  • Early Starrs in Kent &New England
    **************************** Early Starrs in Kent &New England **************************** by HOSEA STARR BALLOU * Honorary Governor of THE SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS President Emeritus of THE STARR FAMILY ASSOCIATION Member of THE BUNKER HILL MONUMENT ASSOCIATION THE UNIVERSALIST HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY **************************** BOSTON STARR FAMILY ASSOCIATION 1944 Arranged and Edited by WILLIAM CARROLL HILL Editor and Historian The New England Historic Genealogical Society 9 Ashburton Place, Boston, Mass. THE RUMFORD PRESS CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE PRINTED IN THE U. S. A. PREFACE "Early Starrs in Kent and New England" is the compilation of a series of articles on the forbears of the Starr family in this country and England prepared for and published in The New England His­ torical and Genealogical Register between the years 1935 and 1944. They were prepared by Hosea Starr Ballou of Brookline, Mass., who had spent many years in this country and abroad in genealogical research. Having previously published the "Life of Hosea Ballou II," "Wm. Blaxton, The First Bostonian" and "The Harvard Yard Before Dunster", Mr. Ballou spent much of the last decade of his life in a study and analysis of the data on the Starr Family. Not having in mind a formal history of the family, Mr. Ballou contributed frequently to The Register of such material as he had at hand at the time, with the result that the articles, while containing a wonderful amount of new and most valuable information, pre­ sented no chronological sequence, being classified in general as "Dr. Thomas Starr in the Pequot War", although the text embraced far more than this narrative.
