Notes

a.

Note: Asaph's mother died when he was a young boy. Asaph's father married Sarah Harrington and moved the family to the wilds of Michigan. The country was wild, it was wooded and suffered cold winters. The wolves and Indians were constant terrors. Ira and his sons learned to be great bear hunters. Asaph slept under the hide of many a bear he or his father killed. In 1829 the Ira Rice family was located in Michigan. They were next found in Nauvoo, Illinois. Asaph, his brother Bill and his Father were the first to cross the Mississippi River in the winter of 1846. He landed in the Salt Lake Valley in September 1847. The Rices were sent to Farmington which extended to North Ogden at that time. Soon after Asaph married his 2nd wife Mary, he and Louisa and Mary all moved to what is now North Ogden. Rice creek in North Ogden is named after Ira and Asaph Rice.
They then moved to Cache County, Utah in 1857.
Ira and Asaph Rice, with a few other families settled at Beaver Dam, now in the state of Arizona. In a journal of William E. Jones, on Dec. 23rd, 1867, flood waters came down the Beaver Dam wash and raised to the top of its banks. The next day the bank where the homes stood began to cave in. The Rices were left homeless.
