NJ in 1850. D.: Yes, you found them in 1840! Then, the 1850 has them in Gloucester County (Franklinville): Steel, William, 37; Elizabeth, 33; Samuel 13; Sarah 10; Christiana, 5; Thomas 2. Mary should only be 15, but is apparently out of the nest, as is my Wm. Jr.(If you still have it handy, are they near any Dilks?) In 1860 they were renting in Bridgeton: William Steel 48; Elizabeth, 45; Samuel 23; Sarah 20; Christiana 16; Thomas 11; Katey 9; my William 7; Charlie Francis 4 (Steel crossed out - this is Frank Facemire, son of the Steele daughter Mary Facemire, 25.) I'm also looking for James and Ann/Hannah Dilks, parents of Eliz. There is a James Dilks in Gloucester County who is old enough to be E's father, but his wife is not an Ann nor Hannah. Moving ahead to 1870, William Sr. was called "Stael" in the Millville Census: William, 55, Elizabeth, 50, Mary 31 (Facemire/ getting younger each decade), Samuel 29, Christiana, 22, Thomas, 21, Kate 18, William 16, Harriet 9, Arana 4, and Frank Facemire, 13. We're clear on 1880, too, but when time allows, can you scare up pre-1840? Is 1830 available for either Glou. County NJ, or SE Pa.? Since the first son was named Samuel, that may mean Wm. Sr.'s father was a Samuel, or that could be Eliz. Dilks's father.
