I've traced Horace Starkweather to Hillsdale County, MI. He appears on the 1850 - 1880 Census. And, it appears, all of his children were born in Hillsdale Cty. However, I can't find much on any of them! The story goes that Horace was a founder or board member of Hillsdale College. I also have read online that he was a constable in Cambria Township. I also know he purchased land in Michigan and is considered a MI pioneer. But he lived at least 30 years of his life in Hillsdale (from town to town), but I just can't find much on him or his family. If you know anything about this group of Starkweather's, please send me a note! Thank you!

Hi Katrina, I have one Starkweather in my files. Mary S. Starkweather b. 1827 in NY d. between 1860 and 1864 Mary was married to Joshua Caswell and they lived in Fremont, Steuben co., IN , not too far from Hillsdale. I don't know much about Mary, but she had one child named Elva A. Caswell b. in 1853. I notice your information shows both an Alva and a Mary Starkweather. Maybe theres some connection.
