Thank you Charlie and Barbara for the reply re: Starkus and Malissa. I have Malissa's birthdate (from her headstone) as 1858. I'm still trying to sort out this part of my family. Just as a side note, my daughter is named for Malissa. I visited Malissa's grave with my Aunt Mary Ruth (Griffin Lawton) when I was 16 and fell in love with that name. Best regards, Sharon
