"Samuel Starling came from the Luton hamlet of Stopsley. He became a wealthy London brewer and was master of the Brewer's Company in 1661. Perhaps his early years were a struggle, for Pepys thought him ungenerous. After the great fire, when his house was saved, he did give two shillings and six pence among thirty of them, and did quarrel with some that would remove rubbish out of the way of the fire, saying that they came to steal. In 1669 he became Lord Mayor of London, but in the gloomy conditions of the time there was little pagentry for his show."

Col. William Starling died on 25 December 1826 at Mercer Co., KY, at age 70


In 1794, William Starling removed to Kentucky and settled on a farm near Harrodsburgh, in Mercer County. He had purchased lands before coming there, but lost them through the conflicting and uncertain titles that were characteristic of those days, and which, for many years thereafter, were the source of much trouble and litigation, until the Legislature, by a few general and sweeping acts, quieted the titles and confirmed the possession to the fortunate holders. Mr. Starling, in addition to his large landed interest, was the owner of a great many slaves, and engaged in mercantile pursuits at Harrodsburgh on an extensive scale, having branches of his house in Henderson and Frankfort. He died December 25th, 1826; his wife, Susanna Lyne, died Septemt 7th, 1802. Colonel Starling, as he was called, derived his title from the fact that he was selected Colonel of a temporary regiment, called out when Virginia was threatened with invasion by Benedict Arnold and his command, after his treason, and when he had joined the British army. He represented Mercer County in the Kentucky Legislature, and, according to the document under the seal of the State, was appointed Assistant Judge for his district December 18th, 1806.
