Birth	25 December 1838	Daniel B. Pratt was born on 25 December 1838 in Pennsylvania.¹
Marriage	about 1862	He and Margaret Smith were married about 1862 in Greene County, Pennsylvania,^1,2
Biography	1888	In 1888: D. B. Pratt, farmer and stock-grower, Waynesburg, Penn. was born in Franklin Township, Greene County, Penn., December 25, 1838. He is a son of William Pratt, also a prominent farmer in this township, who was born in Fayette County, Penn., October 13, 1814. His parents were James and Sallie (Boner) Pratt, also natives of Fayette County, and of English lineage. William Pratt owned a well improved farm of 200 acres in Franklin Township, where he died in 1874. He was a blacksmith by trade, in which he engaged until 1854 when he began farming. He spent most of his life in Greene County, where he was united in marriage, in 1838, with Miss Harriet, daughter of Joshua and Catharine (Livengood) Thomas. Her father was born near Philadelphia, Penn., and was of Dutch ancestry. Mrs. Pratt was born in Center Township, this county, June 2, 1820, and was the seventh in a family of fifteen children. D. B. Pratt, the subject of this sketch, is a man of tireless zeal and unusual energy, by means of which he has been very successful in his chosen pursuit, and owns a well improved farm of 175 acres. On August 25, 1870, he married Margaret, daughter of William and Sarah (Bodkin) Smith, who were of English and Irish lineage. Her mother was a native of Pennsylvania. Her father was born in New Jersey, and died in 1874. They were the parents of sixteen children, of whom Mrs. Pratt is the youngest. To Mr. and Mrs. Pratt have been born two sons -- William Harvey and Lindsley Inghram. Their mother is a member of the Baptist Church. Mr. Pratt is a Democrat and a member of the I.O.O.F. He has served as school director and auditor of his township. NOTE: There is a little confusion here. William Harvey Pratt and Lindsley Inghram Pratt were brothers of Daniel B. Pratt, not his sons.

Son	Count Sobieski Steel
Son	Leandro Steel

Family 2: Benjamin Pratt (b. about 1776, d. about 1863)

Biography

Research Note		Notes on Steel family. 1870 census, North Twp, LaBette County, Kansas, Steel Morris H, age 43, works in saw mill, b. NY with Alice (28, b. Mass.) Charles (3) Leonard J (age 28) and Philma (18) keeping house, b. Ohio. MH Steel age 40 m. Alice Ward, 6 Oct 1867, at Doniphan, KS. 1880: M.H. Steele, age 53, b. NY, Parson, LaBette Cty, KS, Divorced, Maimed, Crippled or Bedridden, Yes. Lives in a boarding house, occup: Police Judge. Count S. Steele, if the same one, Uniontown KS. He got married at an old age in 1896 to Emma R. Pulliam, paper said the wedding was a surprise to most of the many acquaintances. He was one of the oldest residents of the county. Member of the bar and a man of "peculiar and attractive characteristics" Used to own a blacksmith shop in Uniontown. Also owns several farms and other property. Prominent Republican politician in Bourban County. Must have been a second marriage, because 6 Jul 1896 Fort Scott Tribune gives obit of Mrs. Katie E. Waters, youngest dau of Count S. Steele of Uniontown, died 3 Jul 1896, in childbirth of twins. b. Catherine Essington Steele, 21 May 1866 Count S. Steel m. Elizabeth M. Collins, 12 Feb 1859, in Indiana. 1860 census, he is in Bourbon, Kansas Territory, with Elizabeth, and children Mary (6 mo., Ada Collins age 23, and Leonard Steel age 17). Pratt's in the South Bend Indiana Cemetery DVD set: PRATT,?,2,131 PRATT,BENJIMAN A.,1,202 PRATT,CALVIN L.,1,202 PRATT,CHARLES F.,3,159 PRATT,DORA B.,3,159 PRATT,LOUISA J.,1,202 PRATT,LOVINA,1,209 PRATT,PHILIP LEO,3,160 Sent request to South Bend PL Local History dept for copies of the 5 pages. Recd, in gmail Pratt folder, The Benjamin A. Pratt was 1851 - 1915, (father) and mother was Louisa J. Pratt. Benjamin was born in NY and his parents were Albert Prat and Elizabeth Le Roy or LeRay, they were in Sodus, Wayne County, NY.
Birth	1805	Mary Jane Hadden was born in 1805 in Mentz, Cayuga County, New York. According to Ancestry trees, her parents were Smith Hadden and Susannah Townsend.
Marriage	31 December 1823	Elisha Steel and she were married on 31 December 1823 in Mentz, Cayuga County, New York,
Census	1850	She appeared in the census 1850 in Eel Township, Cass County, Indiana. Mary is listed as: Mary Steel (age 40 ) Morris H (23), Leander (21), Count J.(16), Elisha (13), Olivia (10), Leonard (7)
Marriage	27 March 1851	Benjamin Pratt and she were married on 27 March 1851 in Logansport, Cass County, Indiana,
Witness	29 March 1851	She was a witness. Married: On the 27th, Benjamin Pratt and Mrs. Mary Steele, both of this place. p.2, col. 6.
Witness	9 April 1851	She was a witness. Married, in this place, on the 27th, Mr. Benjamin Pratt and Mrs. Mary Steele. P.3, c.2. I see a Mary Steel in Eel Twp, Cass County in the 1850 census. No husband is listed, she is listed first, age 40 and has apparently 6 children ranging from age 23 - 7 Morris H (23), Leander (21), Count J.(16), Elisha (13), Olivia (10), Leonard (7) If our Benjamin married her, perhaps he wasn't as old as indicated by the 1850 census. However, the connection with Lake Maxinkuckee in Mary's son Count Steel's memoirs, supports the fact that this is the same Benjamin. In an Ancestry tree, I see this family, with a father Elisha Steel, who died 29 May 1848, in Logansport, IN. Mary's maiden name was Hadden, daughter of Smith Hadden who died 1857 in Oswego, NY. m. 31 Dec 1823 in Mentz, Cayuga Cty, NY. This tree says she married second James Pratt, b. 1805, but has no information on him. James was one of Benjamin's grandsons, an attorney who lived in Logansport until the early 1870's. Mary Jane Hadden Steel Pratt died, according to this tree, at Mishawaka, St. Joseph County, Indiana, 18 Apr 1860. I have tried to verify that, but was not able to find anything.
Witness	about 1852	She lived with Benjamin Pratt about 1852 in Union Township, Marshall County, Indiana. In Count S. Steel's biography, it says "In 1852 his mother married James Pratt and the family moved to the latter's farm in Marshall County, Ind. In August of that year, Count S. returned to Logansport..." The marriage records specify Benjamin, not James. Actually they married in 1851, in the spring, so it sounds as if they moved in the late spring or early summer to Marshall County. Lake Maxinkuckee, in Union Township, Ind. is about 37 miles from Logansport. The website http://www.maxinkuckee.history.pasttracker.com/_union_township.htm states that "Union Township was organized in 1840. It was likely named after Union County, Indiana, the former home of some of the early settlers." This is interesting because one of Benjamin's Carroll County deeds lists him "of Union County." And Union County, Indiana, was the way point for the Fayette County, PA, Pratts, before they moved on further west. I am indebted to Jocelyn, ancestry user jocelyn_K_B, for her help with information related to Benjamin's life during his marriage to Mary Jane Hadden, and the information about Count Sobieski Steel http://www.ksgenweb.org/archives/1912/s3/steel_count_sobieski.html
Witness	about 1858	She was a witness. In the biography of Count S. Steel (the son of Benjamin's wife Mary (Hadden) Steel) it says "He (Count) remained in Peoria until the spring of 1857 and then returned to Marshall county, Indiana. He worked in a carriage factory there for a year and then moved his mother and sisters to Mishawaka, Ind." http://www.ksgenweb.org/archives/1912/s3/steel_count_sobieski.html If he moved his mother and sisters to Mishawaka, perhaps in early 1858, where was Pratt? It sounds as if they split up, because Benjamin was alive in 1860 when he lived in his son's household in Maryland.
Death	28 April 1860	She died on 28 April 1860 in Mishawaka, St. Joseph County, Indiana, Her burial location has not been found. The old Mishawaka Cemetery was not documented until the 1990's and there were many graves without stones or with unreadable stones. The local genealogical society supplemented the graveyard inscriptions with burial permit records, funeral home records, and other supplemental information, but all the burials are not known. Or perhaps she was buried elsewhere. The date is from a biography of her son Count Sobieski Steel.¹
