Notes
a. Note:   957). Peter Steelman is irnportant because he is the only son of Capt. Hans appearing in the records as his son.(N. Y.Gen. and Biog Record, Vol. 79. p. 117). He is mentioned in Rudman's list as living on the seashore at Absecon, Great Egg Harbor, and probably settled there with his brother James, as early as 1695. He is mentioned in the account of the journey of the Rev. Andreus Sandel of Old Swedes Church in 1704 to visit the members of his congregation at Great Egg Harbor (Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 30, pp. 295-296). He and his brother, living near by, entertained the Rev. Mr. Sandel and his company, which included Elias Toy, brother of the wife of James Steelman. Later he removed to Penn's Neck near his kinfolk, though most or all of his children remained in Great Egg Harbor. He made a deed to his son, Charles, the only child so called in any public record. We have to make up the list of children by inference, except two mentioned in the records of St. George's Church, Penn's Neck. We have the will of James Steelman, so we know who of the Egg Harbor Steelman's belong to his family. There are other Steelman's, male and female, Who must have been Peter's children. His wife's name was Gertrude (Swedish Gartara). We learned from a deed, (Woodbury K.K. 399), dated 12 Aug. 1774 that he gave by deed of gift to Charles Steelman land in Great Egg Harbor, 12 June 1737, So he was living as late as that date. The records of their deaths are not found in the registers of any of the Swedish Churches.
Note:   The following is quoted from "The Steelman Family" by Arthur Adams, ACHSYB vol 3, p. 52-53 (1
