In a question as to how everyone is related... yes, Alexander and Samuel Starry are brothers.
Their parents were: John Daniel Starry (1777-1842) married 1798 to Hannah Smith (1778-1861). Alexander Starry was born July 31, 1802 in Berkeley Co., VA (now WV) and died March 15, 1852 in Olin, Jones Co., IA. Was married March 24, 1831 in Warren Co., IN to Polly Saum, born January 13, 1807 in Highland Co., OH and died December 11, 1888 in Olin, Jones Co., IA. Alexander and Polly are buried at Center Cem., Olin, IA.
Their son Jabez Starry was born July 17, 1831 in Warren Co., IN and died October 17, 1910 in Rome Twp., Jones Co., IA. Was married first to Eleanor Simpson (previously mentioned) and second to Jane Jenning Lucas. She was born in December 20, 1843 in Tippecanoe Co., IN,... but died ???. Her first marriage was to William H. Norton (????-????). Her parents were Harmon Reasoner Lucas (1819-1846) and Maria Mansfield (1823-1894). Maria was married second in 1846 Indiana to James Wood Ireland (1806-1877).
Jabez and Eleanor had son Sylvester Starry, born in March, 1856 at Rome Twp., Jones Co., IA and died sometime in 1909 (exactly when?) at Olin, IA? Sylvester was married February 27, 1877 in Olin to Elizabeth Mary Simmons, born February 20, 1856 in Cedar Co., IA and died about 1945 (exactly when?) in Olin, Jones Co., IA. Elizabeth's mother is Martha Jane Kinton (1837-1919) who I am still looking for a proper death date for in Olin.
Samuel D. Starry was born April 6, 1811 in Warren Co., IN and died December 23, 1880 in Brown, Linn Co., IA. Was married first September 9, 1843 in Jones Co., IA to Rhoda Bumgarner, born January 6, 1821 in OH and died April 23, 1847 in Jones Co., IA. (buried at Pleasant Hill cem.). Married second to Sarah T. Butler, born September 6, 1815 in OH and died October 9, 1872 in Brown, Linn Co., IA. Both Samuel and Sarah are buried in Springville, IA. Sarah was previously married 1831 in Indiana to George H. Robinson (1813-1847).
Samuel and Rhoda's son William H. Starry was born March 2, 1842 in Jones Co., IA (according to marriage listing) and died October 28, 1911 in Yukon, Canadian Co., OK. Married first February 29, 1872 at Springville, Linn Co., IA to Nancy E. Bell, born June 17, 1853 (where?) and died April 23, 1874 in Hale, Jones Co., IA. (buried?). married second September 26, 1875 in Hale, Jones Co., IA to Adeline Augusta St. John, born April 21, 1859 in Jones Co., IA and died July 30, 1935 at Edmond, Canadian Co., OK.
Two of William and Adeline children were William James Starry (1876-1951) who married 1903 to Ella Melissa Simmons (1866-1948) and Frank Lee Starry (1878-1949) married 1900 to Alma Ione Simmons (1880-1960). Elizabeth Mary Simmons who married Sylvester above was sister to these two other Simmons who married Starry.
