Yes, James Logan Starr was married to Florence Ikerd. They had Five sons: Atlee, Norman, Roscoe, Fred, and My grandfather James Freed. My Father, James Freed,Jr. said Atlee moved to Indianapolis, the rest remained in Lawrence county. There were also two girls, one is Bess(Miller) the other I can't remember her name, but she married a Dalton.

This information is very much appreciated, as obviously for us it was a missing link.

Are you still a resident of Lawrence County. I would love to be able to keep in contact with you. Atlee had at least several sons and at least the ones I'm aware of are no longer living.

Is your name Sam Starr by chance?

Barb,
My name is Steve, and yes, I still live in Lawrence county. My Mother, father, and two brothers, a couple aunts still live here also. You can reach me at Smstarr1@aol.com.

Thank you for the info, but Freeland J is wrong. It should be James Freed, he was my grandfather. Do you have anything more on Jacob from Lincoln Cty. NC? Could he have bee a son of Casper/Gasper?

Hello,

No Jacob was not a son of Casper. However, based on the DNA study, they are likely related. Casper might be his uncle.

Hello,

Just like today, it's often the case that our ancestors went by their middle names.

His WWI draft record records his name as James Freeland Starr born 17 July 1889. He also signed his name that way. He was a farmer near Tunnelton, Indiana in June of 1917. He had blue eyes and light brown hair.

cheers,
Vicki

Vicki,

If I understand you correctly, the following is likely according to DNA study. Please verify that I am understanding this accurately.

James Logan Starr m. Florence Ikerd was the son of Cornelius Starr m. Miriam Litten was the son of Philip Starr m. Elizabeth Fry may have been the son of Jacob Starr b. abt. 1765 and living nearby in the 1810 census. This Jacob was probably a nephew of Casper/Jasper Starr according to the dna study. Is this the Casper Stoehr line out of the Palatine in Germany? Or is this from one of the English lines? Any additional information on this?

Thanks.

Barb Starr

Thanks Vicki. This clears up one thing. Atlee's first name was William. I had wondered where the name William had originated, as one of his grandsons was named William.

Hello Barb,

So, DNA studies don't prove specific relationships. However, the census records document the later relationships pretty well. Early relationships are documented by other records. Phillip Starr's relationship to his father Jacob in Lincoln County, NC is based on a land record. Phillip's relationship to his children is documented via a son's estate records.

The Guilford Co., NC Starr brothers (Adam, John and Jacob) are proven to be related to Casper Starr who came out of Virginia into Rowan Co, NC via DNA records.

It is believed that Jacob of Lincoln County is the same fellow as Jacob of Guilford Co. We have only recently located a male Starr descendent of Jacob willing to participate in the DNA study. Many of Jacobs descendents daughtered out.
