I have been watching all of these entries of John Steele, hoping and praying for a John Steele born in Virginia; married to a Elizabeth Lair also of Virginia. Lived in Ohio where their son Silas Wesley Steele was born ca 1850. I can't believe that with all the activity on this site, that no one is connected to my John Steele. One of these days I do hope to cross this steel wall that is between me and any progress of my line. My information is so sketchy, and what I have managed to get has come from Silas' funeral information. Pretty limited, I must admit. If any one has any clues for me, I would certainly be grateful.

Alicemae I've been searching for years for the parents of William STEELE (b. 1774 in Augusta Co., area Va. and d. in Gallia Co., Ohio in 1851). William married Elizabeth "Betsey" HANGER (b. 1784 in Augusta Co., Va. and d. 1852 in Raccoon, Gallia Co., Ohio). They had ten children, one of which was named JOHN STEELE (b. abt. 1804 in Augusta Co., Va.) and married 22 Oct. 1834 in Gallia Co., Ohio, to Rosannah HOPSON (b. abt. 1814 in New York). I couldn't help but wonder if this could possible be your John? Elizabeth LAIR could have been a second wife maybe? Just a thought.

Question- has anyone looked into the occurrences of the middle name Wesley among Steeles?? Was this a common middle name regardless of surname or is there a historical connection. I have a few John Wesley Steeles in my history but note that there are many other seemingly non-connected John Wesley Steeles and am curious about this. My John Wesley Steeles (my grandfather and great grandfather) were in/from the Vinton County, OH area. john evans - a real newbie at this genealogy Alicemae Abbott wrote: > I have been watching all of these entries of John Steele, hoping and praying > for a John Steele born in Virginia; married to a Elizabeth Lair also of > Virginia.
