James Steen (planter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lt. Col. James Steen (1734–1780) was a successful planter who, at the time of the American revolution, resided in the Thicketty Creek area of what was once the northern part of Union County (formed in 1785) and is now part of Cherokee County, South Carolina (formed 1897). Steen, a stanch Presbyterian, had been born in County Antrim, Ulster Province, Ireland in about 1734. In the 1750s, he moved to America along with his father's family, that included his brother John Steen. Originally residing in Pennsylvania for only a few years, John (Steen)and James (Steen) both had recorded land deeds on Thicketty Creek 1766 & 1767.[1]
Both John and James Steen, as well as many other local natives of Thicketty, South Carolina, were heavily involved in the American Revolution. There were families who were British loyalists, as well as families such as the Steen's who were Whigs and Colonial Militia Officers. In quite a few instances, Thicketty Creek neighbors found themselves on opposite sides and battles throughout the war, in surrounding areas.
According to Lyman Draper (1815–1891), as written in his well-known book titled Kings Mountain and Its Heroes:[2]
"James Steen, also of Irish descent, was probably a native of Pennsylvania, and early settled in what is now Union County, South Carolina. In August 1775, he was fully convinced and ready to sign the Continental Association and doubtless led a company on the Snow campaign, as he did the following year against the Cherokees, and, in 1777, commanded at Prince's Fort. In 1779, he served in Georgia, then at Stono, and Savannah; and performed a tour of duty from November in that year till February 1780, near Charleston. At this period, he ranked as Lieutenant-Colonel, distinguishing himself at Rocky Mount (Battle of Rocky Mount), Hanging Rock (Battle of Hanging Rock), Musgrove's Mill (Battle of Musgrove Mill), King's Mountain (Battle of King's Mountain), and probably with his superior, Colonel (Thomas) Brandon (Fair Forest Regiment), at the Cowpens (Battle of Cowpens). According to his grave, he died in the Battle at Kings Mountain (Cleveland County, North Carolina/York County, South Carolina). He was married to Eleanor Bogan about 1762 in South Carolina.
In 1762, LTC Steen married Eleanor Bogan and had several children, including the following referenced in the DAR Genealogical Files:
William married Jean Young
Richard married Nancy McDonald
James married Jane Graham
Per Dr Bobby Gilmer Moss's Roster of American Patriots Who Fought at the Battle of King's Mountain: "Steen, James, Colonel (k) Killed in the summer of 1781, while endeavoring to arrest a Tory, in Rowan County, North Carolina, he was stabbed by an associate, surviving only a week." Eleanor would outlive LTC Steen by forty-five years.
There are questions as to the actual date of death for Steen, thus question regarding his actual burial site. If he was killed at the Battle of King's Mountain, he could not have fought at the Battle of Cowpens: King's Mountain was fought October 7, 1780, and the Battle of Cowpens on January 17, 1781. Regardless, may this memorial serve as an expression of the gratitude we owe Colonel Steen for risking his life and braving the unknown to help build a new country: our America.
