Hi group, 62nd Regiment, NC Troops - organized with Col. R.G.A. Love as commander.These men were from the western NC counties of mainly Haywood and some from Buncombe, McDowell, and several others. Can't remember them all, and do not have the documentation for the exact info. But this at least gives some location and background on the unit. By the way, this Regiment was captured at Cumberland Gap in September of 1863 and the prisoners subsequently transported to Camp Douglas, Chicago, Ill. Companies A, C, E, and I were from Haywood County, NC. Hope this helps. Regards, Jerry. Don wrote: > Here is the Civil War record of my Great > Grandfather John H. Queen.

I received an e-mail from a cousin asking if I knew a John Queen who served in the Civil War. This is what she wrote to me. In an 1863 letter,sent from Camp Zollicopper,Sylvanan Co.-my g-g-g-grandfather, George Washington Wright, tells his wife Martha that he is sending her money by John Queen. Any relation? George was in the 62nd Regiment. Does anyone know who this John Queen maybe.

It has occurred to me that some folks on this list who do not get the opportunity to travel to NC...or maybe not often..may be interested in a photo or so of some areas which have been discussed on this list. I am NOT a good photo person, but did make it a point to get some fair shots which I would be pleased to scan and share with anyone privately. If interested, just ask. Fairly decent photos include: Oconalufty River at Smokemont Cullowhee Creek Forks of Tuckasegee River at Tuckasegee Caney Fork Creek at East Laport Gene

Many thanks to Vicki for her recent post and referral to the NC Marriage bonds at ancestry.com! If one enters just the name "Queen", then 119 entries are available. Ed Stinnett...One such entry was for Mary Queen m. William B. Morgan on 2-3-1833 in Macon County. Comment: Daughter of Samuel Queen. This is the same marriage I referred to some weeks ago, except that I did not have the info "dau of Samuel Queen". Did your Samuel Queen of 1759 have a dau Mary who could have fit this? I'm tentatively assuming that Mary was the dau of Samuel of 1776-1780; thus another child tagged for this Samuel? Anyone on the list have this Mary listed with any other Samuel Queen? Very interesting...the 12-20-1832 marriage in Macon County of Maxwell Queen to Sela Rose (or was it Rhodes??, just trying to provoke thoughts of possibilities). Interesting in that the Bondsman was William Morga (n?). Was this the same William Morgan who married Mary, dau of Samuel Queen? Gene

Anyone know the identity of the Henry Queen who was with Co. F, Macon Co., NC...1838 Indian Removal, N.C. Regiment? Thanks. Gene

I guess we are kin somehow. I don't have any information about John N, but Arizona QUEEN was my 4g grandmother. She married a BEAVER. She had a brother named Elias Bishop QUEEN. I don't have a lot of information & would love to find out more information. Most everything I have I got out of a Williamson Co. Book. I know she was the daughter of Elias Butler QUEEN & his second wife Martha Jane BARBER.

Our trip to Maryland had to be cancelled because Danny got pneumonia. He is doing better . He is at home on oxygen. Please keep him in your prayers. Sue

Hi Cousins, There is a John N Queen b 12-12-1851 who is buried in Bagdad Cem in Williamson Co TX. I can't figure out who he belongs to. Our Elias had a John b 1853, a twin, but he died just a month after he was born. The closest I have in dob is John Merritt Queen, son of James Smith Queen. Give me some help here, and see if you have John N in your records. He was in the area of our Elias and his family, but he can't be a child of Elias. Texanna was b 1850, next was the twins John and Wm in 1853. He could have possibly had a child between, but he would not have named both John, and the John who died was two years after the John N was born. Also, he never showed up on a census in the household of Elias. Linda

A bit more info regarding the subject to see if can stir some interest: 1830 Macon census, pg 17 was a John Queen, age 20<30, living next door to a William West. Over on pg 18 was a William Morgan, age 50<60 with two males in HH, ages 20<30 and two other males 15<20. 02-03-1833 Mary Queen m. Wm. B. Morgan in Macon Co (No witnesses) 1835 Scotts Creek, Haywood County Poll list reflects a Wm B. Morgan 1840 Macon Co, NC census lists a William B. Morgan, age 30<40 on pg 157. A William West and Nancy Carson are listed nearby. 1850 Macon and Haywood...no index listing for William or William B. Morgan 06-25-1863 "William B. Morgan" purchases two hundred acres of land from N.S. Jarrett. Land lies in Macon County on the "Nantiyalee" River. 04-17-1872 Wm. B. Morgan purchases two hundred acres of land from Sheriff Jas Causler for taxes due. Witnessed by J. D. Fraiser and B. W. Bell. Land lies in Macon County on the "Nantihala" River beginning ...near said Morgans house at an apple tree (formerly a white oak). Note: This 160 x 200 pole rectangular tract borders Morgan's other 160 x 200 pole tract on the south side. Interesting. Looks as if Morgan rooted up the white oak and planted an apple tree on the corner. Questions: Who were this Mary Queen and Wm B. Morgan? Where were they between 1840 census and the 1863 land purchase...if it's the same people? Was this the same Wm. B. Morgan who voted in 1835 Scotts Creek, Haywood Co.?

I've gotten from somewhere -- notes still in box -- that at least one Bryson son had moved back to North Carolina after the Revolution, during which they'd all been in Upstate South Carolina. (I've seen transcriptions of documents on the family in at least one of the Pendleton District books.) I'm finally at the point where I can say I expect to be able to make some return visits to Haywood and Jackson Co. Registrars of Deeds offices in the foreseeable future (probably after Labor Day, due to the heat and my outdoor pets). I did make some notes in both counties late in '98, but I apparently only hit the surface. (I've got several lines in both counties.)

Hi all, Research opportunities regarding Samuel Queen of 1776-1780???...and more: Samuel Queen (b. ca 1776-1780) m. Unknown (b. ca 1784-1794). Name is first located(?) as S. Queen on the 1810 Montgomery Co., NC census next to R. Queen (age 16-26). Next on the 1820 and 1830 Haywood Co. NC census. Possibly crossed over the Tuckasegee to Macon Co. with Joseph and William Queen, Sr. between 1830-1832. Disappears by 1840. Descendants: ...Unknown female (b. 1800-1804) ...?John Queen (b. 1802-1804) m. Unknown (b. ca 1800-1810) ...Unknown male(b. 1800-1810 d. 1810-1820 perhaps Montgomery or Macon) ...Unknown female (b. 1805-1810) ...James H. Queen (b. 1808) m. Isabella Bryson in 1929 ...Alfred Queen (b. ca 1810) m. Mary Ann Unknown ...Unknown male (b. 1810-1820) ...Unknown female (b. 1810-1815) ...Unknown female (b. 1810-1820) ...Unknown female (b. 1810-1820) ...Unknown female (b. 1810-1820) ...Unknown male (b. 1820-1825) Anyone care to tinker with this? I put John Queen of 1830 Macon census in as a son of this Samuel because: a) The YOB fits like a glove. b) Samuel's son, James H. Queen crossed the river over into Macon County before the 1830 census. I understand that's where his Bryson girlfriend, Isabella, was and he married her in 1829 Haywood. Joseph and William Queen, Sr. apparently crossed over by the time of their 1832 court appearance in Macon. Joseph was on the 1835 Macon Poll list for "Culliwhee"....and so was a John. c) A John Queen's name, age 20-30, appears on 1830 Macon Co., NC census. The household includes a female, age 20-30 and an unidentified male, age 10<15 (b. 1815-1820) I'm guessing that this unidentified male is the younger brother of John, who was listed with Samuel on the 1820 but not 1830 Haywood census. John's residence is 17 houses from James Queen and next door to William West. Also three houses from Thomas Welch, age 20<30. (More on this later.) By 1840 the world has turned upside down insofar as these folks and the Macon census is concerned: William Queen, Sr. has died. James H. Queen and Isabella have bought land on Scotts Creek and are there in Haywood with their children, Martha Jane, John B. and Sam Houston. Alfred Queen has left for Cocke Co., TN (after perhaps a short stay in Scotts Crk) Joseph Queen has left for Georgia. Samuel Queen (this one, not Dicy's husband) has left or died. John Queen (b. 1802-1804) has left or died. Notes: We know about the John Queen (b. 1810-1820) of 1840 Macon who married Martha Hickey. This John is not him. We know about John R. Queen (b. 1803) who married Mary Coward. He was a son of Samuel who married Dicy, and was in Haywood in 1830, 1840 and 1850. This John is not him. Therefore, this is an "unknown" John Queen (b. ca 1803). Or, was he, indeed the son of Samuel of 1776-1780? At least one interesting note. The 1840 Macon census DOES include the name of a John Queen. In the household is a male (b. 1770-1780), another male (b. 1810-1820) and a female (b. 1790-1800). This residence is 9 houses from Thomas Welch, age 30<40. We believe this to be the old John of Montgomery County (son of Henson Queen of ca 1742) with his son, John Queen who later married Martha Hickey. My "interesting note is" why did he move so close to Thomas Welch....who lived near the "other" John in 1830? And...who was this William Queen (another son of Henson Queen of 1742.)? The 1840 Macon census includes a Wm Queen household with males born 1780-1790, 1820-1825, 1825-1830 and <5, and with a female (b. ca 1790-1800) and other females. The 1850 Macon census includes a Wm Queen (b. ca 1790), Elizabeth (b. ca 1795) and a William (b. ca 1830). ............... Female Hof H 1830 Macon, pg 20: Mary Queen, 30<40 (b. 1790-1800) Male, 5<10 (b. 1820-1825) Male, <5 (b. 1825-1830) .................... Possible marriages of children of Samuel of 1776-1780...Macon Co. Marriage Register: 02-03-1833 Mary Queen m. Wm. B. Morgan (Wm. B. Morgan on 1835 Haywood County, Scotts Creek Poll) 10-26-1833 Margaret Queen m. Jessey Sherrill 11-8-1834 Mary Queen m. John Turner So, can anyone shine the spotlight? Thanks for any clues. I'm out for a few days. Gene
