I am searching for James Starr (1798?) who married Rachel Millard, d/o Emile Millard. Rachel's family was in WVA so maybe James's was also. They had a daughter Martha, born abt.1812 who married Andrew Dempsey in 1831 in Logan, WVA. If anyone has anything on this James Starr, please let me know, I have searched for many years. > > Thanks, > > Diane S. Reed > > >
