Scottish Hedrick ancestor

Surnames: Hedrick
I am seeking the last name of Peter Hedrick's wife, Susanna. They most likely migrated to MS from NC or SC in the early 1800s. The last name may have been spelled Headrick. They were the parents of John A. Hedrick, who was the father of John Higgins Hedrick. Most likely, they were Presbyterians. If at all possible, I'd like to know where they were buried in Claiborne County. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you live in or around Claiborne County, MS? Southeast of Pattison is a Hedrick Cemetery (also known as Fife Cemetery) that may contain some of whom you are looking for. John H Hedrick [1818-?(no death date given)] married Sinai A.F. Brinson (1819-1887) in 1840, and both are buried in Hedrick Cemetery, along with at least four (4) offspring.
Also, John Allison Hedrick (1851-1918) and wife Fannie Chaffin (1850-1910) are buried in Wintergreen Cemetery, the main cemetery in Port Gibson, along with one (1) offspring (one of their offspring is also buried in Hedrick Cemetery).
I can give you the names of offspring if desired, and I may have a few more Hedrick names besides those if you are interested. Hope this helps...

Yes, these are all my ancestors/family members. My posting about Peter Hedrick was in error, and was based on an error in the Natchez Court Records. It seems there were two John A. Hedricks (various spellings). The one I'm descended from was the son of Rachel and Charles Hedrick of Kentucky, not Peter. I know a little about Rachel, nothing about Charles. I'm still hoping to find links to Rachel's family, possibly Higgins. There are clues, but nothing concrete. John Higgins Hedrick and Sinai are my ancestors, and I do have pictures of them. I would love to get pictures of the tombstones in the Hedrick/Fife cemetery. I live in VA and rarely get back to MS. I did find a picture of the cemetery on line that is of the cemetery surrounded by a chain-link fence, but that's all. Thank you for your response, and if I can share any info with you, I'll be glad to do so.
