Son of James Joseph and Elizabeth Sumrall Stringfield
The obituary of John M. Stringfield (1818-1894), who lived near the site said that he was a charter member of
Mile Branch Baptist Church.
During the early part of 1873, Rev. William G. Stovall came to the Franklinton community from Ball Town, which was located near Pearl River,northeast of the present site of Angie.
Rev. Stovall organized a church and school on the north side of Mile Branch near the present Chester Green home (1977). The church became known as the
Mile Branch Baptist Church. The school organized by Rev. Stovall was the only school in the Franklinton
community at the time. The Franklinton Academy on Spring Street closed at the beginning of the Civil War and had not reopened except for brief periods after the War.
