Subject: [INMARION-L] UPDATING THE STEER GENEALOGY
Date: Wednesday, April 08, 1998 10:37 PM
Hello,
I've been working on putting together an updated version of the book
STEER GENEALOGY (Some Genealogy of a Steer Family) by Isaac S.
Russell
since about 1988.
I've recently discovered these Listserves for genealogy in various
counties so I thought I'd take a shot at this in order to collect
more
data for my Steer Genealogy records.
Here's a brief account of the beginnings of the family:
Isaac Steer married Ruth Mercer. They came from Ireland to Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania with their daughter Katherine. Three sons:
Nicholas, John & Joseph preceeded them to this country. The family
was
affiliated with The Society of Friends (Quakers) where many continued
for generations to be members.
The family eventually migrated down into Virginia settling primarily
in
Frederick & Loudoun Counties from which descendants spread to
other
areas in this country. Isaac Russell's book was printed back in 1891
so
as you can see much has happened since then. His book primarily
dealt
with the descendants of Joseph (Isaac & Ruth's son). I am
trying to
gather info. on ALL of the descendants of Isaac and Ruth Steer, or at
least as much as I am able to collect.
Being that the family is predominantly Quaker finding accurate info.
hasn't been too difficult. I have access to the books written by
William Wade Hinshaw which I am using now to further add to the Steer
Family records but again much has happened since Hinshaw published
his
Quaker records.
This family has branched out into many different surnames as well,
all
which can be traced back to Isaac and Ruth Steer. Some of the more
common surnames found in this family are: JACKSON, ROBINSON, BROWN,
SEXTON, HOLLINGSWORTH, FENTON, DEAN, KIRK, CLEVENGER, WHITACRE,
WALKER,
PARKINS, MAHANEY, MARKER, SWAYNE, POPE, HOUGH, GRIFFITH, LYTLE (or
LITLER), RICHIE, WICKERSHAM, WOOD, RUSSELL, NEVITT.
If you believe you are a descendant of Isaac and Ruth Steer I would
like
to hear from you. Could you please send me whatever complete info.
you
can give me on your branch of the family up to today's times plus
what
you know on collateral branches in your line. I need full names of
individuals, birth & death dates, places of birth & death, marriage
dates and places, spouses full names with birth, death dates and
places
as well and also the names of the spouses' parents with the
mother's
maiden name and the same for each child descending from the couple.
If
you don't have the complete info. I requested, that's ok,
just give
me
what you can.
If you wish you can include some biography about some of the
individuals.
Whatever information you can give me will be greatly appreciated as I
try to put together the most up to date version of this genealogy as
possible.
You can either send this to me by either e-mail at this address
steer_family(a)hotmail.com or you can mail it to me at this address if
you
don't have an e-mail provider:
Michael L. McKay
115 Morgan St.
Winchester, VA 22601-3829
Thank you for your attention to this. I'll reprint this letter at
various intervals in order for new listserve subscribers to read.
Michael LeHew McKay.
