Florence (Flora) Ellen Starks was the only daughter of Minnie Etta Stubblefield and George Starks' three children. (George had three older children by a previous marriage.) Her father died when she was 4 years old. Her name on all documents prior to her marriage (including the pension request her mother filed on her behalf) is Flora. The first time Florence appears on a formal document is an affidavit with her daughter Lucille's birth record. She states her name is Florence, but signs the document 'Flora.'
She spent the first 6 years of her life near Logansport in Cass Co., Indiana, before her mother moved them to join her family in Coffey Co., Kansas. Her mother married James Davis and the family remained in Kansas (where two half-siblings were born)until 1899 when they relocated to Durango, La Plata, Colorado. Her mother divorced James Davis in 1903 and married Hubert Benson in 1905.

George Walter Starks (189w-1970)
James B. Davis (1896-1936)

Flora and her four siblings relocated with Minnie and Hubert to Graham County, Arizona, in 1907. In 1908, she married Marshall Moore (Mack) Hubbard in Graham County. They relocated to Cochise, then to Maricopa, and eventually to Yavapai. She and Mack had four children together:

Lucille Ethel Hubbard Baldridge (1911-1989)
Alice May Hubbard Sullivan (1913-1966)
