    3. I have not done much research on the Steen line since it is not a direct relationship so I can't give much help as far as Mary Jane Steen Logan. Stella Steen was the daughter of William John Steen and Sarah Ireland (daughter of Thomas & Jane Ireland). My gg granduncle, James Samuel Montgomery, was first married to Jennie Ireland, whom I believe to be Sarah Ireland's sister since Stella and 2 young siblings are buried in James Montgomery lot in Allegheny cemetery. William John Steen was the son of David Steen and Mary Dickson. David and Mary, according to his biography in the "History of Allegheny County" had 5 living children when the bio was written: William John Steen, Thomas D. Steen, James B. Steen, Margaret Steen Walker, and Rachel Steen Blackmore. (The last name is so similar to your Rachel Moore Steen that maybe there is a connection?) The family was Presbyterian. Jo
