    Notes 
    • Per the Steadman Book by Joseph Earle Steadman:

      John was born in England, and came to Charleston, SC, by way of Ireland, with his parents, prior to or during 1759-60.  After the death of his father he went with other members of the family to the upcountry of South Carolina and evidently lived with his brother Henderson Steadman for many years. He served in the American war against England. The record of his service is erroneously identified with Stub Indent Q368. File AA 7331 in the State Archives (Revolutionary War Section) at Columbia shows his service as follows:

      Bill 7331 - John Stedman - Camden District.
      Services under Captain John Steel.
      Services under Captain George Nealey.
      Services under Lieutenant William Brocket.
      Though a return was submitted for approval and payment of the bill, no record of payment is included in the file.

      John Steedman was a purchaser at the sale of the estate of Henry Cul, whose estate was appraised on 6 June 1783 - (Camden District, SC - Wills and Administrations, 1781-1787, p. 16).

      At about 1784, John Steedman married Hannah McKinney, daughter of William and Barbara McKinney of Fishing Creek in the present Chester County, SC. In the summer of 1761, Barbara was scalped by some Cherokee Indians. Hannah was born three months after her mother was scalped.

      On October 6, 1795 a tract of 24 1/2 acres of land situated in Camden District (Chester County) was surveyed for John Stedman. This land lay on waters of Rocky Creek, and was bounded S.E. by John Dick's land, N. E. by John Glaze's land. On 2 November 1795 a grant for the tract was issued to him, as shown by records in the State Archives at Columbia, SC ( State Grants, Vol. 41, p. 465; and Plat No. 16-Bundle 173).

      At the time of the 1790 census for Chester County, John's family consisted of himself, his wife, and two young daughters.  Also living with him were three children of his cousin James Steedman.  Shortly before or during 1800, he moved to the original Rutherford County, NC, taking the five sons of his cousin James Steedman with him.  (Except for Joseph, nothing further is known of these sons.)  He and his family are recorded in the 1800 and 1810 census for Rutherford county, NC.  At some time before 1820, he and his wife moved to Tennessee, where they were living in 1827.  (Mrs. L. F. Ellett - Women of the Revolution, Vol. 3, p.94) the place of their death and burial is not stated.
