Captain Stephen F. Berry, son of the late Andrew Berry, and nephew of Cross Roads Henry, married a Miss Jones, and raised a large family of sons and daughters, the names of whom (or all of them) the writer does not know. His oldest son, Henry, married a Miss Cottingham, and has a family; another son, Wylie, married a daughter of H. C. Dew, and is doing fairly well; he has one child, a daughter. Another son, Benjamin O., was for a while an itinerant Methodist preacher ; married some lady, to the writer unknown ; he did not do well, was finally expelled from the Conference and has disappeared. Another son, G. Raymond Berry, married a Miss McIntyre, and having a fair education, he has taught school most of the time since, his majority, and has a good reputation, both as a citizen and as a teacher ; he is very popular, and has lately been elected as County Superintendent of Education. Captain Berry has other sons unmarried and living with him, names unknown —think one of them is named Wade Hampton ; he has four married daughters ; one married Albert Rogers, who is doing well and a good citizen, has children—how many is unknown. Another married John B. Hamer, a very energetic, pushing man ; I think he has five or six children. Another married James S. Hays, and is doing well ; Hays is an energetic, persevering man, and prosperous he has several children. Another daughter married a man by the name of Wright, who recently died at Latta ; don't think he left any children.;
