Just confirmed that my ancestor Richard Steele was born 1773 in Queen's County. He died Nov. 6, 1856 in Grenada West Indies and a newspaper obituary from the island indicates Queen's as the county he originated. He left there in 1800 for the West Indies. He had siblings - Lydia Margaret 1770-1847 m John D'Acre; Robert m Frances Moore; Anne m Thomas Ringwood; and Catherine m M.T.Smith.
Looking for other researchers of these families. :)

Thanks Jack2227 and for previous contributions hoping one day to connect to these Steele 1800's generations. I suspect the father of my ancestor Richard Steele may have been born in Ireland between 1725-1750 to have had children of the age born 1770-1773. Cheers!
