I have a Peter Steele who married Minerva [Hetsler] Scribner on Jan. 25, 1866 in Utica, Macomb County, Michigan.Witnesses at their wedding included Joel Harrington and Helen Fuller.In the ledger record of marriages in Macomb County, a marriage for Joel and Helen is listed directly below the one for Peter and Minerva.I have been trying to ascertain the maiden name of Peter's mother.One source surmised that it might be Harrington.Her given name was Alvina, and she is buried in Davis Cemetery, Macomb County, Michigan under her married name Alvina "Steele."I thought that perhaps there might be a relationship between Joel and Peter.I, too, looked at the Joel Harrington census entry in 1860; he was 17 years old and was born in New York.Do you know anything more about him?
