The fruits of this marriage were a daughter, who married a Mr. Harrington, I think, of Georgetown ; and sons, Asa Godbold, Jehu, Robert, Thomas, Alexander, Charles, Thomas and William H., and another daughter, named Martha Ann.

Marion. Asa Godbold, Sr., was a very energetic, persevering man, sharp and shrewd, was elected Ordinary after the death of General E. B. Wheeler, in 1859, which position he held by successive elections until the reconstruction period, and he, like all others of the old regime, was relegated to the rear. His daughter, Mary Jane, married Captain Mat. Stanly, of Mexican War and Confederate reputation, and resides ten or twelve miles below Marion Court House. Captain M. B. Stanly is an importation from Darlington. When a young man he volunteered and went to the Mexican War, was with General Taylor in the several battles around the city of Mexico, and in the storming and capture of that city. When the Confederate War began, he was made Captain of the first company that left Marion, 4th January, 1861, and went to Charleston and joined the first regiment (Maxcy Gregg's), and remained Captain of the company until after the reduction of Fort Sumter, 13th April, 1861. Captain Stanly has several children, two sons and one daughter, who are the men and women of the present generation, and all doing well. James Godbold, son of Asa, Sr., married a daughter of the late W. F. Richardson, below Marion. He has reared a family of two sons and three daughters, the names of whom the writer does not know. Asa Godbold, Jr., married Miss Sallie Ellerbe, sister of the late Captain W. S. Ellerbe; he died a few years ago, leaving a large family of sons and daughters ; the sons are Walter, William, James C, Lawrence and Luther; the daughters, Alice, Mollie, Anne, Victoria, Bessie and Daisy ; of the sons, Walter and William are married of the daughters, Alice, Mollie, Anne and Victoria are married; Bessie and Daisy are unmarried.

Thomas Pate, now stationed at Florence ; Miss Mollie, J. B. Moore, of Latta, S. C. ; Miss Annie married James Harrel, of Cheraw, S. C. Miss Victoria married W. H. Breeden, of Campbell's Bridge, S. C. The late Thomas W. Godbold, another son of Asa Godbold (senior), was no ordinary man; clear-minded, energetic and industrious ; never married; died about a year ago, at the age of sixty-five. F. M. Godbold, the youngest son of Asa Godbold (senior), married, first, a Miss Vance, in Abbeville County, to which county he removed, and there remained till a few years ago, when he returned to his native county, where he now resides ; by his first wife he had several children ; and she dying, he married another Miss Vance, a cousin of the first wife.
