Hello Cheryl, Jacob's POB should not be Bala Cynwd. But, I cannot rule that out 100%. When I googled Bala Cynwd (or Bala Cynwyd) it is in Montgomery County the opposite side of the state. Family could have moved after Jacob was born! Why see the next paragraph, please. My sister, Bridgette Ann Kenefick - Osz, (et al) have Jacob and wife Margaret born in Washington County, Pennsylvania. All Jacob's brother and sisters (8 siblings total) are listed as born in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Jacob's father, William Starr DOB about December 1920 and mother, Accious Green, are listed as being from PA, so maybe the Bala Cynwd area??. Per my sister, William and Accious should be on the 1870 Census in Washington county. I need to try and verify that. Maybe get back the the 1860. Any one want to find them on the 1850 for me, I will be happy to take the citation and look it up on HQ. 8>) I found Jacob on the 1870 Steubenville, Jefferson, Ohio census, 1880 Steubenville and now the 1900, Steubenville. One of Jacob's first daughters, Accious Elizabeth Starr DOB February 11, 1862, was listed as being born in Eldersville, Washington, Pennsylvania, USA. They appear to moved back and forth for the birth of the next 9 children between West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Though in that area the distance from PA to WV to Ohio is about 10 - 15 miles. AKA the Pan Handle of West Virginia. Unrelated to this is my fathers sister, Aunt Kate and Uncle Chuck Shute. They live off Eldersville Road in Follansbee, West Virginia. I only suspected it was Cleveland. HQ copy is very hard to read. Other researchers listed his DOB as November 1884 in ?, Jefferson, Ohio, USA. This is one of the reasons I was looking for the 1900 Census to find him and a sister George Anna Starr DOB about March 1881 in Jefferson, Ohio (which Cathy some what confirmed) and any others. I have to look the remaining family members on the 1910 and 1920 records yet (some of which other researchers have already found). Father Jacob Starr died about 1903 and his wife Margaret Amelia Murphy died June 16, 1915. Maybe after the Christmas. Cheryl, thanks so much for taking a look. Here's to knocking down walls in 2008.
