Also seen as Phillip.
They were married in Shelby Co., Ky.
Philip's father was Joseph Stark: From the book, History of Decatur County, Indiana, 1915, it states on pg. 1150 that ..."Joseph Stark, who was a son of John Stark, a native of New Hampshire, who moved from that state to Virginia, later migrating to Kentucky, where he became an influential pioneer of Henry county, the the latter state. Joseph Stark was a member of the local guards of Virginia, the "minute men", who constituted the militia organization of the Old Dominion, and was sent with his company into what then was known as Kentucky county, Virginia, now the state of Kentucky, to put down an uprising of the Cherokee Indians, and for two years was engaged in Indian warfare. During that time he became so impressed with the value of Kentucky lands, particularly in the blue-grass region, over which he had ranged as an Indian fighter, that he decided to locate there as soon as the opportunity presented. In 1780 when Daniel Boone headed his famous band of Virginia settlers into Kentucky, Joseph Stark joined the colony; first settling in Shelby county, where his children were born and where his wife died. Upon the death of his wife, he moved to Henry county, in Kentucky, where he bought a farm at Floyd's Fork, near the headwaters of the Little Kentucky river and established his home, remaining there the rest of his life and founding a numerous family, the descendants of which now are widely scattered."
In "History of Boone County, Indiana" by Hon. L. M. Crist, 1914, it states that both Philip and Elizabeth were natives of Virginia. But in the "History of Decatur County" by Lewis A. Harding, in 1915, it says they were natives of Kentucky.
