I wanted to follow up on my information about the Travis-Stallworth connection. These people came from Edgefield District (now county) and made the trip to south Alabama. Who knows? Maybe they even knew each other before they made the trip.
I have some material that comes from the Internet and I hope it is correct. You can't always trust everything you read. We will begin with material on the Stallworth family.
