Thanks; I guess his parents were either missed OR he was not born in TN as he indicated in the 1880 census. With a first name like Sterlin/Sterling/Starling, I would tend to think that he would be easy to find, but without his father's name, that leaves me with a pretty wide range of options. I will keep looking.
