It appears from the listing of the household of Peter STARNES, Sr. in the 1820 census that he may have had as many as two additional sons, both of whom would have been born between 1810 and 1820. One of these two additional sons might have been Charles Claiborne STARNES, who was born on June 22, 1810, and who later lived near Peter STARNES, Jr. in Coffee [formerly Bedford] County, TN.] (2) A household headed by Peter STARNS, Jr. is listed in the 1820 census of Scott County, VA.

Assuming that Peter is the free white male listed in the 1820 census as then being between 16 and 26 years of age, he would have been born between 1794 and 1804, according to the 1820 census. Assuming that Peter's wife is the free white female listed in the 1820 census as then being between 16 and 26 years of age, she would have been born between 1794 and 1804, according to the 1820 census. Assuming that the other person in Peter's household is a child of Peter and/or his wife, that child would have consisted of a son who was born between 1810 and 1820, according to the 1820 census.

Assuming that Peter's wife is the free white female listed in the 1830 census as then being between 20 and 30 years of age, she would have been born sometime between 1800 and 1810, according to the 1830 census. The free white female listed in the 1830 census as then being between 50 and 60 years of age might have been Peter's mother-in-law, who was born between 1770 and 1780, according to the 1830 census.
