Welcome to my home page! I am researching THE STEELE(STEEL)Family of Wayne, Holmes, and Ashland Counties in Ohio who migrated from Bedford Co. PA. and Germany. My maternal side is GOSSARD. They hailed from Switzerland originally, landed in New York, traveled to PA. then Ross Co. Ohio and on to McLean Co. Illinois. and Wayne Nebraska. I am also working on Bovee's, Garvers, Beals, Carnahan's, Ish, Espe, Smedley's, and Biddle's. As this is a continual work in progress please notify me of any corrections or additions.

Family Photos

  • Steele Family Reunion 1893 (128 KB)
    This reunion photo was taken at a Steele home in Wayne Co., Ohio. Recognize anyone?
  • Philip Jackson Gossard family photo (62 KB)
    Philip Jackson Gossard was a civil war vet.This photo shows his family including to the far left his son, Amzi Philip Gossard and Amzi's wife, Olive Marguerite Bovee directly in front. Amzi was my great grandfather and Philip my gggrandfather. Philip is shown as the older bearded gentleman with cane more in the center of the photo.
  • Lloyd and Perry Biddle, Civil War Photo (36 KB)
    Lloyd was 17 and his father Perry was 41 when they joined the Union army in Marietta Ohio. I love this photo as it shows them with well deserved "bravado" adding a bit of humor. Perry was killed in battle, and Lloyd survived a confederate prison, came home and built a thriving saloon which burnt down costing him his lifes savings as he had no insurance. (It must be that old Biddle curse!)
