Richard Pearis (1725 – 1794) was an Indian trader, a pioneer settler of Upstate South Carolina, and a Loyalist officer during the American Revolution. ==Early life== Richard Pearis was born in Ireland in 1725, the son of George and Sarah Pearis, who were Presbyterians of considerable affluence.〔Beverly Thompson Whitmire, "Richard Pearis, Bold Pioneer," ''Proceedings and Papers of the Greenville County Historical Society, 1962-1964'',1 (1965),75-85 at 76. "Judging from the number of petticoats and bonnets listed in the inventory of her estate, she must have been quite a lady." Whitmire's address has no citations, but she says, amusingly, that "anything I tell you, you can count on being true. The facts have been gathered from manuscripts and public records, and I have believed nothing I have read from books until other sources also said it was true."〕 The family immigrated to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia when Richard was ten, and by 1750, Richard owned of land near Winchester, where he lived with his wife Rhoda and three children.〔Whitemire, 76; Archie Vernon Huff, Jr., ''Greenville: The History of the City and County in the South Carolina Piedmont'' (Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 1995), 13.〕
