Lucy Steptoe was born about 1720[1] in Lancaster, Virginia to parents John Steptoe and Elizabeth (Eustace) Steptoe. Lucy's date of birth has been reported about five different ways (1713-1720). I selected the aforementioned source because it was based on an article by Stella Pickett Hardy, known to be very well-versed in the Blackwell family.
She married about 1745 in Northumberland, Virginia to Joseph Blackwell.[2]
She died on 26 Apr 1787 in Fauquier County, Virginia & was buried in Blackwell Cemetery. [3]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Lucy by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Lucy:
Birthdate here is about 1716, Lancaster, and described in another post as an estimate. The birthdate on FindAGrave is 1720, in Northuberland. Of course, there is a suggestion that we clear up the discrepancy. Thoughts?
I just did a ged/merge cleanup & now you can see that her marriage date is before her birth date. Since I don't know which is the correct one, I was hoping that you would be able to fix it :) Thanks
Steptoe-59 and Steptoe-3 appear to represent the same person because: same death and married name, birth is an estimate on both profiles, no primary source
