Hello Cousin, The house is still standing and is called the Steckel/Troxell House. It's now a museum. It was purchased by Peter Steckel who married a Troxell. What a beautiful place. I've only seen pictures. There was a Steckel family reunion September 5, 1878 at that house and over 600 people attended (346 were relatives). Here's a site to view a picture of it: http://www.voicenet.com/~vpsoc/lchs/p_trox.html There's another one, but I can't remember it. Hope this helps. I have a little more information on the reunion. If anyone's interested. It's about eight pages and I could get it out to you Monday or Tuesday.
