John Leander Starr
John Leander Starr (October 25, 1802 – August 16, 1885) was a merchant and political figure in Nova Scotia, Canada.
He was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the son of John Starr and Desiah Gore. In 1823, he entered the family business of importing and exporting goods. Also in that year, Starr married Maria Sophia Ratchford. After the death of his father in 1827, he took over the operation of the business. He became magistrate for Halifax and lieutenant-colonel in the local militia. Starr was also involved in the temperance movement. In 1830, he married Frances Throckmorton after the death of his first wife. In 1831, the family business was dissolved to pay for his father's debts. Starr then entered business as an insurance broker. He was also a director of the Bank of British North America, president of the Halifax Gas Light and Water Company and a director of the Bay of Fundy Steam Navigation Company. Starr served as aide-de-camp for two Nova Scotia lieutenant governors and was a master in the Masonic order. He ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the provincial assembly in 1826 and 1836. In 1840, he was named to the province's Legislative Council. He was elected to Halifax city council in 1841. Following a downturn in the economy, Starr was forced into bankruptcy. In 1844, he moved to New York City where he continued as an insurance broker. He died there in 1885.
