To those of the Steadman heritage, enjoy! History of Western Pennsylvania 1915 STEADMAN Burke speaks of the ancient and illustrious family of Stedmans (Steadmans) known in England since 1191. A Scotch family of Stedmans is descended from Patricius Steadman, 1369. A once strong Welsh family of this name is said now to have no male representatives. Of the Scotch family are several distinguished writers and soliders. The first Stedman in New England was Isaac, who came in the "Elizabeth," in 1636, and settled in Scituate. From him is descended Edmund C. Stedman, the poet. John and Robert Stedman came over in 1638. Robert Stedman's descendants married into the Quincy and Ellery families, and Wm Stedman was a member of congress. The names of Robert and Thomas Stedman are found on Windsor (Connecticut) records, in 1647, and that of Thomas in New London, in 1649. From Thomas and Isaac are descended most of the Stedmans of New England, and from that section they have migrated to other portions of the United States. The destruction of early records, owing to various agencies, make it often a matter of difficulty to establish uninterrupted descent. 1. James Steadman was probably born in the state of Connecticut, and after his early marriage came to New York state. He was a farmer. Finally he located at Conneaut Lake, Crawford county, Pa., and died at the home of his son in Fallowfield township. He married -------- also born in Connecticut, and of his fourteen children, thirteen attained maturity; six children were by a first marriage, and eight by a second: 1. William, a farmer and oil operator, lived near Union City, Pa. 2. John Garner, of further mention. 3. Earl, a wagon maker, lived at Beaver Dam, Pa. 4. Daniel, a farmer, lived in Corey, (Corry) Pa. 5.

Samuel, was a farmer in Corey, (Corry), Pa. 8. Perry, a farmer in Tenn, where his death occurred. 9. Nathan, a retired blacksmith of Corey (Corry). 10. Jerry, a farmer, who lived in Crawford County, Pa. 11. Thomas, left home in boyhood. 12. Nancy. 13. Rena 14. Isabella. II John Garner Steadman, son of James Steadman, was born in Tioga County, NY, in Nov, 1807, and died in October, 1883. He grew up in the state of NY, assisting his father in the pioneer work connected with the farm, and at the age of eighteen years came to Crawford Co, Pa. , where he worked as a farm hand. Not long afterwards he married, and then rented a farm, which he cultivated for a time. In 1835, he was living in Tioga county, NY, but returned to Crawford county, where he located in East Fallowfield township. In 1843 he purchased a fifty acre farm there, this being heavily wooded land. In order to make the first payment for this land, he drove two steers through the town of Greenville, Pa., and sold them for fifteen dollars. He could only get five dollars in cash, the remainder being taken in the form of groceries and other commodities. He walked home, then to Meadville Pa., where he secured the deed for his property, paying the five dollars as security on it, and then walked back to his home. With the assistance of his sons he errected a log house, and commenced to clear the ground with a view to cultivation. This was done by cutting the timber, and burning it as was the fashion of that time. He lived on this place until within four years of his death, when he moved to a farm near Geneva, Pa., in Greenwood twp, and there spent the remainder of his life. He and his wife were active and devout members of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he was class leader for many years..

He grew up in Greenwood township, Crawford county, Pa., and what little education he was able to obtain was acquired at the Finley District School, which was more than two miles from his home. His opportunities, however, were limited, as he was obliged to devote the greater part of his time at the homestead farm until his eighteenth year. He then left his home, and spent three years in learning the wagon making trade, under Thomas McDowell, one mile east of Atlantic, Pa. After his first marriage he purchased a farm in the woods of Randolph township, and when he had this cleared, he sold it with a satisfactory profit. He at once repeated this operation, netting a considerable sum by the sale of the second farm also. Feb 1, 1864, he enlisted in Company B, Eighteenth Pa. Cavalry, and served one year and three months. During the greater part of this time he was located at Harper's Ferry, and he participated in many of the engagements with the Confederate forces under General Early. At the close of the war he was in the hospital, and when he was discharged he returned to Randolph township, and bought a farm on the Oil Creek road, where he lived several years. He then moved to Adams county, Neb., and bought a farm there which he is still holding; he took up a claim in Chase county, Kansas, proved it, and returned to Nebraska, where he made his home until 1909. When he first went there he purchased eighty acres for four hundred dollars, and when he left he sold this land for five thousand dollars. He carried on general farming in Adams county. In 1909 he sold out and retired, and bought a house in Geneva, Crawford county, Pa., where he now lives. In political matters he is Republican.
