It appears that I stand corrected regarding living descendants of this Meredith in Golden Valley today. On this rainy afternoon I was pondering the YDNA results of the "no mutation" samples. If my data is correct, we have six samples with identical results at the 67 marker level. One of those samples is of a descendant of Samuel Queen of 1759 (another sample of the lineage has a mutation). Two of the samples reportedly represent the Meredith Queen lineage. Then there are the samples of Richard of ca 1766, Isaac of ca 1806 and the Joseph Queen sample. Are there other connections here that we are missing? Just how likely is it that a living donor carries the exact YDNA of old William? For the purpose of discussion/argument, let's suppose that William Lewis Queen, Sr. had a strong lock on his YDNA. Could all the perfect matches (except for the one of Samuel of 1759) link back to Wm L., Sr? Yes/No? Why or why not? I believe that some have concluded that Meredith of 1775 was a son of Wm L., Sr. (That's two samples) If kit 29459 descends from Joseph H. Queen, son of Wm L., Sr,; then that's sample #3. Could Richard Queen of ca 1766 fit as a son of Wm L., Sr? What is the best guess as year of birth of Richard? Then there's Isaac Queen of ca 1806. Anyone care to tinker with this?

Anyone wish to talk about subject. Rumor has it that there are some descendants of this gentleman in Rutherford County to this very day. It also appears that we have two YDNA samples probably representing the Meredith lineage. How many children did this man have? What happened to 'em? Just wondering. Gene

I don't know how to contact people who submitted the info. Maybe Linda does. Shirley

Sue, Thanks for the update. This is great information for the lineages in questions. We are anxiously awaiting the return of your families DNA sample. So far I don't see it as having been returned. Don't let up the pressure. This DNA sample will not only answer a lot of questions for you, but may lead some of the rest of us down very productive paths.

The information I've seen would include a William Lewis Queen, Jr. and a Meredith Queen (my particular ancestor). I've seen controversy regarding whether William Lewis Queen, Sr.'s wife was Margaret Meredith and feel that naming a son Meredith (called Mereday) somewhat confirms it. There is information regarding the family in Rutherford County, N.C. records - land sales, wills, etc. You can access that through Genweb, I believe. William Lewis Queen's family moved to Golden Valley and owned land on the First Broad River and his father, William Queen, was buried there in Golden Valley Cemetary. I was raised in Golden Valley, in Rutherford County, N.C., but didn't know that that was where the family originally settled until I started doing genealogy because my grandfather was born and raised in Cleveland County, N.C. next to Rutherford County. I think James H. in 1794 would have been born too late to be William Lewis Sr.'s son - maybe he was Jr.'s son? Debra Queen O'Connell Lexington, KY
