Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Owen Rice Christian, Scholar and Patriot: A Genealogical, Biographical and Historical Memoir Owen Rice (5th), the subject of this memoir, wa on the paternal side descended from ancient Welsh ancestry. Sir Elider Dhu, of the time of Richard the First (1157-1199), was the direct ancestor of the Rice family of Killymaenftwyd, County Carmarthen, Wales. Lord Rhys (Rice) built part of the castle of Dinevor and from this castle called his men to meet the Normans. He called this castle his own, when he confounded the Normans in their council and compelled them to yield him the title of Lord of South Wales. From Dinevor, Gruffyd ap Rhys went forth to slay the three thousand Flemings and French. Later came Sir Rice ap Thomas, who joined his forces of three thousand men, comprising the flower and chivalry of South Wales, with those of the Earl of Richmond, and won the Battle of Bosworth (1485) in which Richard the Third was slain and which terminated the "War of the Roses." He was knighted on the field of battle, and the splendid estate which belonged to the princes of South Wales was bestowed upon him. Besides these honors he was made Lieutenant of Wales and the Lord of Narberth. His great-great-grandfather, the immigrant ancestor, Rev. Owen Rice (1st) of Haverford West, Wales, came to America with the "First Sea Congregation" of Moravians and landed in Philadelphia June, 1742. He was an itinerant English preacher in Philadelphia (1742), Bethlehem, Pa. (1744), in the Swedish settlements on the Delaware River in New Jersey (1746), Bethlehem (1747), was ordained in 1748, and was the first settled Moravian pastor in New York City (1750-54).
