This is great "stuff" - you certainly had a fruitful trip to South Carolina! I'm green with envy! I heard recently from Beverly Crawford, who is descended from Rebecca Octavia Risher. Here's the information she sent me, and I confirmed the burials in the Providence Cemetery. Octavia Rebecca Black, b. June 10, 1871; d. Aug. 8, 1900 - "Mother" - buried at Providence Cemetery. Woodrow Washington Black (Beverly has a document listing him as "Andrew"), b. Feb. 8, 1863; d. June 14, 1890 - "Father" - buried at Providence Octavia Rebecca Risher was married first to Mr. Black, and had one son, Herbert Octavious Black (Beverly's great grandfather), b. Jan. 19, 1888 in Colleton Co; d. Dec. 19, 1947 in Waco TX. She then married Frank B. Moore (although she was buried as "Black"). Frank B. Moore, Jr. is buried in her plot at Providence. He was b. Aug. 27, 1898; d. July 25, 1936. According to Beverly, Pauline Victoria Risher probably died in Florida (I don't know if it's her grave or just a marker at Providence). She married Benjamin Smallwood Teppe, b. about 1866 in SC. They had two children: Betha, b. 1891in SC, and Benjamin Smallwood Teppe, b. 1894 in SC. Pauline V. Risher Teppe raised Herbert Black after the death of his mother.
