Corn_Crib_Starkey_Grave_01

Descendants of the Hares have a family tradition that Starkey’s family originally occupied a log cabin here. Indeed, there is a log structure behind the main house. Although a small corn crib now, the logs clearly came from an earlier, larger structure and were reassembled into the current form. The joinery in this building is similar to those from the area of North Carolina that all these folks came from. Left: old log structure later reassembled into corn crib. Right: Starkey S. Hare grave After Starkey S. Hare’s death in 1850, some of his family remained in this area,
but others moved on to Arkansas.
Mr. Hare, his wife, and several family members are buried here.

from web site of Ronnie and Bonnie Weaver Mebane-Nuckolls House
“It is now our assumption that the earliest brick building is probably from the 1830’s, twenty years before the Mebanes ever lived in West Tennessee.”

7 thoughts on “John Hare”

  1. Do you know if any of these Hare’s migrated into Marion Country Kentucky late 1790’s Early 1800’s either for religious or farming reasons. I have William Hare that does 1850 with his wife I believe Helen Helm Hare. They had 5 sons Perry was the youngest and shoes placed with a Joseph and Sarah Clark on the 1850 Census

  2. My 4th GGF was William Hare. He died 1850’s in Kentucky, Marion or Casey County. We think he was married to a Helen Helm possibly. he had at least 5 sons, David, Thomas, John, William and My 3rd GGF Perry

    I cannot find any real evidence of where he cqame from but I surmise North Carolina, as all my other family traces back to Virginia and North Carolina. I also have my grandpa and Great Grandpa were named Benjamin, I believe we are Scottish as that is where my DNA leads. if you have anyway to tie him to NC it would solve a mystery for sure

  3. I am looking for information on a Milly Hare who was born 1824 and died 1875. She was married to a Haley W. Russell. I also need to know who her daddy is?????

  4. I am a descent of John Robert hare Sr. he is my grandfather his father was John Elmer Hare who married Alice Lee Iser.

    John Father is John W. Hare is father is Thomas R. Hare is father is Hineman Hare is father is Benjamin Hare. Here is where I am stuck at I am looking for more info on my grand fathers.

    Thanks
