Memorir thoughts of Beverly Rose on his 88th birthday written at the request
of his son Walter L Rose.... I was born in Person county , North Carolina,
near the place called Lea's Bridge over the creek called Hyco,August 9th 1794.
What shall I say to you my children in close of my 88th year is this.  My
father was a native of Scotlan, born in that Country, in the city of Inverness.
The name of my Mother was Eunice Lea, her fatherand mother were both natives
of England, they came over from England to this Country and settled on the
Mattamani River above Yorktown, Va. from thence my father, William Lea removed
from Va to North Carolina, and settled in Person county, about three miles
North of Leasburg in Caswell County, and near the Church now called "Lea's
Chapel", in Person county.  My father came from Scotland,when a young man to
this country and stopped in Petersburg, Va and was employed as a merchant in
that place selling goods.  From Petersburg he removed into North Carolina,
and settled in Person county, not far from where my Grandfather and mother
lived at that peroid.  My father became acquainted and they were married..
