Surname Saturday - Steele

We have earlier noted that Nancy’s maternal grandmother was Fredya Elsina Weaver Thomas. Her parents were Samuel Lewis Weaver (1852-1925) and Harriet Ellen Yager Weaver (1859-1939). Their family is pictured, below:

Children: Minnie, Sherman, Curtis, Fredya
Parents: Harriet and Samuel

The Weaver line is another very long one, going back to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, (where we had a long visit to work on this line) in the early 1700s and then to Switzerland for several more generations back. I will note here, as before, the generations per Nancy’s research.

Samuel Lewis Weaver (1852-1925) was the son of:

William Weaver (1822-1916) married Lavina Steele (1826-1891) - Wayne Co, OH

Samuel William Weaver (1795-1877) married Mary Stauffer (1802-1871) - Lancaster Co, PA

This week we will follow the Steele line. Next week, the Stauffer line.

The parents of Lavina Steele were:

Jacob Steele (1785-1871) married Mary Elizabeth Long (1788-1869(.

Jacob was born in Bucks Co., PA. He was the son of:

Jacob Andrew Steele (1755-1822) married Mary (Unkonwn) (1760-1827)

Jacob Andrew was born in Germany and died in Wayne Do., Ohio.
