Follw this link to view 179 QUEENS buried in various national cemeteries. Happy hunting, Charlton http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSfn=&GSln=queen

Hi all, Thanks Pelikan2! All right! It's time to "mix it up" in a friendly and helpful way. Is the James Queen who married Zilpah Hogan the father of Hampton Queen (b. ca 1796 Rutherford)? Why or why not and what are the facts or clues? I have none. Was the Mary Queen (b. ca 1784 and married Samuel Correll) a sister to the above James Queen? If that's true and if Hampton was the son of James, then Mary Queen Correll would have been Aunt Mary to Hampton?? Now, this is interesting: Hampton and children reported as being in Madison Co, Iowa in 1850. Hogan reportedly left Indiana for Madison Co, Iowa 3 years after that. So, dad led the way from Indiana to Iowa? Someone else's turn now. Thanks, Gene

A recent conversation with one of my Georgia cousins revealed a family story of some of our ancestors going to Arkansas and Texas. These QUEENS would be related to my elusive James William QUEEN of N. Georgia (Married Adra PATTERSON then Mary Ann "Polly" PATTERSON in Fannin County, GA 1870's). Does anyone have folks meeting this description? Thanks, Charlton

Question? Is James really Hampton's father??? Mary is aunt of Hampton....Which Hampton?? Indiana 1830 census Hampton Queen is in Bartholomew Co. (p214 or 426) 3100010000000 - 10000100000 Hampton 30-40yrs Indiana 1840 census (pg 141) Listed as Hampton Quinn, German Twp Bartholomew Co. 012200100000 - 11110010000 Hampton would be 40-50yrs 1850 Hampton and children in Madison Co, Iowa. Hampton listed at being 54 yrs Hampton died in 1855 in Polk County, Iowa, but buried in Madison Co, Iowa. ***************************** Hogan Queen & Martha Runkle were married in Bartholomew Co, IN. 5 Feb 1846 Sorry, can't find my1850 Indiana census but can provide the following: Iowa State1856 Census, South Twp, Madison Co, Iowa Hogan Queen 32 M.A. Queen 30 W.H. Queen 10 Ind P. J. Queen 8 " J. L. Queen 4 " Thos H Queen 2 Iowa 1860 Iowa Census, South Twp, Madison Co, Iowa Hogan Queen 38 Martha Ann 39 William H 14 Phebe Jane 11 John L 9 Thomas H 6 Mary E. 2

Hi all, James Queen (b. ca 1774), son of Francis Queen, reportedly died in Clayborn (Claiborn?) Co, TN. Hampton Queen (b. ca 1796) married Hannah Williams in 1820 in Wayne Co, IN and she died there in 1849. Hampton died in Polk, Iowa in 1855. Mary Ann Runkle married Hogan Queen, son of Hampton Queen (b. ca 1796 Rutherford Co., NC) in Indiana on 2-5-1846. Left Bartholomew County, IN in 1853 and "came to Iowa by wagon trail (train?), 16 days on the road". (Ref: Madison Co., Iowa webpage obituary.) Mary Queen, dau of Francis Queen and Aunt of Hampton Queen, married Samuel Correll and died in 1872 in Sullivan Co., Indiana. Looking for a time-line here, who went first? When did James (b. 1774) die in TN? Did James have any children other than Hampton? Where did they go and when? And....does anyone have the 1850 Bartholomew Co., IN census data which should include Hogan and Martha A. Runkle Queen and their children: William Henry, Susan Isabelle, Sarah Elizabeth and Phoebe Jane? Recommended website for those interested in Hogan's family in Iowa and haven't yet visited:: http://www.rootsweb.com/~iamadiso/index.html Check out the marriages, obituaries and Young Cemetery, Truro, Iowa. Thanks for any assistance with the 101 questions. Gene

Y'all know that I have to ask it.... Any relationship between the Giles/Jiles Landon Carter (b. ca 1780?) who married Selah/Seley Queen (dau of Henson) and the Ross Carter (b. ca 1811) who married Olive Queen, daughter of Wm L. Queen, Jr.? Olive would have been Selah's first cousin, once removed, I believe. Sure, I know that you would have posted it to the list if you had found a connection, just wanted you to think about it. Thanks, Gene.

Queen Cousins, Who was Wade Hampton? Per <http://www.aoc.gov/art/nshpages/hampton.htm> Wade Hampton was born on March 28, 1818, in Charleston, South Carolina, to one of the wealthiest landowner families in the state. His early years were spent on the family estates at "Millwood" and "Cashier's Valley." In 1836 Hampton graduated from South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina). After the death of his father, he retreated to his grandfather's Mississippi plantation and assumed the life of a planter. He was elected in 1852 to the South Carolina legislature from Richland County and served until 1856; he then served in the state Senate until he resigned in 1861. Though he had not favored secession, he supported the Confederacy from the outset. He offered his cotton for exchange in Europe for arms and he raised a legion of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. His experience and skill as a horseman made him a superior cavalry officer. In 1862 he was advanced to brigadier general of the cavalry. He was involved in many major battles, including Gettysburg. Hampton was promoted to major general in 1863 and lieutenant general in 1865. From 1876 to 1896 Wade Hampton was a symbol of South Carolina politics, serving as Governor from 1876 to 1879 and as U.S. Senator from 1879 to 1891. From 1891 to 1897 he served as United States Railroad Commissioner. He died in Columbia, South Carolina, on April 11, 1902. This should put him in perspective. James B. Hardin

Hi, To anyone that is interested, in today's Washington Post, it states, A federal judge in Baltimore ordered yesterday that the Confederate battle flag be allowed to fly at the cemetery in Maryland. Where more than 3,000 Southern prisoners are buried. Nancy Q. Wiley Burke Va.

It's a site we should all visit. I went there a few years ago, unfortunately there's not much left of the prison grounds. I bought the book about Camp Life, it's full of diaries and sketches by prisoners, nothing from any Queen. I'm wintering in the Desert and the book is up north. I'll be back home in March and I'd be glad to look up any other names. This was the place where many Confederate prisoners, including John Henderson Queen, were sent to take the oath at the end of the war. Must have been a long walk home to Burke Co. N.C.

Hi all, Is anyone on the list familiar with the research of Marjorie E. Queen. This particular Marjorie was researching the Queens back in the 70's. Marjorie descends from the Indiana Queens. Her grandfather, John Lewis Queen (b. 12-16-1851 IN), married Laura Florence Ross. John Lewis was a son of Hogan and grandson of Hampton Queen (b. ca 1796 Rutherford Co., NC). By the early 80's I was told that Marjorie was not in the best of health and was limiting her research. She had provided much info to a party with whom I was communicating at the time. Any info regarding Marjorie (of Indiana, I believe) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gene

Hi all, Checking for Green families near Queen or related families on census for NC for possible clues as to whereabouts of Sarah. The Will of Henson (b. ca 1742) was reportedly written in Burke Co. in 1823 and probated in Rutherford Co., NC in 1826. Sarah born ca 1771. 1810 Burke Co. census pg 131/357 Richard Queen Hof H at age 10<16? next...John McFalls? next...Moses Queen, age 26<45, perhaps son of Wm. L. Queen, Sr. 4 names later...John Green, age 26<45 w/female 26<45, plus 7 children 5 names later...John Wisenhunt, age 26<45 1820 Rutherford Co., NC census pg 358 Archy Green, age 16<26 w/female 26<45 w/2 males <10 (doesn't seem to fit the above Sarah?) 2 names later...Isaiah Melton, age 16<26 6 names later...Rebecca Hogue, dau of William of 1716 and widow of Stephen Hogue. 1820 Rutherford, pg 357 John Green, age 16<26 w/female same age 33 names later....Henson Queen, age 45+ w/female 45+ Near Henson are Catharine Hunt, William Johnson, William Hunt, Sr and John Hix ...Especially for Carol and Mandy: 1820 Iredell Co., NC has a Richard Green on pg 233 (3 pgs from David Queen on pg 236) Richard's data: 200010..01110. This age could fit the Richard G. Green (b. NC) age 62 on 1850 Campbell Co., TN census. Per 1850 TN census, son John was age 25 and born in TN; thus if same man, would have left NC between 1820-1825.
