STARR Jonathan; CT,USA; 1710
GBH333
Rachel Taylor. Jonathan and Rachel's daughter was Rachel STARR b.1740,
who married Ephraim BARNUM (Grandfather of P.T. BARNUM).
I have lots of STARR info to share, and can refer BARNUM researchers to
a lot of research as well.
Thank you,

Anyone with STARR ancestors in early CT should look for connection to Dr.
Comfort STARR. There was a large genealogy written in 1879 about several
branches of the STARR family.
"A History of the Starr Family, of New England, from the Ancestor,
Dr. Comfort Starr, of Ashford, County of Kent, England, who Emigrated
to Boston, Mass., in 1635; containing the names of 6766 of his descendants
and the record and history of 1794 families." by Burgis Pratt Starr.
CS71 S7965 1879
Comfort's parents had children named Jehosaphat, Joyfull, Suretrust,
Constant and Comfort. Savage mentions Thomas as a possible brother,
but based on the other names of the children, I doubt it <g> - except that
Dr. Comfort had a son named Thomas.
I only copied parts of the book and do find in the "Middletown Branch" or
"Guilford Branch" a Jonathan b. Feb 16, 1702, but didn't copy the further
information on him. Comfort-1; Thomas-2; Comfort-3; Comfort-4; Jonathan
is that line. Comfort-4's sister Hannah, who married John SAGE is my line.
Good luck -
