I apologize for so much of this info at once. i hope I have not offended anyone by writing so extensively, its just that I have not been able to take this back further. neither has my mother, nor her uncle. They have been at it for some time. The Dashiell line of Somerset County we have from the Dashiell Family Book, which is where the bulk of the above info came from. I am hoping that someone out there will recognize any of the related names. I have all marriages for hezekiah's brothers, Henry and William, including Issue and further. Recently I noticed that there are many Starr people in baltimore County that may be parents of the brothers or related to them. james and Moses starr are in balto Co. 1737 tax list. Aquilla and hany starr are in 1750 list for baltimore also. There are some births in late 1790s for james and Ann Starr's issue. I am assuming this to be James Starr and ann grover from the Pa and Delaware Quaker/Irish/English Starr Family. The Aquilla, Moses and older james also fit for that family. The use of Worthington has not been uncovered, I think perhaps the brothers Starr may have been Worthingtons by their mother's side. I can give all the names of herny and William's children, if need be. Hezekiah was a member of the ancient Mechanical Society of Baltimore, he served with them during the war of 1812 in defense of Baltimore, his brother William served with him. There is a William Starr, taylor, in 1796 B.C. directory with an Obediah Starr, mahogany sawyer, and Capt. benjamin Dashiell; and Lewis bernard, merchant. I have looked at the Worthington, Buchanan, Dorsey families as well as some from the Sons of Liberty, the Independent Cadets, the Council of Safety, the Committee of Observation, the Committee to lay out baltimore town, etc. Obediah Starr was also a member of the mechanical society and the Sons of Liberty, which grew from the Mechanical Society. There is an Obediah Starr in 1781 fighting from across the bay in Talbot county. We believe hezekiah Starr also owned a Ship as Joseph A. Mall. I believe Obediah Starr (sr.?) did as well. I will stop here and hope this is read, if at least skimmed, by some members of this list, and not simply deleted. I read many emails everyday but i also delete quite a few as well. I am very sorry for writing so long. Please contact me with any suggestions regarding my research. does anyone know who is the authority on the Whig Society of Baltimore or any of the above mentioned societies and acting bodies during the Revolution? kindest regards, jason carpenter in nyc where i will do moderate lookups @ the NYG&BS, NYHS, and NYPL Genealogy Room as well as the NARA here in town.Get more from the Web.
