> Married: 1. Margaret STEESE > b. 1793, near Freeburg, Snyder Co., PA > d. Aug. 1801 Hi - I loaned out my Centre Co Rev Soldiers book so I can't look this up, but Margaret Steese could not have been born in 1793 and died in Aug 1801 and still have been a married woman. I suspect the birthdate is incorrect, but I don't know if this is an email typo or an error in the book. Gloria Harbach
