age. As Starbuck's home in Winston was built in 1851, it is possible that Syphax's labor may have been used during the brick mansion's construction. On March 15, 1857, Syphax's daughter, Nancy Adaline Adams, requested to become a member of the Salem African Moravian Church, a month later she began receiving instruction, and by October 11 she was baptized by the church. The church register in October 1857 listed her as, "Nancy Adelia, a single woman, property of Darius Starbuck." By the time of the 1860 Census, before the abolition of slavery, Syphax and his family were living as freed citizens of the Broadbay Township in Forsyth County. By the time of Starbuck's death in 1887 he owned 322 acres—an area referred to in his will as the "Bouer Place"—in the Broadbay township; it is unknown whether the Adams' ever lived or worked on this property during their residence in Broadbay. On April 14, 1861, Syphax's daughter, Mary Magdalene Adams (single), was baptized into the Moravian Church on the same day as Lewis Hege (also single). At this time Mary was employed by Traugott Frederick Crist, and Lewis was a servant of George Hege. Lewis also served as an elder of the African Moravian Church in Salem. At some point before 1862 Mary and Lewis were married. As there is no surviving record of the marriage in the church register, it is possible that the couple jumped the broom. On July 17, 1862, Lewis and Mary had a child named Arabella Hege who was baptized on November 30, 1862. On February 14, 1864, however, Mary died of typhoid fever. At the time of her death she was described as "a quasi free woman of color." Lewis later remarried to Dinah Ann (Malone). Jane, a servant of Louisa Shober Crossland, died on June 26, 1864, at the age of 19; this may have been Syphax's daughter Sarah Jane "Sally" Adams. On October 23, 1864, Nathan, "a boy in care of D. H. Starbuck," was baptized by the Salem African Church. A girl by the name of Lucinda, who was a servant of Julius Edward Mickey, was also baptized this day. This Lucinda could be Syphax's younger daughter Lucy Adams. On August 29, 1887, Lewis Hege, widower of Mary Magdalene Adams, was named in the land divisions of Starbuck's estate. A Daniel Hege also owed the estate a personal loan debt of
