    3. The information that I have on Henry Starr, the notorious bank robber, does not link up with my husband's line. Here is what I have for Henry Starr, the bank robber. Henry Starr was born on Dec 2, 1873 in Fort Gibson, Indian Territory to Tom Starr and Mary (Scott) Starr. Sam Starr (Belle's husband) was his uncle. He was 1/4 Cherokee. His father died at an early age and his mother remarried a man named C. N. Walker. Henry Starr married Miss Ollie Griffin and had a son named Theodore Roosevelt Starr. He married is second wife, Hulda Starr, on February 22, 1920 and moved to Claremore, OK. He was shot in the back on February 18, 1921 during a bank robbery in Harrison, Arkansas and died on February 22, 1921.
