The Stark family were big property owners in Summit County. I believe they are connected to one of the large malls there. I wonder where the name "Stark" county came from?

We found that there are alot of people in the Stark and Summit Co. area with WV and MD roots. We did eventually go visit in the mountains of WV VA and MD and got a lot of information there. We even found a book about the Schoenbrun and Gnadenhutten Ohio Indian settlements located in Warm Springs VA. Who would of thought that we would find a book from home there. :-)
