Editorial Comment

By Clovis LaFleur, July 2008

Emily Stark, Ida Stark, and Jennie Stark issued invitations to their near relatives to meet at a picnic at Chapman's Falls, Millington, Connecticut on August 13th, 1895. Twenty-three responded to the invitations, and the occasion was so thoroughly enjoyed that it was decided to continue them, and for three succeeding years similar gatherings were held at Baker's Pavilion, a short distance from the Falls.

By the year 1903, the Association had a membership of 53 members and enough funds to have a yearbook printed and distributed. In 1903, the reunion was held on August 20, 1903 and the following are transcriptions of the yearbooks published by the Association which were continued, accept for a few years, continuously until the Association disbanded after 1952.

In it's infancy, the Stark Family Association membership consisted of descendants of Aaron Stark [1608-1685]. The membership later included descendants of Archibald Stark of New Hampshire (father of General John Stark of Revolutionary War fame) and James Stark of Stafford County, Virginia. 

In the 1903 yearbook, the story was told of of how John Muirhead saved King James IV of Scotland from a charging bull and was given the surname Stark by a grateful King. The descendants of Aaron Stark adopted the coat-of -arms resulting from this event; registered in1672 in England by the Scottish Stark Family of Killermont ¾ one version of this coat-of-arms presented by the Association on the title page of each of the yearbooks published.

A recent Stark Family DNA project has revealed the direct male descendants of Aaron Stark, when compared to the DNA results of direct male Descendants of Archibald Stark and James Stark ¾ are not related and the odds greatly favor that they have not shared a common male ancestor within thousands of years. However, the direct male descendants of James and Archibald were found to be related and may be descendants of the Stark Family of Killermont.
