Message Board Post:
I don't know if Rebecca, daughter of Andrew and Delihad Steele, is related to Henry
Steele. I would like to exchange information with anyone who might know about the Steele
family.

Rebecca Steele
REBECCA STEELE (ANDREW STEELE?)was born 17 Jun 1840 in IN, and died 05 Nov 1908 in
Marmaduke, AR. She married JOHN SMALL, 24 Feb 1860 in Morgan Co., IN, son of UNKNOWN
SMALL and ELIZABETH MEDLEY. He was born Aug 1838 in IN, and died 1921 in Greene Co.?,
AR.
Notes for REBECCA STEELE:
3 year old Sarah C. Steel with Rebecca in 1860 census when she was only 19 and married to
John Small. Likely sister of Rebecca or niece
Who was Abby Opal Steele b. July 4, 1889 and d. October 8, 1890, listed in Virginia
Small's Bible (wife of George Small, son of John and Rebecca)?
According to Tina Easley website, Greene Co., AR, Rebecca is likely buried in Hartsoe
Cemetery in Marmaduke, AR. Inscription reads: Rebecca Small, June 17, 1840, November 5,
1908, Wife of John Small
1850 Census - Rebecca M Steele / Age: 11 / Estimated birth year: abt 1839 / Birth Place:
Indiana / Gender: Female / Home in 1850 / (City, County, State): Cloverdale, Putnam,
Indiana [only 20 miles west of Brooklyn]
If correct Rebecca Steele, then parents were:
Andrew Steele, 49, m, farmer, VA
Delihah Steele, 47, f, NC
The birth states don't match information in Rebecca's 1880 and 1900 censuses, but
she is also inconsistent in these records.
