I am curious about this Starr family, I have a side family who descend from Jacob Starr through wife Margaret and son Elon M. Starr who was born 22 Apr 1824 m Barbara Ann Fry then Sarah Detter (widow of William Wike) before his death June 1899. Is this the same family - if so I may have some more information for you, including the names of some of the current descendants of this branch. Is the Jonathan Starr who married Easter Cline also part of this family?

Agnes, et. al-- I have Elon M. Starr as s/o Jacob Starr and Margaret Bost > s/o Jacob Starr 1755-1833 Lincoln Co., NC & unk. wife whose other children were Philip Starr who m. bef 1812 probably Lincoln Co., NC Elizabeth Fry and John Starr who m. Sarah "Sallie" Bost 3 Aug 1825 Lincoln Co., NC. Jonathan Starr is also one of my "orphans". I am wondering if the spelling of the surname Stoehr (Rowan Co., NC that ended up in IL)was the early way Starr was spelled. One of my early Starrs is Jacob b. 1728 Palantine area, Germany and unk. wife, children: John Adam who m. Anna Margaret Weitzel (Guilford Co., NC), Jacob m. Anna Maria Weitzel (Guilford Co., NC), John, Barbara, and Anna Marie Starr. Does anyone have the dates of birth, location & death & place of burial for Sarah Detter's mother, Catherine Bisaner/Bysinger? Any help in filling in my "unknown data" or corrections will be greatly appreciated.
