Hi all, Before 1860 there was a JOHN AND ELIZABETH STEEL living in Franklin County near Blooming Grove. John was born in Ireland. They had at least 6 daughters, Hannah, Sarah, Jemima, Caroline, June and Margaret. I know nothing about John and Elizabeth except they do not appear in the 1860 census but 4 of their daughters are in Fayette County living together. Elizabeth's maiden name could be GLENN. Any info on the Steel's or Glenn's would be helpful. I descend from Caroline. Caroline Steel married AMBROSE MANRING (Mannering). Ambrose was born 14 Feb 1841 in Franklin County. He is the son of Ambrose Manring and Nancy SCOTTEN. According to the 1880 census the elder Ambrose was born in Maryland and Nancy was born in Delaware. I do not know Nancy or Ambrose's parents. Anyone researching these names please contact me. Sharlene Bumgarner
