Here are the facts on the census I wrote about before: Adam age 51, b. VA Hannah 39, b. OH Andrew 21, b. OH Jane 18, b. OH John 16, b. OH George 14, b. OH Orville 12, b. OH Catherine 10, b. ILL Eliza 8, b. ILL Givans 6, b. MO Jesse 4, b. MO Fletcher 1, b. MO
I have posted the 1850 census with this family on it on the MyFamily.com site in the file cabinet. I hope you all enjoy it. I have a couple of questions about what is on it. I'll just ask one for now. The 1 year old male child was named Fletcher. From what I have heard from some of you, there was a Henry that was born to Adam and Hannah in 1849. Is Henry the same person as Fletcher? Or maybe was Fletcher born in 1849 (like it says on the census) and Henry may have been born in 1851 (after the census was taken in Nov. of 1850). Any thoughts or helps? Crystal

Jolene _______________________ The following information has been excerpted from "The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy," edited by Loretto D. Szucs and Sandra H. Luebking, Chapter 14, Native American Family History, by Curt B. Witcher and George J. Nixon: (Online at: http://www.ancestry.com/home/source/src441.htm) INTRODUCTION By Curt B. Witcher Native American genealogical research is among the most challenging and rewarding of historical research endeavors. Interest in the life patterns, religions, migration and settlement patterns-indeed, in the entire culture of these earliest inhabitants of the North American continent-remains high. There are numerous fundamental differences between the Native American and the European American cultures, and it is these differences that present the greatest challenge to the genealogist. In beginning Native American genealogical research, it is important to employ a fundamentally sound research methodology-the same methodology that would be used in compiling any family history. Initially, family sources should be consulted for information about previous generations. These sources include all living relatives, family papers and scrapbooks, daybooks, photograph albums, and diaries (see chapter 1, The Foundations of Family History Research). Considering the very strong oral tradition among Native American peoples, special attention should be given to conducting thorough interviews of all relatives. Sound research methodology mandates that one research from the present into the past, from more recent times to more distant times, building a solid case based on primary and excellent secondary sources. The temptation to begin with the records of a particular tribe and prove forward to a more contemporary ancestor should be avoided. Not only is proving forward more difficult, it does not afford one the opportunity to investigate the widest range of records. Further, it tempts one to make assumptions that are clearly not based on the preponderance of evidence. Maintaining extensive and accurate records is essential for any genealogical endeavor, but especially so for Native American research. All places, dates, and other data associated with a potential ancestor should be recorded with appropriate documentation even if their relevance is unknown or unclear at the time. No piece of data about a potential ancestor is inconsequential. Adhering to a defined series of research strategies is the most productive way to engage in Native American genealogical research. The researcher must be willing to employ research strategies in a sequence which gathers useful general material first, tribe-specific data second, and, finally, individual (person-specific) data and records. A successful research strategy could be outlined in a manner similar to the following: 1. Thoroughly investigate the areas where ancestral research is being considered for the identities, histories, and cultural attributes of the native peoples. 2. Employ a carefully constructed and consistently applied methodology for locating the greatest number of research documents and data on the tribe of the potential ancestor. 3. Work through all of the materials relating to a particular tribe or nation to obtain the fullest understanding of its peoples and the most complete individual-specific group of records. This chapter details a number of sources that the Native American genealogical researcher may want to investigate in the process of establishing and documenting a family history.

Dear STARR cousins, I am thrilled at the exchanges being made on this list, but honestly feel just a little 'left out'. I also descend from Michael STARR. Same one Carol Davis-Wileman mentioned. Sure wish I could connect to some of these fascinating stories the rest of you are sharing. However, I noticed an e-mail (possibly from Texas Rio?) which referenced the surnames CROSS and MAINS. PLEASE, everyone check your databases and see if we can connect. I have the following: Landon Cross Armstrong (his daughter, Mary Adaline, married my Noble Molton STARR). Landon was married to Nancy Brylla MAINES. I have a burial place for Landon as Collins County, TX. With all the coincidences, of places and names so closely tied to each other, I am hoping someone recognizes these folks. Waiting, oh, so anxiously to 'adopt' new cousins!!! :) Sincerely, Sherry Morefield Gregg

I'm think that the children you listed are actually the children of George Harlan Starr and Nancy or "Nannie" Bell. Caleb Starr and John Bell are the grandfathers of these children. Also, there is another son, Caleb Ellis (b. May 26, 1854). Jim Wilson wrote: > While going through some of my notes, i cam accross the following! > > Caleb Starr m.

I believe that these folks are as follows: James Starr (b. 1833, d. 1901) is the son of Ezekiel and Mary or Polly Upshaw. Jessie B. is Jessie Bell Starr, daughter of the above James Hickory and his wife, Emma Jane Rider Starr. Susan E. Nuckolis is Susan Elizabeth Starr, another daughter of James and Emma above. Rachel L. could be the daughter of Henry Starr (son of Fields Starr [one of James Starr and Nellie Maugh's sons]and Mary or Polly Reese) and Jennie Lind Starr (daughter of John Walker Starr [brother of James Hickory Starr above] and Rachel Starr [daughter of James Starr and Nellie Maugh]), although I thought her middle initial was J rather than L. You can see how much these Starrs intermarried and it really makes it interesting to sort out! I don't have any idea about who Grace, dau. of JC & LB is. Maybe this will be of help to someone.

Hi Lynette, I'm Neal Shrum, Grandma was Rose Ann Starr out of Arkansas, she was born 1863 or 1864, or 1867 not sure in KY. as were her parents or so my sources say! she married Walter Jeremiah Alexander Shrum in 1886 at Carrollton in Carroll Co. AR. and they sired Edgar Garfield Shrum in 1895 at Greenforrest , AR. Who was my Dad .Never found a single other STARR connection besides sort of's or could of's as far as links to her ! Siblings for her listed as > Milly,Betty,Samp,Brawney. But never have been able to conclude by any source other than written down at home, that these folks were or were not her siblings, and I have found MANY Rose Starr's in my searching that match age wise, and some match as to location !
