William H. Starks, b. ca. 1830, KY
Posted by: Marilyn Roth (ID *****9310) Date: December 11, 2008 at 18:35:47
In Reply to: William H. Starks of Texas about 1860 by Laurel McCullough of 408

UsGenWeb verifies the marriage, Austin Co., TX, Book D:92, Wm. H. STARKS m. 20 May 1861, Ann Elizabeth DABNEY.

I think I see William H. with a different wife in 1870, Washington Co., TX:
STARKS, William H., 40; Sibella J., 30; Willie A., 6; Edwin D., 3; Effie, 1.
Also in household, Cornelia STARKS, 26.
[I thought perhaps Cornelia would be a lead to help find the family, but I don't see any Cornelia of that age anywhere else.]

I thought I might have found William in 1850, but the Bullitt Co., KY, William STARK, b. 1830, s/o Aaron & Susan, died there in 1902. There was also a William STARK, b. 1828, KY, of Dallas Co., MO, in 1850, but he reportedly died there by 1860.


Assessment List for Austin Co., TX, 1890, has STARKS, Dick, H., & Hy. At least one Dick STARKS on the 1880 census was black. I don't know whether Hy. means Henry. A black Richard had a daughter Cornelia, Austin Co, TX, 1880.

The 1880 census, Precinct 1, Austin, TX, DABNEY:
E. W., 58, VA VA VA, farmer & minister
Hannah S. {G?}, 62, KY VA VA
Dau. Virginia L., 17, TX
Married dau. Emma J. BROWN, 29, KY, & grch. Hattie D., 3, & James BROWN, 2, TX.
Grdau. Willie A. STARKS, 15, & grson. Edwin D. STARKS, 13, b. TX.

Edwin Winston DABNEY (28 Sep. 1821, King Wm. Co., VA - 29 Sep. 1896, Thorpe Springs, Austin, TX, s/o Albert Gallatin DABNEY) m. cousin Hannah Gwathmey/Guathmey DABNEY (1817 - 2 July 1895, Austin Co., TX) d/o Hannah WINSTON & Isaac DABNEY. There is an extensive file you can Google for the DABNEY family.

What do you know about Willie A. & Edwin Dabney STARKS that might provide clues?
