James STARK

1734 - 1777  (43 years)

• Name	James STARK  [1, 2]
  	James removed with his family from Dutchess Co., NY, into the Wyoming Valley Penna., probably in the spring of 1773. He settled at Wilkes-Barre in a home of log structure. Four years later, his wife became a widow, but remained in her home until the day of the massacre, July 3, 1778. She waved herself by hiding in a cornfield, and, upon finding that all of their buildings and contents were destroyed, she gathered what little she could, and taking her family of small children with her, she went all the way afoot back to her old home in Dutchess County. When she arrived at her sister's home, she was a picture of utter misery and destitution. She never recovered from this dreadful experience, and, on the 12th day of August, 1778, she passed away. [1]
