Well this has gotten interesting. 1870 Census lists "Laura Steele" in the household of Wm. H (and Cornelia W.) Steele, but the 1880 Census lists LS as "Niece". I am figuring she is either the illegitimate issue of Wm. H Steeles sister Amanda Steele, or the legitimate but undocumented issue of Wm. H Steeles big brother Isaac H (and Christiana C) Steele. Isaac H appears to live in the same household as Wm. H., both are listed in each census.
Laura Steeles self reported dob is 27 NOV 1866. There is a "Carrie Steele" listed as wife (should be LS) in the farm/manufacturing report of 1890 (E.O.Clevelands Farm), which is Wm. H's daughter (b.1884).
Its all rather odd..........HELP!!!!!!
