The origin of the surname STARK is probably : "In 1480 a young man, John Muirhead, bodyguard of King James III of Scotland, saved the life of the King by wrestling an onrushing bull. For this, he was awarded the 'Killermount' Estate, meaning 'strong' in German Gaul. A new coat of arms was granted 'Stark alias Fortiorum Fortia Factai1, which means 'brave deeds of brave men.

1. John Stark of Killermount Estate on the Clyde River, Scotland, was born in about 1604. In 1635 he was Bishop of Glasgow, a "zealous Covenator"; the Scottish folk having signed a national covenant to resist by force the introduction of the English Church into Scotland by Charles I.
