Misc. Notes
SAMUEL BRICE [1]

From an old paper in the Shane Collection we learn that Samuel Brice was an elder in the Paris Church in 1804. He was born January 6, 1743 in Harford County, Maryland. He served in Pennsylvania in the Revolutionary War. In 1812 he bought land adjoining the Jacoby family. One of his daughters, Rachel, who was born in 1780 married James Stark. The Stark home is now owned by Mrs. William Meteer near Hutchinson Station, not far from Hopewell Church.

From that farm the Stark children took the slips of favorite fruit trees when they moved to Missouri, thus making the foundation for the huge Stark Nursery, famous throughout America.

Samuel Brice's name is on the tablet, in the Bourbon County Court House, dedicated to the soldiers who served in the Revolutionary War. Samuel Brice's estate was settled in Montgomery County, Kentucky.

Samuel L. Brice and wife, Rebecca, were members of Hopewell Church in 1810.
