| Notes |
- Burgis Pratt Starr: "William...[is] a merchant in his native city of Baltimore, and a member of the Maryland Legislature several times; Presbyterian." "[William's father] Wesley Starr...became a successful commission merchant, accumulated a large property, and was a prominent member of the Methodist Protestant Church. In 1865 he built a church and parsonage now called the Starr Church which he presented to the Maryland Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, and by his will left valuable property for its support..."

The Starr Methodist Protestant Church
This church is called after Wesley Starr, who being ardently attached to old Methodist usages, and finding that they were being abandoned by most of the Methodist Churches, determined to perpetuate them as far as he could by the erection of a church, the charter of which should require their observance.
Accordingly, in the spring of 1863 he commenced the erection of the present edifice at the corner of Poppleton and Lemmon Streets, but after having made considerable progress the work was suspended. In March 1864, the property was formally donated in its unfinished condition to the Maryland Annual Conference of the Methodist Protestant church, with the understanding that the recipients should finish and furnish the basement, which was completed and dedicated June 12, 1864. Mr. Starr completed the audience-room at his own cost, and it was dedicated December 11, 1864.
The ground on which the church and parsonage stand was the gift of Mr. Starr, who also left the church an annuity. In 1865 Starr Church was made a separate charge, and Rev. W. M. Hopkins became its pastor [9]
