Walter,
I read your posting of December 22, 2003, and see also that you have later postings regarding the Rivers family.
Following the information in the WW Rivers typed booklet, I trace my Rivers lineage (VA-NC-MS) as follows:
Pierre Rivers
Robert Rivers b.1703
Richard Rivers b.1725
Richard Rivers b.1745
William Rivers b.1766
Richard Rivers b.1802
Joel Lewis Rivers b.1828
Louis Napolean Rivers b.1863
Clyde Everett Rivers b.1886 (brother of Clara Rivers Griffith)
Lee Dickson Rivers b.1919 (brother of Josephine Rivers Cox)
Nancy Rivers Hunley b.1947
From your 2003 request, I can provide you with a little information. In May of this year I had an opportunity to spend a few hours in Richmond, Virginia, area. At the Huguenot Society headquarters in Midlothian, I did see applications 66 and 88; portions of information regarding live persons may not be copied. I obtained a copy of pages from the Brock book indicating the passenger list of the Peter and Anthony. Pierre River’s last name is misspelled. Also, I have a copy of the Brock book pages where the Huguenots in Manakin Town were petitioning the Governor of Virginia. It is signed by Pierre Rivers (spelled correctly). I also went to the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond and obtained some information from the Deeds and Wills indexes for Brunswick Co. and a couple of items from Sussex Co before time ran out.
By deed of gift, 26Apr1756, Robert Rivers and his wife Hannah of Bath Parish in Dinwiddie Co gave 250 acres to their son Robert of St Andrew Parish in Brunswick Co, VA. John Rivers witnessed the deed.
In MY RIVERS ANCESTRY by Whit Morris in 1934, he states that Pierre and Jeanne had sons Clude and Robert, but does not mention Thomas.
Have you been able to obtain information?
Nancy Rivers Hunley
