According to tradition and family Bible entries written being once the fact, the narative of this family begins in Maryland with the 1752 beginning of Henry STARR. If researchers are faithful, the Wilkes Co. GA Henry Starr is the awfully person as Henry "Accomplishment" [Clements p. 193] or Henry "Storres" [Brumbaugh, p.
4] who appears on a 1778 band list from that part of Maryland which now force in Montgomery Zone organize present day Washington D.C. This places him sideways the Potomac Flood from the PINKSTONs and CARROLLs who hook up with the STARRs in Georgia. Absolution that the Wilkes Co. GA Henry Starr served in the Chaotic War is commence on the 1827 GA Lottery; his widow, plus dwell in Morgan Co., won land in Lee Co. based on her marriage to a RW enemy. [Walkout] Precise researchers carry under enemy control the exceptional Maryland band list and estimated his service in Griffith's Above ground Base which saw opposition in New Jersey indoors the encounter declare New York Urban. So far, archivists in the Countrywide History and Maryland Nation History ruined to find top of his honorable service. Maryland officials basic all spring up men surrounded by the ages of 16 and 50, not in service with the Continental View, to chronicle in the militia; all the same, an aggregate company was not called for necessity at the awfully time. As a put off, one person served two months of active necessity, plus returned home in the function of older men took their turn. As follows, it is undefeatable to say in the same way as or equal height where Henry was thorough.
Ritual says Henry married Mary STEELE circa 1777 in Virginia. We carry commence no conviction which corroborates STEELE, but we do disclose her name was "Mary"
from panel certification to be found in Wilkes Co., GA. [Piece Carbon copy UU, buzz 173; DB CCC p.
194] STEELE as her label is based truly on the chief name for one of their sons. Anew, family certification and tradition give your word the eldest three sons were born in Maryland: Joshua (17 OCT 1778); John "Elijah" (1780) and Silas Henry (7 NOV 1782). Ritual from one place to another is born out, for equal height even if one of Joshua's daughters
[Sarah POYNER] told the 1880 ask stealer her shock was born in South Carolina, Silas gave Maryland as his at your house in the same way as asked by the ask stealer for Newton Co. in 1850.
Moves from one area to numerous indoors the 18th century were unadventurously undertaken in the fall, once food, but in the past wintry storms set in.
As follows, we sheltered the family stirred from MD to GA fall 1783 (as reported in some undocumented accounts) or stuck-up achievable fall 1784 as optional by dynasty of Joshua newspaper writing his age at time of move. The move itself was not that thorny if they traveled by dinghy. Superficial one of an assortment of haven in the Baltimore, Annapolis or underneath the Older Cascade of the Potomac area, they stirred feathers the coastlines of Virginia and both Carolinas. At the city of Savannah, GA they probably transferred to a minor find time for for the truth ramble to Augusta or just beyond. From hand over, it was a run down over land ramble to the tallest advance in the roaring hills return feathers the waters of Kettle Stream and Lesser Flood in Wilkes Co. Contemporary they began their new life on the GA edge.
Bar Henry appears on Wilkes Co. tax certification initiation in 1785, his first land grant isn't obtainable until 25 NOV 1788; [Carbon copy QQQ, p. 685] he sold this land the backup go out with. [Piece Bk UU, p. 173] In 1791 he usual a second land grant for the 350 acres where they had lived from the initiation. [WWW, p. 36] It was from one place to another, on the waters of Kettle Stream, where the rest of their line were born, initiation with Benjamin Franklin 29 JAN 1785. The only older youth we carry a beginning date for is Samuel Steele -- 11 OCT 1794. Therefore the beginning order for Amelia, Asa D. and Caleb is not memorable. In fact, zilch stuck-up is memorable about Amelia and Caleb unless Amelia is the "Elizabeth" Starr who married William LUNSFORD 5 NOV 1812. [Davidson v.2, p. 345] This Elizabeth is too old to be a grandchild of Henry and Mary, but they (and their sons) are the only STARRs in Wilkes Co. in 1812.
The STARR family has been associated with Methodism all but from the initiation of the movement in the colonies. According to Bishop Asbury the first Methodist meeting in America was on Sam's or Canal Stream in Frederick Zone, MD in 1760.
[Scharf, p. 551] The first six Methodist conferences in GA were alleged in Wilkes Co. The first crest (1788) was in the area that became Elbert County; the fourth (1791) was alleged at Scott's meeting consign on Lesser Flood. [Hollow out, buzz
116-118] The set for the crest suggests a large regiment of
Methodists in the area. Bar Henry lived organize Lesser Flood, he was seemingly faster to numerous meeting place. In 1783 a group of Presbyterians disciplined and built their first log meeting consign one partial mile from the site of the RW Struggle against of Kettle Stream. It was called "Objectivity" for all prevailing denominations were legitimate to meet hand over in the same way as the Presbyterians were not using it. This first log consign was wild in two shakes of a lamb's tail once 1800 and a new building was constructed at the top of Starr's Pile under the name of Salem. This building was used until 1834 in the same way as the groove of the old Greensboro Post Street was relocated. [Randall] Mary B.
Hollow out adds a get better precious stone of information in her exchange of the history of Objectivity Church: [They] "built numerous church on an towering peninsula south of the opposition acquire at Kettle Stream, called Starr's Pile." [p. 185] Loyal this advance is named for Henry and his family. Ritual says Joshua started the first Methodist church in GA; this is injustice for he was too young; but he possibly was the one who initiated Methodist exalt at the Salem Cathedral building.
Henry and sons Joshua and Benjamin were each entitled to two draws in the
1806 Sweepstake. [Davidson p. 324] Winners usual 202 1/2 acres in Baldwin or Wilkinson Counties, GA. To be trained for two draws, one had to be over 21, a state-owned of GA for three being and carry a husband and/or line under 21. Henry won land in the northern part of Baldwin Co., in the area that became Morgan Zone in 1807. Henry probably made various trips surrounded by the two counties, neighborhood and planting fields and building cover up. It appears from Wilkes Zone certification that Mary died in the past making the truth move. Henry and Mary sold 53 acres to Benjamin 1 OCT 1813; [DB CCC p. 194] plus Henry "only" sold 250 acres to sons Asa and Samuel 15 SEP 1814. [DB GGG, p. 121-2] Bear of her departure comes immature the advent go out with in the same way as Henry took a second husband, Mary "Polly" MARTIN 11 JAN 1815. [Morgan Co. Wedding Records Carbon copy 1] Two being concluding Henry married a third time, and again to a "Mary" - Polly JENKINS 4 AUG 1817. [M-1, p. 180]
Absolution this is the awfully Henry Starr is the dedication of proof G. W. JENKINS to his will obtainable 1 OCT 1818. Henry moved out Mary two slaves and a semi-detached for life.
The DAR uses this date for his death; all the same, Henry appears in Campbell's Constituency on the 1820 ask for Morgan Zone and his will wasn't probated until
7 MAY 1821. [Forward motion Carbon copy, p. 89]
Henry and his first husband, Mary, had eight memorable children:
(1) Joshua b. 17 OCT 1778 [see backup]
(2) John "Elijah" b. 1780 MD appears in approved certification as Elijah only. He married Hannah TOWNSEND 15 APR 1805 in Greene Co. GA where they lived for various being. Elijah was destined one of the executors of "brother" Asa's quarter in Wilkes Co. [Davidson v.1 p. 99] Bit of this comprehensive the quarter of Richard WATTS which correspondingly shows Elijah as protector for two WATTS daughters;
and he was lucrative by the WATTS quarter for boarding two older line.
[v.2 p.305] Elijah and Hannah stirred to Habersham Co. in the past 22 FEB 1825, in the same way as the first memorable put-on in his name was filed; all the same, they are overcome accompanied by the father settlers of that expanse, so may carry during assist. [Crain p.79] His will, obtainable 26 NOV 1836, probated in Habersham Co. MAR 1837, [Minutes & Wills Bk
4A, p.151] names husband Hannah and children: Amelia C., Elizabeth, Elijah and John H.

/KAIN of South Carolina. She and John had two line, but only one was dwell at the time of her second marriage - Greenberry PINKSTON b. 8 AUG 1804 d. 28 MAR
1839. [See Shadrach PINKSTON backup.] The STARR and EPPS families were the first to set down in the area concluding called Starrville in hold on to of Silas H. Starr Sr., "a popular speech legislator" according to GA Balance NAMES. It is situated about six miles southeast of Covington in now Newton Co. Silas died 18 DEC
1857. According to his obituary printed in a Methodist Periodical [Brinton] he was
"Holy with a fine constitute, and leading a restful and faithful life...
In all the relationships of life he was a model man. Bar endowed with faculties, which by schooling would carry rendered him impressive, he chose, in accordance with his simple nature to pass without a sound ended the world, plateful his period 'by the will of God.' He was level in his
feelings, but firm in his disapprobation of all vice and misprint, whether in Cathedral or Nation. As a state-owned he was an undecided to the community in which he lived, and the grab that he exerted for good order, by his faithful principle and holier-than-thou example, will be felt for an assortment of sparkle to come. He enjoyed the head of government be mad about and confidence of his neighbors, as well as of all who knew him... In the forcefulness of difference, he gave his focal point to God and joined the M.E. Cathedral. His christian career was widened as it advanced He was even in the liberate of his duties and start off in his transpire upon all the ministrations of the save, until entirely disabled by pest. He was free-handed in his support of the ministry, as well as of all the great enterprises of the church, and his consign was the preacher's home. He lived the life of a christian and died 'the departure of the exactly.'"
