NOTES:

THE STEEN FAMILY in Europe and America, Volume II, Page 361:

Matthew Steen was a descendant of a Scotch Covenanter minister, a refugee from religious persecution, who came into Ireland with Oliver Cromwell and others about 1649, and located first in Killinsky, County Down, and afterward settled in County Antrim, [Providence of Ulster], Ireland. He was born about 1755, probably about eight Irish miles from Coleraine, near the bank of the River Bann, in County Antrim, Province of Ulster, Ireland, that forms a part of the tract called "The Vow".

Matthew came to America in his early years, and located first in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he lived several years. He was married there about 1774, to Jane Taylor, and was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. In 1780, Matthew Steen moved with his family to Canonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he spent the remainder of his life, and died at age 80.
