Thanks Joan, I have her and the info you listed in your note, I just could not find her as a Steen....I think the Chitta they refer to must be near the Kosciusko area, one of those little places that just disappeared of the map. May be O.D. or Ken would know something about where Chitta was... I am sure it was not the town in south Ms. that Peggy noted...

Ed, she was Mary Jane Downs, born 1820 in Ga. She married William M Steen Jan 1839 In Cobb Co, Ga. William and one of his sons was killed in 1871. Mary Janes parents were Josiah (Chenola) Downs born abt 1792 in Ga. Mother was Rachael Lewis-Willis. There was an article in the Kosicusko Star about her death. It said====Mrs Mary Steen, a venerable old lady of the Chitta neighborhood, died the first part of last week. She had been for the past twelve months drawing a pension from the government, as the widow of the late Wm Steen, who was a soldier in the Florida War. I miss not being able to look further. Gas was either too high for trips, then Terry's act-up. Maybe it won't be long until weather breaks and The Archives calls me. joan ________________________________ From: Ed Brown <ebrown7137@bellsouth.net> To: palmertree@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 9:44:50 AM Subject: Re: [PTREE] obits.
