PREFACE.
Several years ago, while doing some other genealogical
work, I made many inquiries regarding my maternal ancestry.
The information thus gained I laid away until recently, when
I began to think seriously of putting it into book form for the
benefit of others.
I sent out a circular letter stating my thoughts on the
subject, and in a short time enough subscriptions were secured
to justify me in going on with the work.
I have made great efforts to get exact and detailed data,
that this book might be complete and correct, and I felicitate
myself that my efforts have been remarkably successful.
I did my best to induce subscribers to furnish pictures of
themselves and families for the book, and I am sorry so few
have entered the family picture gallery. There will be many
regrets that no more pictures were put in.
There is not much of the book, but it contains the net
results of my investigations along our ancestral and family
lines. Those who read it will never realize the amount of
time and labor required to collect and arrange for publication
the material found in this little book. I hope it has not all
been in vain, but that the little volume may be a source of
interest, pleasure and profit for generations to come.
Fraternally,
Newton Chambers Steele.
Chattanooga, Tenn., 1st Dec, 1901.
Introductory Remarks*
We American people have been very careless about
genealogical matters until the last thirty to fifty years.
People of all new countries are so occupied with the work
of establishing government, commerce and agriculture that
they do not have time to give much attention to history,
especially genealogical history. Then there is the sense of
independence coupled with a restive and anxious, yet hopeful,
looking forward to the future, that tends to make the settlers
and builders of a new country ignore, and almost scorn, the
past.
In recent years there has developed in America great
interest and activity in genealogy. People are asking, Who
am I? and whence came I? All over our country individuals
and families are engaged in tracing their ancestral lines back
as far as possible.
Several years ago I began to hunt up the genealogy of
my own family, which up to that time had been almost wholly
neglected. I am what may be called a double Steele, both
my father and mother having been Steeles. As to the name,
some Steele families omit the final " e." The most of them
use it. Sometimes the final "e" has been omitted for
generations and then restored. The name is the same with
or without it. It is said that the name Steele is of Scotch
origin, and hence that all Steeles have Scotch blood in them.
Of this I am not certain, but it is probably true.
Scotland and Ireland are so close together that for
perhaps three thousand years there has been more or less
intimacy between their people. There has been constant
migrating from one country to the other. Inter-m^smages
have been numerous, and this has produced the so-called
Scotch-Irish people of which we hear so much. However,
this term is probably most usually applied to the mixing of
the Scotch and Irish in the last three or four hundred years.
Some apply the term to pure Scotch, who first came from
Scotland and settled in Ireland, and later came to America
without inter-marrying with the Irish at all.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries consid-
erable numbers of people emigrated from Scotland to Ireland
5

to escape oppression of various kinds, mostly religious
persecution. These settled largely in the Eastern and
Northern parts of Ireland. Many of them inter-married
with the best element of the native Irish people. Because of
exhorbitant taxation and religious persecution and oppressions
in Ireland many thousand of the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians
finally left Ireland and came to the American colonies seeking
more freedom and religious toleration. At first they settled
largely in Pennsylvania and Virginia, but later many families
migrated to North and South Carolina. Most of the Steeles
of America are Scotch-Irish, and most of these, as distinct
families, came directly from Ireland, Some came from
England and other European countries, but I think the most
of them claim Scotland as their ancestral home.
During my genealogical researches I have corresponded
with persons in about twenty states and in Ireland. I think
I have collected about all of the historical data concerning
my Steele ancestors that can be discovered. A few years ago
much valuable material now lost might have been secured.
The gathering of the historical and genealogical material
contained in this book has been an arduous task, but I have
been greatly interested in the work and count it a " labor of
love." It is not my aim or expectation to make one dollar by
the sale of this book. It is a contribution to systematic
genealogy. Many friends have very kindly assisted me in
gathering data, to all of whom I hereby return thanks. I
would like to mention some of them, but I do not wish to
seem partial.
EXPLANATION AND INFORMATION.
In a book containing the genealogy of a large family
connection, the great majority of the persons can be men-
tioned by name only. It would require a large and costly
volume to do otherwise. Books of this kind necessarily have
a very limited sale, and a large book would cost several dollars
each. Each picture and special pen sketch in this book has
been paid for by some one, and have not added to the price
of the book to those who simply buy the book. All pictures
are of persons mentioned in the book. As a rule I have used
the full legal form of a name instead of the family pet or
abbreviated name. For instance, I have written " Martha "
instead of "Mat" or " Mattie," "Margaret" instead of
CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
"Peggy," or "Maggie," "Susan" instead of "Sue" or
" Susie," " Mary " instead of " Polly " or " Mollie," " Eudora "
instead of " Dora," " Sarah " instead of " Sallie," " Elizabeth "
instead of " Bessie," " Bettie." or " Lizzie."
In this book a name in parenthesis usually means a
woman's maiden surname. For instance : If John Jones
married Miss Mary Steele, their names after marriage would
probably be written John and Mary (Steele) Jones, or John
Jones and Mary (Steele) Jones.
In the genealogical tables " b " stands for " born," " m ''
for "married," and "d" for "died."
Every name in the war chapter can be found in its proper
place in the body of the book in the "family" mentioned
after the name in the war chapter.
"Tradition," which is often used, means handed down
orally, that is, from mouth to ear and not by written record.
Of course there sometimes has been a record made of oral
tradition.
In a work like this, it is practically impossible to avoid
all errors. Be charitable about them, I used the names,
dates and other information furnished me by others. Of
course there will be errors in names and dates, and it may be
your name or the date of your birth or marriage that I have
gotten wrong. It may all be my fault, but it is possible that
it is yours. I discovered and corrected many errors in the
names and dates that were sent me. I believe the genealogy
is the most complete one of its size ever published. I have
given an exact account of every descendant of Captain Ninian
Steele except, possibly, the immediate family of one man.
(See Family 39.)
HOW TO FIND YOUR NAME OR TRACE YOUR FAMILY.
Examine the Index first ; that may help you. If you
don't find your name there look for the name of some prominent
person closely related to you. Find that person and you can
find your own name easily. If you know through which of
the children of Ninian Steele, the First, you have descended,
turn to Family No. 1 and trace out your line. The words
" see family " after any name points forward to that person's
own family. The words " see family " after the regular
family number at the beginning of each family point back to
the origin of that new family. A few moment's study will
make it all plain to you.
HISTORICAL SKETCH.
CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE
AND HIS
DESCENDANTS.
In a previous book, "Archibald Steele and His Descend-
ants," I gave the genealogy of my paternal family " lines."
In this volume I shall deal mostly with my maternal ancestry.
It so happens that this, too, is a " Steele line," but the two
lines do not spring from the same ancestor, so far as I have
been able to ascertain.
Ninian Steele, my mother's grandfather, was born 24th
December, 1738. I am not sure where he was born, but
I think it was in Ireland. It is certain that he or his
father came from Ireland to America. My opinion, after
hearing all available evidence, is that, when quite small, he
came from Ireland with his father and settled in Chester
county, 'Pa. One old record says he was a native of that
county. He grew to manhood there and removed to Iredell
county, N. C, before the Revolutionary war, in which he was
a patriot soldier. (See War chapter.)
On the 15th March, 1770, he married Miss Elizabeth
Chambers, who was born 6th March, 1748. She was a daughter
of Henry and Jane (Futhy) Chambers, of Lancaster (possibly
Chester) county, Pa. tienry Chambers was born 13th July,
1708, and his wife in 1715. They were married 14th Novem-
ber, 1735. Henry Chambers and family moved to Iredell
county, N. C, about 1754, where he died 26th October, 1783,
and she 25th June, 1781.
Miss Anna Steele, who is eighty years old, now living at
Hico, Texas, and who is a great-granddaughter of Henry
Chambers, says that the latter's wife's maiden name was Jane
Futhy.
Ninian Steele probably first met his future wife in Iredell
county, N. C, where he and the Chambers family settled after
moving from Pennsylvania.
It is not certainly known what Ninian Steele's father's
9
10 CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
given name was, but I think from the slight evidence I have
found that it was Samuel, and that he had two brothers in
North Carolina named Samuel and Robert, respectively.
" Ninian " is an old Scotch name, dating back to or beyond
the sixth century. It was the name of a celebrated Christian
missionary to the Picts and Scots of Scotland. It was often
pronounced Nenian, and now it is sometimes spelled as thus
pronounced.
Ninian Steele's mother was a Futhy, and Miss Anna
Steele above mentioned says that she was a sister of the wife
of Henry Chambers, thus making Ninian Steele and his wife
first cousins. It is possible that she has confused Henry
Chambers with his son, Henry Chambers, Jr.
Ninian Steele was a man of more than ordinary influence
and enterprise in his community. It is positively claimed by
his descendants in Iredell county, N. C, that he built and
operated the first cotton gin ever known in that state. He
built it after reading in a letter a description of the Whitney
gin invented in 1793. It was situated on a fork of Fifth
Creek near his home, ten miles from Statesville, and was run
by water power. Parts of that first gin still exist.
Ninian Steele was known in his county as a "peace-
maker." Tradition has it that he sometimes actually paid the
amount of money in dispute between neighbors in order to
stop a neighborhood broil. While he did not hesitate, as we
believe, to act the soldier in war, he was emphatically a man
of peace in times of peace. This was certainly an excellent
trait of character— a noble heritage to leave his children.
It is much to be regretted that we know so little about
him of whose character we have these few glimpses.
He died on 30th December, 1813; his wife having died
26th January, 1810. Both were buried in Statesville, Iredell
county, N. C. (For further remarks see War chapter.)

This ends the Genealogical Department. I'here is one
fractional Family (86^), and one omission (174), thus leaving
182 as the full number of families.
There is one given name in this Genealogy that occurs
often, and is spelled several ways by those using it. It is
Miles, Milas, Milus or Mily. I suppose Miles is the original
and correct way of spelling it, and I have usually so spelled
it, but Milus and Mily are more euphonious.
CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 69
MILITARY CHAPTER.
THE STEELE5 FN WAR.
I will here briefly record the military history of Ninian
Steele and his descendants in the Kevolutionary War, and the
great Civil War of 1861-5, and the Spanish-American War of
1898- The Steeles have always been quiet, peaceable cit-
izens— the most of them leading the plain retired life of
the farmer. They had no taste or training for war.
ROLL OF HONOR.
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
CAPT. NINIAN STEELE.
So far as I have been able to find there are no official
records that prove that Ninian Steele the First was a soldier
in the Revolutionary War, but I hardly have a doubt that he
was. Military records in the Carolinas were very imperfect
during that war. Absence of oflScial records of such matters
is not positive proof that they are not history.
Ninian Steele was thirty-seven years old when the war
began. He was a good citizen and an Irish Presbyterian, and
thus it seems there was every reason to suppose that he would
take an active part in the struggle for liberty.
FAMILY TRADITION.
1 have a letter from a lady now eighty years old whose
mother was an orphan girl reared in the family of Ninian
Steele. This lady says that she has heard her mother say that
Ninian Steele was a soldier in that war, and she used to hear
her tell how afraid the wife and children of Ninian Steele
sometimes were, while he was gone to the war, and the Brit-
ish and Tory troops were reported to be in the community.
There was no man at home to protect them, and the terror of
those terrible days and the nights of suspense deeply im-
pressed their minds with the facts and the reasons for them.
Hence I think we may rightly claim that our paternal
ancestor was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
70 CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
He was afterward called captain, but I have no evidence
that he was a captain in that war. Perhaps he was, or he may-
have been a captain of a company of State militia after the
war. The custom, so common now, of calling almost every
man by some title did not prevail in those days. Hence, when
a man was called captain or colonel then he usually was
entitled to it in a military sense.
THOMAS HAMILTON.
Thomas Hamilton (See Family 151) was in the war of
1812, under General Jackson, and received a knife wound in
the arm in a fight with the Indians. Nothing more known of
his military history. He was born in North Carolina, and I
suppose volunteered as a soldier from that State. He after-
ward lived in Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, dying in
the latter State.
THE CIVIL WAR OF 1861-65.
During the great Civil War between the Southern and
Northern States, 1861-65, twenty-four descendants of Ninian
Steele were soldiers in the Confederate army, and so far as I
know, not one in the army of the North. All of them lived in
the South. There were fourteen Confederate soldiers who
before or since that war, were directly connected with the
Steele family by marriage. They are mentioned at the end of
this chapter. I shall mention each one of both classes and
give his company, regiment, and tell what office he held, if
any, and whether he was captured, wounded, killed or died of
disease while in the military service. Only brief mention will
be made of most of them, because my information about them
is limited. No effort was made to gather data concerning
them until thirty-three years after the war closed, by which
time many of the important actors who survived the war were
dead.
While a people of peace and having no love for war, the
Steeles were prompt to respond to the call of their several
states to defend those States from what they believed to be
an unjust invasion. They honestly believed in " State
Rights," and acted on that belief. They fought to the end,
but when they were whipped by overwhelming numbers and
resources, they retired peaceably to their homes without any
CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 71
feeling of dishonor, and determined to be as industrious and
as loyal citizens as they had been brave and sacrificing
soldiers. In all of my investigations, 1 have not heard of one
of them who, as a soldier, shirked his full duty or flinched
from danger. I have arranged their names in alphabetical
order. I have worked hard on this chapter, and have been
very careful to get these records exactly correct, and I think
I have them nearly so. They are not as full and exact as I
desired, but I don't think I am blamable for that. Several
gentlemen have done much to help me in this work, but others
have remained deaf to my pleadings for information.

(The last three were brothers, and also brothers of the
writer of this history.)
(24) Steele, Sinclair Ninian (See Family 175), enlisted
as one of a Company of boys and men then organizing in his
County. Because of the fact that very few men then
remained at home, nearly all having already gone to the war,
the County officials persuaded the members of this forming
Company to remain at home for the protection of the women
and children. There was a large number of negroes in that
County, and it was thought best for some of the white men to
stay at home, Mr. Steele afterwards served the Confederate
Government by making gunpowder for it free of charge. He
lives in Hale county, Ala.

SPANISH=AMERICAN WAR OF 1898.
In our war with Spain in 1898 there was no necessity for
many soldiers from each State, and there were no real "de-
fend the flag" or "fight for your firesides" arguments to stir
the people to war. So far as I know only two of our large
family were soldiers in that war. I name them below :
(1) Morton, Benjamin Alexander (See Family 76). In
Company D, First Arkansas Infantry. Enlisted 23rd April,

CAPTAIN NINTAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 83
NEWTON CHAMBERS STEELE.
(autobiography.)
Laying aside editorial formality and " false modesty," I
will write in the first person singular number. I am the
fourth son of Mary Ann Steele and John Newton Steele (See
Family 122) and was born on Thursday, 20th September,
1849, in Limestone County, Ala., two and a half miles south-
east of what is now Elkmont, and seven miles north of Athens.
Both of these towns are on the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road, from Nashville, Tenn., to Decatur, Ala. This road was
built in 1858, and Elkmont came with the opening of this
road, which was after we moved to Mississippi.
I was born in the house my grandfather, Robert Steele,
built in August, 1818, and which is still standing.
I remember a few incidents only of my life in Alabama-
One is that it was in one of the small perennial streams of
Limestone County that I had my first experience in fishing with
a real fish-book. I did not catch any fish, but I lost my hook.
A large boy named Smith took it from me by superior
"muscle." We called the stream I fished in the "Tanyard
Branch" because it ran through father's tan-yard and supplied
it with water. Father had taken me with him to the tan-yard
that day and I suppose he gave me the hook to amuse myself
with and incidentally to keep me out of his way while he
worked.
Another Incident. — One day I went with "Elic," a colored
boy who belonged to father and who was several years older
than myself, to pick cotton near an old orchard. Some
neighbor boys who came to get apples asked Elic my name,
and he said it was " Pewter." The boys laughed and I felt
cheap. Why he called me " Pewter " I do not know. Per-
haps he thought I was too " soft " to be called Steel(e).
Again. — I was a very awkward boy and I tumbled out of
wagons and off of horses every chance I got, and that was
often. One day I fell out of a standing wagon and hurt my
left arm badly. A day or two after my hurt and while my
arm was still in a sling. Brother William and I went to a field
where some men were plowing. I saw a black dog quite a
84 CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
distance away and he began barking at us vigorously. This
scared me badly, and in order to get out of dog-danger we had
to climb over a high rail fence. William got over quickly, but
the top rail turned with me and I fell off backward — on the
wrong side, of course. I was then worse scared than ever,
but I got over that fence in short order. You see, that dog
was still barking and I just had to get over the fence, and
what a fellow has to do he usually does !
When safely on the other side of the fence I took time to
look back through my tears and a crack of the fence, and saw
the dog standing just where I first saw him. I don't suppose
that he ever had the slightest intention of molesting us.
It is often so in life ; we get scared by mere noise when
there is but little, if any danger.
Not long after that I had another scare by a dog. I came
suddenly upon a stray dog asleep in the orchard, and the way
I made tracks down the narrow path through the tall weeds
may be imagined. It was ludicrous then no doubt, and it
may seem funny now, but at that particular time it was a
serious affair with me. In my head-long run to escape the
strange dog I fell full length in the path. I did not have to
be told to get up, but I got up, and that in a hurry. I suppose
the innocent dog slept on, perhaps dreaming of happy hunt-
ing days to come.
I was not more than four or five years old at that time
and had not become as well acquainted with dogs as I did a
few years later ; had not made them my " bosom friends," so
to speak.
Well, I fear that all of this seems rather silly to many of
you, especially if you are so old that you have forgotten your
" dog-days " — but I expect some " small boys " will read this
book, and I know that boys like dog-tales, even poor ones
like these.
These stories, however, are tame compared to those I
could tell as having happened during the wonderful boy-and-
dog times that " we boys " had in Mississippi with old Watch
and Tige of blessed memory ! We had great fun hunting
rats, cats, rabbits, coons 'possums and squirrels, but I must
not tell any more dog stories here. Those wanting more and
richer stories of various kinds, please consult my new story

book, " Our George and the Old Farm," which unfortunately
has not yet been written.
In the autumn of 1854 we removed to Mississippi. Fath-
er's nephew, David Gibson Montgomery, went with us. I
remember that mother, myself and my youngest brother,
then the baby, rode in the old heavy family carriage. Father
or cousin Gibson usually drove the carriage. One day we
came near having a serious accident, caused by the carriage
running backward down a hill. Young Montgomery saved
us by catching the carriage with his shoulder, he being a
young man of great physical strength. I distinctly remem-
ber crossing the Tennessee river at East Port and how I
peered into the river hoping to see a fish.
We drove our "stock hogs" with us all the way to Mis-
sissippi, one hundred and thirty miles, and kept them up for
several months. They were then turned out. Soon after-
ward two of the older hogs were missing. In a short time a
letter came from the old home in Alabama stating that one
of our hogs had just gotten back there. He was
known by father's peculiar mark. A man bought the hog
and sent father the money for him. This hog, after months
of confinement, had found its way back, one hundred and
thirty miles, to the old home in Alabama. He had to cross
the Tennessee river on his way there. How he crossed the
river and what became of his traveling companion are
questions I cannot answer.
On reaching Mississippi we settled in what was then
Tishomingo county. Father had bought the "David Cogsdell
place," which was half a mile west of Tuscumbia river. Ja-
cinto, sixteen miles away, was then the county town. Our
postoffice was Kossuth, a small "cross-roads" town four miles
west. Corinth, five miles east of us, was founded about the
time we moved to the State. It soon became the chief trad-
ing point of the county, and after about 1868 was the capital
of our county, which was then given the name of Alcorn. It
was a part of old Tishomingo county, which had been subdi-
vided. Corinth is at the crossing of the Memphis & Charleston
and Mobile & Ohio railroads, both of which were built soon
after we reached the State. I don't mean to intimate that we
had any influence in founding the town of Corinth, or in
building these railroads. A chronological coincidence only.
86 CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
My boyhood days were in a general way about like those
of many other sons of farmers. My father had a strong and
abiding belief in work and much of it. He believed that work
was good for boys and that boys were good for work, and he
put this belief into real live practice. Hence, I and my four
brothers had abundant opportunity for physical exercise. We
did not need an artificial gymnasium like city boys now need
and have. We were taught by personal experience to do all
kinds of farm work. We cleared ground, dug ditches, split
rails, made brick, built fences and " raised " houses. Build-
ing a house of logs was often called " house raising."
In addition to farming we had a small tan-yard and we
learned the whole process of leather-making from beginning
to finishing. On the farm we raised wheat, oats, potatoes,
corn and cotton, and many kinds of fruits and vegetables.
Father believed^n raising on the farm everything we needed,
and as a rule what we did not produce on the farm we did not
have or use, except such things as sugar, coffee, salt, etc. I
still believe that policy is a good one for the ordinary farmer
to practice.
We boys did a great amount of hard work, but we had a
corresponding amount of jolly good times and good health. I
could write a book full of farm fun and frolic.
Father owned a dozen negro slaves, and among them
were several boys : Elic, George, John, Scott and Jim. We
five white boys and the five negro boys of almost corresponding
ages worked and played side by side for years. Of course
there were the sharp lines of distinction drawn in eating,
drinking, sleeping, and in what is known as social life.
The negroes all understood these lines of distinction and
never seemed to think of breaking over any of them, and as
far as I remember never considered them hardships. They
did not attend church with us, but were free to go to church.
They were not sent to school, but most of them were taught
to read. One of our negro boys, George, although not consid-
ered any too '' bright " was pretty good at " figuring with his
head." I remember that when I was quite small George used
to give me lessons in " counting," as he called it. He was
several years older than 1. We " boys," white and black, had
more fun at the expense of George than of ail the others put
together and for twenty years George has served as the " hero
CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 87
center " around which I have spun stories to amuse my own
children.
In 1859 my father sold the " Cogsdell place," having fully
determined to move to Texas or Arkansas. He went to those
States that fall, traveling on horseback looking for a new
home, and actually bargained for one in Rempstead County,
Ark. He concluded to remain in Mississippi another year,
as he could not get immediate possession of the place in
Arkansas, even if the trade should be completed. He rented
a place twelve miles south of our old home and near Rienzi,
and we lived there during 1860. This was the year of the
exciting presidential campaign which resulted in Lincoln's
election and a division of the country and a foolish, terrible
and fraticidal war. I was a boy of ten and remember distinctly
about that election ; but I do not remember so much about
politics as I do about the great numbers of wild pigeons that
flocked over the country. The air was often filled with them,
thousands and hundreds of thousands being visible some-
times. All that Fall and winter (1859-60) the country
literally swarmed with them. Where this innumerable multi-
tude of pigeons came from I have never been able to
ascertain, and why they left us and where they went is as
mysterious as their coming.
The trade for the Arkansas farm fell through and father
bought the " William Kerr" farm on " Prairie Branch," three
miles north of Kossuth, and eight and one-half miles west of
Corinth, Miss., to which we moved in the Autumn of 1860.
This farm lies on both sides of the little creek called " Prairie
Branch," which rises among the low hills a mile or two to
the west. The land was very fertile, and a part of it was
genuine original prairie lands, and we boys were proud of
that. Again Kossuth became our postoffice town. It boasted
of two stores, the postoffice, a school house, two churches, a
blacksmith shop and a small plow foundry. Our nearest town
( ?) was " Boneyard " one mile west of our house. It consisted
of a carding factory run by a "tread wheel," with two oxen
as the motor power, a blacksmith shop, and a saddle and
harness shop. In its palmy days it had had a store, but that
was before the days of railroads.
I was at that time eleven years old. I had already
attended the neighborhood " subscription schools " off and on
88 CAPTAIN NmiAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
since I was six or seven years old. There were no free
schools in the South then, but I may add, parenthetically, that
there were more high grade schools in the South at that time
in proportion to population, than in any other portion of the
United States. No such school for bo.^s was then in our
community, I am sorry to say.
My first school teacher at our new home was James L.
McLean, who is now living in that neighborhood.
The next year the war came on, and my teacher and my
elder brothers, Joseph Robert and Milus Jackson, joined the
Confederate army. Then for four years we experienced the
suspense, horrors and uncertainties of war.
First came the excitement of organizing, equipping and
drilling the companies raised in our neighborhood, with all
the confusion and interruptions to social, educational and
business life involved. Next the massing of the Confederate
army at Corinth early in 1862, and the great battle of Shiloh
on the 5th and 6th of April, that year, which we heard dis-
tinctly. After that battle until the army left Corinth, the
last of May, there was a vast amount of sickness among the
Confederate soldiers, and almost every farm and village
home for twelve miles west and south of Corinth, was a pri-
vate hospital for sick soldiers. Our house was full of them
for weeks. We boys enjoyed all that very much.
When the Confederate army left Corinth the Federal
army of course became masters of that region.
Father took his negroes and nearly all of his horses and
mules to South Alabama, where he kept them until near the
close of the war. The Federal army took everything that
was in sight, and much that was not in sight.
I distinctly remember the battle of Corinth on the 3d and
4th of October, 1862, when Van Dorn and Price tried by di-
rect assault to retake the town, which was thoroughly fortified
and garrisoned. Although eight miles from our home the
terrible cannonading shook our house like an earthquake. One
door was shaken open and the windows rattled as if the glass
would be shaken out. There were Federal pickets in our
orchard that day, and my mother, although very feeble, was
forced to cook dinner for them, the soldiers riding through
the gate right up to the door to make their demands. I had
to take them their dinner. They were very nervous as the
CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 89
cannon at Corinth boomed and roared and I thoroughly
enjoyed their trepidation. They were unnecessarily alarmed
however for the Confederates were repulsed, and for us times
were darker than ever.
How our mother and her five children lived through that
dark period it would be hard to tell. We had some bacon
hid away in the attic and we made meal by rubbing ears of
corn on a coarse grater which was made of an old piece of tin
by punching holes through it with a nail. As I now remem-
ber we boys were not much troubled in mind or body. Cares
sit lightly on the shoulders of youth.
During the war I went to school at different times to two
lady teachers. Right here I will give in chronological order
as best I can remember the names of all the teachers to whom
I went to school ; Mr. Buchanan, Rev. F. M. Moses, Lemuel
Murdaugh, William H. Cogsdell, Hartwell Briggs, Mrs. Smith,
James L. McEean, Miss Marietta Hill, Miss Mary Porter,
Elijah T. Nicholson and Mr. Johnston.
1 had my full share of innocent school-boy fun, and I
fear that I loved to play marbles, fox-and-hounds, "bull-pen"
and town-ball, better than to study. I was just an ordinary
rough-and-tumble school-boy with a good many angularities
of body and disposition, but somehow I never gave my teach-
ers much trouble and never got a straight-out whipping at
school in my life. I don't remember that any of my teachers
ever complimented me but once and that was when one of
them told my father that he always dreaded to see me coming
to him with a problem in arithmetic, for he knew by experi-
ence that it probably would be a difficult one that I would
bring him to solve.
When j&nally the black, desolating cloud of war rolled
away we found ourselves all alive and at home again — all
except one. My second brother, Milus Jackson, the favorite
of the family, had fallen mortally wounded on the battlefield
of Franklin, Tenn., 30th Nov., 1864, while in the act of leap-
ing over the parapet of the enemy's last line of works. We
missed him long and sorely. With the vivid imagination and
strong hope of youth I could not for years rid myself of the
thought that he would come home some day, although I knew
that was impossible. Today my eyes fill with tears as I write
of those dark times and terrible experiences thirty-five years
90 CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
ago, and especially of his sad fate.
Coming back to the farm again, we went to work with
renewed energy to repair our "broken fortunes," and to try to
be and do something in the world. We rebuilt the burnt and
neglected fences, reopened the old ditches and dug new ones,
and soon had the old farm in pretty good condition again.
I made a full hand on the farm from the time I was six
years old until I was twenty-one, and I never missed but one
full summer's work in all that time. After the war, just as
before it, I went to school during the winter, and sometimes
after crops were " laid by," and one year I went all summer,
which was something unusual on our farm. I never attended
a literary college. Father offered to give me a complete col-
lege course, but as my health at that time was much im-
paired, I thought it best not to go away from home to school.
He managed to send all of his other children to college. I
now think that I made a mistake in declining to go, even
under the circumstances. I have tried to make amends for
this lack of college training by " picking up " all the educa-
tion I could along the wayside of a busy life.
When, as a boy eight years old, I "ran up against" the
multiplication table, I thought it was the greatest problem
that I would meet in life. But I soon mastered that. I re-
member distinctly that when I had mastered the multiplica-
tion table a new problem more serious than it at once con-
fronted me, and that was the problem of personal religion.
I made more or less serious attempts all along through my
youth to be religious, and to "get religion," as expressed in
those days. At a great " revival " of religion, conducted by a
Methodist circuit rider, Kev. Jas. W. Honnoll, at old Pleasant
Valley Church, I made a public profession of religion. That
was on the night of the 24th of September, 1867, and on the
13th of October following, I and my brothers, Joseph Robert,
and William Harvey, united with the Shiloh congregation of
the C. P. Church, Rev. Robert B. Wear, minister in charge.
The church house was in one quarter of a mile of our home.
On the 20th of September, 1870, the day I was twenty-
one, I began to " read medicine " in the office of Dr. J. M.
Taylor, of Corinth, the most accomplished physician in that
part of the State.
During the winter of 1871-2, 1 attended the medical de-
CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 91
partment of the University of Louisville, at Louisville, Ky.
The next summer (1872) I continued my studies with Dr.
Taylor, and that winter I attended "lectures" at the medical
department of the University of Nashville, at Nashville,
Tenn., from which school I graduated the 26th of February,
1873. I may be pardoned for saying that I had the good for-
tune of winning more prizes than any other member of my
class, and stood the highest in my class on surgery. The next
month, March, I opened an oflSce in my father's house on the
old farm, and at once began to get a good share of the neigh-
borhood practice.
I rather wanted to go to Memphis, Tenn., but father and
mother were then alone. All the other children were away
fjom home, some of them being at school, and they very
much desired me to remain at home with them. I concluded
to do so, at least to remain near them for a time.
On the 15th of July, 1873, 1 moved my office to Kossuth,
our little postoffice town. There I boarded with old Mr.
William 0. Simmons. I had a good patronage and was fairly
successful.
I concluded that if I must remain there indefinitely and
practice medicine, it would not be well to live alone, so
on the 23rd Feb., 1875, I married Miss Frances Ellen Jones, a
daughter of John and Mary Ann (Dilworth) Jones who lived
just two miles south of Kossuth. She was just twenty years
old, and was a beautiful, lovely and popular young lady.
An experience of twenty-five years has proven that I was
fortunate in choosing a wife, for, increasingly as the years
have gone by, she has by her kindly spirit, patience and un-
selfishness, and by her untiring, loving interest in our home-
life, proven her sterling worth as woman, wife and mother.
We were married by her pastor, Rev. Daniel W. Babb, a
minister of the M. E. Church, South.
I did well enough at Kossuth but I wanted to do better,
which is always praiseworthy. Seeking to carry out this pur-
pose I, on the 13th of May, 1880, moved to Corinth, same
county, and very soon entered on a good practice, having for-
tunately stepped into the professional shoes of a physician
and friend who gave up his practice there on account of his
health.
Up to this time my wife had remained a member of the
92 CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
Methodist church, but at Corinth we both joined the 0. P.
church and I was at once elected ruling elder in that congre-
gation, and entered actively into church and Sunday school
work.
I had always been a total abstainer from intoxicants and
a temperance advocate, and for years I had been a prohibi-
tionist. At Corinth, circumstances and m}'^ natural inclina-
tion soon pushed me willingly forward as a leader in a red-
hot anti-saloon fight, which resulted, in 1884, in putting every
saloon out of the town never to return. At least, Corinth has
never had a saloon since and it is one of the most prosperous
towns in that State. Prohibition did not kill Corinth.
I had an excellent and pleasant practice at Corinth and
a large circle of devoted friends, but I was never quite satis-
fied with the general practice of medicine.
For years I had had a liking for Eye, Ear, Nose and
Throat work. In April 1886, I went to London, England, to
study these specialties, starting April 12th and reaching Lon-
don the 26th of that month. I studied in the Royal Ophthal-
mic Hospital and in the Golden Square Throat Hospital. On
returning home I decided to abandon the general practice,
and also that it would suit me better to practice my special-
ties in a larger place than Corinth. On the 27th of October,
that year, (1886), I removed to Chattanooga, Tenn., where I
have lived ever since. In Chattanooga I have enjoyed an ex-
cellent and increasing patronage.
I am a member of the Chattanooga Medical Society, the
Tennessee State Medical Society, and the American Medical
Association.
In 1889 I was elected to a chair in the Chattanooga Med-
ical College, and now am Professor of Diseases of the Eye,
Ear, Nose and Throat in that school, and am also Ophthal-
mologist to the Baroness Erlanger Hospital of this city.
In 1886, soon after reaching Chattanooga, my wife, myself
and daughter, joined by letter, the Cumberland Presbyterian
church in this city, of which I was elected a ruling elder about
the time I became a member. I have had the honor of being
the Superintendent of its Sunday school several years at dif-
ferent times, and for four years the President of the Chatta-
nooga Young Men's Christian Association. My regret is that
CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 93
I have not been a more progressive physician, useful citizen,
and active Christian.
We have one daughter, Mary Irene, who is the wife of
William Dupree Carswell, a lawyer of this city. They have
one child, Edward Steele, born 2nd January, 1899.
Our only son is Willard Hugo, born 11th December, 1884.
He is named Willard for Miss Frances E. Willard, the great-
est temperance and general reform leader of the nineteenth
century.
I have written this little sketch partly through personal
vanity, partly for the benefit of the readers of this book who
may wish to know more of me, and partly for the pleasure it

REV. ISAAC DONNELL STEELE.
liev. Isaac Donnell Steele is the .fifth and youngest son of
Mary Ann Steele, and Maj. John Newton Steele. (See Family
122) He was born 26th Oct., 1852, near Elkmont, Limestone
county, Alabama. When two years old he went with his
father's family to Alcorn county, Mississippi.
He grew up on the farm as did his brothers, and with
them shared the arduous labors of real old-time farm-life.
He got as much wholesome fun and healthful enjoyment out
of his life on the farm as any of us and perhaps a little more.
He was a natural mimic and had full scope on the farm for
the exercise of that talent.
When just a stripling of a boy he showed unusual talent as
a public speaker. He and I used to attend the old fashioned
debating societies held in the old log school houses in our
community, and I remember distinctly that some of our
neighbors were surprised that ''Donnell Steele could speak so
well." Other speakers may have shown more logic, history,
or philosophy in their speeches than he, but what he said was
told with such earnestness, confidence and torrential elo-
quence for a boy that it had great effect on his hearers.
He attended the common subscription schools of the com-
munity before and after the war.
He publicly professed religion during a Methodist revi-
val meeting held at old Pleasant Valley Church, near Kos-
suth, Alcorn County, Miss., in September, 1867, and joined
the Cumberland Presbyterian church, the next year.
He was a student in the University of Mississippi in the
winter of 1872-3. In September, 1873, he entered Cooper In-
stitute near Meridian, Mississippi, and remained in that
school until June, 1877, except one year which was spent on
the farm. He took the degree of B. S. at Cooper Institute in
1877, and A. B. in 1878. That school conferred on him the
degree of A. M. in 1880.
He joined Bell Presbytery, Mississippi Synod of the
Cumberland Presbyterian denomination 4th of September,
1875, having become fully and clearly impressed that it was
his duty to become a minister of the Gospel. He preached
his first sermon 4th October, 1875, and transferred his Presby-
CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 95
terial membership to New Hope Presbytery of the Mississippi
Synod, in November of that year. In July, 1876, he was li-
censed to preach by the New Hope Presbytery, and by the
same Presbytery ordained to the full work of the ministry on
the 7th of November, 1877.
He entered the Theological Seminary at Lebanon, Tenn.,
in September, 1878, and was graduated B. D. from that insti-
tution in June, 1880.
He has been pastor of Cumberland Presbyterian churches
in the following places: Greeneville, Tenn., Corinth, Miss.,
Jackson, Tenn., and the First Church of Nashville, Tenn., and
is now pastor of the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church
in Birmingham, Ala. He is a pleasing popular and effective
speaker and a successful pastor.
For several years he was president of the Board of Edu-
cation of his denomination.
He has been a member of several General Assemblies of
his church, and was a delegate to the Pan-Presbyterian Alli-
ance at its meeting in London, England, in 1888. While
abroad he visited Paris and Rome, thus gratifying a long
cherished desire.
He has written a number of excellent articles for relig-
ious journals, and his brochure on the Book of Daniel is a
clear, logical and strong argument from the usual orthodox
standpoint as to its authenticity and date of composition.
On December 19th, 1883, he was married to Miss Anna
Borah, daughter of Rev, J. T. Borah, of Mississippi. Mr. Bo-
rah was a minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
His wife is woman of liberal education and varied ac-
complishments, and has marked literary tastes and ability.
They have no living children, their only children (two
sons) having died in early infancy.

ARCHIBALD STEELE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
In a genealogical volume published last year (1900) en-
tilled "Archibald Steele and His Descendants," I gave the
history of Archibald Steele and the genealogy of his descend-
ants. He was my paternal great-grand-father.
Archibald Steele was born in Scotland or England about
1728. He went to Ireland and there married a woman of
Scotch ancestry whose name was probably Agnes Edwards.
She was born in Dublin Ireland 1720, They came to America
in 1766, settling first in Lancaster county, Pa., and finally
(1772) on Fishing Creek, York county, South Carolina.
They had five children, all sons, whose names were John,
Joseph, William, James, and Robert. Four of them were
soldiers under General Francis Marion in the Revolutionary
War, Joseph being the captain of a company. Robert was
refused enlistment as a soldier, and sent home, on account of
his youth, being then only fourteen years old. I will men-
tion each separately.
(1) John, b. about 1758, in Ireland; d. 1808, in York
County, S. C. His seven children were: Archibald, Robert,
William, John, Hugh, James, and Jane,
(2) Captain Joseph, b. about 1760, in Ireland; d. 28th
August, 1795, in York County, S. C. ; married Rebecca An-
derson. Their six children were : John, William, Archibald,
Samuel, Jane, and Alexander.
(3) William, b. about 1762, in Ireland; d, 20th Nov.,
1806, in York County, S. C. He married Margaret Johnston,
and their two children were Joseph, and Samuel Johnston.
(4) James, b. about 1865, probably in Ireland, but pos-
sibly in America ; d. 6th October, 1811, in York County, S. C.
He married Mary Workman, and their four children were :
Joseph, Lavinia, Annie, and Margaret.
(5) Robert, b. 7th Sept., 1767, in Lancaster County, Pa. ;
moved to York County, S. C„ in 1772, and to Limestone Co.,
Ala., in 1817, where he died 9th Jan., 1852, and is buried in
the old New Garden Church Cemetery, near Elkmont, that
County. In York County, S. C, he married, 1796, Miss Mar-
tha Starr, who was born 6th March, 1773, and died 20th Sept.,
1854. Their seven children were : Mary, Rev. Archibald
JacksonVDorcas, Martha Stuart, John Newton, and Anna
Jane.^y^;^^ «^
John Newton, son of Robert Steele, married Miss Mary
Ann Steele, who is number 255 in this book. They were the
parents of the writer of this book. (See Family 122).
