Biography

Isaac Rivers was born in 1765, in South Carolina, a son of Frederick Rivers (1739-1810) and Mary Boatwright. Isaac married Nancy Parker. ^[1]

Isaac is found on the First Census of the United States, taken in 1790. He is living in St Thomas Parish, Cheraws District, South Carolina. ^[2] Chesterfield County was established in 1785 when the state legislature divided the Cheraws Judicial District into three counties.

Isaac died in 1843, in Chesterfield county, South Carolina and is buried in the Hurst Cemetery. There is a photograph of his headstone on his memorial. ^[3]

Researchers Notes

Isaac's Find A Grave memorial gives his parents as Frederick Rivers and Sarah Purvis, however this is not correct. Due to the combination of two Frederick Rivers, both Revolutionary War veterans, who resided in Chesterfield County, the two WikiTree profiles were erroneously merged. See researcher's notes for Isaac's father.

The Find A Grave memorial for Frederick Rivers, who married Sarah Ann Hurst is linked to Isaac's Find A Grave memorial, as his son. This does not agree with the Daughters of the American Revolution Records, which indicates that Frederick is the son of Frederick Rivers was born in 1740, in England, and therefore, Isaac's brother and not his son.
