Researcher's Notes

Disambiguation: Frederick Rivers, son of Son of William Rivers and Temple (Dempsey) Rivers, of England is not the same Frederick Rivers, born in 1739, in Craven county, South Carolina and died in 1810, in Cheraws District (Chesterfield county) South Carolina. He married Sarah Purvis. These two profiles were merged together on February 4, 2019. Rivers-1618 was the original profile for the duplicate profile.

Both Fredericks, who died ten years apart in Chesterfield, South Carolina, had a son named Frederick. THIS Frederick's son married Sarah Ann Hurst Rivers
