Drew's question including the possible relationship of "nephew" draws me back to the question of old William and old John of early N.C. The details escape me now, but as I recall there are documents relating to a William MacQueen and a John MacQueen in Anson or Bladen County. There are more records of just plain Queen. I believe that some listers have concluded (at least tentatively) that it was in N. C. where the MacQueens of Maryland became just plain Queen. Am I correct with this assumption? The questions of where Richard fits and whether the 19s or 20s came first in the very early Queen (or MacQueen) lineage seem to remain unanswered. Sometimes I miss the forest for the trees; but is there logic in these thoughts? 1. If the 19's descend from old William, then the 19s came after the 20s. 2. If the 19s descend from a brother to old William, then the 20 could have mutated with old William, leaving the 19 with his brother and descendants from that lineage. 3. Old William had the 20 since descendants of son Samuel and son William Lewis have the 20. 4. Since Richard had the 20, he would be of the old William lineage. Please rip into these thoughts and help me see. Drew, Rolla, anyone???

Is he supposedly another son of Old William or a nephew?
