Thank you for your response. It seems very likely that the Josiah Stees in your records is my great grandfather. I know he was born before 1830 and your date of 1827 is about right. He married Catherine Barr and I believe Kitty is often used as a nickname for Catherine. since his mother's name was also Catherine, it would not appropriate that his wife would have a nickname. Josiah lived in Dauphin, PA in his later years and I believe he is buried there.
Josiah and Reuben were brothers, but they had an uncle John Stees. Did your Frederick have a brother John?
Reuben had several children but his oldest son was Frederick E. Stees, possibly named after his grandfather.
If you have any further information that would confirm the connection, I would very much appreciate it. I can also provide you information about the descendants of Josiah and Reuben if you are interested.
