My cousin Leora Stark Burnsworth corresponded several times with Wayne before he died and purchased his book she said it was some of the best money spent.I think he wrote 2 books. This is my family. She sent me a page 44 and has a note on the top (this is from his first book called Generations. It states Henry Stark (the oldest brother) lived at Baltimore *(this would be my great greatgrandfather I believe) where I have so much problems in is that my father the oldest was only 12 when his father Charles Havener Stark was killed in coal mine, Charles was the youngest and was born after his father Richard Havener Stark died at also a young age in his 40's of Pnemonia he was a shoemaker and was born(1840) in Ireland also the youngest of Henry Stark and Betsy Mee Stark (Betsy died enroute to US) Henry return to Europe we are told and remarried and returned to Baltimore and had 3 more children) So you see all 3 of these names Stark Havener and Mee have been noted in Ireland Palatine families. Would like to share family information as Henry's sister Catharine Stark called "Kitty" married Henry Ruckle Sr. This Hugh Ruckle which son is he of? >From: [email protected] >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [IP] Stark/Havener/Mee >Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2001 02:48:56 EDT > >I am reading the book""The Bittinger, Bittner, Biddinger, and Bidinger >Families --and Their Kin--of Garrett County, Maryland" by Waylne Bittinger >at >this time.
