The following text has been somewhat formatted as it appears in a book entitled "The Newton County, Texas Stark Families," self published by Clovis LaFleur and Pauline Stark Moore. This book  is dedicated to the ancestors and descendants of Daniel R. Stark, son of Asahel Stark who had four children named William Hawley Stark, Sarah Mariah Stark, Prudence Jane Stark, and Esahl "Asa" Lafitte Stark, all early residents of Newton County, Texas. This Volume will prove their origins back to Asahel Stark and provide details of their eventual move to Texas from Indiana and Louisiana. In this Volume {To Be Added Later although available in book form] will be presented not only those descendants named Stark, but descendants of Prudence Jane Stark  who married William Herrin, descendants of Sarah Mariah Stark  who married John Taylor Lewis, and descendants of Nancy Jane Stark who married James Herrin. John Thomas Stark was also a prominent figure in Newton County who arrived there sometime after the four siblings mentioned above. However, he is not related to the families to be discussed in this text. He will be mentioned, for there was a relationship between the families, but not discussed in detail.   The Table of Contents for Volume 3 is listed below.
