Notes for JOHN STEELE:

Tyler, William Seymour D.D.,LL.D. with genealogy history written by Cornelius B. Tyler, Autobiography of W S Tyler, DD,LLD,  (Privately Printed, Massachusetts, 1912), page 271.

"Barber's Historical Collections, p. 31, says 'The first English settlement in Hartford was commenced in 1635 by John Steel and his associates from Newtown (now Cambridge) in Massachusetts. The main body of the first settlers with Mr. Hooker at their head, did not arrive till the following year,' when Mr. Hooker with about one hundred men, women and children, went through the trackless wilderness from Cambridge to Hartford. Dr. Trumball says, 'This adventure was the more remarkable as many of this company were persons of figure, who had lived in England in honor, affluence and delicacy, and were entire strangers to fatigue and danger.' Professor Andrews, in his Study of The River Towns of Connecticut. (Johns Hopkins Studies, VII, VII, 27) says of the early settlement of Connecticut, 'It was the outcome of a second sifting from the complications of Government in England. Its founders were twice purged, and in their revolt from the already purified government of Massachusetts, they evidenced how thoroughly democratic their principles must have been to have found themselves out of harmony with the latter's policy.'"

Ibid. page 272.

"The Steele Family, by D. S. Durrie, says, 'During 23 years elected to the principal Colony Court, he was present at 88 at least of its sessions, and engaged in its legislation and judicial decisions and for four years its Secretary and Recorder. For nearly 20 years he was also recorder of the town of Hartford.' At the time of the organization of Farmington and its admission as a town by the court, the record (Dec. 1, 1645) reads: 'And Mr. Steele is entreated for the present to be recorder there, untill the Towne haue one fitt among theselues.'"
