We have a book published a few generations ago which has several catologues of lineage charts. "Steel" appears in the book so I thought I would share. It looks like Samuel and John Steel got married to Bradford women. Samuel Steel married Mercy Bradford and John Steel married Melatiah Bradford. Mercy and Melatiah were the daughters of Alice Richards and William (b. 1624, Deputy Gov. of Plymouth). That William was the son of Gov. William Bradford and Alice Carpenter. I know your spelling of Steele is different, but you know how names change. I thought I'd send the info along, anyway.
