Joseph Koger Risher as Captain James Koger Risher. On page 280 is a group photograph of Confederate veterans taken at Bamberg, SC in which he is correctly identifed as Joseph K. Risher. Both pictures had been given to the author by Otto Warren of Orangeburg, Otto Warren is J. Otto Warren, Jr. a great grandson of the captain. There is some confusion about the captain. Some people credit his uncle Joseph Koger Risher (1807-1868) with the captain's Confederate service. Some indciate the captain was the son of the older man. Captain Joseph Koger Risher, CSA was the son of Francis Fontaine Risher and Harriett Williams Risher. Francis and Harriett were first cousins. After the death of Francis, Harriett Williams Risher married George Warren. Her grave in the Warren-Key Cemetery on the edge of Williams, SC simply identies her as Harriett A. Warren. Otto Warren, Sr. was a direct descendant of George Warren and Harriett Williams Risher Warren. Otto's wife was Sarah Kinsey. Sarah was a granddaugther of the captain and thus a direct descendant of Harriett and her first husband, Francis. Sarah Kinsey Warren wasa child of Dr. Charles Kinsey and his second wife Lula Risher. Lula was a daughter of Captain Risher. So all of Dr. Kinsey's children born in his second marriage were grandchildren of Captain Joseph Koger Risher. Dr.. Charles Kinsey was first married to Ella Havillah Williams, daughter of Henry Allen Williams and Martha Anne Risher Williams. Ella's grandfather was Joseph Koger Risher (1807-1868), the captain's uncle. The children born druing Dr. Charles Kinsey were the great grandchildren of the older J.K. Risher. So there was Dr. Kinsey with two groups of children. One group calling Joseph Koger Risher great grandfather and the other group refering to him as grandfather and they weren't talking about the same man. At one time I was under the impression that Capt. William Preston Appley was a son of David Clinton Appleby and Amelia Stokes. Apparently, Capt. William Preston Appleby was a son of James Preston Appleby and his first wife. James' second wife was Eleanor Stokes. Sarah O. Appleby, wife of Richard Risher, Jr. apparently was a child of David Clinton Appleby and Amelai Stokes. Amelia being a sister of William Stokes.
