With updates in 1930. John R Bethea, son of James Bethea, married Miss Harriett Bass, daughter of Joseph Bass. (Feb. 1842). He settled on the West side of Little Reedy Creek, between Catfish Church and Cross Roads at John C. Bethea's. He was a good citizen and took a big interest in public affairs. He never aspired to office. He was very popular and extremely hospitable. He was a zealous Methodist but not always consistent. He was constantly being hauled up in the church for excessive conviviality. He would make solemn promises and the Church would pass him. His extreme hospitality and neighborly generosity kept him from accumulating. He was a great reader especially theological books. He greatly enjoyed theological discussions particularly if the contestants were Methodists and Baptists. He had a contempt for the Baptist. Strange to say, several of his children joined the Baptist Church, withdrawing from the Methodist Church. He was well posted on current events. As a lad, I remember a great many funny incidents connected with his life. He served in the Home Guards during the War between the States. The Home Guard was organized mainly as a protection against the deserters, who robbed and pillaged in the upper part of the county now Dillon. He had five sons and two daughters. His sons were Joseph J., Lewis S, Thomas C, Harris C., and Walter E. His daughters were Almira and Addie. Almira married Joseph Allen of Marlborough. Addie married Edward Watson. They both have children. NOTE. Attention is called to the fact that information contained in these pages has not been brought up to date since 1916, except in the case of the writer's immediate family. Information concerning them has been brought up to 1930.
