William Stark (Junior) & Experience Lamb Timeline]
Children of William Stark, Sr. & His
Spouse, Elizabeth
William
Stark (Senior) and Aaron Stark (Junior) had sons who would pass down the
Stark surname to their sons and grandsons. John Stark had two daughters
and the other children of Aaron Stark [1608-1685] were female. All males
living today with the surname Stark --- who descend from Aaron Stark
[1608-1685] --- are descendants of one of these two men.
William
Stark (Senior) had three sons named William (Junior), Christopher, and
Daniel and one daughter named Phoebe. William Stark (Junior) was born
before 1689 in the region that became Groton, New London County,
Connecticut in 1705. The estimated date of birth is based on a deed
William (Junior) witnessed in 1710. If he was required to be 21 years of
age to be a witness, then William (Junior) was born before this date. He
died before 1736. According to one record, his place of death was in
Long Island, New York. William (Junior) married Experience Lamb April
13, 1710, in Groton, New London County. She was the daughter of Isaac
Lamb and his wife, Elizabeth. Experience was born before 1695 (but no
earlier than 1685), possibly in New London County, but probably in
Massachusetts.
The
oldest son of William (Junior) was Jonathan Stark who moved to New
Jersey about 1732. Jonathan's descendants would move to Virginia,
pennsylvania, and Kentucky. before eventually settling in Indiana by
1820.
Christopher
Stark was born before 1695 in New London County and died in 1777 in the
Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania (near present day Wilkes-Burr). He married
Joanna Walworth April 1, 1722 in Groton, New London County. She was the daughter of William Walworth and
Mary Abigail Seaton. Joanna was born in October of 1699 in New London County and
died after 1777, most likely in Duchess County, New York. Christopher
lived in Groton until abut 1756, aat which time he moved to Dutchess
County, New York. This was a temporary move before all of his family
moved to the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania (near present day
Wilkes-Burr).
Phebe
Stark was born about 1700 in New London County. She married Thomas
Walworth before 1725, most likely in Groton. Thomas was the brother of
Joanna Walworth who married Phebe's brother, Christopher. They moved
with Christopher and his family to the Wyoming Valley.
Daniel
Stark was born between 1700 and 1704 in New London County and died
between December 30, 1757 - January 27, 1758 in Groton, New London County,
Connecticut. Before 1725, he married first, Sarah Culver in Groton. She was born
in 1710 in Groton and died after 1743 in Groton. Sometime between 1743
and January of 1758, Daniel married Judith Fitch, mentioned as his now
wife in his will. Daniel and his family did not leave Groton.
Below
is a brief summary of each of the children of William Stark (Senior) and
