Editor of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir,-wtll you kindly publish brief
history of the Starke family of Vir-
sinia? The names Of Boiling and Bur-
we'll seem to be connected with the
Starbes. and I would like to know
how. b. y. s.,
Front Royal, Va.
The starke family were very early In
the colony, but when they first landed
is not known. The first we find Is
William Starke who was one of the
first vestrv of Old Blandford Church.
17aS He was one of three brothers
Philemon Thurry and William Starke
who settled early in the borough OF
Norfolk Philemon was first of King
and Queen, where he married Ann Nc
Endree, and died there, 1855. His
brother. Thurry. also lived there, and
died, 1853. There were also John, Boil
ing and Robert B. Starke. Tho first
was of Louisa county. where he took
the oath of allegiance to the King,
1742.
Boiling Starke was Of Dinwiddie
county, and was member of the VIII
liamsburg Convention Of 1776 from
that county. We find him afterwards
in the Borough of Norfolk In l7si. 1t
is presumed that this Boiling Starke
was son Of William Starke, who had
married one Of the Boiling family but
which one is not known There was
also a Dr. Robert b. Starke, of Nor
folk. in 1881, who Is said also to be a
descendant Of the Starke and Boiling
families, who must have intcrmarried
early.
OF the connection with the BurwelTs
we have no statistics. but they inter-
married with many of the best of the
older families, and their many descend
ants are scattered over the State.
