Ballou hypothesized about Elizabeth: "It is not known if Elizabeth Starr was a near relative of Lydia Mitchell of Ashford, whose surety bond for her marriage to Robert Berry of the city of London, haberdasher, was signed by Comfort Starr on 27 July 1613 (Canterbury Marriage Licenses, First Series 1458-1618, line 44), but what other motive had Dr. Comfort Starr for venturing to sign the bond?
So far as research has discovered, Lydia Mitchell was not a relative of Comfort Starr nor was Robert Berry. Was Lydia Mitchell a relative of Jonathan Mitchell who came to new Towne, or Charlestown, MA with his parents on 17 August 1635? If he were a relative, proof is lacking, but that family of Mitchell was from Yorkshire. Jonathan Mitchell, like Comfort Starr Jr., was one of the five Fellows named in the charter of Harvard College.
Elizabeth died 25 June 1658, age 63.
