This is a very good point brought up by Adrian; in fact, I plan to provide documentation (when things settle down and I relocate it) for Caleb's birthyear in 1764 rather than the usual estimated 1758 which proves beyond a doubt, the 'Indian trader' attributed as Caleb Starr in Ramsay's History of Tennessee or Summer's Annals of SW VA can't be the one who married Nancy Harlan. I have several sources which say "an Indian trader" / "an Indian trader named STARR" and finally "Caleb Starr" harangued the Indian chiefs to not attack the whites. This was during the RW. I've often wondered who this "Indian trader Starr" is? Or could he be only attributed to Caleb, so wasn't a STARR. But certainly there are enough southern STARRs without lineage out there to NOT rule out any possibility along the lines of another Indian connection. Linda
