She is my Mom's cousin, and she has been researching the Steele family history along with my Mom and me. The Steeles are on my Mom's side(obviously, right?) and if you have a William Steele in 1913, we could be realted somehow, from what Patt says. My mom's parents were: (my Grandparents) Charles William Steele (JR) m. Mona Lou Folmar His father was: Charles William Steele (SR) m. Elsie Rhodes Then, my Grandfather's father's father was: Charles Bernard Steele m. Collonial Clesslie Griffith Does that ring any bells with you? If so, I probably have more info. that may help you. Let me know....you can e-mail me at: mommiof2cuties@yahoo.com Thanks for your time!:) Laurie :)

I have never run into this connection before. I am wondering where you got the book and if there are other copies in print. Also, were you successful in establishing a connection? I have been trying to do the same. I thought some info I rec'd from the Daughters of American Revolution that if you had someone who fought in the war OR helped establish colonies it would qualify for DAR membership (and access to their records). However someone else told me that the ancestor actually had to fight in the war. Do you know?

>From Chapter 1 of Alexander Lecky's 1905 book, "The Laggan and its Presbyterianism we find the following description of the district know as the LAGGAN: "On looking at a map of the County Donegal, it will be seen that the north-eastern part of the county, which is the most northerly part of Ireland, is a peninsula washed on the eastern side by the waters of Lough Foyle and on the western by Lough Swilly. This is Inishowen, a mountainous and, to a large extent, a barren country. Immediately to the south of it is a fertile and comparatively flat country, lying between the river Foyle and the upper reaches of Lough Swilly, and extending in one direction from the City of Derry to Stranorlar, and in another from Lifford to Letterkenny. This is the district which in by-gone times was known under the name of THE LAGGAN, and formed the most productive and desireable portion of the ancient territory of Tyrconnell..." This is also where many of my ancestors and yours came from; Defenders of Derry during the great siege, the defining moment in Ulster Protestant history. To an Ulsterman the Siege of Londonderry is what the War Between the States is to an American. Shortly after this event great waves of Derrymen left for America, first settling in Pennsylvania and then moving down the Valley of Virginia and into the Carolinas. This genealogical connection between the families of those who fought at Derry and those who settled in Augusta/Rockbridge counties Virgina and the Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier (Carolina Cradle by Ramsey) eventually reaches a climax on a little mountain in North Carolina on October 7, 1780. This is the area of history that myself and fellow researcher John Giocoletti from Florida have always wanted to explore in detail. This June we will be travelling to Derry and Belfast for some extended research into the family histories of those names that appear both in the records of the Laggan and at King's Mountain. Lecky's two books, "The Laggan and its Presbyterianism," and "In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery," published in 1905 and 1908 Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, North Gate Works, are a must for anyone wanting to discover their Ulster roots. The books real value for the genealogist is in the Appendix which is divided into several parts, the most important being the following: "The following are the names of men who attended the meetings of the Laggan Presbytery between the years 1672 and 1700, as ruling elders or as commissioners, together with the names of the congregations which they represented. They were doubtless the leading men in the districts in which they lived..." These lists are by Parish and I will give a couple of examples: Taboyn: Matthew Lindsay, John Aikine, Alexander Houston, Robert Cowan, Archibald Alexander, Robert Scott, Wm. Mackie, Wm. Bell, Robert M'Clellan, Richard Armstrong, Richard Moore, John Kilgore, Wm.

These lists are important when comparing names with the early landowners of Augusta county or the Baptismal records of the the Rev.

Dear Tammy, I don't have a clue who my Catherine Taylor Steele's parents were; I have a few photos marked STEEL on the back by great-aunt, but she muddled a few things so I don't even know how accurate they are. I wish I did have more information on her side. I have a photo of her costumed as Martha Washington for the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876, one with her husband Eugene DeHaven, one with her son Abraham and several alone. Sorry I can't help you more.

I have a great deal of data already on Stephen who married Susannah McCARTY, daughter of my 4th greatgrandparents, Thomas and Elizabeth (WILLIAMS) McCARTY. I would like to help my STEELE cousins fill in some of the blanks on Stephen's family. Thomas and Frances moved from NY to Jessamine co KY sometime prior to 1800, where Thomas left a will, dated 12 Apr 1809, proved Mar 1810 (WB A) mentioning his wife, Frances, his sons, Samuel, Jabez and Stephen, deceased daughter Anna's heirs, and son-in-law, David DAVIS. Stephen and Susannah were the parents of daughters with names starting with Z, (except the last daughter, Angeline) and sons with names starting with A and all had the middle name of PARCUTT. These sons included the famous Alphonso STEELE, the last survivor of the Battle of San Jacinto, of the Texas Revolution, who settled in Limestone co TX and left many descendants! .

The only Steele in my family that I'm aware of was Catherine Taylor Steele (1841-1894) and she married my GGG-Grandfather, Eugene Pyett DeHaven in 1863.
