General Notes: Husband - William Steel

---

His early ancestors were from Ireland, and on coming to the New World first located in eastern Pennsylvania, whence they removed to Westmoreland County and engaged in agricultural pursuits.

He was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, but he was reared in Westmoreland County.
In 1832 he removed to Indiana County, where from the wilderness he developed a farm. He was later employed in the construction of the old Pennsylvania canal, serving as foreman on a division for eleven years. He also owned several flat-boats which he used in transporting iron to Pittsburgh down the Conemaugh river, but later he gave his attention to farming.
Both he and his wife were earnest members of the Presbyterian Church
