Lee We have a Steel, but we don't know what his first name was. We know he at least at one time was married to Margaret Alice Couch, but that's about all I know on them. But folks back then got married alot more than some of us probably suspected. Especially if they were widowed with small children, so whose to say. I've got a couple of cousins, and we've got a couple of aunts left that might know, I'll write them and see if we can jog a memory. :) Linda >From: Lee <longs6@yahoo.com> >Reply-To: COUCH-L@rootsweb.com >To: COUCH-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [COUCH] Claxton/Couch Marriages >Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 03:59:17 -0700 (PDT) > >Do you have a Samuel Guy Steele in your backgraound? >He married Ada Winona Claxton on Mar 14, 1915 in >Sidney, ARk.
