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.

There are quite a few Rice's in Union County, near Spartanburg, and also Anderson County, a bit farther to the west. You might start looking there--I'm looking into my own Rice family in that area, so if I find an Ervin Foster Rice I'll let you know... I have found familysearch.org very helpful--not so much the "search" template, but go to the bottom of the search page and click on United States and it takes you to a list of states with their databases that you can browse--time consuming and sometimes hard to navigate, but if you have some time, it's very interesting.
