The town of Stovall was named for John Walker Stovall, who gave right of way for the railroad.

Family history states that there was a scuppernong vine in the edge of the front yard of the Stovall house, where Lucy would come to pray. When she died, she was buried here, establishing this spot as the family burial ground.

Information was obtained from tombstones and from Fann Montague, a direct descendent of John Walker Stovall.
