Note N2247Biography of James Stark

by Clovis LaFleur, May 2006

Author's comment: Much of the data presented was compiled and contributed by Gwen Boyer Bjorkman <gwenbj@seanet.com> and was greatly appreciated.

James was most likely born before 1739 to Jonathan Stark and Sarah Lacock, probably in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, their place of residence at that time. Because James was a witness to the will of Joseph Laycock, his grandfather, in 1760, he was probably over twenty-one years of age. [1] The will of Joseph Lacock was made in Hardwick Township, Sussex County, New Jersey and the daughter named Sarah Lacock was probably the mother of James.

Just before New Year's day of 1765, Jonathan Stark of Hardwick Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, died. On January 29, 1765, named as administrators of his estate were Sarah Stark, his widow, and James Stark, most likely his son. Named as fellow bondsman was Joseph Lacock, Junior, Sarah's brother reported to be a son of her father, Joseph Lacock, Senior in his 1760 will. Inventory of the estate was completed January 3, 1765 by John Laforge and Samson Dildine, valued at 121 pounds, 4 shilling, & 10 pence.7 Comparing the place and names of this document to the 1760 will of Joseph Lacock, Senior, Widow Sarah Stark was most likely the daughter named Sarah in Joseph, Senior's will while Joseph Lacock, Junior, was most likely the same Joseph Lacock named as fellow bondsman with his brother, William Lacock. James Stark and Jeames Stark, who witnessed the Joseph Lacock, Senior will, were most likely the same person. These two documents, dated five years apart, suggest the persons named were the same and that James Stark was a son of Jonathan Stark and Grandson of Joseph Lacock. [2]

Between 1765 and 1767, James moved to Loudoun County, Virginia with his brothers Joseph, and William. James was named on James Hamilton's tithable list which reported Nathan Lacock, Joseph Stark, Abner Howell, and James Stark with two tithables, the other being William Stark between 16 and 21 years of age. Hamilton's list reported persons living within the area bounded by William's Gap to Vestal's Gap to the junction of Vestal's Gap and the Blue Ridge, and then to Kittocton Mountain.[3]

Because William Stark was living in the home of James and was sixteen to twenty years of age, he must have been a brother of James, the estimated age range of James Stark (28 - 32) being too young to have had a son of sixteen. Could Daniel Stark and Joseph Stark be related? The research of Mary Kathryn Harris and Mary Iva Jean Jorgensen has demonstrated these men were not descendants of James Stark of Stafford County, Virginia. In Volume 1, Part VIII, page 1269, titled "Other Southern Starks," the Authors gave their reasons for such extensive research of these men "...we have often found descendants of James Stark (of Stafford County) living in areas where other Stark families were living. In each case, adequately proving the descendants of James Stark of Stafford Co., VA involved learning something of these other Stark families in order to be certain that they were not descendants of James Stark (of Stafford County) and that the Stark families we were researching were indeed descendants of James Stark (of Stafford County)." Their research, which will not be disputed in this discussion, provided considerable evidence these specific men with the surname Stark, recorded in the 1767 tithable list, were not descendants of James Stark of Stafford County, Virginia. The publication further suggested these men were sons of Jonathan Stark and Sarah Lacock, the reasoning being the same as earlier presented.

It would appear James and Joseph were not married by 1767 as suggested by the birth dates of their first child, nor was William likely to have been married due to his young age. James probably married his spouse, Hannah, sometime between 1767 and 1769, this marriage probably ocurring in Loudoun County, Virginia. Many researchers believe Hannah Stark, named as the mother of Margaret Stark in a 1794 Shelby County, Kentucky Marriage Bond, was the daughter of Abner Howell. However, Abner Howell was born in 1744. Because the oldest child of James and Hannah was not born until 1770, Abner would not have been old enough to have a daughter of marrying age before 1770. There has been speculation Hannah was Ann Howell, daughter of Hugh Howell and his spouse Margaret. They were the parents of Abner Howell.

I don't believe the data is sufficient to state with confidence James Stark married Ann Howell or anyone with the surname Howell. The data only suggests the possibility which cannot be confirmed but cannot completely be dismissed. Until this matter can be resolved, I can only state that some researchers believe the surname of James Stark's wife was Howell which needs confirmation before it can be stated as fact. Thus far, the data has not suggested other possible surnames for the spouse of James Stark.

The 1768 James Hamilton Cameron Parish tithable list, compiled within the jurisdiction of Loudoun County, Virginia reveals William Laycock, James Stark, William Stark, and Joseph Stark were living very close to each other. Also reported on Hamilton's list was Nathan Laycock, his residence most likely near these men. On McIlhaney's list was Francis Vineyard, William Wood, and Daniel Stark, the latter two living in close proximity to each other. On the James Hamilton list of tithables for 1769 were Nathan Laycock, Francis Vinyard (3) with sons John and James, and William Laycock. Listed on the next four lines after William Laycock were Daniel Howell, Henry Harris, James Starke, and William Schooley. On the tithable list of Craven Payton were Hugh Howell, Andrew Howell, John Howell, Abner Howell, David Howell, Thomas Howell, Henry Oxley, Jr., James McLinsay, John Howell, John Howell, Sr., and Charles Howell.[4] The last record found for James Stark was dated September 13, 1769 in the Loudoun County Court minutes. It was James Stark - vs - Elias John for a note of hand. The defendant did not appear and the plaintiff was awarded 3 pounds. Although not known with certainty, William Stark was born November 23, 1770 in Loudoun County. After 1769, no further records can be found for James Stark in Loudoun County. James next appears on a of members of the militia paid off at Pittsburgh [Fort Pitt] in October of 1775 for his partricipation in Dunmore's War. [5]

While the question of the residence of James Stark brothers between 1770 and 1775 cannot beanswered with certainty, I would speculate they may have been squatting on Pennsylvania land warrants as early as 1771 or living in the region of Pigeon Creek, Fallowfield Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania with his brother-in-law, William Wood (married to Sarah Stark, the sister of James). For religious reasons, they may have left Loudoun County to join with their Sussex County, New Jersey Baptist neighbors, escaping the tithable system of Virginia.
