Notes for RICHARD STEEN:

Information on the Steen Family was taken from the books titled:
THE STEEN FAMILY in Europe and America, Volumes I and II, written by the Reverend Moses D. A. Steen, D.D.

In the days of religious persecution in Scotland, near the close of the reign of Charles II, many Non-Conformists left Scotland in order to escape persecution and imprisonment. Among them there was a man by the name of STEEN, a Scotch Covenanter minister, who came into Ireland with Oliver Cromwell about 1649. It is believed his name was Richard, but of this we cannot be certain.

He settled first in Killinsky, in County Down, and afterwards located at Antrim, in the County Antrim, Province of Ulster, Ireland. They may have lived on the old "Green Hill farm", which is about eight Irish miles from Coleraine, near the bank of the River Bann, in the County of Antrim, Province of Ulster, and forms a part of the tract called "The Vow."

The Reverend Moses Steen visited Ireland in 1896 (Volume I, Page 59-60), and found an old lady whose mother was a Steen, and whose son cultivated the old farm. The Reverend also located near the river an old cemetery which held the grave of John Steen, who was born in 1755 and died on February 14, 1835; and his wife Catharine Steen, who was born in 1749 and died November 9, 1829.
