30, 1843. Starbuck's father, Reuben, remarried some time after 1845 and before 1850. Reuben's second wife was Rachel Trueblood Stanley. Her birth was recorded on November 21, 1809, in Guilford County, the daughter of Isaac and Mary Outland Trueblood. Rachel's first husband, Jesse Stanley, died around 1845. Before his death the couple had at least two sons, Jesse Stanly, Jr., and James H. Stanley. Both of Jesse Jr. and James would go on to spend the remainder of their youths in the household(s) of Reuben Starbuck. Both step-sons received properties in the divisions of Reuben's estate, James having been given the Endsley-Morgan House, one of many properties owned by Reuben. 1849–1855: Move to Winston-Salem Starbuck is believed to have moved to Winston-Salem around 1849. Modern accounts purport that around this time he purchased three lots (lots 50, 51, and 52) from the Salem Moravian Church for $503 during one of the earliest land auctions in Winston. Near the corner of Main and First Streets, the property fronted 300 feet on Main Street. Church records, however, say that Darius purchased lots 51 and 52 for $327 and $76, totaling $403; lot 50 was originally purchased by a Mr. Cecil. Nevertheless, Starbuck acquired lot 50 at some point during this early period in Winston's history. Today these three lots are at 101 North Main Street, the site of the current Winston-Salem City Hall, and across the street from the Wells Fargo Center. Starbuck's associate Thomas J. Wilson also purchased lots during these early land auctions. On the three lots acquired in 1849, Starbuck completed the construction of his home in Winston in 1851. Standing amidst a grove of trees, the Starbuck home was a colonial-style brick mansion. Described by all accounts as "beautiful", the Starbuck mansion was one of the first palatial homes in Winston. The editor of the Salem newspaper, the People's Press, wrote in 1852, "An occasional walk to our adjoining neighbor Winston never fails to impress us with the growing importance of the place." — "New and tasty buildings have been erected in 1851 and others are in progress. The citizens of Winston mostly display that neatness in the erection of their dwellings which strikes the beholder." Starbuck, now age 30, appears in the 1850 Census living at the residence of landlord Adam Butner. Along with Butner's wife and seven children, Augustus Staub (a farmer from Prussia) and Rufus
