Sounds like the names you mentioned are of the Reverend Silas Risher's line. Silas was a Baptist minister who arrived in Colleton County, SC in the 1830's and is buried at Doctors Creek Baptist Church. He was married to Sylvia[Sibbie] Crosby. One of their children was Tyler Risher who married Adella Jordan. They had a son Ira. One of the people most knowledgable about Silas' line is Dr. David Hiott who resides in Walterboro, SC. and who probably can give you more accurate information about Silas Risher and his line than myself. Dr.Hiott has made several postings on this forum.

I am descended from Benjamin Risher, Sr's line. Benjamin Risher was a veteran of the American Revolution who settled in Colleton County at the end of the war. Benjamin Risher came to SC from the area of New Bern, NC. Not sure if Benjamin Risher and Silas Risher were related.
