"Robert Archer... opened his cabin home for the first observance of the Lord's Supper in [Princeton] in 1813..."
"During his third visit [Rev. John Kell, from Chester, South Carolina, a young minister of the Reformed Presbyterian (Covenanter) Church], in the autumn of 1813, the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was observed, for the first time, at the residence of Robert Archer (a Revolutionary soldier and the father of Thomas Archer), who lived one mile north of the present city of Princeton and immediately west of the Archer Cemetery. On this occasion there were about twenty members present, a number of families having removed to this locality, casting in their lot with this small but substantial society."

In 1767, the family received approximately 450 acres of land along Rocky Creek in South Carolina. A transcription of the 1767 land grant petition records identify by name seven “Archier” (sic) petitioners: William (350 acres), Robert (100 acres), Isabella, Rose, Ann, Mary, and another Isabella. William’s 1794 will mentions his wife Isbel, his son Robert, plus Buckner Hagewood (sic), John Peden, and William Peden. It is speculated that Hagewood and the two Pedens were mentioned as co-equal heirs with Robert because they were married to William’s daughters.
