William L. Stark and Ann Linsley
New Haven Probate records for 1836 (File number 9829) show that
Isaac Augur was
appointed guardian
of William L. Stark,
a minor of about 16 years of age, on 17 August 1836.
This is undoubtedly the son of
Daniel Stark and
Eliza, who perhaps needed
a guardian after Daniel Stark abandoned his wife
(see the divorce papers).
Ann Linsley
was the wife of William L. Stark. New Haven probate records
contain a packet for her, which indicates that she died 29 February 1892,
that Theodore A. Tuttle was appointed as the administrator of her estate,
and that she had one heir:
Estella E. Benton
of Atlanta, GA (her daughter).
LDS Film 1405858,
New Haven Vital Records, contains the following entry:
- 8 June 1841. "I hereby certify that at New Haven said 8th day
of June 1841 I married William L. Stark to Ann Linsley."

Dolareese Steely
(Conn. Soc. Gen. Member #8587) sent me some information
on William L. Stark. She says that her mother told her that her great
grandmother's name was Estella Eliza, and William Louis was her father.
Her mother's brother was named Uriah Louis after his great great grandfather.
She also sent information that showed that William Louis Stark moved
to Bibb County, Georga after 1850. He is listed on the 1860 Bibb County
Census near Macon Georgia (Bibb County 1860, page 79):
William L. Stark, 40, Bookkeeper
Ann, 39
Estella Eliza, 19
Francis Clark, 32, Tin Smith
Julia Clark, 26
