David Steel and Margaret lived in Watts Twp, Pa and are both buried there. Need proof that Margaret Talbot is the daughter of Joseph Talbot and Ruth Ann Davis of Chester County Pa? Do you know where David Steel is from originally? I know he lived in Watts from 1780's to 1804 and know history of his children and their families. Just can't find his origins.

The Estate Records of Joseph Talbot lists "Margaret intermarried with David Steele dec'd" and Ruth as widow. This can be found at www.rootsweb.com/~paberks/will/talbot-joseph.html. Berks Co has estate records on line. Info on Joseph Talbot can also be found in Chester, Berks and Del. Co.
Also have been looking, unsuccessfully, for David Steel before he moved to Perry Co. Found record of David Steel in East Nantmeal, Chester Co Tax Discounts 1785-1823 at Chester Co Archives site.
My line is David, Jacob, Joseph Tolbert, Sarah Ellen Hummel, Clara Koontz, Sara Klingler.
Feel free to e-mail with info or questions.

Thank you for answering. Where are you from? We are from Perry County,Pa Have you followed up on any of this personally? We have been to Chester County, Cumberland County, and of course Perry County. I have not seen the estate records of Joseph Talbot, and could not open the address at Roots Web that you spoke of. If you would like my personal e-mail address I would be glad to give it to you. As I said, I have everything on David and Margaret and their children after they came to Pa, but am still stuck on the before time period. My line is David, Joseph, Jacob F, Frances Cyrus, Harry Orris, and William L.(my father)

I live in Chester Co, but am from Camp Hill and Mother, Sara Klingler, was from Marysville. Also have been to Perry, Chester and was at Berks on Wed. Did not find anything other than 1780 Census listing David in Cumb. Co. Sorry, I guess site no longer avilable. Try McCurdy Family Genealogy Forum on Genforum. Enter Talbot in Search. "McCurdys documented in Berks Co PA" should be listed. This has a copy of the Estate Records of Jos. Talbot. It would probably be easier by e-mail. Mine is linlef6@aol.com
