Jacob and Susanna owned a few properties in the Ellerton area of the upper valley and chose one to be the "Home Farm" the property was a 9-1/2 acre tract of land called "Shady Grove" and remained in the pocession of the Rice and Green Family for three or four generations.
Jacob and Susanna left it to their only surviving daughter, Sarah Rice Green wife of Samuel Green of the Upper Valley and before Sarah's death she transfered it to her son Mahlon Benjamin Green.
Although there is no proof that Jacob and Susanna are buried at Church Hill, son-in-law Samuel Green's obituary says that he is buried there.
I have not found markers for many of the ones believed to had contacted tyhpoid and died during the typhoid epidemic of 1857-58.
For Christian purposes I place Jacob, Susanna, Sarah Rice Green with her husband here at Saint Johns of Church Hill whom I believe to be here anyway.
Jacob was survived by his wife Susanna and daughter Sarah and husband Samuel. Jacob and Susanna's other daughter Catherine Rice Wastler died in the typhoid epidemic also at about the same time as her father Jacob Rice.
Jacob was a brother to two brothers that predeceased him, one presently unknown and Gorg buried at St. Johns, Church Hill. John Rice, who perished in the Typhoid epidemic, Henry Rice and wife Betsy Warstler Rice, also of the feaver, and sister, Miss, "Sofee", Sophia Rice of Ellerton.
