I have no idea if this record belongs to the correct Starling but it does seem to indicate that the Starling family was here for some time.

Richard Sterlinge married Martha ___________ and inherited his father's lands according to his will. By 1700, Richard, then referred to as a carpenter, and his wife Martha, sold to George Corbin. Chyrugeon, 150 acres which had been purchased from Daniel Foxworth.

Richard Starling's age is determined from a deposition given by him in 1689 in Court in Northampton County, Va. when it was noted the he was "aged 20 yrs. or thereabouts." [Northampton Ct. Orders _______ p. 42]
