Hi Sherry, You may be interested in the following - I am not sure it is the same family, since there is mention of a JACOB. I got the information from the book, which has abstracts only. If you order the film, you may get some more info. If there's any possible connection to my John of Pendleton County, I'd sure appreciate knowing.

Does anyone know more about the lineage of this Sarah Steele? 1 Steele --------------------------------------------- Birth: England Spouse: Mary E. Birth: France Children: Sarah (1844-1934) 1.1 Sarah Steele --------------------------------------------- Birth: 16 Jun 1844, New York Mills, N.Y. Death: 19 Jun 1934, Oriskany, N.Y. on June 17, 1934 Mrs. Brown, widow of Charles Brown whose death occurred 12 years ago, is the oldest of five generations. The line of descent includes Mrs. Brown, her daughers, Mrs. William Williams of Washington, D.C; granddaughter Mrs. Bessie Holderige, Rochester; great grandaughter, Mrs. Isabel la Hulls, Rochester and great great granddaughter Miss June Hulls of Rochester. Mrs. Brown was the mother of 11 children. Four daughters, all born in the month of June by the way, and two sons, are living; Mrs. Place of Oriskany, Mrs. Williams of Washington, Mrs. Estella Jones of Oriskany, Mrs. Ella Merrill, Utica; George Brown, Stockton, Calif., and Frank Brown, Fall River, Mass. Mrs. Brown was born in New York Mills, has spent most of her life in Utica and Oriskany. She has made her home in the latter place for the past 50 years. Not for this cheerful woman the reminiscences usually associated with old age. Questions of the hour interest her deeply and her mind is as active as that of a woman half her age. She is seldom too indisposed for a motor ride with any member of her family or friends. Mrs. Brown is a Presbyterian and was active in church work until recent years.
