Sherry, Looking through all my notes I noticed a William Steele in our chain of relatives born just one year away from the one you mentioned.(1813, 1814) Did Joanne mention this one ? an easy error on either side. It has him marrying in OH. His wife's first name is very similar to the one you listed: Eliza, Elizabeth, but the last name is HOLYCROSS. A death date for William Steele is 1877. Perhaps worth rechecking. Where did your family go after KY? Mine went to KS. Then my particular branch returned to IN around the turn of the century. I also believe there is somewhat of a link between our families, but I just haven't found it yet. I'll keep searching. Nancy
