I have a John H. STEELE b: Mar. 1, 1818 in Pennsylvania. He married Mary Ann GEHR on Oct. 4, 1838 in Washington Co., Maryland. They lived in Maryland until about 1845 when they moved back to Pennsylvania. In the 1850 census they were living in Henry Clay township, Fayette Co. PA. Their children were Sarah A. b: abt.1841-MD, David b:abt.1843 MD, John B. b: abt 1845 PA, Isabella b: abt 1847 PA, and my gr grandfather, Denton George b: Mar. 10, 1851 PA. Denton married Mary Ellen Bullin Dec. 31, 1874 - not sure where. They lived in Clarke Co., Iowa in 1875 when my grandfather, Benjamin Franklin was born and moved to Kansas probably late 1880 (after the Iowa census was taken). From Kansas they moved to Green Castle, Sullivan Co., Missouri. Denton and Mary Ellen had 5 children, three of which lived to be adults. They were Benjamin, Leroy Denton, and Charles Morton. I have a lot of info on the first two, but none on Charles except birth date. It is family legend that the Steele's were Scotch Irish but I have not been able to trace them past John H. If anyone can tie in with his family I would love to exchange records with them. Dulca Baxter todulca@whidbey.com
