Harvey and Jane (Asbury) Steele
First Child of Richard and Elenor (Marlow) Steele

Harvey Steele was born 1799, in the part of Russell County Virginia, that is present day Tazewell County. Harvey died 19 August, 1878 Russell County VA., m. 21 March 1820 in Tazewell County VA, Jane Asbury, d/o Henry and Martha (Moore) Asbury. Most printed sources show him as Harvey Jacob Steele, (including works of this writer), but I have never seen a primary record showing him as Harvey Jacob. I recall seeing at least one primary record showing him as Harvey G. Steele. It certainly leads me to belive that his name was more than likely George Harvey Steele. I am sorry to say, I do not remember the source, but there are no other men named Jacob in our line of Steeles, to my knowledge. It seems unlikely that Richard would not have named a son for his deceased father, George. To my knowledge, the name Jacob does not appear in the families of Harvey's children either. All of Harvey's children did however, name sons George.
