I've seen David Steel's grave at Scott's Chapel. I was looking for Steels in Hill County and heard there was one buried there. It is fenced with an antique fence way back toward the rear of the cemetery, near the bluff that looks over the Brazos River. I have wondered if David Steel is the brother of James C. Steel who married Celia Green in Cape Giredeau, Mo. in 1821, later moved to Arkansas and finally to HIll County, Tx about 1850. Any connection? Thanks, Dorinda Marum, James C. Steel's 3rd great granddaughter. At 11:11 AM 2/9/01 EST, you wrote: >Decendants of ?
