T. P. Steadman is a native of Ohio, and for several years was in charge of telegraph lines.  In 1872 he came to Manistee and engaged in the business of general painting.  In 1878 he returned to Ohio and built a line of telegraph for a railway company.  Returning to Manistee in 1879 he resumed the painting business, which he has since carried on with wonderful success.  He keeps upward of thirty men employed at house, sign, and decorative painting.  He has contracts for a great portion of the work that is done in the city.  In 1881 he opened an intelligence office which proved a signal success.  The present season he opened a marble shop and has already worked up quite a patronage.  Mr. Steadman is a thorough and active business man, one of the kind that succeed at whatever they undertake.

William STEDMAN    b: 1770

Some sources suggest that he married a Sarah Pemberton. I think this is a confusion with his mother.

According to James E. Steadman, we have a nearly complete record of William's children. Dates for the nine children are from Bibles, Census, and Epitaphs.
