Kissing is simply out of the question, unless Phil is short for Phyllis. These two Williams appear to be new ones on me. Of course, I haven't done any McDowell County research. I don't want to erroneously read too much into your post; so, please confirm: William Queen (b. ca 1804) m. Mira or Myrum Wilkerson son: William Queen m Lucindy Rucker on 12-6-1860 in McDowell County What can you tell us about the William Queen of 1804? County of birth and/or later residence? County/date of marriage to Mira/Myrum? Would I be in trouble if I guessed that Wm of 1804 was in McDowell County in 1860 at the time of marriage of son, William? Any known children of this Wm of 1804 other than son, William? Thanks for any clues. Gene Philip Minch wrote: > > I have this marriage bond information on my gg grandfather.

I have this marriage bond information on my gg grandfather. This is the son of William Queen who married Mira or Myrum Wilkerson. I believe the elder William (born about 1804) is the one who witnessed the marriage of James Queen and Ely Bryson.

Hi all, Thanks to Betty, Paulette and Nancy for their response to my earlier msg. I may be going over the same old ground; but sometimes little tidbits are lying there unseen. Comment/Question: Betty Knight's post from ancestry.com list's the bride of William Queen as "Ann Patton". (There is no "Mary" in front of the "Ann"). Has anyone on the list viewed the actual bond and can it be stated emphatically that the bond, in fact, does NOT contain the word "Mary"? It may have been Betty who sent some info months ago from Rabun in which Samuel Queen mentions his daughter-in-law, "Anna" Queen, wife of his son, William. He further mentions his grandson, Samuel....as I recall. *************Perhaps I should have asked this earlier, but who do list members believe to be the father of this William Queen who married Ann Patton? And, smile, why?********* Joshua Hall being the bondsman for the couple should be a clue, but I can't grasp it just yet. Samuel being in Haywood in 1820 and 1830 somewhat near William L. and kids is also a clue, but what? I'll keep pondering, but will welcome ideas of any and all. Thanks, Gene

Gene: Please keep in mind my elusive Hence (or Henson) Queen and wife, Nancy York Queen were in Rabun Co GA in 1840 and 1850, living next door to William Queen (see below earlier message). If you figure out anything, please remember I'm still trying to figure out parentage of Hence, and your information may be another clue.

She is living adjacent to the following Queens: John & Catherine Lowery Queen, ages 27 and 26, with children. Next household: William Queen, 23, and Fanny Cox Queen, 2, with children. Next household: Henson Queen, age 59 and Zilpha Queen age 50, with children. A post sometime ago listed the above John and William as sons of James C.

Missi of this list is descended from Banks & Mollie and reported earlier that Banks was the son of John and Catherine Queen, perhaps the John and Catherine above of 1860 Cherokee Co NC, living next door to our Nancy York Queen. So, apparently Banks and our Hence were related, perhaps cousins? > >There are several of us on this list researching this line, but to my knowledge, everyone is at a brickwall re parentage of Hence (or Henson) Queen, b about 1858, in Rabun Co GA with wife Nancy York in 1840 and 1850. > >Can anyone help us further? > >Paulette Willis Dunn >Douglasville, GA

Hi all, Remember the Queen and Bryson marriage bond of 1829 Haywood County which caused so much confusion until circumstantial evidence seems to have cleared it up? James Queen (b. 1808) and Isabella Bryson were the newlyweds; but who was the Wm Queen who was the bondsman? Could it be that this was William Queen (b. ca 1802-1804) a brother to James? (There are other possibilities, such as William B. Queen, son of Samuel who married Dicey; and William Lewis Queen...any others in the area and old enough at the time?) But, tinkering with the possibility of this William simply being the oldest son of Samuel of 1776-1780. Wm would have been the oldest of 4 sons (?Wm, James, Alfred and Hugh) in the household of the 1820 Haywood census. William goes to Burke before 1824 where he married Mary Ann Patton that year? Then back to Haywood by 1829 and serves as bondsman for brother, James. A James and William are on 1830 Macon Co census, Macon recently being created. 1840 Habersham Co: Samuel Queen Hugh Queen 1840 Rabun Co: William Queen ****** Supposing that this is true and that this Samuel Queen left Montgomery County, NC after the 1810 census and was in Haywood by Jan 1820, did he stop enroute to visit/stay with/near relatives in Burke County? In the 1820's, son William return to Burke to marry Mary Ann Patton, then to Macon by 1829 and on to Rabun Co, Ga by 1840? Who was in Burke in 1810? Moses Queen (26-45) Richard Quinn (10-16) oldest female (45+) Who was in Burke in 1820? John Queen (45+)(per index) Moses Queen (45+) Ashford Quinn (16-26) Nancey Quinn (26-45) Burke in 1830? John Queen (50-60) also a male age 20-30 Moses Queen (50-60) William Queen James Quinn ************** Anyone have any more details concerning the marriage of a William Queen and Mary Ann Patton in Burke County, NC on 5-6-1824? Name of bondsman, witness, bride's parents, etc.? **** Yep, just messing around. Trying to find a possible Burke County connection for my Samuel Queen of 1776-80. Gene

Dear Cousins, Kids etal, November 20, 2000, was my last trip down to the cemetery. Then December 24, Mother fell and things went from bad to worse. We lost her on March 12, 2001. I made a few tentative attempts to get down, but things were going on with the owners and their families, and the place where they let me stay was in use. The lady, Edie, who ran the restaurant had been undergoing chemo for lung cancer, but she died in December. The restaurant is now closed. I had no place to stay. In desperation, I finally decided to just go for the day. With the cost of gas, I hated to do it, but felt I really needed to. All the recent rains brought both lovely wildflowers and millions of weeds and tall grass. I was dismayed! I worked first to make trails through by pulling weeds so I could see where I was walking. I hardly made a dent in them. Two branches of a cedar tree had broken and were dangling near where I had put the markers for Texanna and Frank. I had not thought I would need my saw, and did not bring it, so I just cut a lot of the little branches to protect the markers, and will deal with it next time. I dug a few briers, but they are rampant again! I needed to be at least three people to get it even half cleaned up. I worked until almost five and drove home in a blinding rain most of the way. I was glad to get home. I am going to make an attempt to contact some organizations like the Boy Scouts, the FHA and the Sheriff's dept, or whoever is in charge of prisoner work crews, to see if we can get some community service help here. It is just a daunting task right now and I feel overwhelmed. The Red Yucca and Rock Rose, and the Irises, all seem to be prospering, and there were lots of Prairie Verbena, Indian Blanket, Venus Looking-glass, and various other wild things growing. Well, I will let you all know if I can manage to get some help. I hope I can. It was in pretty good shape last fall. I hate to see it get taken over again with briers and other weeds. Love, Linda

Searching for a ggg-grandmother. Lucinda (Lucy) Queen married Joshua Taylor Dickey about 1830/31. She died March 1, 1832 in Rabun County GA 18 days after giving birth to her only child.

Hi Gang, Just got back from a business trip to North Carolina. (of course I managed to fit in some genealogy) Anyway, I visited the Polk County, Tennessee Historical Society located In Benton and found these QUEENS: Elizabeth QUEEN b. Feb 1852 in GA d. Aug 12 1941 in Epworth, GA. Wife of James Wade QUEEN. Buried in Mobile Baptist Church Cemetery, Fannin County, GA. This information has both excited and perplexed me. I can't help but speculate if this Elizabeth is the Elizabeth BEST who married my g-g-grandfather James W QUEEN. The birthdate is correct and one of my Elizabeth's sons and grandsons are buried in Mobile Cemetery. The conflict is the notation "Wife of James Wade Queen". I have been searching with the understanding that Elizabeth BEST married James WILLIAM Queen. Therefore, if anyone has information regarding James Wade QUEEN, please respond so I can clear my muddled noggin.

The specific data was located in the "Gerow Family Database" at worldconnect. Anyone who uses this data should be aware of the following: 1. The "4 May 1878" date of death for Alfred Queen listed in that particular database is incorrect, based upon personal conversations I had with some of the oldest living descendants of Alfred in the early 80's. (Alfred died before his wife) However, the above date is the exact date of death of Alfred's wife, my g. g. grandma, Polly Queen, as reported in church records. 2. A number of members of this list are convinced that the Joseph Queen living "next door" to my Samuel Queen of the 1830 Haywood census was the younger man in that household of 1830 and that the older man was William Queen. If true, then a Joseph Queen (b. ca 1740/50) did not exist in that household and would certainly be ruled out as the father of my Samuel (b. ca 1776/1780). Based upon this information and its conflict with my earlier assumption, I have concluded that more data is needed before any determination can be made regarding the father of my Samuel (b. ca 1776/1780). I welcome any evidence, that I have not already provided to this list, which suggests a possible link of this Samuel and Joseph. Thanks, Gene

I believe this Lewis M. QUEEN to be the son of Stephen QUEEN and Sarah STEWART, and a brother to the Myra or Elmira QUEEN who married John Harrison HUGHES. Information from his pension claim file: private company F 5th TN Mounted Infantry, Union Army Volunteers 1 Oct 1864 to 26 June 1865. From Murphy, Cherokee County, NC filed claim 20 Sep 1869 and died in Union Co GA 1 Oct 1870 while the claim was still pending. A medical exam in Jan 1870 showed he had galloping consumption or military tuberculosis. Consumption was listed as cause of death on the death certificate. He was in Co F along with John HUGHES [the one who married Myra QUEEN] and Jasper STUART and they made an affidavit for Lewis on 26 Nov 1869. Course it probably didn't help much that John and Jasper both had deserted on 29 Dec 1864! on 5 Dec 1870 Mary Ann CHRISTOPHER QUEEN filed a claim for the pension as Lewis's legal widow. She had a marriage certificate and couple of kids so she got $8 a month for herself and $2 each for the kids. Her first check was $627. Then on 4 Nov 1871, along came ANOTHER widow of Lewis QUEEN. One Margaret E. LEMMONS QUEEN. She stated they were married Sep 1863 in Cherokee County by John W. SHEARER, JP. Just thought it was interesting that he seems to have had TWO widows and no divorce that anyone has found.

Hi Philip and all, That's a troubling one. Troubling in the sense that he may be the James H. Queen who married Isabella Bryson....but I have absolutely nothing to go on other than: 1. He was in the right place at the right time and at about the right age (meaning that he was an adult of age 30). 2. My g. grandpa James H. Queen (son of Alfred) who married Rebecca Ray had the official name (say what?) of James H., but went by his middle name, Henry. I've always believed that my g.grandpa was named after his Uncle James H. Queen. No proof, of course. (Important note: There's also the belief by some that the James who married Isabella had the middle name of Houston or Huston, not Henry. The reason for this line of thought appears to be due to the fact that this James named his son, Samuel Houston.) I do want to be clear on this one. I am not suggesting that the James H. who married Isabella was this Henry of 1838. It's one of those "I wonder" things. If anyone has any factual data, clues or guesses concerning who this Henry was; then I'd love to hear the scoop. Gene Philip Minch wrote: > I don't know whose Queen this is.

Although it's unlikely that any of the Queen bunch came over between 1892 and 1924, the Ellis Island records are now available on line www.ellisislandrecords.org The site is extremely busy and patience is a must for early birds. Persistence pays off however, I had to try 15 - 20 times but I finally found my mothers father who came from Bohemia in 1913. The site will eventually give you access to actual written records and a photo of the ship. I found that using the last name only was the most productive. If I put in my grandfathers full name, no record comes back, but if I put in his last name only, the summary record appears. Another great source, Good Luck ! Don Queen
