> Nettie English is buried in the Steen Cemetery in Marlboro County. Her tombstone gives the date of her birth as September 24, 1875 and the date of her death as July 20, 1952.
>
> Nettie is apparently a shorten form of Venetta. The 1910 and 1920 censuses of Marlboro County, Brightsville Township, indicates that Nettie husband was Thomas English and their children were Eli, James, Lonnie, Ethel, Bessie, and Estelle.

> Nettie or Vanetta is enumerated in the household of Elizabeth Jones in the 1880 census as a 1 year old child. Included in this household is a Martha Jones, age 16 and single. Vanetta is either the daughter of Elizabeth Jones or Martha Jones. Elizabeth Jones was apparently a daughter of William and Mary Steen. Martha Jones was a daughter of Elizabeth's and an unknown Jones. Martha Jones later married a John Mender who apparently was an illegitimate son of a John Roscoe and an unproven Mender female. Between 1900 and 1910, John Mender changed his sur name to Rascoe or Roscoe.

> Need additional data on Nettie English. Was she the daughter of Elizabeth (Steen) Jones or of Martha (Jones) Roscoe? The 1930 census show Nettie's household as including John Roscoe as her father but was he her biological father?
>
> What if any was Nettie English relationship with Clifton Steen who was born February 7, 1882 and died August 30, 1955. Clifton is also buried in the Steen Cemetery in Marlboro County.
