     Hugh MacCormack and wife Joanna Steele were in Boughton 
     
     Island for the census of 1798. Four boys and a girl under 16 were 
     
     with them. The history of this family shows John and Neil as the 
     
     Boughton Island survivors. Alex Steele is also listed as a settler 
     
     on Boughton Island in the 1798 census. He had a wife and six 
     
     children. There was nothing further found about these other 
     
     pioneers, the Steeles. Neil is listed in 1835 in a conveyance of their 
     
     lease of 150 acres along with John, son of John and grandson of 
     
     Hugh, as heirs and assigns of Hugh McCormack. John’s widow, 
     
     Jane, is the other signatory. Neil married Catherine MacPhee.

     son John also married a Jane MacPhee. Four of their eight children

     early on to Moose Jaw, Sask. Their children were: Mary Agnes,

     descendants are Killeens, Kellys, Inglis, Thackrays, Tenneys and 
     
     MacPhees, living mostly in western Canada. Elizabeth married
