I am working with the Starkey family in Monroe Co., Ohio and I found an Amelia Barnes, daughter of Dorsey applied for a marriage license in Belmont Co to wed David Starkey. There was no return so I don't know if they wed or not. They applied for the license in April 1825 and the oldest child in this family I cite following had their first child abt 1827. But I find in 1850 in Meigs Co a Permela Starkey, age 49, DAvid 18, Marinda 13, Westley 10, Emily 7 and a Watson STarkey 23 and his family, Malinda 22, William 2, & Wilson 21. There are other Starkey families in Meigs Co., but I wonder since she named a son David if this is the same person? Does anything know what happened to Amelia Barnes and who might her parents be. Hope someone can clear this up for me. Thanks. Jerilyn ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
