- (1) Starnes, H. Gerald & Starnes, Herman, Of Them That Left a Name Behind - A History of the Starnes Family, Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, 1983, pp. 732-735:
George Washington Starnes, b. 24 Aug. 1827, Green Co. Tenn, d. 4 April 1917 (parents moved to Indiana when he was 3 weeks old). He married first 11 July 1848, Fountain Co., Ind., Abigail Livengood, b. N.C., 14 Aug., 1832, d. 1867 and buried in Starnes Cemetery. Daughter of Thomas (Hartmann or Hardman) and Eva Shuler Livingood.
According to a history of Leavenworth Co., Kan., he moved from Lee Twp., Platte Co., Mo. where he had gone shortly after his marriage and farmed. On March 14, 1855 took land about six miles south of Leavenworth, Kansas, where he resided until his death. This account states that when Abigail, his first wife died, she left a family of 5 sons and 2 daughters, which agrees with the 1870 census enumeration.
His farm adjoined that of his brother, Charles, who used the spelling "Starns", while George favored "Starnes". He was a farmer and stock raiser. . . .
George Washington Starnes . . . was married a second time to Sarah Espy, 1875, (1841-1900).
