William Harrison Starner
My x mother in law Gail, I hate calling her that. My friend, Gail Young, We were talking family and she needed me to do some research on her Starner family line for her.
I found William Harrison Starner and well what struck me as odd is William Harrison is the patriarch of my Harrison clan. Naming traditions, children were named sometimes after close neighbors and friends. After researching it further I realized that Williams family was just very political and no connection to my Harrison. The other thing is William Starner date of birth is the same as mine and Gails son. The year of birth is near mine. There are a number of other things, one of his kids married and relative of my best friend. Sooo yes… karma, spooky whatever!!!
William Harrison Starner was born 24 May 1844 in Hamilton Township, Pa. He was the son of Joseph and Mary VanHorn Starner. The Starners were amongst first families to settle in the Tannersville area, and have a very long family history intermeddling with the Labar family. A civil war veteran he was under the command of Gen. Burnside and enlisted 25 Feb 1864.
Surviving the war he returned home and married 26 July 1866 Tobyhanna, Pa. Elizabeth Shauffler (1849-1935). He worked in lumbering and farming. They had 10 children as follows: Mary, George, John, Jennie, Clarence, Julia, Charles, Joseph, Franklin, and Benjamin Harrison.
