springs. In 1757 Zachariah married Marie Appolonia "Abigail" Hartman. Abigail was born in Wurttemburgh, Germany on September 4, 1742, the daughter of Johannes and Margaret Hartman. She was 15 years old when she married Zachariah and he was 11 years older then she was. Abigail's father, Johannes Hartman, gave the newlyweds a two-hundred acre parcel of farmland, on which they built their home. Zachariah was a millwright by trade and built the first Clover Mill in the United States. During their marriage of 33 years, Zachariah and Abigail had twenty-one children, seventeen of whom survived to adulthood. Abigail is buried at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Chester County, Zachariah is buried in Juniata County, Pennsylvania. Note: During the American Revolution Zachariah Rice enlisted in the Continental Army as an engineer and carpenter, under the command of General George Washington. He helped build the Yellow Springs Hospital near his home in Chester County, which would soon be used as a field hospital for the casualties of the war. His wife, Abigail, became a recurrent visitor to the hospital, spending much of her time ministering to the sick and wounded soldiers. As a result of her devotion to help the suffering, she contracted typhus, which would later cause her untimely death. On September 11, 1777, Washington encountered General William Howe's army at the Battle of Brandywine. As the battle ensued and the casualties mounted, Washington soon realized that he was hopelessly outnumbered and poorly supplied to resume the fight. He wisely decided to withdraw, saving his men to "fight another day". During his retreat, Washington and his staff officers stopped at the Rice farm and asked Abigail if they could have some water. She sent one of her daughters to retrieve a pitcher of water from their well, to which she added some sugar, spices, and rum, making a drink that was popularly known as "flip". Abigail handed the drink to him and said, "Here, my Lord." Washington quickly replied, "We have no titles here, we are all brothers." As General Washington drank this beverage, Abigail's five-year-old daughter, Susannah, approached him. Washington smiled, picked her up, and sat her on his knee while he finished his drink. For Abigail's contributions during the war, there was a chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in her name in Washington, DC. There is also a plaque in her honor in the Bell Tower at Valley Forge. After the war, the Rices continued to farm their land and raise their family. Then, in 1789, Zachariah was struck with two overwhelming blows. The first was the death of his beloved wife, Abigail. She had succumbed to the typhus that she contracted during the war. She was buried at St. Peter's Church in Chester County. Shortly thereafter, Zachariah lost his land, along with 114 other families in Pikeland Township.The Pikeland Land Foreclosure of 1789 - The Pikeland property was originally patented by William Penn in 1681, and, following a succession of owners, was eventually acquired by Samuel Hoare, a London merchant. Hoare purchased the tract in 1750, which he financed through a London mortgage company. He later conveyed a portion of it, about 17,000 acres, to Andrew Allen, a prominent Philadelphia merchant and a member of the Continental Congress. Allen's mortgage was carried by Mr. Hoare. Allen then divided his portion of the property into two and three-hundred acre parcels, which he, in turn, sold to the German immigrants. Because of his respected standing in the community, the immigrants did not question his integrity. Mr. Allen, however, kept the money he made from these transactions and defaulted on his payments to Hoare. The deeds that he gave to his buyers were worthless because they were never registered with the county land office. By this time, the Revolutionary War had begun. Andrew Allen then fled to Trenton, New Jersey, which had recently been captured by the British, and asked General Howe for protection. Because we were now at war with Britain, Hoare could take no legal action to recover his losses until the hostilities ended. After the war, civil courts were established, and Sheriff Ezekial Howard was given writs, dated August 26, 1789, to start foreclosure proceedings on the Hoare-Allen mortgage, and to begin the sale of the land. As a result of the foreclosure, Zachariah Rice, now nearly sixty years old, along with his seventeen children, five of whom were married, packed their belongings into wagons and began a journey west, to what is now Perry and Juniata Counties in central Pennsylvania. It was rumored that farmland was cheap there, and after losing almost everything, they had little choice. Soon after his arrival in Juniata County in 1790, Zachariah purchased some land from Laurence and Mary King for 1100 Pounds. He made his final payment on September 21, 1801, and thus received a clear title for his property, which was known as "Spring Mill", just outside of Port Royal, Pennsylvania. After establishing a new home for himself and his twelve dependent children, his next priority was a place of worship. Zachariah was a German Lutheran by faith, but there were no Lutheran churches in the area at that time. In order to provide a house of worship for his growing family and the other German settlers arriving from Chester County, Zachariah set aside one and a half acres of the highest section of his land, now called Church Hill, on which he built the first Lutheran Church in Juniata County. Rice's Church, a log building, was constructed sometime between 1794 and 1797. On January 1, 1803, the church and its land was sold to the trustees of the German Lutheran Congregation for sixteen dollars. A cemetery was also established on the property that year, with the first burial being that of a six-month-old child, Johann Daniel Kebner (or Kepner), in 1803. Zachariah Rice died on August 19, 1811, and was laid to rest in the Church Hill Cemetery, next to the church he built for his family and neighbors. The inscription on his tombstone, which still stands, is written in German. Translated to English, it reads: "When You will awaken the dead on that day, also give Your hand after we have arisen. Lord, speak Your answer kindly to me. Lift this transfigured body up to Thy throne."

A 2009 posting on Ancestry.com offers: "The modern winery at the old Rice homestead in Chester Co. on line. It is called Clover Mill Farm Vineyards & Winery. http://www.clovermillfarm.com/about.htm. At this location Zechariah built a grist mill for grinding grains such as corn and wheat to be used as animal feed and as flour in baking breads. Portions of the mill race can still be seen. Zechariah is credited with inventing a machine that would clean and sort clover seed. Subsequently, he adjusted his business to concentrate on preparing clover seed for surrounding farmers. Timothy seed would be planted in the Fall at the time the wheat was planted. Then the next Spring farmers would broadcast clover seed over their wheat fields. In the following summer these fields would produce a mixed timothy-and-clover hay. It was important to broadcast clean, healthy clover grains to produce quality hay. The Rice clover mill was a great labor saver in the process of cleaning and sorting the tiny grains of clover seed."
The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Volume 65, page 182 (DAR ID Number: 64519): Zachariah Rice (1731-1811), a patriot, who did much work for the government during the Revolutionary War, and assisted in building the hospital at 'Yellow Springs,' Chester County. He was born in Germany; died in Pennsylvania. {Late in the war, Zachariah also fought in Captain Eyric's company.}
See "Records of the Annual Hench and Dromgold Reunion...," Lelia Dromgold Emig, Ed. (Harrisburg, PA: The United Evangelical Press, 1913), pp.78ff. for an extended description of "Zachary" and his life and family. His Bible is held by the Chester County (PA) Historical Society.
Nelson R. Sulouff posted 9 July 2007 on http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.perry: "As an outgrowth of their concentrated work preparing for the nation's bi-centennial, the Old Church Hill Cemetery Association of Port Royal, Pa., published a booklet on the Cemetery. It is not dated, but it contains the names of Association officers for 1981-1982, so its publication was about 1982. It contains a brief history of the Cemetery and a transcription of all gravestone inscriptions that were legible at the time of the Association's restorative efforts in connection with the Bi-centennial.
"The historical sketch in this booklet states the Old Church Hill (OCH) Cemetery is located a mile south of Port Royal on the east side of Rt. 75. It states Zachariah Rice had built the OCH log building for worship on the highest point of his farmland sometime prior to 1797. It also states, 'Early histories date the construction of Rice's Church as immediately following that of Lebanon Church in Loysville, Perry County. Lebanon Church was built in 1794. Zachariah Rice is credited with doing much of the work in the construction of both churches.'
"Zachariah Rice also had furnished one and one half acres for burial grounds surrounding the log church building erected on his farm. On 1 January 1803 he sold his entire farm to his son, Jacob, except for the acreage reserved for the Church property. Prior to the date Zachariah sold his farm, plans had been made to separate the Church land from his farm: a survey of the Church's one and one half acres had been completed by John Harris on 12 May 1802. The Lutherans worshipping at OCH, who had been 'meeting for worship' in the log church building for over five years, never had organized themselves into a formal congregational until 1802."

"The Flickinger Family History," Robert Elliott Flickinger (Des Moines, IA: Success Composition and Printing Co., 1927), pp. 304ff. presents details about Zachariah and many of his descendants. Zachariah is listed in East Nantmeal Twp., Chester Co., PA in the 1800 federal census. Also see "Pastfinder, Vol. 2, No. 1," (Ashland, OH: Jan 1983) and "Pennsylvania Traveler-post, Vol. 1, No. 3" (Newtown PA: Mildred Williams POB 776 Newtown, PA 18940 - May 1965).
Ancestry.com suggests the meaning of the surname: "German [Rice = Reis]: from Middle High German ris undergrowth, brushwood; a topographic name for someone who lived in an overgrown area, or a habitational name from Reis or Reissen in Bavaria, named with this word. German: occupational name for a cobbler, Middle High German riuze. Compare Reuss. German: variant of Reiss 2, or from the Huguenot name Ris. Altered spelling of German Ries."
