Hi all, Grandchildren of John W. Queen, Jr. (b. 1816) left Macon County in the late 1800's and headed to new lands. If there's anyone who has located and is looking for a connection of any of the following names on census reports, marriage and birth/death records or the like since 1890 I'd appreciate hearing from you: Asher or Pottawatomie County, OK: Riley Bryan and wife, Callie Ann Lillie Queen Fleming Bryan (b. 1870 Macon Co) Dona P. Matlock Queen Sanders (b. ca 1847 Cherokee Co., NC) Towns County, GA. (1880-1900): Miles Sanders, Jr. and Dona P. Matlock Queen Sanders daughter..Ella Sanders Tulia, Titus County, Sherman County, Bexar County, Atascosa County, Potter County, Childress, TX: John W. Queen (b. 1866 Macon Co., NC) and Sarah Annie Latson Queen Guy Haywood Queen (b. 1896 Titus County, TX) Callie Ann Lillie Queen Fleming Bryan (b. 1870 Macon Co, NC) Joseph Wilborn Welch and Alva Rado Queen Welch (b. 1871 Macon Co., NC) Stone (or Stone County), Redstripe (or Pleasant Grove), Arkansas Joseph Wilborn or Alva Welch Donna P. Queen Sanders I am especially interested in the names of ANY Queen who was located in any of those places after about 1850 to 1930. The objective is to make a possible connection of the movement of John Queen's grandchildren to the areas of other relatives. Wild shot? Sure, but wild shots hit something. Thanks, Gene

Hi everyone, My puter is belly up once more so i've had it and will be getting a new one. Please don't reply to this email as I'm limited in cking my mail at my Mom's house and having to pay a long dist phone call (they don't have area +). Will be back online w/in the week hopefully. Bear w/me. Thanks, Mandy :)

Since Myra Queen was my ggrandmother (mother of Dolphus Grant), I am not sure about T.B. Queen (Myra's brother).I hope someone can help with this Marian

Hi folks, have a copy of Myra Elvira QUEEN's Certificate of Death which cites her birthdate as July 18, 1845. Somebody please refute my "natural sibling spacing" theory by coming up with a factual and more precise birthdate for Thomas Butler--something that is 9 months or less after hers. Absent positive proof of adoption (or other), a birthdate 9 months or less after Myra's would lend support to the theory of adoption. Hit me with your best shot!

Queen and/or T.B. Justice Hi all, I have a headache! Just who was T.B.J. Queen? I thought I knew, but now I wonder. (Is it possible that he was Thomas Butler Justice....Queen, that he was "adopted" by John Queen, he married in NC as a Queen; then prior to 1880 left NC, dropped Queen from his name and went to OK & TX as Justice where he married and raised a new family...only to be discovered in 1905-1907 by his N. C. wife, Dane, during his visit with his daughter, Callie in OK? Or, are these two or three different Thomas Butlers or Butler Thomases?). This post will deal only with the Queen side of his life as I interpret the data. The new data (to be presented in a later post) is significant to me, because if the data and interpretations are correct, then it reflects the move from Macon County, NC to OK, TX of another Queen family...possibly following older relatives. So much for my reasoning for getting involved with this one. Will anyone please shoot holes in the following as appropriate? John W. Queen, Jr. (b. ca 1816 d. 6-13-1863 Rome, GA) m.

Specific questions: Do we believe that the T.B.J. Queen who married D.P. Matlock was the same Butler or Butler Thos who was in the household of John W. Queen, Jr.? If so, does the 3 initials in his name open the door to the possibility that he was Thomas Butler Justice Queen, possibly adopted by the "wealthy" John Queen sometime between birth and age 4?

Thank you. I believe this helps answer a longstanding question: why did my Jackson Co. ggrandparents get married in Willits. Answer: some of his mother's people lived there. (My ggfather's parents had died five years earlier and the family had scattered. My ggfather's mother was a Queen -- Samuel H.'s daughter.)

CATHOLIC HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON NEXT MEETING DATE: SUNDAY, JUNE 18, 2000 4:00 P.M. LOCATION: SACRED HEART CHAPEL ON THE HILL 16501 ANNAPOLIS ROAD BOWIE, MARYLAND SPEAKER: ROBERT EMMETT CURRAN, PH.D. DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Sacred Heart Parish in Bowie, originally a Jesuit chapel and mission known as White Marsh, is the birthplace of the organized Catholic Church in the United States. It was here in 1789 that John Carroll was elected the first U.S. Bishop and the first Catholic college was founded in the form of an academy that became the future Georgetown University. The modest 18th century "chapel house" that witnessed these events is still preserved as part of the existing Sacred Heart Chapel on the Hill. By kind permission of the pastor, Msgr. John F. Hogan, our meeting on June 18 will be within the chapel walls. Dr. Robert Emmett Curran will speak on the events that took place here in 1789 and place these in historical context. Dr. Curran is the author of The Maryland Jesuits 1634-1833 (with Joseph T. Durkin, S.J., and Gerald A. Fogarty, S.J.), American Jesuit Spirituality: The Maryland Tradition, 1634-1900, and The Bicentennial History of Georgetown University, Volume 1, From Academy to University, 1789-1889. The Chapel on the Hill at Sacred Heart has been designated by the Archdiocese of Washington as a pilgrimage church for Jubilee Year 2000. Directions from Washington, D.C., and vicinity: Beltway exit 19 to John Hanson Highway (Route 50), exit and turn left on Collington Road (Route 197), right on Annapolis (Route 450), go past modern parish church, and take next road leading up to the Chapel on the Hill. Parking is available on top of the hill. Please allow an hour or more of driving time each way. Persons in need of transportation may contact Thomas Lalley at (202)-244-5953 or Mary Louise Ryan at (301)-345-1074..
