    • According to a biographical sketch of his son, Henry L. Starkebaum, published in 1893, Friedrich H. "Fritz" Starkebaum, relocated from Warren County to Lafayette County in 1876. Henry made the same move at the age of nine year (which would have occurred in 1876). The sketch does not say so, but presumably Fritz's wife and any of their unmarried children also took up residence in Lafayette County.
