Subject: Donno Inez Steele - I am trying to find out any information at all about the Steele family after whom Steele, Missouri was named. Family legend has it that it was named after a relative (perhaps brother) of my great grandmother, Donno Inez Steele. She was born in 1875 in Southeast Missouri (not certain of exact county). She married August Gross in the late 1800's and had 4 children. Somewhere around 1910 or so, she left her husband and her 2 older sons, taking my grandmother, Augusta and my uncle Pete (Leonard - who was just a baby) and remarried. She never had any further contact with her family as far as I know.
Does anyone have her name on their family tree anywhere. Any names, dates, anything, appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello All: I've been going back through collected materials and thought this might be of interest to those researching the Surname STEEL(E) from Scotland. The variants in spelling are quite interesting.

STEEL, Steele, Steill, Of local origin. There are places so named in the shires of Ayr, Berwick, and Dumfries. In Berwickshire the old parish of Steill is now Ladykirk. Henry Stel was juror on inquisition on lands of Hopkelchoc, 1259 (Bain, I, 2162), and William Stele, burgess of Edinburgh, 1423 (Egidii, p.45). John Steil or Steyll appears as pre-bendary of Kilmoir, 1434 and 1448 (REB., I 60; II, 74), and another John Steyll was tenant of part of Cowpergrange, 1486 (Cupar Angus, I, p.239). John Steill alias Kempy Steill was hanged for theft, 1524 (Trials, I, p.126*), George Steyll was the King's familiar servitor, 1530 (RMS., III, 957), and Jok Steill appears in the toune of Bowdene, 1567 (Kelso, p.519). William Steill was piper to one of two companies of Highland bowmen raised in Argyll, 1627, for service in France. William Steel (1809 1881), noted anti-slavery advocate and one of the organizers of the "underground railroad" (a system of secret co operation for assisting fugitive slaves to escape to Canada), was born in Biggar, Lanarkshire. Steell 1691, Steile 1453, Steyl 1446, Still 1686.

Subject: I am seeking these STEELE families and female ancestry -
/ Jonathan STEELE
// Sir Richard Steele b 1672 Dublin Ireland; m Mary Scurlock b 1678.
[this line MAY NOT REALLY be the progenitors of the Steeles Tavern Steeles.]
/// David Steele bc 1700 res Augusta Co VA ; m Jannet
//// Robert Steele bc 1730 res Augusta Co VA; m Maria Eliz. Wendel b 1748
///// James W. Steele bc 1752 Augusta Co VA; m Margaret Parks bc 1765
////// John Steele b 1782; m Mary/Polly Coffee b 1784
/////// Nancy Steele bc 1810/20 res Augusta Co VA; m Joshua Ramsey b 1820 Nelson Co
//////// Dabney Ramsey b 1843 Nelson Co VA; m Lavinia Fauver b 1842 Augusta Co
These Steeles are part of the Steeles of "Steeles Tavern, Virginia."
Tradition says that in 1740 there were 3 Steele families in Augusta Co VA [Rockbridge etc Co.s were formed from old Augusta Co.], David, Andrew, and Samuel.
James W. Steele family was part of the subset of "Greenville Steeles" as many of them lived in or near Greenville at the time. per Mildred Goeller's book "The Steeles of Steeles Tavern Virginia" which is I think, a central publication about this clan. but see: possible conflict with Chronicles of the Scotch Irish in VA by Lyman Chalkley p. 359 which lists James Steele m. Mary Parker. but see: marriage bond of James Steele and Margaret Parks in Rockbridge Co VA 17 may 1781 per Sylvia Echols.

note 1. Richard Steele is the traditional father of the Steeles of Steeles Tavern VA. per Steeles of Steeles Tavern by Mildred Goeller p. 10.
note 2. Sir Richard Steele was a titled gentleman b 13 mar 1672 in Dublin Ireland. He was an English man of letters. He is known for his essays in "The Tattler" and "The Spectator." He founded the Spectator with a Joseph Addison.
He edited and wrote for both these periodicals. In 1740 there were 3 Steele families in Augusta Co VA [now includes Rockbridge Co.]. The 3 brothers were David Steele c 1700; Andrew Steele c 1706; Samuel Steele c 1709. citing Ray Steele <105052.2040@compuserve.com >
note 3. no cite for wife Mary Scurlock b 1678.
note 4. Jonathan Steele was father of Richard per Ray Steele.
Agnes "Nancy" STEELE b 15 sep 1806 prob in Augusta Co VA. d 15 mar 1882; m[1] to MCCLURE. [___ McClure was the first husband of Agnes Steele per Sylvia Echols, quoting "The Steeles of Steeles Tavern VA and Related Families" p. 25 by Mildred Goeller. m[2] 15 mar 1832 to Samuel Houser, Sr. date of second marriage may be a clue to d of McClure. Steeles Tavern, Virginia and Related Families," by Mildred S. Goeller was probably published by the author as a printshop chapbook. address & date unk. includes "traditional" relationships. may lead to some faulty descents.
