THOMAS STARR (1615-1658)


He came to America with his father when he was about eighteen years old. He lived in Duxbury, Scituate, Yarmouth, and Charlestown, Massachusetts. He was appointed surgeon for the military forces in the Colony on 5/17/1637. For his service, his widow was granted four hundred acres of land. She later took the younger children to Hempstead, L.I, New York.
