NC, US Death: January 7, 1910 in Winston, Forsyth, NC, US Henry Reuben Starbuck, Sr. Birth: September 23, 1866 in Winston, Forsyth, NC, US Death: June 21, 1958 in Winston-Salem, Forsyth, NC, US 1869–1887: Final years During Reconstruction in 1869, the "twin cities" of Salem and Winston conducted a census to evaluate the post-civil war population of the cities. It was found that "Winston had a population of 406, while Salem had 905". — "The white families in Winston numbered 71 and colored 26." The family of D. H. Starbuck was named in the census. At the time of the 1870 Census Darius (51) was living with his wife Ellen (36) and three children—Mary T. (13), Ellen (11), and Henry R. (3). At this time his real estate was valued at $18,800 and his personal estate at $7,100. Darius was working as a U.S. District Attorney at this time. His daughters, Dora and Ella, were attending school at this time at the Salem Female Academy. Also living in the household in 1870 were a young girl named Anna Hege (7), a domestic servant named James Fulk (19), and brother-in-law Jacob Blickenderfer (25).

Ellen's brother, Jacob, was working as a paymaster on the railroad in 1870. Other records show that Jacob ran a Notions Store in Salem. Late in life, at the age of 53 and after 15 years of marriage, Darius chose to join his wife's faith. He was baptized by the Moravian church on March 24, 1872. The only entree in the Moravian church diaries to refer to Darius as a "brother" of the church is after this date, when on January 26, 1874, the Salem Collegium denied his request to purchase lands "east of the [railroad] by the acre." Later that year, however, on August 14, 1874, Darius purchased three lots. The first having 9 acres and 153 rods, the second having
