Hello Queen list members, After reading the letter from Linda Menikos, seems anyone who just might have relatives resting in Queen Cemetery (like, ME!) should like to know just how to get to the cemetery. And, just how could we help? Donations, etc.? Where to send donations? I have a tentative plan for April to visit Blairsville to check on records there, plus re-visit Pleasant Grove Cemetery where all those Queen's belong to my line. While on that subject - Please note that the "Lizzie Queen" buried in Pleasant Grove requires a story about the name and tombstone. "Lizzie, Mother of Mose" is the tombstone inscription, right beside "James, Father of Mose." This is James C. Queen. His wife's name was Sarah ?. Note the specific identification of the individuals, as if someone wanted the complete identification of the people interred to be known. The tombstones are twentieth century work, not 19th century as they should have been if placed when the individuals died. Moses J. Queen, the individual noted on both stones, is also buried at Pleasant Grove, along with his second wife - Sarah Adeline Redden Fain Queen. Moses' first wife, Elizabeth Akins, was called "Lizzie." This name appeared on one of her children's death certificates where parents names were listed. My point- I sincerely hope that the individual who paid for, and placed the tombstones, did not mix up the names of James' wife (Sarah) and Moses' first wife Elizabeth ("Lizzie"). These stones were placed up into the twentieth century and the individuals, i.e., James and Sarah, had died probably prior to 1890. Second item: Also resting in Pleasant Grove Cemetery is a tombstone which seems to have escaped all the lists and the assigning of children to specific parents. This child's stone reads: William F. Queen, August 20, 1885-August 25, 1893. Since the 1890 census cannot help, no death or birth certificates or registration, just who is this child? Just a reminder, the Moses J. Queen above died on June 22, 1893! Does the proximity of their death dates have a significance? These are questions for which I have no answers. For anyone wishing to hazard some analysis, would love to hear from you. For anyone wishing to listen to "my" supposition, contact me and we will just guess away! Seriously, some well thought out analysis is required on all these connections. And that type of analysis, I can live with. Thanks for your time. Regards, Jerry.

Please don't shoot with live ammo, but I'd really like for someone to clean up my confusion if possible. I am aware that different folks interpret data differently...and there's nuttin wrong with that. But, if there are rock solid facts available, what are they regarding my mess I have listed here (no personal research of mine, just what I've gleaned from the hard work of others): Meredith Queen (b. 1775 or 1783 in Wilkes Co, Ga or Gaffney, SC or somewhere. m 2-16-1797 Rutherford Co., NC d. Cleveland Co., NC) m. Jane Newton (b. ca 1784 NC d. <1860 Cleveland Co., NC. (dau. of Benjamin Newton) .....son George Queen (b. ca 1797 d. ca 1877 Benton Co., MS) m. 1st "Mrs. Betsy Queen" (m. 11-8-1818 Where?) m. 2nd Nancy (?Elizabeth McCall?) Newton Goins (b. 1797 in NC d. 1854 Tippah Co., MS) (She widow of Daniel Goins?) m 3rd Caroline W. Griffin (m. 1-31-1859)(She was wife of Benjamin Griffin)...or, was Caroline the wife of George's son, George D. Queen (b. ca 1841)? .....son Charles Queen ............son Isaac Queen (b. ca 1825-30 maybe Cleveland Co., NC. m. Cleveland Co. d. 1901 McDowell Co., NC) m. Lucinda Towery .....son John Queen (b. ca 1805) Finally, how many children did this Meredith Queen have (George, Charles and John?, more? less? Are they documented or best guesses?). In a Feb 5 post, Reiley was quite explicit that a Meredith Queen m. Jane Newton. Reiley, can you be as explicit regarding year and state of birth of Meredith? That's all for now, but there's probably a dozen or more questions in all this for those with the time and interest in giving it a shot. Thanks. Gene

Hi folks, I should have given y'all the url I used to obtain all the Georgia census info.

I have a copy of the will of Margaret Queen b. abt. 1759 in NC, wife of Francis b. abt. 1751. In one item Margaret says that she leaves all of her property that she has in TN to James McBroom (where the property is). Does anyone know how this McBroom family ties in with the Queens? I have a notation that Margaret's parents may have been Hammon and not McBroom. Jean

Well, it wouldn't let me send the map and I was afraid of that.

In addition to the question of legitimacy (and paternity?), I think it's remarkable that there's an apparent 5-year gap between Louisa's and James' birthdates considering all children born subsequent to Louisa occurred in rapid-fire succession. Was Martha REALLY ~26 years old when her first (?) child, Louisa, was born? What year did Martha die, anyway? The cause looks like probable exhaustion to me, poor thing. >From about 2 emails ago, there also appears to be a discrepancy in her birthdate making Louisa even older: "Mobile Cemetery, Mccaysville, Fannin County, GA lists Huffman, Louiza 8/5/1832 1/23/1900 w/o Henry (Gene: Huffman)" Gayle Cantrell gpcantrell@home.com What's my line? -----Original Message----- From: O Eugene Queen [mailto:EQueen@lexcominc.net] Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2000 11:45 AM To: QUEEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [QUEEN] Pleasant and Martha Hi all, Looking for parents of Pleasant Queen.

(Could it be that Louisa was openly acknowledged as their dau, including using the Queen name; before they were married? Just took Pleasant a few years to tie the knot? Also, were common law marriages legal in GA in 1835?) Where were these folks in 1860? Note suggests that a Pleasant was in Whitfield Co., GA in 1860. Also a James M. Queen and William J.

Hi Y'all! Been a while and it's been hard for me to keep up. Wow, Gene really put a burr under the saddle of the Queen group! Thanks Gene! I don't have any Queen info but I did have a 1790 TN map that I wanted to send since Gene was looking for one. Little off the subject but wanted to mention it. We went to Franklin, TN this weekend (middle TN, near Nashville) and toured an old plantation called the Carnton Plantation. It was 100 yds from the Battle of Franklin (Civ War) and served as one of the 44 hospitals in this Battle. They just got the house not too many years ago and are in the process of restoring it. It was used as a hay barn and chickens were running straight through the foyer. (can you imagine? ugh) They found wall paper under some of the things they were tearing down and reproduced it for the foyer so it is very authentic. They have about 4 more rooms done in things that would have been sold at the time in Nashville but they can't find clues to reproduce it authentically. The tour guide was very informative and it was very relaxed as we and one other couple were the only ones touring at the time. He really brushed me up on my Civ. War history. But to go upstairs and see the blood stains on the floor where the operating room was was an amazing step back in time. They had an old wood door set up on saw horses under a window like they would have used back then. Right where the Doc would have stood were blood drips from his apron and a bloody foot print. There was a ring on the floore where his can would have been and then drips from where his assistant stood. There's no way I would cover that w/carpet and they don't think they want to either. He did tell me that a lot of the families stayed after the war but it was a common site to see on folks empty houses, written across the door GTT. Gone to Tx. I didn't know this, did you? I asked him what the attraction was to TX and he told me that there were so many people killed that the land was just up for grabs and the cattle were running free. So when you're looking for ancestors around the Civ. War time, (fr TN) might ck TX. The family who lived there were the McGavock family. And the house that we toured last summer, the Belle Meade Mansion? This McGavock mans sister was the mistress of that Mansion. Kindof interesting. Well, enough on that subject, when I can catch up I'm sure I'll have 100s of print outs to read from the activity on the list!

Jerry: Even though death certificates became mandatory in 1914, no one was really enforcing it and many slipped through the cracks. My grgrandmother doesn't have one and she died in 1920. Does anyone else know when they started enforcing them? I've been told before but can't remember.

Stevie Lou Powell wrote: Betty Knight-Eugene Queen and others, This is one Queen that I don't remember seeing any information on. I have a copy of a death certificate for a James Franklin Queen born June 20. 1865 in Blairsville, Georgia. He died October 27, 1938 in Union County. His parents are listed as Merida Queen and Elizabeth Brackett. Can someone tell me who this Elizabeth Brackett is the daughter of? The death certificate states parents born Georgia, but I don't find a marriage record in Union County. Also maybe this will hgelp someone else. Stevie Lou Powell Stevie and all, I don’t know for certain who Elizabeth Brackett Queen’s parents are but I offer the name of Felix Walker Brackett based on some of the facts to follow. Please let me know your thoughts. In the 1880 Union Co Ga Census, Elizabeth’s parents are also listed as being born in GA. There are some possibilities. One is that Elizabeth Brackett was married prior to marriage with Queen. Another possibility some other Bracketts were in GA earlier than the Union Co Bracketts. I have found a William Brackett in a 1799 Tax Index in Jackson Co, GA.(no further info available) Other Bracketts in Hall Co, GA, as early as 1830, Polly, Betsy and Benjamin Bracketts. Benjamin Brackett married Susan Hubbard(of Native Amer descent) and had a son Jesse M. who stated on Indian Rolls that his Grandparents were Thomas and Elizabeth Brackett. ( Stevie some researchers think that this Thomas Brackett is also father of our Morgan Brackett and I did find listed in a Union Co, Census where one of the descendands of the Hall Co Bracketts were living next door to one of Morgan Bracketts children, coincidence or relationship.) Hall Co, GA - Benjamin Brackett (b c1803)NC has brothers Lewis(b. c1810), Mige b. c1812), Jesse(b c.1815) and Bradford (b c1819 who married in Lumpkin Co, GA and his descendants still live there). I also noticed that one of Morgan Brackett’s sons, Morgan Washington Brackett named a son Bradford Brackett. Another Brackett in the N. GA area was Felix Walker Brackett who moved to Habersham Co, GA in early 1830’(according to Clyde Brown, desc. of Felix). Felix married Jane Asinthe(Cynthia) Queen. Living next door to Felix Brackett is Joseph, Hugh and Samuel Queen. I don’t know the relation of these three Queen men to Jane Queen Brackett. Facts> Felix Walker Brackett had a store in Brackettown, NC during the 1827-1833 gold rush. With information from Clyde Brown and the 1850 Census of Habersham Co, GA, the following facts can be determined for Felix Brackett and family: Felix Brackett (44 NC) (b. c. 1806) Jane (38 NC) Jane (Asinthe) Queen (b. c1812) LG(19 female, NC) This is Louisa b. 1839 m.

This message posted last May was the result of quite a bit of checking on census records, cemetery records and tombstones, etc. Anyone with questions, fire away. Anyone who can help, please do! For instance, finding just one of these children of James C. Queen and Sarah..? could give additional data. Example: Merida died September 11, 1930. No Death Certificate in Union County. Archives says no. By law, Death certificates were mandatory by 1914! Surely I am missing something here. Several specifics on some of the other children of James C. Queen are available. If interested, please contact. Will be glad to forward.

Queen Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi group, Sorry to add to the load of mail coming in, but this is another in the series of 'discoveries' regarding the chase for James C. Queen's ancestors. Got the 1830 Burke census today and looks like another 'bingo.' 2 males - 0-5, 1 male - 20-30 1 female - 5-10, 1 fem - 10-15, 1 fem 20-30 Listing was for: James Quinn, page 177, Burke Co., NC. The female age 10-15 probably is not a part of the children of James and his wife that based on the age alone. The others, bless their little pea-picking hearts, have given me more accurate ages and a more accurate line-up for James' children. Catherine/1826? Moses/1828 John/1830 (probably just before the census was taken) James/1834 (a child missing in here, or closer to 1833) Susan/1836 William/1838 Nancy/1840 (very accurate from other census records) Sarah/1842 Mereday/1844 Jane/1846 Caroline/1849 (possible late 1848) James would definitely fit into the mold as a son of the Moses Quinn, listed in Burke Co. He could be accounted for in the Moses Quinn census records, and disappeared (as a number in the Moses' sons column) just in time to appear in the 1830 census! No proof yet. just some long, agonizing, analysis. Where did these people come from? Anyone know anything else on this group? Regards, Jerry --------------552BEC1B388E7E3E274D2BA8--
