Folks Huxford's William Starling was actually from Robeson/Columbus counties NC and the son of John Starling will of 1820 Columbus county. The William STarling in Johnston county NC never left Johnston county.
When William Robeson finally sold up and left NC, he supposedly moved over the state line to live for a while on his SC property before moving on into GA.
When William Robeson finally sold up and left NC, he supposedly moved over the state line to live for a while on his SC property before moving on into GA.William had a brother Stephen who lived on both sides of the NC SC state line.Stephen sold up and left the area about 1810 and moved to Twiggs county GA where he died in 1816.We know for sure that he had at least two minor daughters he may have had more childrenStephen divorced his wife Bathsheba Dawson in 1809, We think she had some of the children with her in SC at the time of the divorce.Perhaps William could be one of those children.
