i am a descendant of the Steel children mentioned in the 1860 census for Madison county. Benjamin Steel was their father but he seems to have dropped out of the picture in 1860. He reappears in 1870 census. There were children of his family placed in both the Rolston family and the Shaver family. I think the reason was the death of their mother Elizabeth in 1858. Would like to find where Benjamin went in 1860. All the names listed as subject intersect with my line including Long and Smith.
