Mary Keeling is named as wife of Virginia patriot Robert Steele and the mother of his eldest children. [1]
Research Notes
From Find A Grave: Daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Lovett) Keeling. First wife of Robert Steele. Mother of James, Samuel, Jeffrey, Edmond, William, John and Elizabeth Steele.
It is not certain that Polly Steele is buried in this cemetery but she passed away while living on this farm and the cemetery was for members of the Steele family. Descendants of Robert place he and his 2nd wife Rebecca in the cemetery and it is possible that Polly was there before them.
