- According to Harlan, "John and Mary Starr were life long residents of Old Castle, in the County of Meath, Ireland. He was a yeoman, and a member with Friends. Traditions say that the father of John Starr was a Captain of infantry in the Parliament Army during the Civil War in England. That after which he settled in Ireland, and the son resided for a time at Coatehill, in the County of Cavan." (57).
A partial biography from Cope:
"STARR, JOHN, whose father is said to have served in the Parliamentary army as a captain of infantry, and afterwards removed to Ireland, resided at Oldcastle, in the county of Meath. By Mary, his wife, he had children,— John, b. 7th mo., 1674; James, b. 10, 28, 1676; George, b. 2, 16, 1679; Mary, b. 7, 15, 1682; Elizabeth, b. 9, 12, 1684; Susannah, b. 9, 23, 1686; Jeremiah, b. 8, 17, 1690; Moses, b. 8, 27, 1692; Isaac, b. 9, 23, 1697.
"Of these, James, with Rachel, his wife, came to Pennsylvania in 1712, and settled in New Garden, afterwards removing to the site of Phoenixville. Jeremiah married, 11, 10, 1716, Rebecca Jackson, b. 3, 25, 1697, daughter of Isaac and Ann, and towards the close of the year 1717 came to Chester County and settled in Londongrove, a little northwest of Avondale."
Other family researchers show that this John's father was named Carran Starr, b. abt. 1620, though I don't know what evidence there is for this.
