There was another family of Crawfords, descendants of old John, but in a different branch of the family-Hal Crawford and a brother, named John, and two sisters, the wife of Cross Roads Henry Berry, and Mercy Bass, wife of Joseph Bass (senior). Berry's wife was named Charity. Hal Crawford married and went West; John Crawford never did marry. I suppose they are both dead. ";

His brother, Stephen, also lived to a great age - perhaps as old as his brother, Henry. I do not know whom he married; he raised a considerable family, only two sons, and several daughters ; his sons were Henry (known in later times as Cross Roads Henry), and Andrew Stephen Berry; he was a good citizen, an honest man, bore a good character through life, but not as useful a man as was his brother, Henry - perhaps, not so well educated; he died about 1862.
...
Cross Roads Henry Berry, a grandson of the first settler, Andrew, and a brother of Andrew, the second, became the most noted of any of the Berry family, except, perhaps, his Uncle Henry, already referred' to. He was born January 13th, 1796, and died 9th July, 1876, and was cremated, July 11th, 1876, near his home.
... Cross Roads Henry Berry was a man of fine business sense, honest and upright in all his various dealings with his fellowman; he applied himself strictly to his own business (farming) and succeeded therein, not for show and ostentation at county and State fairs, but for profit. He settled on 150 acres of land, acquired through his wife, Charity Crawford (then unimproved), and with very little means otherwise began life at the Cross Roads, afterwards and yet called Berry's Cross Roads, where he lived and where he spent his whole life, and there and thereabouts made his large property. He entered into no schemes of speculation ; he at first acquired slowly but surely ; he took care of what he made and kept adding to it, making it larger and larger year by year ; lived well at home, but without ostentation; made most of what he used on his plantation ; he acquired a large landed estate around him, more than ten thousand acres, most of which he deeded to his children before his death; his land's were very valuable; he avoided debt through life ; he raised to be grown five sons and three daughters. The sons were Cade, Gewood, Elihu, James and Stephen, all of whom are now dead, except James, who lives on the old homestead of his father. Cade Berry, the old est son, never married; he died more than twenty-five years ago ; Gewood, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and the only one of the family to whom a collegiate education was given, married Joanna Ellerbe, a daughter of the late John C. Ellerbe, and a sister of the late Captain W. S. Ellerbe; the fruits of this marriage were five sons and a daughter; the daughter died in childhood, the sons were all raised to be grown. Three of the sons, John H., Edward Burke and Thomas Wickham Berry, are among our best and most re spected citizens ; the two others, William E. and Ashton, emi grated West ; William E. Berry is dead, leaving a family somewhere in the Western States. Ashton lives in Florida, and is doing well, as is said. Elihu Berry married, first. Miss Jane Haselden; and she, after having three children, Sallie, Sue and James H., died. Elihu married, a second time, to Miss Mary Ellen Hays, a daughter of the late John C. Hays and by her had four daughters and two sons. The sons are E. L,ide Berry and Eugene Berry, the latter now a minor; the daughters, Telatha, Emma, Lucy and Leila. Telatha married J. W. Davis, of Marion, removed West, and is now dead, leaving two little daughters, twins, who are now being raised by their Grand-mother' Berry ; Emma, the next daughter, married Dow Atkinls, who is one of our good citizens ; Lucy and Leila are both young girls- one at the Columbia Eemale Col lege, the other at Rock Hill. E. Lide Berry, a very worthy young man, is yet single. James Berry, a son of Cross Roads Henry, the only survivor of the family, resides on his father's old homestead, advancing far into life, sixty-seven years of age, a very successful farmer and exemplary citizen; be married Miss Harriett Alford, a daughter of the late Neill Alford, and has raised a large family of sons and daughters. The sons are Robert A., Neil A., Henry, James, Quincy and Downing; the daughters are Telatha, Julia, Florence and Etta- all married, except Florence and Downing. Robert A. and James are doctors, residing and practicing their professions in Birmingham, Ala., and are said to be doing well. Robert A. married a Virginia lady, a Miss McChesney; James married a Miss Carpenter, of Charleston; Henry married a Miss Deer, of Marion; Quincy married a Miss Oliver, of Marion, and daughter of Squire D. J. Oliver ; Downing is yet single. Of the daughters of James Berry, Telatha married a Mr. Guy Lovejoy, and is in some of the Western States ; Julia married Mr. Ed. R. Hamer, who resides at Little Rock; Miss Etta married a Mr. Drayspring, of Birmingham, Ala. ; Miss Florence is yet unmarried. Of Elihu Berry's children by his first wife, Jane Haselden, Miss Sallie married Willis Fore; they raised five children, three sons and two daughters. The sons are Linwood, Tracy and Willis. Linwood married a Miss Dudley, of Marlborough; Tracy married a Miss Hays, daughter of our fellow-citizen, H. R. Hays ; Willis is yet unmarried. Of the two daughters, Janie married James Dudley, of Marlborough ; Rebecca, the younger daughter, married John C. Hays. The second daughter of Elihu, Sue, married our re spected fellow-citizen. Captain W. B. Evans ; they have several children, sons and daughters, noted among the Evans family. Of the children of Elihu Berry by his first wife, is a ran, James H. Berry, one of our energetic and prosperous fanmers ; he has been married twice. His first wife was Miss Mollie Stackhouse, daughter of the late Colonel E. T. Stackhouse ; she died some years ago, leaving seven children; the husband, James H. Berry, married, a second time, a daughter of John H. Davis, of Marion. Of the sons of the late Gewood Berry, John H. married Miss Madge Fore, a daughter of Tracy R. Fore ; they have only one child living, a daughter. Edmund Burke married Miss Mary Manning, daughter of the late Thomas J. Manning; they have only one child living, a boy, named for his father, Edmund Burke. Thomas Wickham Berry, the youngest son of Gewood Berry, married Miss Tommie Manning, a sister of Edmund Burke's wife; they have several children, all girls ; they are in the Little Rock community. Stephen Berry, the youngest son of Cross Roads Henry Berry, married Miss Euphemia Watson, a daughter of the late old Isham Watson; Stephen died in about a year after his marriage, childless. His widow married the late F. D. Jones, of Marion, and raised a family of five daughters and one son, about whom more may be said hereafter; Mrs. Jones is also dead. 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 nth 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 Iveslie, 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. Cross Roads Henry Berry's third and youngest daughter, Virzilla by name, married the late John Mace; the fruits of the marriage were two daughters, Lucindia M. and Maggie Ellen their mother died when they were quite young, aged eight and and six years respectively ; they were raised without any mother by their father; he never remarried; the girls grew up to womanhood, and the younger, Maggie Ellen, married John C. Sellers, 23d December, 1869; four years afterwards, Lucinda M. married William G. Edwards ; both Lucinda M. and Maggie E. are dead; the latter died 26th April, 1888, the former died in 1896. Maggie left six children surviving her, viz : Lucy, Benjamin B., Annie, Wallace D., Leila and Maggie Ellen (called Pearl), the latter only three days old at her mother's death; she was taken by her aunt, Rachel Norton, who has kept her till the present time ; she is now thirteen years old. Lucinda M., wife of William G. Edwards, left at her death five children, three daughters and two sons ; the daughters are : Mary, now the wife of J. Dudley Haselden; she has two children, both sons; also, Maggie and Carrie Edwards. The two sons are Henry A. Edwards and Samuel Edwards. Henry, the elder son, after taking a two years course in Wofford College, went to Vanderbilt University, Tenn., arid took a three or four years course in the medical department of that well equipped institution, and is now a young "M. D." . ;
