    Mary was the daughter of Jacob Steese of Penn's township Snyder County. She was Henry's first wife. About 1797 or 1798 they came to Brush Valley. Mary is said to have been a very stout & strong woman and while single had been in charge of a grist mill, an occupation requiring considerable physical strength. She died in August 1801 of malignant fever which she contracted while visiting her brother Frederick Steese in Snyder County. Tradition says it was yellow fever. She is buried in the Lutheran & Reformed Cemetery.
