daughter of Rev. John Brice, who died Aug., 26, 1811, aged 51 years, and in the
22 year of his ministry.  He was a self-made man in the best sense of the word,
having pursued his studies when a boy under the discouraging restraints of
poverty, and having advanced upon his merits.  Aug. 16, 1786, he appeared
before the Presbytery of Redstone, and asked to be taken on trial in order to
his being licensed to preach.  April 16, 1788, "Presbytery having received
sufficient testimonitals in favor of his having gone through a regular course
in literature, of his ggod moral character, and of his being in the communion
of the church, etc., having given satisfaction as to his accomplishments and
experimental acquaintance with religion, and as to his proficiency, etc., in
divinity, did license him to preach as a probationer for the holy ministry
wherever he might be orderly called."  April 22, 1789, a call was received by
him from the united congregations of Three Ridges and Forks of Wheeling, and at
the meeting of Presbytery Mary 25, 1780, he declared his acceptance of the
same.  He was ordained at Three Ridges in April 1790.  After leaving this
charge he removed to his farm in VA, where he spent his remaining years. While
there he organized the church at Unity, Greene Co., PA.  His first wife,
Rebecca Carr, a woman noted for her piety, died in 1794, leaving 2 children, -
JAMES and JANE who married John McCoy.
     By his 2nd wife, Jane Stockton, he had 9 children - MARY, who married Dixon
