FRIERSON, Samuel, 15 Dec 1765 - 9 Jul 1815. Revolutionary War. He was a planter and an elder in the Zion church, ordained by Bethel Presbyterian Church, Kingstree S. C. before 1806. He with his family and other family members move from South Carolina to Maury County, Tennessee, in the spring of 1806. Both he and his wife died in Maury County Tennessee near Columbia and both are buried in the Zion Presbyterian Chruch Cemetery, the church they and other relatives organized and built in 1807--even before they built their own homes.
