RELIQUES OF THE RIVES
Henry Rives was born May 12, 1768, in Albemarle Parish, Sussex county, Virginia, and resided the last eighteen years of his life in Buckingham county, where he was a merchant at Ca Ira. Mr. Henry Rives was taken into partnership by his older brother, Robert Rives, in connection with the interests of the latter at Ca Ira. Here merchandise was sold, and tobacco bought or taken in exchange for goods for shipment to England, the trade in tobacco in this section being virtually a monopoly of the Rives brothers. An obituary notice of him in the Richmond Enquirer on October 26, 1824, states: "At his residence in the County of Buckingham, on Tuesday the 19th instant, Mr. Henry Rives for 18 years past a respectable merchant in Ca Ira. He was a tender and affectionate husband and parent, a kind and humane master, and a virtuous and respectable member of society." His wife wrote him : "He was to me indeed a husband. To our dear children he was indeed a father. The afflictive dispensation is indeed a bitter one to my heart but blessed be the God of mercy that it is mingled with the sweetest consolation,—an assurance that my loss has been his eternal gain."
Henry Rives married December 20, 1810, Ann Anderson Allen, born 1786, daughter of Benjamin Allen, born 1746 (by his wife Elizabeth Austin, of Hanover county, Virginia), son of James Allen, born 1699, died 1773 (by his wife Anne Anderson), of New Kent and Hanover counties, son of Daniel Allen, who owned 250 acres of land in New Kent in 1704 (by his wife Rebecca Richardson), the only son of James Allen, an early settler at Jamestown, who married a Miss Tucker at an advanced age.
