I think that was his whole handle JStark == JStark1809

There's no wikipedia for either JStark, JStark1809 or his fiat name.
 

 Guess that should be included in the wiki! 

 In 1809, a group of Bennington veterans gathered to commemorate the battle. General Stark, then aged 81, was not well enough to travel, but he sent a letter to his comrades which closed "Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils."

 His nym was a reference to John Stark the American military officer. 1809 was a year or something. I forget when he explained it but it's out there.  

 Probably this. It was a letter written by a revolutionary war hero John Stark. https://image.nostr.build/7e1f2c709c2672f6fbf2052ba63b0f47ab514870ccea54f0507ed65e4a564e6a.jpg
