Clicking on the table of content items below will take you to pages dedicated to the Kentucky Branches of the Aaron Stark family. The Old Stark Family Association, formed about 1895 and active to about 1952, described a group of brothers arriving in Kentucky around 1785 as the "lost Stark branches." Their names were Jonathan, James, John, Joseph, Christopher, and  Daniel Stark. Through the years, there has been considerable debate on their origins and their links to  Aaron Stark of Connecticut. Many descendants of these brothers believed they were descended from General John Stark of Revolutionary War fame. This Volume attempts to resolve these issues and illustrate these brothers were the sons of Jonathan Stark and Sarah Lacock of New Jersey and will reveal Jonathan Stark was the son of William Stark, Jr. and Experience Lamb, grandson of William Stark, Sr. and Elizabeth Unknown, and great grandson of Aaron Stark [1608-1685] of Connecticut.
