I was looking at this again today and I think I gave you the wrong info on Adam Staring.There was more than one Adam Staring and I was looking at so many pension papers yesterday I think I mixed some of them up in my thoughts.I just want to fix it in case someone looks at this later.There was an Adam Staring who was married to a Nelly Quackenbush in 1777.He died in 1812 Montgomery Co, NY and she applied for a pension later.Seems he was already in NY at the time of his service.
There was another Adam Staring mentioned in the widows pension of one Ernestine Staring.She was Ernestine Herder or Herter.she first married one John Myers and he was killed in 1778.She second married John Bellinger and he was killed in 1780.After the close of the war (c1784) she married one Adam Staring and he died in 1815.She was definitely from the Herkimer area.The pension application has info that her parents lived at Fort Herkimer during the Revolution.This Adam and Ernestine had a daughter Ernestine born c1787 who is listed on familysearch as having married c1804 to a Simon Williams.So she does not appear to have been from MA and she doesn't match the age for Simon's wife in 1830.I guess she could have died and he could have remarried to someone older before 1830. Anyway with the discrepancies I think you are back to zero with that Simeon in Herkimer.Better to focus on the link to Dyer Williams in Butler Co.
I will see if I can find anything on Tirzah Knight at the sites I belong to.
