Bob, We estimate "my David Starr" to have been born about 1816 from information on the 1850 Ar. census. Do you by any chance have a Johnson Starr in those records of folks in Ohio? I found listed on the 1840 Pulaski Co., Mo. census a David Starr between the ages of 20-30 with a wife the same age. Living close to him was a Johnson Starr of the right age to be his father. These census do not list names of children-only how many and their approximate ages. Also living close by was a Hezekiah Sneed. David was married to Emeline and we think her last name was Sneed/Snead. This was in Pulaski Co., District 72, Pulaski County, Mo. I did not find a place listed on that census that asked where they were born. And, just to make it a little more confusing, there is also found in Johnson Co., Mo. in 1840 another David Starr. I haven't seen the census numbers on that one. This is a note where my Mother found him listed. David and his family were in Scott Co., Ar. by the 1850 census. They stayed in that area and are buried there. David had a son James Amos who had a son William David "Bill". Bill Starr and Pherbia Coppak Starr were the parents of my grandfather James Omar Starr. Do you have a record of the first David in your notes?
