They lived in the NW section of the city known as Tenleytown. Althea was the daughter of William Paxton and Ruth Selman who wed in Frederick Co. MD in 1802. She was born in 1809. She lived one hundred years and she had a number of sister and brothers who married other Tenleytown families. Her husband Alexis (AKA known as Electious) Queen was the son of Samuel Queen, who was the son of Richard Queen who in his will gave Queen's Chapel to Archbishop John Carroll in 1792. Queen's Chapel is locate just outside of DC in Prince George's County Maryland. Richard was the son of Marsham Queen, who was in turn was the son of Samuel Queen. Richard Marsham was the father of Katherine who wed Samuel Queen. Althea (Paxton) Queen tracks back to Anthony West who was at Jamestown. Althea was a Methodist while her husband was a Roman Catholic. Althea gave an interview to the Washington Times in 1905 in which she gave quite a bit of family information. It contained pictures of five generations of her family. WE will be honoring her and others buried in the cemetery located behind Eldbrooke Methodist Church on 9 October of this year at 2:00. There will be two genealogical lectures and we will honor those who were formally deeded the cemetery and other leaders in the history of Tenleytown. Again this is the NW corner of Washington, DC.
