Rice Families

I am researching the family of Ervin Foster Rice from NC. Born on 06 December 1827 in NC and moved to Calhoun County Alabama by 1850. He married Louisa Jane King who was born in Spartanburg County, SC which leads me to wonder if he either lived on an adjoining county or moved into SC. He just appears suddenly in Calhoun County Alabama and marries Louisa on 28 December 1851.
