Notes and Suggestions

1. The Life of General John Stark of New Hampshire. By Howard Parker Moore (New York, 1949), 539 pp. including index
2. Stark Family Y-DNA Project

• The Genetic Genealogy Report based the lineage from William Stark of Dullutur to Archibald Stark of New Hampshire on the publication; "The Family of General John Stark of New Hampshire, by Jane Elizabeth Stark Maney.1 Because members of Group 2 have been proven to be genetically related this publication provides the basis for the argument that all of the members of Group 2 are descendants of William of Dullutur. This discussion will provide source data and analysis provided by the Maney publication and that of Harris and Jorgensen2 as documented proof of the lineage from William to Archibald.
• William Stark of Dullutur
• The Maney publication reports:
• "William3 Stark (John2, John1 Muirhead/Stark) was born abt. 1520, and died abt. 1571. He married A. Fleming 1539. The wife of William Stark of Dullutur, so called, was of the peerage. The Fleming family lived near Kilsyth. They had four children.
• The Stark Family was closely associated with the Fleming family as well as other influential families of that area of Scotland. The Starks never married into Royalty, as indicated by their coat-of-arms. They probably were however, members of the "Landed Gentry."
• Dullutur is located near the village of Cumbernauld, also clse to the forest of Muirhead, (1 to 1 1/2 miles).
• William Stark of Dullutur was probably the son of the eldest son of John Muirhead/Stark, the man who saved the life of King James IV. The name of this eldest son has not been found in the records. John Muirhead/Stark, our direct ancestor, probably continued to live in the area of the Cumbernauld Forest.
• Gazeteers state that Auchenstarry was a village located near Cumbernauld on the Forth and Clyde Canal, both hamlets very close to Dullutur.
• William Stark of Dullutur married a daughter of the prominent Fleming and was probably given a life estate during her lifetime. This estate would have been returned to her estate upon his death. In 1598 there is recorded a letter of reversion to the Fleming family, given by John Stark, heir of William of Dullutur.3"
• The four children were: William Stark of Auchenstarry (the heir); John Stark of Auchenvole; Margaret Stark who married James Rankene; and Robert Stark writer of Edinburgh.
• The H & J publication referenced three sources that most likely connect William Stark of Dullutur to the Fleming family and a son named John Stark.4
• "Register of the Privey Council of Scotland"
• 1578. Complaint of Johnne Levingstoun of Doypace younger that by letters under his Majesty's signet he had been "constitute his Majesteis chalmerlane, factor and bailie of the lands of Enzie, Ouchtirmany, Thankertoun and Biggar" with some exceptions "and likewise keeper of the place and fortilice of Cummernauld" which formerly "pertinet to umquhile (late) Johnne, sometime Lord Fleming: but had come back into his Majesty's lands "through the process of orderly forfeiture led against the said Lord "yet" Fleming of Biggar, William Stark of Dullutur and other keepers of the said place and fortilice, will not render and deliver the same to the said Johnne Levingstoun." There had been summons to Fleming and Stark to render the same within 24 hours or appear before the Council and show cause to the contrary, and now "the said Johnne Levingstoun of Donypace compeirand personally and the said Fleming and William Stark not comperand letters are ordered to put them to the horn.
• "The Scots Peerage" by Sir James Belfour Paul, Vol. VIII, 1911 William Fleming of Bord had on Jan. 3, 1502/03 a charter from John, Lord Fleming of the lands of Nether Auchenreoch in the barony of Auchtermony in Excambion for those of Mezean in the barony of Olivercastle. James Fleming of Bord, (great-great-grandson of William Fleming of Bord) had a precept of clare constat from Barbara, Lady Fleming, of the lands of Nether Auchenreoch Apr. 2, 1571. John Fleming of Bord gave sasaine on Oct. 12, 1574 to John Fleming of Ballach and had a letter of reversion from John Stark son of William Stark of the lands of Nether Auchenreoch on Nov. 3, 1576 and agina on Jan. 10, 1758/79. Agnes of Bord had a service Oct. 27, 1597 as daughter and heir of the deceased John Fleming of Bord, and a precept of clare constat from John, Lord Fleming, of the lands of Bord, Croy and others on Jan. 30, 1597/98, and with consent of John Lindsay, younger of Covington, her apparent husband resigned the said lands of Bord to John, Lord Fleming, on Feb. 1, 1597/98.
• "Glasgow Protocols" Vol. XI, No. 3387, Apr. 1598 Agnes Fleming only daughter and heir of John Fleming of Bord and John Lindsay, Junior, of Covington, her future spouse, and George Houston of Park, John Stark of Auchenvole and Robert Fleming in Ballach, her curators. Produced a precept whereby John lord Fleming baron of the barony of Lenzie charged Thomas Somervell in Over Croy as bailie to give to the said Agnes as heir of her father sasine of the lands of Bord lying in the lordship and barony of Lenzie and shir of Dumbarton. Also of all and sundry lands of Nather Auchenreoch in the parish of Campsie and Shire of Stirling. Precept subscribed and sealed by Lord Fleming at his castle of Cumbernauld Jan. 30, 1597/98.
