No, that is not correct. Mary "Polly" Steele's parents were John Steele and
Jane Compton, who were married 1810 in Wilson County, TN, per John Steele's
War of 1812 pension application. He died August 1871 before it was approved
and his second wife, Mahala Goodman (whom John married in 1844 DeKalb
County, TN) applied for a widows pension on John's service and it was
approved in 1873.
It was Alexander Steele JOHN'S BROTHER who married Lucy Compton in 1807
Wilson County, TN. Lucy and Jane Compton were daughters of William Compton.
John was the son of Andrew Steele and Martha Buchanan. They were married
probably about 1779 in Augusta county, Virginia, as their son Samuel Steele
was born 1780. John and a twin brother James Steele were both born in 1782.
Martha Buchanan was the daughter of Archibald Buchanan and Agnes (Bowen)
McFerrin, widow of James McFerrin.
Agnes' brother was William Bowen, who built that exquisite old brick
house in Goodlettsville, Sumner county, TN in 1787, which is still standing
and part of Moss-Wright Park, next to Mansker's Fort. William Bowen was the
maternal grandfather of Tennessee Governor William Bowen Campbell, who was
born in the aforementioned Bowen house!
Archibald Buchanan's house stood at the corner of Stuarts Ferry Pike
and Blue Brick Drive, named in honor of the two-story house that Archibald
built there of blue clay brick. I work through Primerica which is on Elm
Hill Pike, and the Buchanan cemetery is also on Elm Hill Pike, but you have
to take a right turn off Donelson and it's within just a couple of hundred
feet on the right after making the turn. The old log house built 1809 by
James Buchanan is directly across the street from the cemetery. If I
understand correctly, this cemetery is part of what was Knapp's Farm, and is
where Archibald and Agnes were re-interred after being removed from their
graves at the blue brick house.
