[Previous: Phebe Stark Time Line] [Next: Aaron Stark Descendants Report - First Three Generations] Prepared by Clovis LaFleur, January, 2002 1701-04 Daniel Stark was probably born sometime between these years. Assuming he is the youngest child of William Stark, Sr. and Elizabeth, he must have been born after Phebe was baptized in the Stonington First Congregational Church July 6, 1701. Because we can find no record of the Baptism of Daniel in this church, we must conclude that his father and mother had become members of the First Baptist Church of Groton by the time of his birth. The latest year of birth for Daniel would seem to be 1704. He was a witness to a deed transaction dated Aug. 26, 1725. This deed was between William Stark, Sr. and his son-in-law, Thomas Walsworth, giving property to Thomas and his spouse, Phebe Stark. He would have to be 21 years old or older to be a witness. This would set his latest year of birth as 1704, based on the date of this transaction. Source 1: The Aaron Stark Family, Seven Generations, by Charles R. Stark, published 1927, page 2 records the baptism date of Phebe. Source 2: FHL Film #4293 Groton, New London Co, CT First Book of Records 1705-1723, Book 1, page 197 shows Daniel was a witness to this deed dated Aug. 26, 1725.

The May 6, 1728 deed could have been a wedding gift to the newly wedded couple. Source: The Aaron Stark Family, Seven Generations, by Charles R. Stark, published 1927, page 14; This is the source of the name Sarah Culver who was Daniel Stark's first wife. [Author's Comment: It is believed Sarah Culver was the daughter of Joseph Culver, Jr. and Mary Stark. Mary Stark was the daughter of Aaron Stark, Jr. and Mehitable Shaw. Therefore, Daniel and Sarah were cousins. Sarah Culver was the daughter of Joseph Culver and Mary Stark. Mary Stark was the daughter of Aaron Stark, Jr. and Mehitable Shaw.]
1730 Mar. 10, 1729/30; Daniel sells 200 acres to John Smith for the sum of 1000 pounds. John Smith was probably the stepson of Elizabeth "Stark" Smith, daughter of Aaron Stark, Sr. who married Nehemiah Smith. Source: FHL Film #4295 Groton, New London Co, CT Third Book of Records, Book 3, page 7.

1732 This is the estimated year of birth of Daniel Stark, Jr. to Daniel Stark, Sr. and Sarah Culver. [Source: Ralph M. Stoughton, The Three Daniel Starks in Groton, Connecticut, 1755 - 1758, self-published in 1955, Gill, Massachusetts. Quote, pages 2 & 3: "Daniel Stark, Jr. son of Daniel and Sarah (Culver) Stark has been omitted in 'The Aaron Stark Family', and the following is cited to establish his identity.....From the foregoing it is evident that Amos Stark, Sally Guyant and Mary Starr (or Stark) were the children of the Daniel unlisted in the genealogy. Born (Daniel Stark, son of Daniel and Stark Stark) about the year 1732, he was of age when his father made his will, and was co-executor with his step-mother. He undoubtedly was married at that time."] [Author's Comment: This article by R. M. Stoughton reveals that Daniel Stark, No. 94 on page 14 in the Charles R. Stark publication cited above, was not the son of Daniel Stark, No. 20, but the son of his brother, William Stark, Jr. who married Experience Lamb. The unknown Daniel Stark discovered by R. M. Stoughton was the son of Daniel Stark, No. 20 in the CRS text. See complete Stoughton article at: "Chapter 10 Attachment: Three Daniel Starks of Groton, Connecticut"]

Wit Susanna Whiteman, ???? Whiteman. Ack and recd 18 Mar 1733/4.
1739 Daniel's daughter Sarah is mentioned in his will as the eldest daughter, hence would be older than Desire and born at sometime before Desire. This would place her latest year of birth as 1739 if she was born a year earlier than Desire Stark. Source: The Aaron Stark Family, Seven Generations, by Charles R. Stark, published 1927, page 14.
1740 Desire Stark was born before the year 1740. She was a witness to a deed transaction between her brother Daniel Stark, Jr. and Timothy Wightman, March 27, 1761. To be a witness she would have been 21 years old or older. Hence her latest year of birth would be 1740. Source: Film #4294; Groton, New London Co, CT Second and Fourth Book of Records, Book 4, page 225.
1743 Nathan Stark was born in the year 1743 to Daniel Stark and Sarah Culver. Nathan was named in his father's will to be discussed later. Nathan died in 1830 at the age of 87 years. Source: The Aaron Stark Family, Seven Generations, by Charles R. Stark, published 1927, page 25. Individual #95. Quote "Nathan [Daniel #20, William #5, Aaron #1], d. 1830, age 87 yrs."
1744 It would seem Sarah Culver died sometime after or giving birth to Nathan. Nathan is the youngest child listed as a child of Sarah. Source: Clovis La Fleur Speculation on July 25, 2001. At sometime after the death of Sarah, Daniel Stark, Sr. married Mrs. Judith Fitch, most likely a Widow of Mr. Fitch who had one son named Joseph. Joseph was mentioned in Daniel's Will as "son of his said wife (Juda]." Source: The Aaron Stark Family, Seven Generations, by Charles R. Stark, published 1927, page 14.
1754 May 8, 1754; Daniel appears to have sold a portion of the homestead property he received from his father in 1728 to Caleb Haines for the sum of 300 pounds. Part of the description of this property refers to "hill formally called Stark's" with other landmarks similar to the original Aaron Stark, Sr. homestead.

[Author's Comment: This shows the given name of Daniel, Sr.'s second wife who was named Mrs. Judith Fitch in the CRS book. Daniel, Jr. was named executor of Daniel, Sr.'s will] Mar. 27, 1761; Daniel then sold the above property on the same date he purchased it from his Step-mother, to Timothy Wightman for the sum of 42 pounds, 7 acres. Source: Film #4294; Groton, New London Co, CT Second and Fourth Book of Records, Book 4, page 225.
