MY STEELY ANCESTORS:

THIS PAGE UPDATED MAY 8, 2002

Lewis D. STEELY, b. circa 1785, N. C/S. C, d.bef. 10 Feb. 1835, Whitley Co., KY.
Married circa 1810 to:
Spouse: Delilah JONES, b. c. 1790/95, S.C.?(poss. of Wm. JONES, bro. of Simon P. JONES as her father. Not Proven.)

(Note: Isaiah STEELY & Milly JONES believed to be Lewis' parents, but not proven.)

Lewis came to Whitley Co. by Dec. 1823, from Chesterfield Co., S.C., with his 3 brothers: Isaiah Jr., William, John Calvin; his wife Delilah, and his 3 sons: William Riley, age 8; John, age 3; & Harrison, age 1. He also brought his 3 daughters: Mary Ann, Delilah, and 1 not identified.
He settled on 100/150 acres on the Cumberland River, where he went into the coal hauling business, taking coal from the land, down the river on a barge to Nashville, Tn. He was in this business venture with his brothers. Legend has it that he died when they pulled the barge in to bank of the river for the night and he built a fire under a rock overhang for warmth. When the fire heated up the rock, it broke, crashing down on him and killing him.

The only information I have on Isaiah Jr. is that he was b. circa 1802, N.C.and that he married (for the 3rd time) on Oct. 16, 1866 to Nancy WALTERS, age 25 from Wayne Co., KY. He was around 64/65 yrs. old at the time. He was also marr. to Sarah DODSON, prior to 1828. His 2nd wife is unk. to me, at this time. If you think this is your Isaiah, feel free to visit her Home Page for lots more information on him and his descendents.

His brother, John Calvin, b. 1812, N.C. (?), marr. Elizabeth WHITE, b. 1813, dau. of Richard WHITE, on May 8 1834, in Whitley Co., KY. This family went to Hardin Co., TN in the 1840's.
