Michael was born in 1765. He passed away in 1835. [1] He married Elizabeth Duncan on 3 Jan 1792 and they had 9 known children. They, along with Michael's brother Joseph and his family, moved to Ohio in 1797.
There is confusion regarding Michael's date of birth. The Steen book, referenced below, gives a date of birth of 8 Jun 1765. However, his brother Joseph's tombstone computes to a date of birth of 8 Feb 1765 -- clearly an impossibility. They were both baptized in a Church of England near Queenstown, MD. Research into their records (if they still exist) should clear it up.
