~~~ Starnes and Stearnes (a branch of Starnes) appears in DNA of our Goldens. Why exactly is yet unknown. It appears to have a German Goldman linkage from a Starnes ancestor that arrived in New York from Germany about 1710-1711.
Friederich ‘Frederick’ Starhing ‘Starnes’ (1700–1779)

Not all Starnes appear to associate with the Starnes and Goldman families that arrived in New York about 1711. One DNA lineage of York, Union County Starnes appear to come from Massachusetts before settling in Charleston, South Carolina and with a branch in York, Union County.

Married to Miriam Ann Darby, 1783–1853, of the Columbia, Richland, South Carolina … Continue reading
Joseph Joel Starnes (1790–1878) and Anna B. Brock (1799–1878) lived in the Laurens County, South Carolina area, being born there. Joseph’s parents (unconfirmed) were Ebenezer Starnes (1760–1789) and Ann LNU (1760–1802), both probably born in the Mecklenburg, North Carolina area but living in the Laurens, South Carolina area by 1770.
