Stallwoods settled in Iowa?
Hi, I am trying to find my connection to the rest of the Stallwood family.I know very little of my familys background.My grandfathers name was Vernon Stallwood, he married a woman by the name of Virginia who gave birth to a handful of children my father Delbert among them.They settled in Marshalltown, Iowa.My grandfather was originally adopted and was raised with only his last name and no real knowledge of his family origins.Sadly Vernon did not live a long life and died shortly after I was born preventing me from questioning him on our origin.I have often times spoken with family regarding this issue however no one seems to have any information besides the rumors that they were taught growing up.The family rumor is that Vernons parents were traveling English Gypsies and had put him up for adoption shortly after being born.This sounds a little far fetched to me.If there is anyone out there that can provide information as to where I come from please let me know.If you can't get a hold of me on here feel free to message me on Facebook by searching my first and last name.
