I am a descendant of Dr. E. W. Starr and Elvira Ruse Starr who are buried in Linwood Cemetery, Columbus, GA. The family came to Georgia from Richmond, VA in the 1830s. Edward Worthington was a homeopathic doctor in Columbus, GA. Though Edward died during the Civil War, he did not die in the Civil War as he was quite an elderly gentleman by that time. However, his son, Francis Ruse Starr did enlist briefly as a private and is said to have been an Episcopal chaplain in the war. Edward's wife, Elvira, was the daughter of John Ruse of Philadephia, later of Richmond. We have very little information on this family. Edward Worthington is the son of Hezekiah Starr (1781-1828) and Julia Ann DaShiell who had five children: George, John Caroline, Edward Worthington, and Charles. Only Edward and Charles have descendants. Hezekiah Starr is one of three brothers of Baltimore: Henry, William and Hezekiah. Henry was a tavern keeper, and William and Hezekiah were in the tobacco trade together. William's son, Robert, continued the business in Baltimore after Hezekiah moved to Richmond c. 1816. We do not know the origin of these three brothers, though we suspect they were born in America. A recent research trip to Baltimore was fruitless. All three brothers have descendants. We want to hear from anyone else out there who is also from one of these lines! LeAnna Starr Biles
