STAHR, STARR posted by Lisa Starr on Sunday, March 2, 1997 

 
I am looking for any information on a Charles Montgomery STARR including parents, etc.. My information shows he was born January 18, 1890 in Shelbyville. Any other information on STARR (also possibly spelled STAHR) family would be most helpful. I am told we are related to the STARR that married into the Cherokee Tribe through Caleb STARR sometime in the late 18th century and that we are also related to the notorious outlaw Belle STARR. I have not been able to make the connection yet through family lines. Charles Montgomery STARR would be my grandfather. Thank you for any insight or help.

Looking for next earlier generation of William KINDEL b.1781 VA d.ca1865 AR m.28 Jan 1800 Greene Co TN Elizabeth WEBB b.1783 TN. I believe William KINDEL lived in Shelby Co KY about 1800- 1810; Cornstalk Militia records show William KINDEL/KINDLE was commissioned an ensign and then lieutenant 1801-1802 in Shelby Co Hasskarl's Shelby Co marriage book shows: "21 May 1804: John CLARKSON married Mary WEBB. Bond: Wm Kindle. Permission: William WEBB." My KINDEL likely related to KENDALL of Jefferson & Shelby Cos. Please contact me re KINDEL, KENDALL, WEBB, CLARKSON of Shelby and Jefferson Cos.
