STEEL -
Am hoping to connect with someone who has information on my gr-gr- grandfather, Hugh Steel. His gravestone in Indiana says he was born in 1770, but WHERE? In 1796 he married Catherine Dunn in Bourbon County, Kentucky. If he was born in the same area, it would have been part of Virginia in 1770--Kentucke Co., I believe. Sure hope someone can help! Thanks!
