Please forgive the looks of the information on Maryland marriages. That is not the way it was sent. I'll have to remember to copy and paste it differently next time.

Vanessa I have a book I bought from the Smith County Historical Society in Tyler Texas that is called Starrville. I only paid 8.00 for it and it gives the whole history of Starrville and a really good bio of Joshua Starr b.10/1/1811 and his brother William Henry Starr b.3/28/1801. It also lists all of there wives and children and even the spouses of their children. The dates on Willien Henry don't match. The only info that it gives prior to the Starrs coming to Texas is their parents names and where from and a little about siblings and wives and a lot about the Methodist Church. <A HREF="http://www.tyler.net/schs/">Home Page</A> for the historical society.

You mentioned William Henry Starr. Do you have any additional information on this man's family? My husband's mother is a Starr. William Henry Starr (b.1864) was her great-grandfather. They lived in Texas. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Jerry, Since I have had a number of requests, (first person will get the original one later) I have left the original copy at the copy shop to be copied. If you would like a copy, I will send you one for the costs of copying and postage. Am not sure what that will be, $20-$25.00, possibly less. I will pick up some of the copies tomorrow and can let you know the exact price, and would estimate about $3.00 for shipping. If you want me to get back to you tomorrow with copy price, I will do so.

Greetings Starr's. I will be sending about two or three more messages regarding the above connection. I believe it is accurate - if not please let me know at dstarr@igalaxy.net. The reason for the delay is that each message maybe large for some peoples capacity to download. So I will send them a day apart starting today. The first message (after this one ) will be the ancestery of James Starr III. The second message will be a "Starr Connection" jpeg picture. The third will be an excel 57 file that has the contents of the jpeg picture. This you can manipulate to your hearts desire. Hope you enjoy. David Starr - dstarr@igalaxy.net

Hello Sandy--- My wife is a Starr, having descended from Dr. Comfort Starr of Boston, Massachusetts. If looking at her Starr lineage might be of help to you, you may do so through our son, Roger's website at http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~banks/ Regards, Ralph Banks (RafB@aol.com), Austin, TX

Hello all, I found this mention today on one of Ancestry.com's free databases. I thought some of the Ohio Starrs might find this thought provoking. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Marie History of Norfolk, Litchfield County, Connecticut, 1744-1900 From the Church Record June 12, 1816. "I was ordained as pastor of this church by the North Consociation of Litchfield County. The sermon on the occasion was preached by Rev. Lyman Beecher of Litchfield; consecrating prayer by Rev. Alexander Gillett of Torrington; right hand of fellowship by Rev. Chauncey Lee of Colebrook; charge by Rev. Peter Starr of Warren; address to the people by Rev. James Beach of Winsted. It was a most solemn day to me, and may God give me grace to fulfill my vows and to meet the reasonable expectations of this church and people and to glorify his holy name." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- History of Norfolk, Litchfield County, Connecticut, 1744-1900 Length of Old Pastorates Rev. Peter Starr, Warren, 1772 to 1829 57 years, - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- History of Norfolk, Litchfield County, Connecticut, 1744-1900 Rev. Thomas Robbins, D. D. AND I have a friend living here whose father, Seymour Watson, born in Norfolk, used to run the old Canaan and Hartford express. He died here some two years ago, aged eighty, and his wife, born Phebe Spalding, died on her birthday last August, eighty-one, just eleven days younger than I. She bought her wedding dress of my Uncle Battell. Uncle Battell was a very shrewd and successful merchant. At one time he had a quantity of cheese that he had bought in all the towns around Norfolk, that had reached New York. He wrote his agent there to ship it to Richmond, Va., in a certain vessel. The letter did not reach the agent in time,--there were no telegraphs then,--so he put it on board the next sailing vessel. The first vessel was wrecked and its cargo lost. The market was bare of cheese, and when Uncle's arrived he realized a handsome advance. He seldom lost, being very sagacious. When the Eagle bank failed in New Haven, he had become suspicious of its management; he was in New York! arranging to dispose of his stock, when the boat came in and announced the failure. He lost a large sum at that time. Uncle owned a vast amount of Ohio land, and every year he used to go by stage from Norfolk to Ohio to look after it. He always took one daughter with him, and would reach our place to spend the Sabbath. Cousin Irene Battell was the beautiful one of the family. I once heard Uncle James tell father that he, who was quite a traveller, had never seen so beautiful a woman as Irene. It was her influence that persuaded her brother Joseph to give that princely donation to Yale College that made Battell Chapel possible. Then, too, she was, as Professor Gustave Stoeckel says in her memorial, 'an unrivalled soprano singer.' It is no wonder her father and the family were so proud of her. . . . Grandpa Robbins had a sister who was the wife of Rev. Peter Starr, who was for more than fifty years the minister in Warren, Conn. My father taught school in Warren once. The Star! rs were a noted family. One of them, Chandler, a cousin of father's, was a merchant in New York. Another one, Philemon, a wealthy bachelor, I met at Aunt Battell's. Grandfather was very fond of music. Mother told me that when on his deathbed the family sang, he noticed a mistake in the tune and corrected it. Uncle Frank was a fine singer and remarkably gifted in prayer. He insisted that all the congregation should stand through the long prayer, and at times it was as long as the sermon.

Hello fellow Star(r) researchers, I'm finding this data frustrating I have a Mose and a Moses Shrum in my tree and (LATER) one of their family married a Star(r) my Grandma Rose aka; Rosie,Rose A., Roseann. She was born (depending on where ya look > 1863 or 1867 (this descripancy) appears to be one of those "She married a younger man and fudhged on dates to save face things". Her siblings were (mind you; these MAY be nicknames?) Brawney,Samp,Milly, Betty ! Her parents are unknown to me??? But the Census has her as being from KY as well as her parents. This is all I have except her pertant "lifes data"; from AFTER her marriage; to my Grandpa >> Walter "Jerry" Jeremiah Alexander Shrum. At Carrollton at Carroll County Arkansas on 4/27/1886 < that's the one thing I'AM SURE OF> as I have copy of marriage certificate! ANY HELP here is appreciated! oh yeah ! > rumors of CHEROKEE blood from Rosie Star(r) are in this tree also ! Thanks to my Father Edgar Garfield Shrum. I'm keeping an open mind because if,.... IF mind you there is CHEROKEE BLOOD in her tree and with that" STARR ",surnsame well she may have had to FABRICATE data to SURVIVE the death penalty from the tribe's order For Starr's! Not to mention the USA Government's "ROUNDUP" efforts for/on ,Indian peoples notably, Cherokee's in the same areas, she was in.

I have some handwritten info given to me by a relative and she doesn't even know where it came from or from whom, but it lists some Starr's beginning with Comfort Starr in 1635 in Boston. From these notes, I can't exactly trace our Starrs (Josuah Starr, Starrville, Smith County, Texas born 1811)back to him. Josuah came to Texas from Wilkes County Georgia in 1852. He was a methodist minister as was his brother William Henry Starr. There are also a lot a Starrs in this area of Texas and Oklahoma who are Indians and part of the infamous outlaws named Starr. I think there is probably some relation because most of the Indians came from Alabama and Georgia in the Trail of Tears, but I don't think my line is Indian. I would be interested in this book and also would like to acquire any files from anyone with info on Starrs. Would it be possible to get a xerox from anyone? Of course, I would pay any costs.
