I am looking for descendants of Asa Myers & Rachel Orsborn Rice married in July 1846 in Jefferson Co. Rachel was a widow who had been married to a S. Rice & had a son George. Rachel was a daughter of James & Nancy Orsborn. I know nothing of Asa except he was born in IL. Geo. Rice served in the Civil War. Asa & Rachel migrated to Lincoln Co. KS in the late 1870's(they appear in the 1880 census in KS). Two
of their children migrated with them-Sophornia & Irvin. Another son followed them-David who with family appears in the 1885 census & also moved to OK. Irvin married a KS girl & later migrated to OK. Sophronia married a Gene Doggett in 1890 & returned to the Doggett family farm in Keokuk Co. Sophronia died ca in 1897 there. George Rice also came to KS & appears in the 1885 KS census. I know they had other children, but I can't find their names. Sometime in the early 1890's Asa & Rachel along with George Rice to NE. Where Ilost them. Thank you.
