Notes
Starke was a clerk to several committees of the House of Burgesses in the 1760s; he was authorized to produce this replacement for George Webb's aging Office and Authority of a Justice of Peace (1736.006) in the November 1769 session; he died before it was completed; "some benevolent gentlemen of the law" finished the work for the benefit of Starke's family.
