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.

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

"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.

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.
