(9) Calhoun County Birth Records, Grantsville, WV. Event Notes Note (1) Buried with or near William Starcher is "Sarah E. Starcher," with just the single date Sep 15 1844. This is probably an infant daughter. Note (2) It has been reported by some researchers that Sarah Elizabeth Husk was born in California, then moved to Ohio. But this is inconsistent with all other records. Her 1879 marriage record in Calhoun County states her birthplace as Ohio, while her death record specifies Washington, PA. www.doddridgecountyroots.com Name Index
