Dec. 10: Jonathan Stark born to William Stark and Experience Lamb, Groton, Connecticut. Source: 1) Groton, CT Baptismal Records. (Gwen Boyer Bjorkman); 2) Charles R. Stark Book titled, "The Aaron Stark Family, Seven Generations", page 11.
1715
March 3, William Stark, Sr. deeds property to his son William Stark, Jr. and his grandson, Jonathan Stark, as a gift for William Stark, Jr.'s natural life and then to his son, Jonathan, upon the death of his father, William, Jr. It would seem William Stark, Jr. would not be able to sale this property during his life time and the property would become the property of Jonathan Stark when William Stark, Jr. died. Source: Groton, New London County, CT Deed Records, Book 1, pages 341-342.
1734
Jonathan Stark witnessed a deed for Mary Insley Jr. in 1734 in Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., NJ. Question: He appears in New Jersey in 1734, age 22, and then is a resident of Groton May 5, 1736. Did he go to New Jersey with Aaron, III and John Culver, Jr. in 1732? Mary Insley was Mary Ayers, who married William Insley June 18, 1700 in Woodbridge, New Jersey. William died Nov. 21, 1720. Therefore, Mary Insley was the Widow Insley.
1736
May 5; Jonathan sold the property which would come into his posession when his father, William, Jr. died. The property, 16acres, half of that obtained, was sold to Aaron Fish, his cousin, for 64 pounds. The description of this property matches the description of the property from the 1715 deed, mentioned above. Source: Groton, New London County, CT Deed Records, Book 1, pages 341-342.
1737-1738
These would appear to be the probable years that Jonathan Stark married Sarah Lacock/Laycock based on their first son, James, probable birth in 1739. Source: Speculation by Clovis La Fleur
1739
Latest year of birth for James Stark, first son of Jonathan Stark and Sarah Laycock. On August 27, 1760, Jeames (James) Stark was a witness to the will of Joseph Lacock. If he had to be twenty-one to be a witness, then 1739 would be the latest year he could have been born.
Source: Hardwick Township, Sussex County, New Jersey; Will of Joseph Lacock dated August 27, 1760
1743-1746
1) Probable years Jonathan Stark, Jr., son of Jonathan Stark and Sarah Laycock, could have been born. He married Margaret Ball in 1765. If he was from eighteen to twenty-one years old in that year, he would have been born within the years 1743 to 1746 and was probably older than Christopher Stark.
1747
Latest year of birth for Christopher Stark, son of Jonanthan Stark and Sarah Laycock. Christopher Stark served on a jury in Loudon County, Virginia in 1768. If he had to be twenty-one to serve, this would place his latest year of birth as 1747
1750
"Tract of Land with grist-mills in Bethlehem, adjoining land of Mr. Allen to be sold or let by Jonathan Stark in Bethlehem." Pennsylvania Gazette 6 Mar 1750 (Gwen Boyer Bjorkman); According to the research of Carol S. Stark, Hunterdon County, New Jersey (This land according to the Bucks County Genealogical Society) was not in Bethlehem Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. From a letter from that society to Carol dated February 18, 1990, signed by Roberta Daymon, "Terry McNealy put the Stark reference in his book (Index to Bucks Co., Reference in PA. Gazette) because the river that feeds into the Delaware River was referred to as the "Little Delaware". Bethlehem City is about 10-15 miles from the real Delaware River then in Bucks County, PA. Jonathan ad states property one mile from the river in Bethlehem.
1751
1)Latest year of birth for Daniel Stark, Joseph Stark and William Stark, sons of Jonathan Stark and Sarah Laycock. All three were on Hamilton’s list, Loudoun Co, VA tithables in 1767. To be on the list, males had to be sixteen years old. Since they were reported first in 1767, their latest year of birth would be 1751. Daniel Stark was probably born earlier because he married his spouse Elizabeth in 1767 based on the birth of their first child May 4, 1768. Would estimate he could have been born as early as 1745 if he was 22 when he married in 1767.
