"FATHER & SON"
Frederick Adam Starring, 1762-1854, was the youngest son from his father's first marriage. He lived in the counties of Montgomery and Herkimer, and in early life was a teacher, becoming in later years a merchant. He was a prominent member of the Dutch Reformed Church at Stone Arabia, N. Y., one of the oldest in the Mohawk Valley.
Sylvanus Seaman Starring was the third son of Frederick Adam Starring - he was born in Herkimer County in 1807, and died at St. Charles, IL., in 1862. Receiving a good education, he became a civil engineer. He removed to Buffalo in 1830, and became successful in his profession and a prosperous man of affairs.
He took a prominent part in the Papineau Rebellion in Canada in 1836, and in that connection obtained the title of Captain [sic] {it is not clear whether that title was subsequent to having been a civilian ship's master or pilot (as the "captain"), or subsequent to military service}, being one of the party which boarded the steamboat Caroline, when that vessel was set on fire and sent adrift over Niagara Falls.
The first wife of Sylvanus Seaman Starring was Adeline Morton Williams, who was born at Fredonia, N. Y., in ~1810. One of her brothers is known to have been killed during the battle of "Put-In Bay" on board the 'Lawrence,' under Commander Perry.on Lake Erie.
