Billie:
I thought I had checked all the books I got for the name Rice and Owens. However, I went back to check and had left out a lot. Here's what I found for Rice:

Note: where "orig only" appears, it means that indicates that the will was not recorded either because it was not authentic, or the probate was never completed because of the low value of the estate. Where "c" appears before a date, that is the date the will was originally signed because the probate date could not be established.
