Notes:

Name:
Aaron and his wife removed to the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania following their marriage about 1772, and were living there at the time of the Wyoming Massacre which occurred July 3, 1778. His wife urged him to run to his old home in Dutchess County, NY, to escape the fury of the savages, but rather he chose to stay and take his chance. The family fled to the fort and the father went forth to defend his loved ones from the cruel foe. After the troops broke and ran, Aaron and his son of the same name also fled and hid themselves in the driftwood along the river. The father was discovered by the savages and taken out and cruelly murdered before the eyes of his son. After the massacre, his widow eventually found her way back to Dutchess County, NY, taking her five children with her. Aaron Stark's name appears on the Wyoming monument as a victim of that day's tragedy.

Family/Spouse: Margaret ?. Margaret died about 1814. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
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.

James married Elizabeth CARY in 1758. Elizabeth was born on 18 Aug 1739; died on 12 Aug 1778. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
After their marriage, William and Mary went to Pawlings, Dutchess Co., NY, to live. Later, they removed to the Wyoming Valley, Penn., locating on what was known as Searle Flats, across the river from Wyoming, Penn. On the night of the massacre, July 3, 1778, they made their way to the Wilkes-Barre Fort, and with about one hundred men, women and children, started for the Delaware River, and finally found their way back to their old home in Dutchess Co., NY. In 1788, they were back again living on the farm on Searle Flats. After ten years, they removed to New Jersey, and later to Goshen, NY, where both died.

Notes:

Name:
Daniel was tomahawked by the Indians during the Wyoming Massacre, which was witnessed by his nephew, Aaron Stark, who was wounded, but escaped.

The facts about Daniel are very meager. His name does appear as a witness, together with his brother James, on a deed given by his father, Christopher Stark, to Elder Wightman, dated at Oblong, Dutchess Co., NY, Dec 20, 1769. Daniel's name also is on the monument as one of those who died during the massacre, July 3, 1778.

Family/Spouse: Elizabeth WELLS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
William's father wanted his son to become a farmer, but he did not like farming, and chose rather to be a silversmith. His father yielded at last to his desire and sent him to learn the trade. He did not learn much of it in the regular way, for his master died before his apprenticeship was ended. William, however, clung to the trade and was devoted to his work.

William was living at Bennington, VT. during the Revolutionary War, and, during the battle on Aug. 6, 1777, he was taken prisoner by the British twice, and twice escaped. From Bennington, he later removed to Easton, Washington Co., NY, where several of his children were born. Around the turn of the century, he removed to Utica, NY, where he died. His wife, Sarah, and her youngest child, Daniel, moved westward to Alabama, Genesee Co., NY, an lived with her son, James, "the pioneer."

Family/Spouse: Sarah COVILLE. Sarah was born on 27 Nov 1748 in Walloonsac, Rensselaer Co., New York; died in 1810 in Alabama, Genesee Co., New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Mary married Capt. William BREWSTER in 1775 in Lebanon, Connecticut. William (son of Ichabod BREWSTER and Lydia BARSTOW) was born on 13 Aug 1741 in Pembroke, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts; died on 10 Jul 1821 in Rome, Oneida Co., New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
Daniel was truly a roving pioneer,and in 1810, the year of his mother's death, we find him transacting business in Canada. He soon returned to the States and married at Alabama, NY, where he remained for a few years before moving on to Ohio, then to Virginia (now West Virginia). Next we find him in Lemoine Co., Michigan, from which State he backtracked down to Grand Prairie, Ill., and on South. Just where he and his wife, Anna, died we have not been able to establish. It could have been in Tennessee, where his son, Frank, settled.

Three of his sons, Thomas, Samuel and William, moved on from Tennessee and we find them living at Athens, Ala. in 1846-7-8-9. From Athens they moved to Mississippi, where Thomas died (1857-8), after which his widow and her young family continues on with Samuel and William and their families to Northern Louisiana, where they and their descendants did much to develop that part of the State.

Daniel married Anna LEOPONAlabama, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
