John Starke - he d. Nov 1799 and my ancestor, his oldest son, Thomas migrated to Wilkes County, Ga. after the Revolution. I need to go look for the property - its on the N. Anna River across from John Wyatt's property in Caroline and I have fairly decent directions - and have been told that the land is undeveloped on the Caroline side... one never knows what one may find but we are waiting for the snakes to hibernate! As dry as it has been they staying close to whatever water they can find and most of the inland creeks have dried up or are very, very low - the James is low and we live only about a mile from that river - although it is not as bad as the 3-yr. drought when you could walk across and not get your waist wet! > Thanks - please email me privately > dsanfilippo303@adelphia.net > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Carol > To: VAHANOVE-L@rootsweb.com > Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 11:24 AM > Subject: Re: [VAHANOVE] Re: Mayfield, Hanover County, Virginia -- Garland > > > Diane > There is a house called "Eureka"-2 story frame on 245 acres bordered by Rt > 670,675 &778 & stone horse creek near farrington..built c1854 by Gibson > Starke,a native of Culpeper Co.Va.It has not been altered much.Only one out > building remains near the house.A small Starke cemetery is in front of the > house including...George Clewning starke-b-1861..Parke Purdy > Starke,Sr.-b-June 1863,,,&mary Louise Starke-b-Sept 1865,,3 of Gibson & > Adaline's children..Also born there are the present owners..Parke Purdy > Starke, Jr,Nell Augusta Starke and Harold Eugene Starke.
