HISTORY OF NANTUCKET
STARBUCK
EDWARD STARBUCK
Nathaniel Barney says of Edward Starbuck "He was a man of great firmness and his influence among the Indians was so great that if at any time suspicion or alarm arose among the early set- tlers he was always in requisition to explain the apparent causes thereof and suggest a palliation for their rude and inexplicable ac- tion, which served to allay the fears of the more timid. His wife's name was Katharine Reynolds. He died 4th 12 mo. 1690, aged 86."*
There seems to be no record regarding his wife, but as the early records of births, marriages and deaths kept by William Worth seem to be quite complete and her name does not appear in them the presumption is that she died before the family removed to Nantucket .; That he was well esteemed among the Indians as men- tioned by Mr. Barney is evidenced by the deeding of Coatue to him by Wannackmamack and Nicanoos "of our free and voluntary willes." Tradition says that Edward Starbuck was a man of commanding presence.
It is stated that the spring following his coming to Nantucket with Thomas Macy, he returned to Dover and vicinity and persuad- ed several to accompany him back to Nantucket.
Various incidents in his life have already been related. When he came to the Island he occupied a house which he built at Mad- deket. His house lot as laid out was about 1000 feet square, extend- ing northward from the head of Hummock Pond to Maxcy's Pond.#

*Unpublished M S. 1
¡The probabilities are that she died in Dover.
#Nantucket Lands and Land Owners p. 75. There is a tradition that on one occasion the Indians were in an ugly mood and threatened trouble. He was sent for and unhesitatingly went among them. So much regard they had for him that he soon quieted them.
William Gayer who married Dorcas Starbuck is stated to be direct in descent from Edward I of England.
