Amburgey" <b.amburgey@worldnet.att.net> wrote:Hello, I am researching descendants of Philipp Daniel Stark and Margaretha Ludwig of Newburgh Township. I have over 900 descendants to date. The family was from Bobstadt, Hesse-Darmstadt. At our most recent reunion we discovered a letter from Philipp's son Charles written in beautiful S�tterlin script in the local dialect of Hesse from a Union Camp in 1865. Phillip and Margaretha had five children: Charles (Karl Ludwig), Valentine, Philipp Jr, Elizabeth and Clara. Clara's family emigrated to Orrville, Ohio but the remainder lived in the Cleveland area all their adult lives and many descendants still live in Cuyahoga county today. Surnames associated with the STARKS are: NIGHTINGALE SCHWARTZ M�ller or MILLER BEESER MESSENGER BAER or BAIR Many of the family attended St. John's German Lutheran Church in Garfield Heights and Valentine Stark's home is a centennial home on Granger Road. I also would like to say hello to Lucie Flowers, Bob Jerin, and John Carroll who are on this list.

Bob, If memory serves the number is 9328, but I won't swear to it. You can contact the Garfield Heights Historical Society; ask for Laria, she will be able to give you the exact number and the present owner's name. I have a picture if you'd like it. Contact me off list. BTW we know the NIGHTINGALES changed their surname from NACHTIGAL during WWI when many German families did the same. The family was of German/Swiss origin and came to the Cleveland area from West Virginia in the late 1800s.
