164. Richard Augustus Rives 1, 2 (Robert Rives , Mary Pegram , Daniel , George ) was born in 1780 in probably Dinwiddie Co., Virginia. He died in 1819.
Rev. Richard Augustus Rives was an early member of the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Church; making his home on his farm in Dinwiddie county, Virginia, and serving churches as there was need. He is described as a man of great dignity and reserve, and maintained, after the customs of those times, an almost spartan discipline among his children. His son Richard, though only a lad of some twelve years when his father died, never dared take his seat in his father's presence until permission had been expressly given him.
Rev. Richard A. Rives evidently received one-fourth of his father's landed estate; for, in 1810, he paid taxes of $2.34 on 481 1/2 acres of land situated on the Rocky Run in Dinwiddie county; to which, there were added by acquisition, 473 1/4 acres in 1816 and 224 acres in 1817. His slave holdings of three negroes in 1802 had been increased to twelve before his death.
Richard married Ann Rivers 1 daughter of William Rivers and Sarah Neal in 1805 in Dinwiddie Co., Virginia. Ann was born about 1784 in Dinwiddie Co., Virginia. She died on 14 Nov 1844.
Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Ann (Rivers) Rives moved with her children to Fayette county, Tennessee. In her will she made bequests of "six green painted chairs" to her son William; to her son Richard, "all my part and interest in a [cotton] gin now on the plantation of said Richard Rives," as well as 170 acres of land. To her granddaughter, Ann Eliza Boisseau, she left her best bed, a curtain bedstead, a fourpost bed; while to her grandson, Richard Hardaway Rives, she left a clock, and to another grandson, Lycurgus Rives, $100.

171. Green (Buck) Rives 1, 2, 3, 4 (Unknown Son Rives , Mary Pegram , Daniel , George ) was born 5 on 14 Sep 1776 in Dinwiddie Co., Virginia. He died on 29 Jul 1859 in Lincoln Co., Tennessee.
This Green Rives is known to have been born in Dinwiddie Co., Virginia, in 1776 and to have resided there until 1826. In the Dinwiddie tax lists to which one turns for evidence of his father there is found during the years 1782 (the earliest year from which the tax lists date) to 1800 only the names of William Rives and Robert Rives son of William Rives. Thomas Henry Rives had already removed in 1782 to Mecklenburg Co., Virginia. Both Green Rives' first and second wife were daughters of Henry Hardaway, first cousin of Martha Peterson (Hardaway) Rives, wife of Robert Rives, presumptive uncle of Green Rives. Further, Green Rives followed Benjamin Rives, son of Robert Rives, to Lincoln Co., Tennessee, and the descendants of both Benjamin Rives and his sister, Clara (Rives) Gill, who also settled in Lincoln Co., claimed a closer relationship with Green Rives than would have existed if based only on the Hardaway connection.
Captain Green Rives was born in Dinwiddie Co., Virginia, and died July 29, 1859, in Lincoln Co., Tennessee. He appears in the Federal census for 1810 from Dinwiddie as the head of a family and the possessor of eight slaves. As early as 1804 he is recorded in the Dinwiddie tax lists--his name being conjoined with that of Henry Hardaway, his father-in-law - as the owner of four slaves, a number which had increased to eleven in 1826. In 1812 he is shown as the proprietor of 455 acres of land lying on Birches Road in Dinwiddie on which he paid taxes of $3.08. In 1820 he received 45 acres on the Turkey Egg Road from Thomas Rives, "atty. for Kunninghams," and on January 5, 1826, he deeded 168 acres owned by him in Sussex county to David Rowland.
Green Rives served as a captain in the local Dinwiddie county militia in 1810 and 1811; for, in the Dinwiddie tax lists for those years, he appears listed as "Capt. Green Rives." His home was on what is now known as the "Locust Grove Farm," near McKinney, Virginia, his neighbors being the Wells, Gills, Scotts, and the Rogers, some of whom became his neighbors later in Tennessee. The old home where Capt. Green Rives resided is gone, only the foundation stones and chimney remaining to mark the spot. One of his schoolmates was Winfield Scott and when, years afterwards in 1852, General Scott was a candidate for president, Green Rives, who was a zealous Whig, took an active part in the electioneering campaign in his locality and celebrated in great style when news was brought that Scott had carried Tennessee.
At the beginning of the 19th century there was a considerable movement of population from eastern Virginia to Tennessee, a movement particularly marked amongst Dinwiddie county families. Abram and Aaron Wells, brothers of Balaam Wells, of Dinwiddie, the Gills and the Rogers who had intermarried with the family of Green Rives' uncle, Robert Rives, and the family of Anthony Rives and his nephews (who had settled in Dinwiddie from Sussex) were amongst those who removed to Tennessee. Green Rives, presumably accompanied by some of these neighbors, moved "with a large wagon train and an overseer named Jolley" about the year 1828.
In October, 1906, there was published in the Fayetteville (Tenn.) Observer in a series of sketches entitled Pioneers of Lincoln Co., an account of Green Rives and his family by the Hon. John M. Bright, who represented Tennessee several terms in Congress, from which account the following is taken:
"Green Rives, born September 14, 1776, came from Petersburg, Va., in 1828, settled near Petersburg, Tenn., on the Griffith Leonard farm. He afterwards acquired a large farm of his own and lived on it many years, pursuing the honorable avocation of the farmer. From circumstances I infer that he belonged to a family of high descent and of the primitive Cavalier stock, who settled in Virginia at an early day. He was related to the distinguished statesman, Wm. C. Rives, and the popular authoress, Amelia [Amelie] Rives, of Virginia. His life was without striking vicissitudes or the display of great actions. He was a man of more than ordinary ability, strong attachments and devoted friendships. He perhaps was at one time an innocent victim of financial misfortune. The flush times and wild speculations and uncalculating ventures between 1836 and 1840, induced many incompetent young men to quit the fields and to embark in mercantile pursuits. Mr. Rives became the surety for one of his sons [John] and Norfleet Hays, who went into business under the firm name of Rives & Hays. At last the financial storm swept over the land and left a scene of desolation in its wake. A grim vision of bankruptcy struck Rives & Hays in the face, and sureties and endorsers saw a fearful reckoning with them. In 1842 (I think it was) I filed the petition in bankruptcy of Rives & Hays in the Federal Court at Nashville and had them discharged. But they left a large incumbency of debt which came on the shoulders of the elder Rives. Col. James Fulton received the security claimed against the old gentleman for collection, obtained judgments and had executions issued and levied on his property. He and Col. Fulton were mutual friends. Col. Fulton was the soul of generosity to a friend in need. On the day of sale he was present and bid in all the property and turned it over to the old man to keep and use and pay for it when he was able, except one old servant, Berry. It is my understanding that the old gentleman Rives recovered from the wreck of his fortune and accumulated enough for a comfortable support."
Green Rives is buried in a private graveyard on land later owned by Warren Gill, of Petersburg, Tennessee, alongside his third wife.
The 1850 Census of Marshall Co., Tennessee shows: Green Rives, age 74; William Rives, age 22; James M. Rives, age 18; Benj. W., age 14; Robert C.; age 12 and Susan E., age 10.

He is age 67 on 1850 census of Dinwiddie Co., VA. Apparently Edward Henry Pegram and his wife lived briefly in SC because the 1850 census of Dinwiddie Co., VA. shows that William Edward was born in SC while the other children show they were born in VA.
Notice of his death in local newspapers in 1856 say he was "Clerk of Centre Market" and was found dead in bed.

In 1850 she is found living with her daughter, Louisa Walkter Raymond and her family. Her birthdate on the 1850 Census appears to be wrong since she is given as age 63 but it is possible that it is correct since she would have been age 15 when she married.
