I have booklets by Dr Peter S Craig and Henry Yocum on Olaf Stille,who last lived west of downtown Philadelphia. In SW Ohio,in 1824,Savil Justice wed Ruhama Blackman, and she was of James Steelman wed to a Swedish Toy . They moved to the coat,SW of Atlantic City,NJ in 1695. Savil's father,Jesse Justice,had owned a farm on Mantua Creek, north of Swedesboro,NJ ,and a 2nd on Raccoon.The 1st formerly had been a Steelman farm,where EricSteelman,and his widowed mother,Ella Olafdatter Yocum Mansson,had lived. This Clermont Co,Ohio East of Cincinnati,had a large colony from SW NJ,and thus many of Swedish decent.
Do you have James Hanson Steelman widowed and married again? Looks like his will (1734/5) gives the name of his wife as Katharine, although his first wife was Susannah Toy. Katherine was the mother of the youngest, Peter Steelman, who was under 21 in winter 1734/5. One of James' daughters, Mary, married a Blackman, but I don't have his first name, nor any children of theirs. Mary and ___ Blackman were married before August 1734, James Steelman wrote his will --he just calls her "Mary Blackman." Same with Susannah, she's "Susannah Kean." Which Keen? Eric was James Steelman's brother; died of smallpox in 1731. Looks like there was a suiit over Eric's property. How did Jesse Justis end up with Eric Steelman's Mantua Creek farm? Also, James and Eric Steelman's brother, Christiaen (b. 1670), he's the one who lived at or near Wilmington, member of Holy Trinity Church there. (Right??) Did he marry a Mary Peterson after his first wife, Mary Cann (d/o John), died?? I need dates for him, and where did he end up? And if he did marry (2) Mary Peterson, who were her parents?
