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 />
