BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH<br />

Samuel Starr was born July 31, 1810, in Leyden, New York. He enlisted in the United States<br />

Army in October 1832, and served with the Engineer Battalion during the Mexican War. He was<br />

appointed brevet second lieutenant, 2nd Dragoons, in June 1848 and served in Texas from 1848<br />

to 1854, in Kansas in 1855, in the Sioux and Utah expeditions in 1855-1856, and in the Western<br />

territories until 1861. During the Civil War, Starr held a number of posts. He served as aide de<br />

camp to Brigadier General Joseph Mansfield, who was in command of the Department of<br />

Washington, and in August 1861 was appointed colonel of the 5th New Jersey Infantry. He later<br />

commanded the 3rd Brigade, Hooker’s Division, Army of the Potomac. He resigned his<br />

commission in the volunteer service in October 1862 and returned to the 2nd U.S. Cavalry<br />

(formerly the 2nd Dragoons). In April 1863, he was promoted to major of the 6th U.S. Cavalry.<br />

After recovering from wounds received at Fairfield, Pennsylvania, in July 1863, Starr was<br />

assigned as chief mustering and disbursing officer for the state of Ohio. He held this position<br />

from November 1863 to September 1864. In the latter month he was ordered to join Sheridan’s<br />

army in the Shenandoah Valley. From November 1864 to August 1865 he served as special<br />

inspector of cavalry for the Armies of the Potomac and the James. In October 1865, he was<br />

ordered with his regiment to Texas. He retired from the army in December 1870. Starr married<br />

Eliza Kurtz in 1841. He died November 23, 1891, in Philadelphia and was buried at Arlington<br />

National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Samuel Starr's daughter Kate married William D. Price<br />

of Austin, Texas, in 1866. Price served as a captain of the 1st Texas Cavalry (Union) during the<br />

Civil War, and following the war he became a prominent lawyer and judge in Austin. He died in<br />

1877.<br />
