Comfort Starr House

The house derives its name from Comfort Starr (1666–1743), a tailor, who bought the house from the original builder, a Guilford signer (settler), Henry Kingsnorth, in 1694.^[3] The house is still in its primitive state. It is considered, by some, to be one of the oldest wooden timber frame houses still used as a private residence in the U.S. today.^[4][5]

Comfort Starr's grandfather, also named Comfort Starr, was an English physician who left Kent, Kingdom of England, on the ship Hercules in 1635 and settled in Cambridge, Colony of Massachusetts Bay.^[3]
