Pop-up Pedigree

     Augusta* Ernestine Stark was born on 17 October 1853 at Stargard, Germany.¹ She was the daughter of Carl* Heinrich Stark and Marie* Dorothea (?). Augusta* Ernestine Stark married Henry* Tigges, son of Franz* Adam Tigges and Elisabeth Pott, before 27 December 1875. Augusta* Ernestine Stark died on 15 January 1890 at OR at age 36.¹
     Augusta* Ernestine Stark appeared on the census of 1880 at Portland, Multnomah Co., OR.² 14 Nov 1997: I found Eunice Sylvester, age 89, living at 11917 SW Steamboat Drive, Beaverrton, OR 97008-7004, phone: 503-644-3070. She gave me much information and many photos. Her grandmother was Emma Stark, who married Rheinhold Sylvester. Her father was Fred Sylvester. According to her, Rheinhold ran away from home in Germany to avoid military service. He went to sea and eventually became a first mate. He was asked to become a captain but chose to give up the sea, saying he had been shipwrecked three times and was the only survivor twice. He was afraid his luck would run out. He then married Emma. They lived in New York and moved west in a covered wagon. They left Chicago a year after the Chicago Great Fire (10/8/1871) and arrived in Portland a year before the Portland Great Fire (8/2/1873).

This last sentence is probably not true, since it is likely the entire family moved west together after 1875. Since Carl Stark and Henry Tigges were both painters, it may be that the Great Fires sparked their interest in going west to find work in reconstruction after the fires.
Augusta was Emma's sister. There is also a Martha Piert living at 51567 Oak Grove Dr., Scappose, OR 97056, phone: 503-543-3928 who is related to me in the same way Eunice is on the Stark side.

Carl* Heinrich Stark (M)
b. between 19 November 1825 and 1826, d. 10 July 1898, #1617

     Carl* Heinrich Stark was born between 19 November 1825 and 1826 at Stargard, Germany; As of 2003, there are at least two towns named Stargard that were in Germany at this time. One is now in Poland; the other is Burg Stargard, located south of Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Political District 1 in Germany. This address is 17094 Burg Stargard.¹ He married Marie* Dorothea (?) before 1847. Carl* Heinrich Stark died on 10 July 1898.
     Carl* Heinrich Stark immigrated on 19 March 1864 to Ship: City of Baltimore, New York, New York Co., NY; from Liverpool, England; shows origin as Germany; with Maria (age 34), Franz (14), Emma (11), Augusta (8). These ages are not correct. See Birth records, per censuses, for each.² He was employed as (an unknown value) at painter. He was naturalized on 9 November 1874 at 326 E. 56th St., New York, New York Co., NY.³ He appeared on the census of 1880 at Portland, Multnomah Co., OR; shows Charles Stark (age 50, b. Prussia, occ. painter) with wife Mary (50, Prussia, midwife), son-in-law Henry DEUS(sic) (35, Prussia, barber), daughter Gussie Deus (28, Prussia, keeping house), granddaughter Mary Deus (4, NY), and Pearly Schroeder - other. Mary Deus is my grandmother, Henry and Gussie are my great grandparents. Note spelling: name should be Tigges!⁴ According to family lore, Carl and his family were in Chicago after the Chicago Great Fire (10/8/1871) and in Portland after the Portland Great Fire (8/2/1873). Since he was naturalized in New York City in 1874, they must have moved later. Since he was a painter, I wonder if he moved to those cities to find work after all the destruction that had occurred. The family was in Oregon by 1880.

He d. in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., Mass., 10 June, 1809. Of hisearly life little is known. He was graduated at Yale College in class of1755; then studied law in Litchfield, Conn., and was subsequentlyadmitted to practice. In 1762 he removed to Providence, R. I., where hefollowed mercantile pursuits in which he was eminently successful. Whilea resident of Providence, he was engaged in foreign trade with Englandand Holland. He established a depot and office at Pawtucket in 1770. Hepurchased from persons in Boston, a potash establishment, located inPawtucket. He then built a brick house in Pawtucket at the junction of Wolcott andMain streets and moved there. The house was standing as late as 1868. Heformed a partnership with his son, Oliver Starkweather, about 1779, thefirm name being 'Ephraim Starkweather & Son.' The business was veryprofitable until the great financial disturbance which prevailed inEurope during the closing years of the last century which brought ruin tocorrespondents abroad. However Ephraim Starkweather was enabled to retirefrom business with what was then regarded, perhaps, as a considerablefortune. He took great interest in public affairs. At a public meeting in1773 he made an address, subject, 'The grievance of English Rule.' He wasappointed chairman of the committee of correspondence which kept upcommunications with other towns of the colony and prepared instructionsto be sent to the representative of the towns in the General Court. Theletter of instructions which he prepared breathed a spirit of loyalty tothe Crown, coupled with the firmest determination to preserve, at allhazards, the liberties of the good people of Massachusetts Bay from anyand all encroachments to the part of the mother country. It illustratedthe feeling of the times and is well worthy of perusal. It may be foundpreserved in Bliss's 'History of Rehoboth.' Ephraim Starkweather actedfrequently as moderator at the town meetings of Rehoboth; he was for manyyears justice of the peace; was a representative of the town in theGeneral Court in the years 1775 and 1778; was twice elected State Senatorfrom Bristol County, serving as such during the years 1780-81-82-83 andalso served for three years as a member of the Executive Council ofMassachusetts, during the governorship of John Hancock. In 1779-80 he wasa member of the Constitutional Convention. He was a person of much natural dignity and reserved in his manners. Hewas honored with many public trusts and was universally respected, notonly for his ability but for his uprightness of character. They weremembers of the Congregational church.

     8. 3JOHN STARKWEATHER (2John, 1Robert), the third child of John and Ann[(???)] Starkweather, was born in Ipswich, Mass., 16 Sept., 1680; was m. in Preston, Conn., by theRev. Salmon Treat, the pastor there, 28 Dec., 1708, to Mary Herrick, dau.of Ephraim and Judith [(???)] Herrick. His wife was admitted to thechurch in the South Society of Stonington 4 July, 1714. He was admittedto the church in the North Society of Preston 11 Nov., 1720; and therecords of this latter church show '4 Nov. 1762 among ye names of yemembers of ye church when ye Revrd Mr Levi Hart settled with us,' 'ye WdMary Starkweather.' He d. in 1750; and his wife d. 16 Jan'y, 1786, inPreston aged 96 years (according to the church record). John Starkweatheris said to have been thrown from a horse in Roxbury street while on avisit there; or, according to another tradition, while taking a drove ofcattle to Boston; and to have died there shortly afterwards. There is inthe Roxbury, Mass., burial-ground a gravestone, whether a headstone or afoot-stone could not be determined, though probably the latter, inscribedas follows:-- 'MR JOHN STARKWEATHER' Nothing else than this is cut on the stone, not even the year-date. Adoubtful family-tradition states that the grave of Robert Starkweather,the original emigrant, is near this grave. The former is always called 'John Starkweather of Stonington' in therecords of the Preston church, where he attended worship; for the reasonthat his lands lay within, as those of his father probably lay justacross, that re-entrant angle which forms the southern boundary of thetown of Preston--the so-called N. W. corner of Stonington. This sectionwe are inclined to think was the hive of the Starkweathers. The followingdeed is in evidence:--'Mr. James Noyes minister of the Gospell inStonington' sells 21 Apr., 1705, to Timothy and John Starkweather ofStonington for 'œ20 in silver money' one hundred acres of 'Land scituate& Lying in ye bounds of Stonington towards the north-West Corner of SaidTowne bounds, on the East by Land formerly Layd out to Capt JohnStanton,' etc. The children of John and Mary [Herrick] Starkweather are:-- 27.

Pop-up Pedigree

     John Starkweather was born on 2 August 1646 at Roxbury, Suffolk Co., MA.¹ He was the son of Robert Starkweather and Jenet* Roberts. John Starkweather married Ann (?). John Starkweather died on 21 August 1703 at Preston, CT, at age 57.¹
     SECOND GENERATION. 4. 2JOHN STARKWEATHER (1Robert) is the only son of Robert and Jeannette[Roberts] Starkweather of whom we can get any record. He was b. inRoxbury, Mass., and bapt. there 2 Aug., 1646; m. in (???) Ann [(???)],who is said by a most improbable tradition to be a descendant of the oldNarragansett, King Philip. She d. in Preston, Conn., in 1727. Their earlymarried life was spent in Ipswich, Mass., from whose records we excerptthe following:-- Ipswich Town-Record, 'February 13, 1678. A list of the names of those??'sons that have right of comonage acording to law & order of thisTowne. Starkweather for Appleton.' (This memorandum is also in 'The Commoners Record,' which contains thefollowing:-- '1702. List of persons who have right to Comonage: 1. Lt. Coll. Jno Appleton.......... 2d. by his Father's entry to ye house Starkweather lived in Anno 1678.') 'May the 21st 1688. John Starkweather chosen keeper of the pound whoshall have for his paines according to former usage.' The next choice of pound-keeper on record is:-- 'Att a meeting of ye Select(???)March 16th 169 2/3.... ......And ThosFossey is appoynted Pound Keeper for this year, who shall have two penceper head for horses & grown cattle, but for calves sheep & swine shallhave but one peny per head in money, for his paines & care therein.' The first Preston, Conn., mention of John Stark-weather is:--'1694 Agust26 wee hose Names are under ritten doe thanck fully exsept of Capt.masons gift of Land............John Starkwether' (among others). That gift of land was probably his beginning in life, and JohnStarkweather must have had strong qualities to have become the public manthat he did, starting, as he seems to have done, in such poverty. On 22 Aug., 1698, John Starkweather was chosen a 'list gatherer,' as wellas on 27 May, 1700; on 26 Dec., 1700, and on 8 Dec., 1701, he was chosena 'fence-viewer;' on Jan'y 5, 1698, and on Dec. 30, 1702, he was chosen a'select man;' he was one of the three 'selectmen' of Preston who in 1698petitioned the Legislature of Connecticut to establish a church in thetown; the 29th day of Dec., 1699, he and Hopestill Tyler were chosen to'lay out the Buring place,' it being 'one acre of the ministry land;' the8th day of Dec., 1701, he and John Parke and William Billings were chosen'to take the ackount of the areredgs of dets in the towne;' the 24th dayof Dec., 1702, he was chosen one of three 'to dauid the Law booksacording to the List;' on the 30th day of Dec., 1702, he was chosen oneof 'a comiti to setle a schole in towne acording to Law;' and again onthe 3d day of Feb'y, 170 2/3 he ('Mr Starkweather,' a title ever appliedto him in the town-records) and 'goodman branch, goodman Gears andgoodman Lenerson' are chosen a committee to see that the meeting-house befinished. John Starkweather represented the town of Preston in the Legislature in1702. He d. in Preston 21 Aug., 1703. A rude slab, inscribed I. S., inthe Preston city burying-ground marks his grave. 'Mrs. Anna Starkweather' was received into full communion 14 April, 1706,by the church (Congregational) in the South Society of Preston (i. e. thenow Preston City church). Said Anna, the church records show, wasdisciplined 5 Oct., 1709 'for her being faulty by lying and obstinatetherein.' She confesses 28 Feb'y, 1711, and is,forgiven by the church. The New London, Conn., Probate records and files show the following:-- Preston August 30, 1703 wee hose Names are under written having taken theinvatary of Mr. John Stark. waber desaced.
