History

John Rice moved from Caswell County, North Carolina, and in about 1796 purchased 214 acres of land for $214.00 from Andrew Jackson. This cabin was built about that same year. Tax records showed that John Rice Sr., John Rice Jr., Benjamin Dobson, and John Kirkpatrick were the first settlers in the Gladeville, Suggs Creek area of Wilson County. John Rice's descendants lived and worked on the land continuously until the death of his great-great-great-granddaughter, Christine Rice Robinson, in 2005.
