Emmet McDonald Starr was born in the Cherokee Nation on 1870. Both his parents were mixed-blood Cherokees and his grandparents were Old Settler Cherokees. He grew up where his father was successively deputy sheriff, deputy clerk, and judge. He later said his father's home was open to his friends and at an early age he listened to the conversations of the most brilliant minds among his people. He graduated from the Cherokee National Male Seminary in 1888, and from Barnes Medical College, St. Louis, Missouri, in 1893. He practiced the profession of medicine for five years but then began to write full time. He began his work on the genealogy of Cherokee families in 1891 and it was completed by 1902. He was selected by the Dawes Commission to assist completion of the Final Rolls. On August 5, 1901, Dr. Starr was elected to the Cherokee National Council from Cooweescoowee District. Following the death of his father in 1906, Emmet Starr took over the responsibility of his younger siblings. His own ambitions were set aside during this time. From 1913 until 1916, he served as librarian for the Northeastern State College Library at Tahlequah, Oklahoma. About 1916 he moved to San Antonio, Texas, where he worked at a book store. His specialty was securing rare and out of print books for clients. Shortly afterwards he moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and worked for a book store there. His hobbies included genealogy, the history of printing, the history of violin making, rare editions of books, and the history of Bible printing. In politics he was a Democrat. He was a Master Mason and was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Dr. Starr was the author of several books. Here is a list of Starr's Old Cherokee Families: Grant, Downing, Ghigau, Foreman, Sequoyah, Oolootsa, Bowles, Sanders, Ridge-Watie, Ward, Cordery, Daniel, Chisholm-Wilson, Carter, Adair, Ross, Gosaduisga, Conrad, Riley, Duncan, Halfbreed, Reese, Smith, Hildebrand, England, Thompson, Seabolt, Wilkerson, Blair, Ratliff, Timson, Springston, Woodall, Butler, Rogers, Raper, and Hendricks. This Volume Two includes an Indices that divided into two sections. The first index is a General Index and contains the names of all family members mentioned in the notes beginning with Abbot and ending with Zufall. In this index, the same name may occur on more than one line. In those instances, the notes refer to different people with the same name. If there are two or three entries on one line, then all of those entries refer to the same person. The second index is an Index of Non-family Members and contains the names of all persons not related to the individuals about whom the note was written. The vast majority of these are military officers under whom an individual served and begins with Abraham and ends with Young. These indices are only in Volume Two. Volume One does not have an Index.
