<snip> Do the 3 of you descend from Richard STARLING, b. abt. 1669 in Accomac > Co., VA? <snip> Richard was once the suspected culprit. The earliest "confirmed" Starling is Isaac Starling b. 1676 in nansemond county va. His son Isaac left a will in Northampton county NC dated 1760. Most recent research that I have seen suggest that Isaac Starling b. 1676's was the grandson of Isaac Starling of Hadleigh Parish Essex. Deborah Byrd
