Hi all, Anyone researching the Caney Fork Queens....including the Joseph Queen and Samuel Queen of 1830 Haywood NC census...may be interested in this piece of data obtained from a kind researcher on another list: Identifications > Clemans Hooper (b. ca 1770) Clemmons Hooper was brother to Absalom and was also known as Boonie Hooper. He lived in Tennessee (Cocke County) from about 1815 (perhaps as early as 1810) to about 1835, when he returned to NC. You might be interested to learn that Clemmons gave testimony for the pension application of Samuel Queen. I am going to try to squeeze in a copy of the signature of Clemmons for the next issue of the Hooper Compass. > William Hooper (b. ca 1806) m. Nancy Son of Absalom Hooper, William was born 2 May 1806; d. 31 Oct 1893, married 22 June 1826 to Nancy Bryson. > Thomas Hopper (Hooper?) (b. ca 1755-1774) Buncombe Co., NC 1800 census. The Thomas Hopper of the 1800 Buncombe census may be a duplicate of the Thomas Hooper enumerated near Absalom Hooper in SC in 1800 (Absalom himself appears on both the Greenville and Pendleton listings - he had property nearly straddling the boundary). NO Thomas Hooper is on the 1810 Buncombe, nor in SC. However, the widow Hannah (Alexander) Hooper/Hopper was on the 1810 Buncombe, with a huge household of sons born between 1800 and 1810. Hannah d. 1 May 1871 in the household of her son-in-law Solomon Carter. Carter descendants do identify the husband of Hannah as a Thomas Hopper/Hooper. ............................... The Samuel referred to by Anne is apparently the Samuel who married Dicey, not my Samuel of ca 1776-80. However, my Alfred, probable son of "my" Samuel, sold out and headed to Cocke County, TN about 4 years after "Boonie" Hooper returned from Cocke County and lived amongst the Queens! I wonder? Still searching under haystacks and anywhere else there might be a needle, or the eye of a needle. Gene
