John Strong Storrs was a prominent citizen of this county.  He was a younger 
brother of Judge Storrs of Autauga, and was born in Middlebury, Vermont, in 
1810.  Graduated at the college there, he came to Montevallo about the year 
1831, and read law under Hon. D. E. Watrous.  He began the practice at once, 
and was quite successful.  In 1841 he represented the county in the lower house 
of the legislature, and for ten successive years continued in the same 
position.  From 1857 to 1859 he represented Shelby and Jefferson in the 
senate.  He died in November 1862, leaving a reputation for usefulness, and a 
character for integrity and moral conduct.  He was short and stout, with 
prepossessing features.  His wife was a Miss Hazard, of the county, an 
accomplished lady.
