I am searching in Pulaski, Wayne and area for Esther Buchanan Steely, mother of John Buchanan Steely, Cynthia Steely who married Pierce Connell, and Elizabeth Welcher Steely who married Solomon Turpen. The three children were born in VA in 1791, 1793, 1795, moved to KY. John married a Ms. Walker, and he was in Pulaski and Wayne Cos. in the 1820 and 1830 census. Can't find just where he lived--had 2 sons, John Alexander and Jesse Walker Steely, both became doctors, moved to MO, the latter being my great grandfather. I am trying to find something that will tell me who Esther's and William Steely's parents were. Thanks for any help.
