Just in Contact with Shata California Startt family of Ben Startt. today. 1880 Census shows Startt family in California with beginnings in MD. I am chasing the Start family from Maryland.

Problem..... Start family looks like starting in Kent County Md. My Ben. shows up in Baltimore City Maryland.. First Ben shows in 1812-1890.. showing up in Baltimore City Census. Then he has son Ben 1870 Census with Ben & Mary and Ben Jr. 25 (1845) (so you can see no Ben 1833! My line from Ben H. Start & Mary Ensor Start... One of Ben & Mary E children Sarah Start married Henderson and their child Sadie Henderson married across the Cole Line. Show me your Ben 1833 and maybe I can connect. 1880 Cenus Kent County MD.. shows B.H. Start 68 and Mary A. 54 (claiming them! the ages are correct)... Problem .. somewhere Ben Jr or he had a kid at 16 wife/girl (the whole family married Mary's) married to Andrew Curtis and the Start children all show up in California ..... Noted from connection Shasta that Mary maiden name was Echols. No show in Md. but some in Va cannot connect.... but in the death records of California. Benjamin Howard Startt shows as born 1861 and died 1940 and his maiden name of mother was Echalas (cannot find)... But thought he should be dead if his wife moved on to Curtis. or why is he in California?.. as he does not show in 1880 California census. Advise if anything connects here!
