General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Sterling

---

This name has been a familiar one in England and Scotland from a very early period. There are many branches in the United States, where as Sterling, Starling and Stirling, they have borne well their part in whatever walk of life placed.
This branch came to America from London, England, settling in Mercer County, New Jersey, but did not long remain there.

Another Sterling family of about the same period trace from James Sterling, of Burlington, New Jersey, an influential public man and an early Methodist of note frequently mentioned in histories of the Methodist Episcopal church, notably in Rev. John Atkinson's "Memorials of Methodism of New Jersey," which carries his portrait as a frontispiece. It is said he was of Irish descent.
