Looking for family members and records that show parents, siblings, marriage, land of
ROBERT R. STARLIN, b.abt.1825 in Hamilton,(OH?). Married MARY M SMITH in 1856. Mary was
born Nov. 14, 1841 in Greene Cnty,IN.
Mary and Robert had 5 children: Jacob b.1858, Clementine b.1860, Jeannette b.1862, Adaline
b.1866, Frank b.1876. Jacob born in Ohio, girls b. in Indiana, Frank in Iowa (according to
obits).
Robert mustered in at Terre Haute in 1862. He may have lived in the area. Was a member
of the 85th Indiana Infantry.
Mary's mother, CINDERELLA SULTZER (sp?) was born in Virginia on March 6, 1800, and
when quite small came with her father, a Dr. Sultzer, to Kentucky where he took a
homestead. She moved then to Ohio and back to Indiana. She married a ?SMITH and had Mary
and brother William. Then married an ISRAEL STARLIN. Mary, William and Sarah Starlin are
listed on 1850 Stafford Cnty Census. Another daughter, Adeline, was born in Greene Cnty in
Aug, 1850.
Israel died in 1853 but do not know anything more about him (previous marriage? or
parents). CINDERELLA died in Indiana and was married 3x. Don't know father's name,
other husband's name, or where she is buried.
I have records of Robert from civil war and after their move to state of Washington.
Don't have anything before 1880. All other info is from obits.
Also noted in Mary's obit was that the family commonly dropped the "G" from
their name so sometimes listed as STARLING.
Any leads on Robert and Mary and other family members is greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance to anyone who has info.
