Oh certainly not....Justin: My interest in John Rice Hughes is that the name chosen by Perrott after 1640 was the name and identity of his blood born Brother Captain John Rice, also born at about 1600. My inquiry to them was simply to ask if they had record of John Rice Hughes in the family? As a point of departure....I had no infor other than their status as Curator and that sometimes means there is a blood connection is all. The hughes name is significat to the Rices since they married into the Hughes family and a Hughes was Drawn and Quartered as the best man of Griffeth ap Gruffed ap Rhys ap Thomas in the plot to overthrow Henry VIII. This man Hughes or Captin John Rice has the Griffeth Name in his ancestory as well as the Rhys ap Thomas line.....interesting NO? My family doccuments state that after homesteading in the Adirondacks in 1642 or thereabouts which was indian territory back then according to the letters we have and Ms. Erica....the family of Rice Huges sponsors a son of Perrott's born 1645 named Thomas in 1652....no location given meaning that the James River Location and nickitti the native woman in his company was the branch of the Family in America comeletely seperated from John Rice 1624 of Dedham Ma. The confluance of the story and OttEr lake near the trading post are COINCIDENTAL and of interest to me and what happened to the EXTRA john Rice as recorded by the ERA association that says neither one were related to EDMUND....not by blood at least....but as I've explained earlier...there family connection is far more deep than has been acknowledged....My inquiry was general in nature not specific....fyi DCR 1948
