Surnames: Steele Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YdJBAIB/2008 Message Board Post: My Great Great Grandfather's name was Edwin Palentine (known as E.P.)Steele.B. abt 1825 to 1836 Va. married to Julia A. Parker b. Mass. I know they were in Mass.,Kentucky, W.Virginia and Ohio at one time or another. I found a site by the "Angel" family of Germany who said that thier ancestors lived near an E.P. Steele in W.Va. at a place called 4 rivers. (near Angels River). I would like to know the name of E.P's parents. His mothers's name may have been Glasscock. From what I can tell the portion of Va. that he lived in became W.Va. after the civil war. He had a brother named George who died of yellow fever in the civil war and was buried at Vicksburg. I have come so far! But as you know the search is neverending. I would appreciate any help, And do appreciate the help already given.
