The dates on the gravestone 1689-1750 conflict with the following source-

[Jelke and Frazier, and Allied Families. By Louis Effingham DeForest. New York, 1931. Vol 167]

regarding his birth, pg 49:
"When Archibald Stark died in 1758, his age was stated on his gravestone to be sixty-one, which would make his year of birth 1697, and that year is the one usually given. However, another record gives the names and years of birth of John Stark's nine children, and states that Archibald was born in 1693."

regarding his death, pp 51-52:
" ...the formal grant of Starkstown to Archibald Stark was not made by the Masonian Proprietors until 1751."

"The last mention of Archibald Stark before his death, other than a reference to his ownership in 1755 of a pew or seat in the Derryfield (Manchester) meeting house, was in 1753 when he headed a list of signers of a protest about the proposed abandonment of a new road. The signers called themselves "Residents in the Towns Adjoining to the Merrimack River" and all four of Archibald's sons signed-Archibald, Jr., William, Samuel, and John.

Archibald Stark died on June 25, 1758, at or near his home. He was buried in a small rural cemetery south of Amoskeag Falls, in what was known as Christian Brook Cemetery. In 1854 his body was removed to the Valley Cemetery in Manchester, and about 1893 his remains were reinterred in the Stark family lot in Stark Park, Manchester.
