Hi Gene and All: I went to the library today. Gene's information from 1840 Rabun Co GA is correct. The 1840 Rabun Co GA shows Household #100: Henson Queen with male age 50 to 60, and one female age 50 to 60. Also, in Rabun Co GA, 1840, Household #251. William Queen, one male less than 10, one male less than 40, one female less than 5, one female less than 10, one female less than 15, one female, less than 40. SO, WE HAVE A HENSON B ABOUT 1790 AND A HENCE BORN ABOUT 1823!! So, were Henson and William brothers, and Hence a son of one or the other???? Or, if you go to top of age possibilities, Henson could be father of William and William father of Hence.???? 1850 Rabun Co GA, Household #147: my Hence is age 27, born NC, wife Nancy A. 22, born NC, children Jerry (Jeremiah) S., 4, and Mary A.,2. Also in 1850, Household #231: Hugh Queen 42 M NC, Elizabeth, 38, F, SC, Martha J. 15, John 12, James C. 10, Josephine 7, Andrew M.N., 5, Nancy M. 2, and Edmond P. 1. Household #173: William Queen 47, NC, Mary A. 42 NC, Nancy 17, Samuel 16, and Martha A. 13. Household #174: Samuel Queen, 70 GA, Nancy 70 GA,, living with a Gilbert Milton 24 M NC. 1860 Rabun Co GA, Household #48, Hugh Queen 49 M Farmer NC, Elizabeth 50 SC, Martha 23 GA, John 21 GA, Clayborn 19 male GA, Josephine 17 GA, Andrew 15 GA, Nancy 13 GA, Edmund 10 GA, William 8 GA. Household #233: Samuel Queen 85 SC, Nancy 80 NC. Household #234: William Queen 49 NC, Anna 49 NC, and Samuel 23 NC. 1870 Rabun Co GA, Household #153 John Queen 32 GA, Nancy 48 NC, and Mada 10 GA. Household #146, Samuel Queen 33 GA, Serena 26 GA, Roxanna 4 GA, Tymonana 2 GA, Patton 4/12 GA. In "Rabun Co GA, and Its People, Volume I," at Cobb County GA Room (Genealogy Library): the daughter of former Rabun Co Sheriff Lamon Tyra Queen lists their lineage as follows: Samuel and Nancy Queen, born in SC about 1775. (Two of their sons took the nanme of McQueen, Hugh and Jim) William Queen b 1803, and Mary Anrid Patton Samuel P. Queen b 1833 and Serena Hunnicutt b 1843. Patton D. Queen & Ada Jane Hunter. Lamon Tyra Queen b 1906 & Alice Juanita Oliver In "Sketches of Rabun Co GA" by Andrew Jackson Ritchie: John Queen, married Nancy Ritchie, b 12/1819. John was Tax Collector and lived at Mountain City, Rabun Co GA The more we stir, the thicker it gets.

Hi Paulette and all, I suppose that I'm just too sorry to dig through some files, but with some recent posts/re-posts to the list come questions/observations. Your May 20 post, if I read it correctly, reports Nancy Queen (wife of Hence Queen) in 1860 Cherokee. Also there is a Henson Queen, age 59 with wife, Zilpha. Nancy is living near a John and William Queen, reportedly the sons of James C. Queen. Was this the James C. Queen of Burke County? If so, how do the dates of his travels match the dates of Nancy's travels, or Henson (b. ca 1801) for that matter? Gene

Hi Elizabeth and all, I will respond to a point or two in your recent communication. A. Formation of N. C. Counties by David LeRoy Corbitt: By the beginning of 1760 Rowan and Anson Counties were the only counties in the western central part of N.C. Rowan was to the North and Anson to the South; both extending to the westernmost part of the state. By 1775 Rowan had given up a chunk of land to the northeast for Surry County and Anson gave up most of its land to form Mecklenburg to the immediate west and Tryon from there to the westernmost part of the state. By the Beginning of 1780 Montgomery County had been formed. Due west of it, in a straight line were Mecklenburg, then Lincoln, then Rutherford (Rutherford extending to the TN line). (By 1780 Anson County, previously a very large one, was a very small one South of Montgomery extending to the S.C. line.) North of Montgomery was Randolph. Due west of it, in a straight line were Rowan, then Burke (Burke extending to the TN line). North of Randolph was Guilford, extending to the VA line. Due west of Guilford, in a straight line, were Surry and Wilkes; both extending north to VA and Wilkes extending west to TN. By 1800 Burke and Rutherford had been cut about down the middle to form Buncombe which extended to the westernmost part of the state. *****Bottom line. One would have had to physically move from Montgomery County to ever get to any county to the west. To get from a spot of land in Montgomery County in 1800 to a spot of land in Burke County, one would have had to physically cross Rowan and Iredell or Cabarrus and Iredell or Cabarrus, Mecklenburg and Lincoln. If one lived in the southern tip of Montgomery, the trek may have been through Anson, then Mecklenburg, then Lincoln or Iredell. To get from Montgomery in 1810 to Burke in 1810+ to 1820 would have required a physical relocation. To get from Burke in 1810+ to 1820 to Haywood would have required a physical relocation. B. Samuel Houston Queen, son of James H. Queen and Isabella Bryson Queen. I have not yet found anyone who can provide evidence that the middle name of James H. was "Houston". This doesn't mean that it wasn't, only that I have found no evidence. If, however, Hugh Queen b. ca 1808 was a brother to James H. b. ca 1808, then one possibility is that Sam Houston was named after his uncle Hugh. If the middle name of James H. was "Henry", then the possibility exists that Alfred named his son, James Henry, after his uncle James Henry. A possible "chart": Daddy: Samuel Queen (b. ca 1776-1780) Hugh (Houston?) Queen (b. ca 1808) James Henry Queen (b, ca 1808) son: Samuel Houston Queen (named after grandpa Samuel and Uncle Hugh?) Alfred Queen (b. ca 1810) son: James Henry Queen (named after uncle James Henry?) C. Henson Queen. I have been corrected regarding the Henson of Rabun Co., GA. He was apparently too young to have been the Henson in question of Haywood County. ****Just an observation regarding Dyer's post and the Henson Queen of Rabun Co., GA. I note that Solomon Queen married Sophronia York, dau. of William R. York of Burke County. Hence Queen in Rabun Co. had married a Nancy A. York (b. ca 1823). Has anyone searched for a possible link through the York line? Thanks, Gene

Hi Group, My apologies for not getting some data on Burke County to the group, but... have been busy on another project which has a deadline of this summer - for a reunion - and have not been able to work on the Queen line from Burke. However, (as they say)... Some interesting info for as much speculation or debate or facts to add, etc... Moses Queen (b. c. 1775) 1. Merideth, b. c. 1802 2. Female Queen b. c. 1804 3. James C. Queen b. c. 1806 4. Solomon Queen b. c. 1808-9 5. Male Queen b. c. 1812 6. Female Queen b. c. 1814 Realize this is not much, but the fact that Moses Queen ALWAYS gave this line-up (in numbers) on the census records, pretty well confirms the number of sons and daughters. Moses continued to furnish census takers this data even though the children had left the household and married, raising a family of their own. My James C. Queen data has been posted previously. Solomon married Sophronia York, dau. of William R. York of Burke County, late of Yorkshire, England. I have to do more research and analysis of the data before I could defend this line-up. Hope anyone with info, or suggestions, will post to the list. That way, all can see just what is going with "Queens of Burke County." Regards, Jerry.

> No matter what Queen you're looking for, they aren't a boring bunch of folks. LOL I keep thinking about the Internet joke I received awhile back on how the hillbillies of West Virginia have only five names in the entire state. In my line of Queens, it's second cousins marrying one another, with very few outsiders joining in the family fold. I think I only need one more name to add and I'll have all five names for the state of West Virginia. LOL Happy digging everyone. Angelica

Gene: I think this is my Hence (Henson). He is listed as Henson on 1840 Rabun Co GA census. Then on 1850 Rabun Co GA, it is Hence or Henci age 27 male Farmer 100 NC Nancy A. (York) 22 female TN Jerry S. 4 male Mary A. 2 female In 1840, Rabun Co GA, there is only Henson and William. then in 1850, there are Hence, Daniel, Hugh, Martha, Nicy and William. I suspect Hence died in about 1859 or 1860, as Hinsey Jonas was born in about 1859, and Nancy was alone in 1860 census. In 1860, Nancy and children appear in Cherokee NC, and in 1870, in Clay Co. NC 1860 Cherokee Co NC Nancy with children, Jerry, Mary, Harvey, Jane, and Jonas (our ancestor Hinsey Jonas Queen). There are living near: John & Catherine Lowery Queen, ages 27 and 26, with children; William Queen, 23, and Fanny Cox Queen, with children; Henson Queen, age 59, and Zilpha Queen, age 50, with children. A post sometime back listed the above Johnand William as sons of James C. Queen. Another interesting clue, my Hinsey Jonas Queen married Rachel Louisa "Lou" Martin and moved to Cobb Co. GA about 1880 to 1890 ALONG WITH Banks (perhaps Bankhead) Queen who married Mary "Mollie" Martin, our Lou's siter. Banks is said to be son of John and Catherine Queen (perhaps the John & Catherine living next door to widow Nancy in 1860 Cherokee Co). So, Hinsey Jonas and Banks Queen must be related. Could they be first cousins - that would mean my Hence (Henson) b about 1823, and John b about 1833 were brothers????? I guess we'll just keep thinking out loud and digging around.....

We know a Stephen QUEEN married Sarah/Sally STEWART 1837 in Rabun County, GA. Am 99.9% sure this is the same Stephen QUEEN who was father of Elmira/Myra QUEEN who married John Harrison HUGHES and landed in Cherokee County NC. Her death certificate lists parents as Stephen QUEEN and Sally STEWART. Myra was my 2G grandmother. Dad recalled her sitting in the corner in a rocking chair, smoking a pipe. Cherokee County NC heritage book has an article on George Washington QUEEN. He came to Cherokee County from GA. His parents are given as Stephen QUEEN and Elizabeth BAKER. George had a daughter Adeline who married Hugh Marcus HUGHES. Through Dad, I am both a QUEEN descendent and a HUGHES descendent. It was quite a scandal that the niece of Myra [Adeline] married the son of John and Myra. So that would make George Washington a half-brother of Myra at the least. My question now that I've bored everyone to tears, is who was Elizabeth BAKER? Has anyone ever seen any marriage information like maybe a certificate for Stephen QUEEN and Elizabeth BAKER?

I'm descended from the Jackson Co. Queens and found out a few years ago about the Queens from the Sunburst area of Haywood Co. About three years ago, I found, through sitting down with Jackson Co. Heritage (for church and cemetery names) and a Jackson Co. map that the oldest Queen area in Jackson Co. is in the eastern part of the county, south of what's now Sylva, along what's now 281 (a winding country road that's a right off of 107 if you're going north).

He may have been the "Uncle Hense" who bought land in Macon I've noticed that the cemeteries at Addie and Old Field (Beta) (both in the Sylva area of Jackson Co.) are full of Queens, Snyders (late arrivals), Brysons, Hensons, and a few other names, all of whom are multiply related. I'm really fascinated by the Hensons in Jackson Co. as I believe my stepfather is from that line (which he denies, and may not know). He knows his father came from northeast Georgia...

Hi Gene, There is nothing that proves that Samuel DID NOT have a son Samuel. He didn't have a son Samuel who "lived". Isn't there a possibility that he did have a son Samuel, who may have been born and died in between census counts. Just thought I put that thought out there. Actually I've had the folks you are puzzling about sorted in just that manner, for the last 5 years. You can call it "women's intuition" or whatever, but my thinking was along the same lines as yours. carol "Where there is no vision, the people perish" Proverbs:29:18 <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> QUEENSCASTLE BRANCHES AND BOUGHS http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegaleire Homepage/Donegal, Ireland, Poland & Russia Information http://www.geocities.com/postalq Home of Donegal, Ireland Information Site Also Poland & Russia

I'm looking for any information on Levi and Elizabeth Queen from Johnstown/PeelTree area of VA/WV.

Thank you for taking the time to read this E. Angelica Freeman

Hi folks, Why can't we find the yellowjacket's nest? They're flying all around, probably came from the same nest; but I can't find the nest! Maybe someday we'll step on it. I'm tinkering (meaning, please do not take as any sort of adequate documented proof) with these ramblings: The S. Queen (b. ca 1776-1780) of 1810 Montgomery Co., NC was the Samuel Queen of 1820 and 1830 Haywood, 1840 Habersham, GA, 1850 Rabun Co, GA, 1860 Rabun Co. Sons of this Samuel were William, James, Alfred and Hugh. Why didn't he name a son, Samuel? Or, did he? This Samuel was in Montgomery in 1810 and in Haywood in Feb 1820. This leaves about a 10 year gap with his location unproven. In his travels from Montgomery to Haywood sometime after 1810, he would likely have passed through Rutherford or Burke; perhaps settling there for a while. Something would have caused him to have left Montgomery and headed West. Perhaps it was family. If so, who was that family? I'm choosing Burke as the likely temporary stop only because his son, William (if that's the one) returned (or went) to Burke sometime after 1820 Haywood to marry Mary Ann Patton there in 1824. With this tinkering, I'm also again opening the door to the possibility that it was this Samuel Queen who was bondsman for the marriage of Timothey Queen and Mary Ann State (or Slate) in Haywood in 1816. If true, then Samuel stopped in Burke between 1810 and 1816 and perhaps spent some time with a relative who had a son/brother named Timothey. Timothey then went with Uncle Samuel (or whatever the relation) and family on over into Haywood where he met and married Mary Ann. But, Timothey wasn't happy in Haywood, so before the 1820 census he took off for parts unknown. Timothey died sometime later and Mary Ann remained a widow until the 1860 Haywood census if that's her , Polly Queen, with her dad, John Slate. Why did she return "home"? She's living near a William Wilson and a James Wooten. Mean anything? Anyway, Samuel and some of the kids took off for GA after 1830 Haywood, Alfred went to TN, James stayed in NC. Alfred returned to NC to live near James. But, what about the 1810 - 1816 or 1820 time frame? C'mon Burke County researchers, give me a hint, a clue, a "what if". Moses and Samuel are biblical names. (But, so are John, James,etc). And, what about Paulette's Hence living next door to William in Rabun Co in 1840 and 50? Coincidence? I don't think so. This Henson was born ca 1780. He may have been the "Uncle Hense" who bought land in Macon County, NC in 1833. ("By deed dated April 8, 1833, Uncle Hense purchased from Andrew Cathey a tract of land located in the north or lower end of Macon County on the Little Tennessee River. This deed was witnessed by John W. QUEEN. Then by deed dated January 17, 1854, Uncle Hense sold the tract to John W. QUEEN. In the meantime, John W. QUEEN had in 1842 purchased lands from Joseph Clements.") There is a Henson (age 40-50) and single, on the 1830 Haywood census index, but not the 1840, 50, or 60 for NC. This Henson thought by some to be a son of Samuel and Dicey Queen and may have married "a Visage woman". Do we have a Henson Queen (son of Samuel of 1759 and Dicey) in Rabun in 1840 living next door to a William Queen (son of Samuel of 1776-80)? And....why didn't Samuel of 1759 name a son after himself? Bedtime. Gene

I retract my statement that William Allen Queen was the witness at the marriage of James Queen and Ely Bryson. My William seems to have been in Rutherford, not Haywood County in 1829. So sorry to mislead you good folks. --Phil Minch--

I believe this branch of the family came back east to Rutherford County prior to 1860. I see William and Mira on the 1860 Rutherford census in Morgan township, which is the Montford's Cove area. The death certificate for WAQ, Jr. gives mothers name as Myrum. WAQ, Jr. (1835-1915) is buried in Montford's Cove Baptist Cemetery. Montfords Cove was the Queen home for this line for a couple of generations at least. It may have been more convenient to go to Marion for a wedding than Rutherfordton, it's a tossup which is closer. You'll be hard pressed to find Montford's Cove on a map. Look for Whitehouse in the DeLorme Atlas. I wouldn't spend too much time in researching McDowell county. There are Queens there, but seemingly unconnected. My grandfather had a store in Marion until the depression, but he moved around. There was never any mention of kin in McDowell and there weren't any at family reunions. The next generation moved closer to Rutherfordton and then spread out far and wide. As for other children of WAQ, Sr. I only have circumstantial evidence. The only Queen in the cemetery I don't know is Sarah L. Queen, July 30, 1884-June 9, 1886, daughter of ANQ. ANQ would likely be a bit younger than WAQ, Jr. Maybe he's a younger brother. For you, I'll substitute a hearty handshake for the kiss. --Phil Minch--
