Of the daughters of Cross Roads Henry Berry, Mary, the eldest, married Stephen Fore, 20th February, 1845. The writer was one of his best men upon that pleasant occasion. Stephen Fore and 'wife are both dead; he died 11th March, 1881 ; Mrs. Fore died some four or five years ago ; the fruits of their marriage were five daughters and four sons, viz: Flora, Amanda, Florence, Annie and Ida ; the sons are George, Oliver Cromwell, J. Russell and Clarence. Flora, the eldest daughter, married James D. Bethea, who survives her, she having died two or three years ago ; she left several daughters and three sons, viz: Mary, Blanche, Maude, Clara, Maggie and Leslie, all of whom are grown. Blanche and Maude are married'- the former to Dan Dillon, the latter to Chalmers Biggs; the other girls are single. The sons are Kemper, Charles and Lonnie; of these, Kemper, the writer thinks, is married, and is in the city of Washington, in the employ of the government in some of its departments ; Charles is about grown ; be and his younger brother, Lonnie, remain with their father and unmarried sisters. Amanda, the second daughter of Stephen Fore and wife, Mary, married David S. Allen ; she died some years back, and left at her death four girl children, the oldest of whom, Mary, is the wife of John D. Coleman, a very excellent man and worthy citizen ; her three sisters all live with her. D. S. Allen, the father,, married a second time; his wife is the sister of his son-in-law, John D. Coleman. The writer is curious to know what kin the children of D. S. Allen, by his second wife, are to the children of John D. Coleman, the son-in-law of D. S. Allen ? The third daughter of Stephen Fore and wife, Mary, Florence by name, married D. McL. Bethea; she died in May last, leaving seven children, six daughters and one son, named James Stephen; the daughters are Estelle, Nellie, Lutie, Annie, Ida and Florence AUine; Nellie, the second daughter, lately married Mr. Maurice Manning, a promising young man ; the other children are with their father, the youngest about two years old; the son, James Stephen, is about fifteen or sixteen years of age. D. McL. Bethea is a very prosperous man. Annie, the fourth daughter of Stephen Fore, married Willie Watson, son of William Watson, deceased; they have ten children, seven sons and three daughters; the sons are Lawton, Julian, Burke, Hoyt, Jasper, Pratt and Memory; the daughters are Nora, Pauline and Alma-all single and live with their parents. The two oldest sons, Lawton and Julian, are in Wake Forrest College, in North Carolina. Ida, the fifth daughter of Stephen Fore, married Mr. Evmerson M. Duffie, at Marion, who is a genius in machinery, and is the owner of the extensive iron works in the town of Marion ; he is not only a useful man in his profession, which he took up within himself and brought it up to its present perfection without serving any apprenticeship ; he may truthfully be called a natural genius, but he is a most excellent man every way-full of energy, pluck and perseverance, re liable in every phase of life. They have five or six children of both sexes, none grown, names unknown to the writer. The oldest son of Stephen Fore is George Fore, one of our best and most worthy citizens; he married a Miss Ford, daughter of the late Elias B. Ford. George Fore has three children; two sons. Baker and Joseph, and one daughter, Kate - -all grown and unmarried. The oldest son. Baker, is a graduate of Wake Forrest College, and is a promising young man.[*Since writing the above, George Fore has died. ] The second son of Stephen Fore is J. Russel Fore ; he and the fourth son, Clarence Fore, have never married; they live together on the father's old -homestead ; one of James D. Bethea's daugh ters, their niece, stays with them and keeps house. Each of these boys has his own place, runs his own farm, and makes his own money. J. Russel is reputed to have money ahead; he is much older than Clarence, and has been working for himself much longer, and hence has accumulated more money. Oliver Cromwell Fore, the third son of Stephen Fore, married Miss Jennie Lassiter, a very smart woman, as well as a good woman; they have four children, two boys and two girls, all small ; Cromwell has been in the iron works of his brother-in law, McDuffie, for several years, and is supposed to have learned much about machinery and how to make or repair it. Cross Roads Henry Berry's second daughter, Telatha, married Dr. Willis Fore, a brother of Stephen Fore, supra; she lived only a few years, and died childless ; Dr. Fore himself survived his wife only a few years, when he died, not having remarried. ;
