My line starts in Ohio with Jacob Andrew Steele who moved to Wayne Co. Ohio in 1814 and died in 1822. His descendants have lived in Seville, Friendsville and Lodi in Medina Co. as well as much of Wayne Co.. My line is Jacob Andrew Steel, Andrew Steel Sr., Eli Steel (lived in Medina Co.) Robert Vernimon Steele (also Medina Co.), Clyde Arthur Steele-(Also Medina Co), and my dad Robert Eugene Steele Sr- (Friendsville, & Wooster, Oh.. I have mega information on most of the Wayne and Medina County Steeles as well as Holmes and Ashland Co. too which lines moved to Indiana. Perhaps it would be easier if you tell me who your Steeles are. I know the only Steele I have found NOT to connect to in Medina Co. was Allen P. Steele and his family- he was a civil war vet from Medina and not in my line. I have been trying to obtain death info on Steeles for a long time in Medina. I am always excited to! communicate family info and would love to know more about your Steeles. Feel free to email me direct or post here. Thanks! Robin
