Dear Dorinda, My cousin, Larry Steele of Fort Worth wrote the following to me: "There was a David C. Steele in Hill County at about the same time as our David E. David C's parents were James C Steele and Celia Green, and he was born Sept 18, 1829. They were from MO. He married Jemmia Hudson on Oct 13, 1870 in Hill County and had one son, James George Steele on Aug 9, 1871." Thus, I doubt that there is any connection. Our David E. Steele's brother, James, was James Franklin Steele. I have visited David E.'s grave in Scott's Chapel only once. I am amazed that you have seen it. Do you have any idea about your James C.'s parents? We are looking for our Thomas Steele's parents but we have not found any definite links. Good luck in your search. Sharon Steele Doyle Houston TX
