I am now heartened that you found records for Patti. I have been trying to go back beyond my great great grandfather Nathaniel Steenson (and his wife Margaret Templeton) (and get more info on Nathaniel).
I am going to the genealogy library in San Diego today. Where do you suggest I look? They have more resources than I do. I assume the Steenson’s came from Scotland in the 1600s when the Ulster plantations were created. Nathaniel is listed with two sons in Griffiths Valuation (last name listed as Steenson). His lessor was William Carberry, Earl of Charelmont in the barony of Middle Dungannon, parish of Clonfeacle, townland of Dunamony. He was born “about” 1801 and died December 17, 1873. I don’t have accurate information on his wife. His son, William Stenson/Steenson was born in 1836 in Armagh and emigrated to America with his wife Isabella Eakin and their children (his son George was born in Oregon and is my paternal grandfather. He died in Iregon in 1915. I cannot find emigration records except for a passenger list on the Utopia that landed in New York (from Glasgow, Scotland) August 27, 1874.
