He was born in Beverly, Adams County, IL on February 2 in either 1862 or 1865. His death certificate shows his father's name as "Hasbaring" which is a name that I cannot find anywhere. I found your post very interesting, however I do not see Jesse there. I did find in the Quincy library site a reference to a Grant Steele visiting Ida Rice (nee Steele). Jesse Grant Steele did go by the name of Grant at times. However, when I look at Ida who is daughter to Frank Steele, I don't see Jesse Grant Steele as a child in their family census. Jesse married Minnie Askew in Adams County. He eventually moved to St. Louis and later to Southeastern Missouri. I am wondering if you might have any ideas as to who Jesse's parents are. Thanks.
