Our major Family Surnames are Stephens, Hinson, Calhoun, Midkiff, Cooley, Jarrell, Stevison, Fletcher, Stone, Perkins, and Cooper.There are more of course, but that will do for now.Most of these families settled in southwest LA in the mid-late 1800's, most migrating from the Carolina's and possibly Tennessee.
