	Farm, Coleraine, Antrim, Ulster, Ireland but there is proof now that he was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania. A 
	will of John Steen written in 1749 in Chester Co, PA has been found where he names his unborn son as one of his heirs.
	Then in 1753 she and her new husband gave a financial accounting to the courts and they name those 4 sons plus William
