Sharrie, Thanks so much for this information! I can not add much as I knew nothing except for the marriage of Abigail Steelman and Jonathan Parker. I do know Jonathan Parker moved to Clermont Co. after 1830. He's on the 1840 census with, presumably, his wife. In 1850 I find J. Parker living with possibly, his daughter and family. Abigail must have died. Can find no record of his or her death. This certainly gives me much information to work with. I understand you haven't documented this but it's still a wonderful place for me to start and I do thank you so much for sharing!!! > From: SDJZ@aol.com > Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 13:48:10 EST > To: OHCLERMO-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Steelman family > Resent-From: OHCLERMO-L@rootsweb.com > Resent-Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 10:48:20 -0800 > > Please understand that I have not been documented this information.
