Below is the family of James Robert Rivers. It is generally said he was born in Lexington SC; however, in one census he did give Richland Co. as his birth place. If anyone has more about the Rivers, Fike(s) or Crout families, I'd be happy to trade data. Below the family data is a collection of Rivers men of the era. I wish I knew more about them.
