It also should be noted that these brothers were men of considerable property and were educated beyond the average for their area. There also were some Sisters of these men who also settled near them and their decedents probably migrated to AL.

WHAT ARE STALLWORTH'S LIKE? ===It gave me a good feeling going to my first Stallworth reunion. In the reception room of the First Methodist Church in Monroeville. That day was June of 1979; it was nice and comfortable to be surrounded by people with the same blood running in our veins. I sat there watching the old ladies, the keepers of the blood, and I felt close. I needed to find out what made the Stallworth's different; what made them distinctive, so I asked Mrs. Rebecca Welch of Tuscaloosa==WHAT ARE THE STALLWORTH'S LIKE? I think she answered the question well. "Well", she said "they are gregarious people; they don't meet many strangers. They are informed. They are interested in family. They like big families. Guess you could say they like money. Look, we didn't come from Royalty, we are just good honest, hard working, fun loving people." She thought a moment more and leveled her gaze at me. "We are front porch people", she said, "we will go over to somebodies house and sit on the porch and after we visited and 'howded'each other, we may spend the night." Those words and the comfort I got from hugging kinfolks, make me glad that I am a Stallworth.
