There is a record of US Citizen Sterling A. STOUDEMIRE found at Ellis Island age 20, gives b'date, and place of residence, North Carolina. When I looked for the 2 sp you gave it found none and came up with several suggested sp., this was the first on the list and the only record there for this name.
