 James Harper Starr, namesake of Starr County, Texas.
James Harper Starr cannot be regarded a "typical" immigrant to Texas during the days of the Republic, for those were the days when "GTT" explained hasty departures from the states and beginnings with new identities.
Starr supported annexation to the Union in 1845 but not secession from it fifteen years later, but his sons and son-in-law, Henry Raguet, entered Confederate military service when the Civil War began.
After the collapse of the Confederacy Starr formed a partnership with his son, James Franklin Starr, in a land speculation and banking enterprise in Marshall, Texas.
