WITHDRAWN From the Family History Library FOREWORD
My seventy-fifth birthday la approaching and It Is time for me to collect my genealogy date, and put It Into some kind of order which may be of use to my relatives, should they be Interested ln their forebears. When I look back over the seventy years which I can remem ber, I have a happy feeling that I have lived at a wonderful time in history. I can remember so many things which were new to our family from 1905 on. I remember when the first bathroom was put ln our house, saving us from going outside in the cold weather, and at night. It also saved the work of carrying great pitchers of water to each bedroom for bathing and then carrying out the waste water. We were proud of the bathroom as no one else in the community could boast of having one at that time. Then there were lamps which had to be carried down each day to be filled with oil and have the chimneys cleaned. These lamps were left on the sideboard in the dining room during the day,and as we went to bed one was carried to each room Later, we had acetylene lights put ln. Many years later the power lines were built and we had electricity. Just think of all the conveniences that came with electricity ln the home. I remember the first automobile I saw. It was a noisy,clumsy thing, scaring horses, chickens and dogs as it chugged along the Great Road "Rt.ll," ln front of my grandmother's house. It was some time before people in our community gave up their horses for the use of cars. Now they have combines for harvesting,a 11 kinds of engines to make farming easier, the airplane for quick travel, trucks for fast moving. I could never enumerate them all.But life should be much easier for people today. My mother and grandmother collected a great deal of the Infor mation and saved many old papers dating from 1790 on, all of which have been a great help to me. I want to thank those who have made it possible for me to add up-to-date information to what I was able to get from books. They are: Mrs. Mildred Andrews, Mrs.Reid Agnor, Mrs. William Bushman, Mrs. Melville Chatten, Mrs. Ralph Dalton. Mrs. Hugh Rader, Mrs. Berl Steele, Mrs. David Steele, Miss Lillian Steele, Mrs. Reed Steele and all the other people who have given me help, especially my husband who has been kind and patient, and without whose help I may not have finished this book at all.

David and Molly E. F. Smith Steele, of Steeles Tavern, Virginia
Henry J. Bland, a Methodist minis ter, and Henry Meade Bland, who grew up to become Dr. Henry Meade Bland, Poet Laureate of California in 1930. They are the husband and son of Annott Steele, daughter of John D. Charlotte Steele Davis, daughter of Steele, Jr. John D. Steele, Jr., wife of Judge James R. Davis. Midway (Steeles Tavern) Is situated on Halfway Creek Which Is the dividing line between Rockbridge and Augusta Counties, Va. The village has always been known as Midway because It Is halfway between Lexington and Staunton and, I am told, Is also midway between Baltimore and Knoxville. The post office was called Steeles Tavern because there were other Midways ln Vir ginia at the time. Also mall had been coming Into the village addressed "In care of Steele's Tavern." When John Steele was made the first postmaster ln 1825 the post office was called Steeles Tavern. Before the coming of the railroads, Midway was a village of some Importance. It was a stagecoach stop. The stagecoach leaving Staunton early ln the morning, made the noon stop to change horses and give the travelers a rest stop where they could have the noon meal. The tavern was run by David Steele, a Veteran of the battle of Guilford Courthouse, N.C, and later by his son John David Steele, Jr. A prized possession of the Steele family is a large brass bell which used to be rung when the stagecoach came in sight, warning the cooks to stir up the fire and have everything ready for the hungry travelers. The tavern, no longer standing, was built of logs about 1760. When It fell Into disrepair ln the 1870's the building was torn down and the logs were hauled away to be used ln building dams and foot logs, before there were bridges over
1 the creeks that run through the village. Besides the tavern, there were two stores ln the village. One of the stores was owned by Mr. John Spencer who sold It to Mr. Al Hess when he moved to Spottswood to open a business there with the coming of the railroads about 1884. The other store was owned by Mr. William Hopkins who married John Steele's dau ghter, Mary. Mr. Hopkins had a good business, so I have been told,until the Yankees came through during the Civil War and destroyed all his merchandise and much of his property. Mr. Hopkins was not able to recover financially from that loss and moved west with other members of the family. His great-great granddaughter now lives ln Phoenix, Arizona. When I was very small John Steele's youngest son, Marryatte Steele, operated a store ln that building, which faced the Great Road, (Rt.ll), and ran back along the road to Raphlne. The back rooms of that building opened on the Raphlne road and Mr. Deaver had a cobbler shop there, where we all went to have our shoes repaired.
The village had a number of shops, such as those used by an undertaker, a blacksmith, a wheelwright and a cooper, who made barrels for the flour mills. There was a tanyard and down the road leading to Vesuvius, below the flour mill, was a still- house where peach brandy was made at one time, a sawmill and a foundry, where plowshares were made. The other mill, which was on the same road but west of the crossroads, was a combination flour mill and cider press where apples were taken in the fall by the wagon load, to be pressed into cider. The cider was used mostly for making vinegar.
2 The village had an academy where the young people were schooled. Later, in 1884, a two-room schoolhouse was built. Here seven grades and four years of high school were taught by two teachers. This was called Midway High School. A little further north, on the east side of the Great Road was the Presbyterian church and cemetery. The first doctor ln Midway, as far as I know, was Dr. Alfred J. Hamilton, who married John Steele's daughter, Lucy. After Dr. Hamilton's death, Lucy Steele Hamilton married John B. Lavelle whose daughter by a previous marriage married Dr. John C. Hyde. Dr. Hyde had his office ln the house south of, and across the creek from, the town hall. He married Annie Lavelle,and two of their children, Hansford Hyde and Fauntle- roy (afterwards Dr. Faunt) Hyde of Brownsburg were born ln Midway.
Lucy Steele Hamilton Lavelle wrote and sold poetry to Peterson's Magazine in Richmond. Some of her poetry was con sidered very good at the time. Writing poetry was also an occupation of Lucy's sister's son, Dr..Henry Meade Bland, who was recognized by the state of California and was made Poet Laureate ln 1935. My grandparents, David and Molly Steele, lived ln the brick house across the Great Road from Dr. Hyde's (later Mr. Will Hess1) house. The house,forlorn where It stands now.does not resemble the house and yard of my grandparents. The fence, the tree, the flowers, the grapevines, and the stile and hitch ing post were done away with when the road was widened with the
3 movement of the first cars along the Great Read, 013 Plank Road, as some called it. We had some antlers hanging in our home that came from a deer my grandfather shot by the stile in front of the house when he and grandma were first married in 1869- When the Lee Highway was built through the village the read people gave my uncle, Frank Steele, the option of having the old house moved or of tearing it down and building another house further back. My uncle couldn't bear to see the old place torn down. So that is why it stands where it Is today. It was moved over on land that used to be my grandfather's apple orchard and garden.
We loved to visit our grandmother when I was a child. Grandma was badly crippled with rheumatism and was always at home. Her housekeeper had a big round tin box which she usually kept filled with delicious molasses cookies. My grandfather had two mills ln Midway. One mill, up the creek a little way from my grandparent's home, was a combination flour mill with a cider mill on the side of it. He sold that mill to his brother, Marryatte Steele, in 1884. Later it was owned by Mr. Ramsey who sold it to W.C. Searson. The other mill was down the creek from Midway about a quarter of a mile. My great-great-grand father built that mill about 1760 and It was one of the oldest mills ln that part of the country. It was modernized about 1906 and my father had a good business there, known as the Searson Milling Company, producers of Water Lily Patent Flour. Much of the flour was shipped to North Carolina from the Vesuvius station. The mills in the Shenandoah Valley experienced hard times when the mills out west were able to
4 ship flour Into the stores cheaper than the millers of the valley could make It. This mill was dismantled during the second World War, after It had gone out of our family. Just below the mill was a foundry, run by the Humphreys family, where plowshares were made. Those plowshares were considered the best to be had. Once we were taken through the foundry, "The Vesuvius Plow Works," as a group from the local school. It was exciting to see men working with molten Iron. One of the workmen told my brother to put his hand ln the big pile of sand and make a print with his fingers spread apart. The workman then brought a big pot of molten Iron and poured It Into the Imprint of my brother's hand. When the Iron was cold the Iron hand was such a perfect replica that the lines of the hand showed plainly. The creek running through Midway was called Halfway Creek, and it was the dividing line between Rockbridge and Augusta Counties. We lived on the McCormick farm and the Rockbridge- Augusta line ran through the house. So we could go to school In either Rockbridge or Augusta County. We went to school ln Midway, Augusta County, so we could see our grandmother every day. Walter Searson came to Virginia to manage the McCormick farm in 1886. He fell ln love with the beautiful, rolling hills of Virginia and for the rest of his life made It his home. He returned to England three times before his mother died, to see his family. He married Irene Steele, daughter of David Steele. They had seven children. Rush Searson
5 succeeded his father as manager of the McCormick farm, living there until illness forced his retirement in the early 1950s. When we lived there, huge trees stood in the yard, we had a tennis court on the lawn, where we also played croquet and other games. It was a lovely place for a large family and we all share happy memories of our childhood days there. The old log building, Steele's Tavern, stood on the west side of what is now Rt. 11 or the Lee Highway, in the field Just north of the Hopkins, Steele and later Ramsey store and house. The road and tavern were west of the big spring in the field at that time. It is said, people could step from the stage coach on to the steps of the tavern porch. It was here that David and Mary (Polly) Moore Steele, daughter of Captain David Moore, were living when the Marquis de Chastllleux and his compan ions stopped in I782 hoping to find refreshments. On pages 243-244 of his book, Travels ln North America, we find this account of his stop in Midway: "We set out therefore very early from Waynesboro on the 18th, ln hopes (as we had been told) we should find a better inn at the distance of 10 miles. But those hopes were vain. Mr. Smith, a poor planter, to whom we were recommended had neither forage for horses or anything for ourselves. He only assured us that 8 miles further we should find a mill, the proprietor of which kept a public house, and we found accordingly the mill and the miller. He was a young man 22 years of age, whose charming face, fine teeth, red lips and rosy cheeks, recalled to mind the pleasing portrait which Marmontel gives of Lubin. His walk and carriage
6 did not, however, correspond with the freshness of his looks, for he appeared sluggish and inactive. I inquired the reason and he told me he had been in a languishing state ever since the Battle of Guilford in which he had received 15 or 16 wounds with a hanger. He had not, like the Romans, a crown to attest his valor, nor like the French either pension or certificate of honor, Instead of them he had a piece of his skull, which his wife brought to show me. I certainly little thought of finding, amidst the solitudes of America such lamentable traces of European steel; But I was much touched to learn, that it was after he had received his first wound, and was made prisoner, he had been thus cruelly treated. This unhappy young man acquainted me, that overcome with wounds, and wallowing in his blood, he yet retained his presence of mind, and imagining his cruel enemies would not leave existing a single witness or victim of their barbarity, there remained no other way of saving his life than by appearing as if he had lost it. Even if Mr. Steele, our landlord, had been more active, and his wife who was young and handsome, more industrious, they could not have supplied the total want ln which they were, of bread and every thing to drink. The bread was Just kneaded, but not yet put into the oven, and as for liquors, the house made use of none; The same stream which turned the mill was the only cellar of the young couple. A few cakes, however, baked upon the cinders, excellent butter, good milk, and above all, the interest with which Mr. Steele inspired us, made us pass agreebly the time, which was necessary to put our horses in condition to perform
7 a long, difficult day's journey." A story told me by people whose ancestors lived in Midway at the time, is that two presidents stopped at Steele's Tavern on their way to Washington. This could be true, for Andrew Jackson and James Polk most likely did pass through Midway going between their homes and Washington, though I have no proof of it. John Steele, Jr., brought his bride Elizabeth, daughter of William and Charlotte Digges Moon of Albemarle County, to live with his parents in the fall of 1815. In 1818 Elizabeth, (Eliza) wrote Jane Steele McCormick, of Kentucky, John's eldest sister, that she had the promise of a home of her own ln the spring. This was a brick house, which still stands near the site of the old tavern. The outside of the building was greatly changed about 1955 but much of it is the same on the inside. John and Eliza Moon Steele had twelve children. Many of them moved west but kept in touch with my grandmother and my mother. Now they are all gone and their children are scattered.
Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church was started about 1834, when a few people gathered for services in the grove of big oak trees Just north of Midway on Route 11, where the present church is now. Robert Steele, son-in-law of David Steele, deeded two acres of land, "where a brick church is being built," to the trustees of Mt. Carmel Church ln 1836. Rev. James Paine was the first minister called. He served until I856. In I858, Rev. William Plnkerton was called and he served until I875. Rev. A. H. Hamil ton was installed In I876 and served until about 1915.
8 There are many changes ln Steeles Tavern. The spring on the north east corner lot at the crossroads has been covered up and the land filled in. There is a filling station on that lot now. New houses have been built and many new people live there. There are big industries in Waynesboro, Staunton and Buena Vista. People can get good jobs nearby within easy commuting distance. Farming is no longer one of the few industries, for there are many. People do not have to move elsewhere to make a living. The future of this community looks brighter than ever before.

9 -A THE STEELES 0 F Steeles Tavern and Related Families
In 1740 there were three Steele families living ln Augusta County, Virginia. Rockbridge was formed from Augusta County ln 1778- Tradition says the heads of these families were brothers, sons of Sir Richard Steele, who was born March 13, 1672 in Dub lin, Ireland, and died In Carmarthen, Wales, September 1, 1729- We find the name spelled without the final "e" in some families, but old letters show that those same families often spelled their name with the final "e". The spelling of family names was not as rigid as It 1B now. The Steeles were Scotch-Irish, coming to Virginia from Ireland by way of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The three supposed brothers were, David Steele, b ca 1700, Andrew Steele, b ca 1706 and Samuel Steele, b ca I709. Since David was the eldest, I shall take his family all the way to the present, first, then do the same with Andrew and Samuel Steele. David Steele, b ca 1700 d ln 1747 in Augusta County, Vir ginia.

It was here that Captain James Tate's men assembled in February 1781 before going to fight the British ln the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, March 15, 1781. Captain Tate lost his life In that battle and many more of his men who assembled ln Midway never returned from that battle. David Steele served as a wagon master ln that battle. He was wounded fifteen times by British sabres and left on the battlefield supposedly dead.
At night he crawled off the field and made his way tack to his comrades. Those who saw him said they never expected he would ever recover. His two most severe wounds were a shoulder wound, which gave him trouble for the rest of his life and a wound above his left eye. His skull bone had been cut through and the severed bone was hanging Just by the skin. That piece of bone was removed and a silver plate was put in its place and worn by him for the rest of his life. He lived to be eighty-four. He kept
this piece of bone, which is elliptical ln shape and 26 about the size of a silver dollar, to show his friends, saying it was the only medal he had to show. It is preserved to this day by his family. It is said David Steele had sandy- red, curly hair by which he was able to conceal much of his d isfigurement.

His grandparents were Samuel Steele b ca 1709 whose will was proved Feb. 16, 1790 and Fulton Steele. Little Is known of John Steele's education. But he seems to have received some good training, for the times, Judging from the very Interesting letters he wrote. Much of the Information ln this paragraph came from a letter, dated Sept. 7, 1774 from Col. Christian to Col. William Preston. John Bteele was with the six hundred men from Augusta County who rendezvoused at Staunton, Virginia, at the end of August 1774 to go to fight the Indians. They marched first to what Is now Lewlsburg, then on Sept. 11, 1774 orders came to march to the Ohio River. Since there were no roads of any kind, the 54,000 pounds of provisions had to be carried on 500 pack horses, while they drove 108 cattle ahead of them, to provide meat for the men. They averaged about eight miles a day and were ln Point Pleasant before Oct. 10, 1774, when the great battle between the Indians, led by Cornstalk and Logan, and the settlers, led by Col. Charles Lewis, was fought. It was ln the Battle of Point Pleasant that John Steele, who was about twenty years of age, was wounded and about to be scalped by two Indians when his friend, William Moore, shot one of the Indians and knocked the other down with his rifle. John Steele was a large man but William Moore was able to 53 shoulder him and take him to a place of safety before return ing to the fight. John Steele often said afterward, "There was no other man ln the army who could have done It, If he would; and no other who would have done It If he could." John Steele was commissioned second lieutenant, May 22, 1778 and was made a 1st lieutenant, Feb. 18, I78I. It was ln fighting ln the Battle of Germantown, Oct. A, 1777 that John Steele was shot through the body. He suffered from this wound and from the wound at the battle of Point Pleasant, for the rest of his life. He spent many months ln prison ln Charleston, S.C. After the war, John Steele served as a member of the Executive Council of Virginia. He was made a commissioner to treat with the Cherokee Indians when John Adams was president. In 1798 he was sent to Natchez, Mississippi as Secretary of Mississippi Territory. The first letter he wrote his father from Natchez dated Oct. 13, 1798 might be of interest: "Honored Sir, This by Charles Matthews being the first opportunity that has offered, I embrace It to Inform you of my safe arrival here on the seventh Instant, after a passage of seventy one days from Telllco Almost equal to a voyage from Ireland to America. I was sick the last twenty-five days, but not very 111. Am now recovering fast, and hope soon to be ln my usual state of health. For the last two or three years I was subject to a tickling cough. Of this complaint, the water and air of Tennessee together with the exercise I had, has relieved me. It is some time since I felt It. I presume from the observations I have already been able to make from the faces of the inhabitants that the country is much more healthy than I had supposed. I have been honored with a most friendly and polite reception by all who I have seen and flatter myself that my situation here will be an agreeable one so far as it depends on the people to make it so. I hope you enjoy health, and that I will have the pleas ure of seeing you as early as the situation of the Govern ment will admit. I have written to Sam this day—Wishing you all health and happiness—I am, honored sir Your affectionate son John Steele" *«**•><•*****«*** John Steele also served a short time as Governor of Miss issippi.

David and Polly Moore Steele had a daughter, Jane Steele, who married George McCormick. They moved to Henderson County,Ky. Some of the letters written by Jane's family are of Interest. Augusta County October the 9th, 1802 Dear Son and Daughter I would Just Inform you that there has nothing extraordi nary happened since I wrote to you by James McCormick. When I wrote by him I expected to have sent you the balance by Peter Alexander, but being disappointed ln collection I will not be able. I expected to have got the money from Robert Henry;but he has failed ln paying for the com you sold which came to one hundred and fifty one bushels. You wrote to me to for ward you some coffee. I have sent twenty pounds by Peter Alexander. I will send some money, about forty dollars. I have paid all the money I owed your brother William. You wish to know is the plantation sold. It Is not. Markets is dull. Beef cattle sells very low and it appears as if It was hard to know what would demand cash ln this county. I will pay Alexander for hauling the coffee. I would wish you to Inform me If you did not give Wilson five dollars extraordinary to take Henry's note as that note has fell into my hands and I wish to know. We have very dry times here. I add no more but remain yours etc. David Steele To Geprge and Janet McCormick Per Mr. Peter Alexander 62 Augusta County September the 12th,1803 Dear son and daughter: I now sit down to write to you to inform you of our welfare. There has nothing in particular happened in the family since you left this place. Aggy died a few days ago. I have not had my health very well since you saw me. Your Mother has had her health better than common. John goes to school and is learning middling smart. You wrote to me to know if the place Is sold; It Is not sold nor no probability of its being sold. You men tioned to let you know whether you might venture to purchase on Dependence from me, how soon and in what manner. As to that I cannot Inform you. I did expect to send what I suppose you meant by your brother James; but being disappointed in Collection I can not send more than about one hundred dollars. I expect to send you some more by Peter Alexander. He intends starting ln three weeks. Jenny mentioned to send her some coffee, if any oppor tunity. I suppose I will send it. It sells for two shillings and three pence per pound at this time. As to the times and seasons in place I suppose James can inform you. I add no more but wish to be remembered to the children. David Steele Jenny mentioned a negro girl. I suppose that will come as soon as can conveniently. The letter above was written by David Steele to George McCormick Scott County, Kentucky. Polly Steele to her sister Jane McCormick, wife of George McCor mick of Kentucky. April 16, 1807 Augusta City. Dear Sister: In my last letter to you I mentioned my sickness, which pre vented me from going to Kentucky. I then calculated on going in the spring, but spring brings reasons with it to stop me which shows the fallacy and precarlousness of all human expec tations, for I had long vainly flattered myself that I was to see you before this time which idea gave me infinite pleasure, but I am disappointed for the present. However, I still hope to see you though I know not when. I am so anxious to hear from you that I have sometimes thought of not writing to you again until I receive a letter from you. It is almost a year since I have seen a line from you, and I still think you have written and your letters have been miscarried. Write to me the first opportunity, a long account of your family, of their growth, their progress ln learning, and what you are all about, for the perusal of each letter must always give pleasure to a sister who feels as much interest ln your welfare as I do. There has some things taken place since I wrote last which you must feel concerned ln, therefore I will communicate them to you. In February your mother-in-law died after a long illness; and not many weeks before her death Polly McCormick, with one 63 of her children departed this life about ten days after the birth of the Infant aforementioned. Uncle William Moore has conditionally sold his possessions and talks of moving to the westward, but ln all probability his purchaser will not oom- ply with his contract, and if not, he must make a new sale before he moves. His family is all single yet except Jenny Forslthe, and she lives almost one mile from her father. She has no children. Peggy Paaze and her sisters are single yet and are very well, last week I was at the marriage of Cath erine Steele, youngest and last daughter to marry of Thomas Steele. She married Thomas Jackson. All the other matches that have taken place in our connection I have mentioned ln letters previous to this. There is no alteration ln this family. John goes to sohool. Your father had a severe at tack of the rheumatlck pains, but has recovered, and we are all enjoying health and contentment. Your mother Is heartier than you ever knew her. Give my love to George and the chil dren. I remain your loving sister. Polly Steele (Her mother-in-law was Martha Sanderson McCormick. Polly McCormick died Nov. 23, 1806.) **** Sxcerpts from other letters. **** From David Steele of Augusta County, to his daughter, Janet McCormick, ln Henderson Co. Ky. Written October 9, 1808. I once more sit down to write you to let you know that we are all well as far as I know. Polly Is in Lexington and has been there almost a year. I expect her home shortly. We have Just had the certainty of the death of Captain Samuel Steele. He died near Knoxville on his way to your state. Your brother still goes to school with Person Brown We still continue near as you left us, very scarce of money We have had a very bad summer season and the frost I think has kll'd all the corn ln the neighborhood. We have no price here for anything we raise since the embargo took place....There is great debat ing in our Stanton about the embargo, some for and some against It. Affectionately, Father Letter from Augusta County from Polly Steele to her sister Jane, "Jannet," McCormick in Ky. Sept. 20th, 1807. I have taken up my pen to Inform you that we are well Samuel Moore's death will prevent my going to Kentucky until I can get suitable company to go with Peggy Pcage Is lying with the white swelling in her leg, but appears not to be dan gerously ill. I send my most hearty congratulations to you on being the mother of another son and likewise on your recovery from the illness attendant on his birth. Your affectionate sister, Polly Steele 64 THE MOON FAMILY OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY The name Moon Is a corruption of the Norman name Mohun. Accom panying William the Conqueror from Normandy to England was William de Mohun who was said to be "The noblest man In the Norman Army." After the Norman Invasion and the Battle of Hastings, the Barony of Dunstar, whose history begins with the Doomsday Book, was given to William de Mohun by William the Conqueror, then the King of England. It is from William de Mohun that the Moon family of Albemarle County, Virginia is descended. Sons of Lord Mohun were among the early settlers near Jamestown.

It was not until I began studying the history of the Moon family that I realized what a list of Intelligent, highly edu cated people this family included. Among the Judges, attorneys, state representatives, ministers, educators, authors and doctors, is Dr. Orlanna Russell Moon who was one of the first women doc tors in the United States. She was the first woman doctor from the southern states, and was also the only woman commissioned as 82 a Burgeon ln the Confederate Army. Even more famous Is Orlanna's slater Charlotte (Lottie) Moon for her forty years of missionary work ln China, rep resenting the Baptist Church. There was also Virginia (Ginnle) Moon, daughter of Robert Moon who had many exciting adventures as a Confederate spy. This family has contributed much to the development of our country. 83 THE DIGGES FAMILY The name Diggea is a corruption of Degges or Degg, a family who came from the County of Chester, England, at an early date and settled in Virginia.

I have heard of only two other families of Searsons in America. My father's first cousin, Fred Searson, settled ln Calgary, Canada, with his family ln 1911- There was also a family of Searsons in Allendale, South Carolina, whose ancestors have been there since about 1748. My father, Walter Searson,came to the United States ln 1884. He had several Jobs ln Wisconsin. There he met Mr. Leander McCormick who hired him to come to Virginia to manage the McCormick Farm, the homeplace of the McCormick family,where the reaper was Invented. Walter Searson arrived by train ln Raphlne, Virginia, ln 1886 and was manager of Walnut Grove farm for 33 years. In I889 he married Irene Steele, daughter of David Steele of Steeles Tavern, Virginia, and took her to Talllngton, England, to meet his family, on their honeymoon. 'Walter and Irene Steele Searson had seven children. It was the wish of my mother that I get together as much of our family history as I could before the family became too scattered. It was from her notes and those of my grandmother, Molly Smith Steele,that I found a great deal of the information about the Steeles, Smiths and Calverts. The Searson history follows: Note, c stands for christened. 105 THE SEARSON FAMILY Penlaton Searson, a farmer of Spanby, Lincolnshire, Eng land , b 1749 d Oct.1821 at the age of 72.
