His existence is known here from the inscription on Phoebe Beaver's gravestone (from the History and Genealogy of the Bieber, Beaver, Biever, Beeber Family, by the Reverend Irvin M. Beaver (Reading, Pennsylvania; 1939), page 531). His relationship to James Rice who married Barbara Strickler is unknown to me at this time. However, I have been in contact with a couple Rice family historians and the history of the family in the area is significantly obscure.
