Biography

From: THE STILLE FAMILY IN AMERICA 1641 – 1772 Swedish American Genealogist - Vol. 6 No. 4 Dec 1986 By Peter Stebbins Craig

Notes [49] The first discovered reference to Christiern Steelman occurs in 1708 when (as a cordwainer or shoemaker) he is named husband of Mary, widow of James Claypoole, Jr., who had died in 1706 in New Castle County. DH, 5:278, n. 19. James Claypoole, Jr. (1664-1706) had arrived in America on the Concord in 1683 with his parents, James Claypoole, Sr. (1634-1687) and his wife Helena (Mercer) Claypoole (d. 1688), close personal friends of William Penn. PWP, 2:369-373. On 22 Dec. 1701, before the Pennsylvania Board of Property, James Claypoole, Jr., testified that his wife’s mother (being also the mother of Adam Peterson) had been murdered by Indians thirty years before. PA, 2d Ser., 19:221-2, 224. From this we may infer that James Claypoole, Jr.’s wife (and the wife of Christiern Steelman) was Mary Peterson, of Swedish or Dutch parentage.
