Rikard (and various spellings) - Ramona McManus

Some info I have states that members of My Rikard family (William and 
Peter......sons of Thomas) were listed among men at the Congaree Store 
fighting in the war against the Cherokees in 1759.

This info also states that Peter Reicert was a loyalist who was killed while 
fighting in the Revolutionary War. He left a widow, Elizabeth.

Also listed as fighting in the Rev War were Michael Rikard in Water's 
Regiment and John Rikard under various commanders.

My Rikards settled in Newberry Co., SC prior to migrating to Franklin Co., 
AL in the 1830's.

Does anyone have any info on these Rikard's? Are there lists available for 
Water's Brigade and other Rev War regiments? Are there pension records or 
death records for the Rev War? What is Congaree Store?

As you can tell, I am still fairly new to genealogy. Any help would be 
appreciated.
