Source of Bapt. End. Sl to Prnts is IGI as of 1988; same data is also in the Archive Record, Family History Department, SLC.
Source of genealogy (pedigree and family relationships) is Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine Vol. 13. Same for all the familiy.
Source: SLG to spouse date from ARCHIVE RECORD,(21 Jun 1947 LG). Bapt date 14 Oct 1944 and Endow date 16 Feb 1945 also from ARCHIVE RECORD. However the IGI (as of 1988) has for Bapt,End, SS marked as CLEARED. Duplication?
Married: to Elizabeth Tate, according to ARCHIVE RECORD.
ARCHIVE RECORD is also the source of Bpt, End, and Sld to pnts
IGI has four different marriage dates in two different places: 1) 1795 in Augusta; 2) Mar 1795 in Rockbridge; 3) 18 Jun 1795 in Augusta; 4) 10 Jun 1796 in Augusta. IGI records Andrew sld-to-spouse-date as shown.
Misc: This Sally or Sarah may be the same person as Sally Steele, Rin No 471, whose father/mother = Samuel Steele/Sarah Hunter. Rin 471 was born (according to the IGI) in 1772 in Augusta Co. Virg. and Sally (Rin 93) was born in 1769.

Married: to Daniel Henderson.
Nicholas is listed as being born in 1771 the same year as Martha Steele.
It may? be that Nicholas was a twin who died in infancy but no real evidence for this except the same birth year as his sister.
Source: ARCHIVE RECORD has data showing bapt,end, and slg to prnts which are the dates listed. Work has been done even if an infant.

Source of ordinance dates=Family ARCHIVE RECORD, SLC. Marriage date estimated.
Error:? Mysterious problem. Family Archive Record has a "Do not Seal" in the space following "Sealed to Husband". See file in Glenn H. Thomas set of files on Steele line. Why is this ordinance denied to this couple. Their children are not sealed to the parents either as shown on the Archive Record. Why? The children were all baptized and endowed in 1939 and 1940. Sheet was submitted by Zula R. Cole, 843 3rd North, Logan, Utah; but this was 50 years ago. The Heir is William Steele and his relationship to James Steele Jr. is g.g.neph.i.l.
James Steele Jr. and his wife Elizabeth Armstrong Mann had nine children and since the 2nd child is named John Armstrong Steele, this wife appears to be the mother of the children, not a step mother-so why the denial of Husb and Wife sealing? To be investigated later (present = 10 feb 1990).
On 31 Jul 1990 Glenn H. Thomas personally participated in the sealing of James Steele Jr to Elizabeth Armstrong and had their children sealed to them; done in the Los Angeles Temple.
Years ago the Church did not allow sealing of a woman to 2nd husband and now that policy is no longer in force.
