JAMES HENRY STARNES
James Henry Starnes was born ca 1839 in Tennessee. He moved
from Brittsville, Meigs County, Tennessee to Birchwood, James [now Hamilton]
Couinty, Tennessee in 1882. He died February 10, 1887. Listed in the 1880
census are James Henry Starnes, his wife, Narcissus, and children Wilma
(born ca 1862); Samantha (born ca 1868); James H. (born ca 1871); Andrew
(born ca 1873); and Stanton (born ca 1878). I am looking for information
on the parents or family of James Henry Starnes. J. Michael Frost. mfrost@cris.com
Hi Trish,I was hoping that our lines might cross but all my Starnes
are in
Hawkins and Greene co,TN.I have used the Starnes book but nobody has
any idea
where William Starnes SR and Leonard Starnes SR came
from before Greene Co
and nobody seems to know who their parents are.Thanks for the reply
and i'll
save the info incase i ever get back farther.Later,Alan Starnes
Here is my Sterns line: I am searching for possible tie-in to the Starnes/Stearns lines of NC. I am still searching for parents of William C. Sterns.
My great-great grandfather was William C. Sterns. all records show his birth as March 14, 1812, in NC In 1832 he married Lydia (Lilly) Starnes, in Wilcox Co. Ala. Lydia was dau of Frederick Starnes III & Mary Fisher
William C. and Lydia returned to NC after they were married. Their children
are:
Sarah Ann was born 7-18-1833 in NC
Joseph Asbury born 5-12-1835 died 8-20-1837 it is possible this son
was also born in NC and died in NC. (The only reference we have of this
child is the bible record that was given me by my dad's aunt)William C.
and Lydia returned to Wilcox Co. Ala where the next 2 children were born.
Mary Belmont born 8-25-1842
Robert Ervin born 9-9-1849.
We have no date when the mother (Lydia) died, but it is assumed just
after the birth of this son Robert Ervin because when her mother's estate
was probated in 1850 these 3 living grandchildren of Mary Fisher Starnes
were granted Lydia's portion of her estate and their father, William C.
Sterns was appointed as their Guardian. I have copies of all legal proceedings
from
Wilcox Co. courthouse records.
WHO WAS WILLIAM C. STERNS PARENTS???......Did he have siblings remaining in NC ? From more recent information I have several possibilities: I now need help from you Starnes families. I have drawn charts, pasted and taped yellow pages together that cover my 12' dining table and here are some places in the chart where he could fit.
3 Possibilities:
Jacob Starnes 1750-1812 md. Elizabeth South. 3 of their sons could
be his
parents---who were their children???
1. Isaac Starnes who married Agness ?
2. William Starnes who married Mary Downey in 1802
3. John D. Starnes who married Frances Day Settoon.
The information on this Jacob Starnes and Wlizabeth South family was
furnished by Mr. John South for the book "Of Them Who Left A Name Behind".
Perhaps someone of Mr. South's family can supply children names of
the above
3 sons of Jacob & Elizabeth.
Conrad Starnes 1755-1800 md. Margaret Brown ca 1778,
4 of their sons could be his parents---who were their children????
1. Jesse Starnes b ca 1776 md Rosanna Brown in 1807
2. James Starnes born ca 1781 md ???
3. Jacob Starnes b ca 1785 md. Catherine Brown in 1810
4. Frederick A. Starnes 1790-1873 md Elizabeth Salts in 1810.
Joseph Starnes II born 1797(1798) who married Catherine Bowman they
had 10 children....one was a son named William. See page 525 of the Starnes
book, "Of Them Who Left A Name Behind" No information is recorded in
the book on this son named William. What year was he born? Does anyone
out there have this information? Joseph Starnes, II and wife Catherine
Bowman family information was furnished by a Ms. Lucy Stafford of Glendale,
Arizona.
Perhaps she is still living, if not, perhaps some of her children have
her papers.
This may be another wild chase, but at least I will know to keep searching
for a place in the Starnes/Stearns/Sterns families to tie in.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Wm.A. Harbsion died bef. 1850 because Nancy is alone with the kids.
By 1880, Nancy, 75, is living with a Sallie (Sarah) Martin, 53 and son,
Owen, 20 in Meigs Co. Nancy is listed as Sallie's mother. Here
is where my confusion comes in.
Sarah is never found with Nancy and Wm. Alberto Harbison and her name
at her marriage to Owen Martin in 1844 is Sarah C. Starnes. Sarah
is b. 1826 in NC. Its possible that Nancy was married previously
to a Starnes and Sarah is the result of that marriage. Its also possible
that Nancy had Sarah out of wedlock. I need to check bastardy bonds
in NC to see if there is any record there.
I also find a probate record (property transfer between Owen Martin and a James Roddy) in Meigs Co in 1853 that lists as the Sarah's male relatives a Joshua Starnes and a Rufus Harbison. I just haven't been able to crack this one yet.
There was also a Benjamin Starnes family in Meigs in 1840:
1840 Census: Meigs Co, TN
1210001 - 2111001 pg 229
1850 Meigs Co., Tn. - appears to be the same family, but Benj. has
died.

The Curtis Cemetery was begun when David Burton "Burt" Curtis and William
Riley Curtis, Confederate Soldiers and sons of James and Nancy Hagler Curtis,
were murdered by "bushwhackers," July 4, 1864, as they were going up the
stairs in their home on the Curtis farm (later McGhee, Peter Moser, and
Starnes
home). They were buried on a small hill in the back. One of their wives
was raped. Their brother, Hezekiah "Henry" Wilson Curtis, hunted down and
arrested one of the murderers, John Denton. Henry, in turn, was arrested
by Unionists and taken prisoner to Union forces in Knoxville. He later
robbed a Monroe County store and left the area, never to return. Even though
the family was against slavery, due to the need for a mother figure they
acquired a slave woman who was allowed to marry a man on a neighboring
farm. They had several children. Many of the unidentified graves at the
Curtis Cemetery, in the area in which the Confederate buttons were found
(and the probable graves of Burt and Riley Curtis) were slaves, identified
by the bones. It is probable that these were the graves of the Curtis slaves.
Family members said it was used by the neighborhood as a slave cemetery.
The Curtis family was not notified by TVA of the re-interment.

Capt. Robert Cantrell's company (C) recruited around Smithville, became
part of the Twenty-third Regiment of Tennessee Confederate Infantry. its
commander was later elected lieutenant colonel. G. W. Hicks was elected
colonel and later Erastus D. Foster. Other promotions were of Lieuts. W.
D. Rhinehardt, Lawaon W. Lee, and A. P. Cantrell. The company saw service
in Virginia and at Shiloh. After fighting at Perryville, Murfreesboro,
Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge, and going through the Georgia campaign,
it was at Franklin and Nashville and surrendered in North Carolina. Capt.
John C. New, of Cannon County, writes: "After the Twenty-third had served
about twelve months, it was reorganized. At this time Captain Cantrell
was elected lieutenant colonel, but soon resigned. Ras Foster was elected
captain of the company, and after serving some time he left and carried
many of his men with him. The company was consolidated with mine. Zeb Lee
was a member of the company and lost a let at Chickamauga. His brother,
Lieut. Lawson Lee, was killed." Colonel Cantrell was for several years
a distinguished circuit judge of Tennessee, residing a Lebanon. He was
born November 9, 1823, and died February 9, 1903.
