Caleb Starr

The name Starr is of Irish origin, and Doctor Starr's great-grandfather, Caleb Starr, was a native of Chester County, Pennsylvania, was a Pennsylvania Quaker, and early in life went south and married into the Cherokee Indian Tribe.

FROM A LETTER FROM BETTY GENE MCGEE TO GEAN ATKINSON DATED JULY 16, 1980: "...Caleb Starr ran a mill in Evansville, Arkansas with his wife Nannie, the granddaughter of the famed Nancy Ward. Caleb was said to always keep a silo filled with corn or grain for the widows and orphans and for travellers needing help. He and Nannie must have come out in about 1825 to live on the edge of Arkansas with what are called the "Old Settlers." Many of these people were Indian women married to white men which would include them."
