Looks like the info out of the History of the Queen Family. Unfortunately I (for one) do not believe it. If all this happened then there should be some piece of paper somewhere with some information on it. It is my understanding not one piece of information in the book has a paper trail agreeing with any claim, in fact there are a lot of contradictions. Surely between Magistrate, British Officer, shipping manifests, something should be there. ========= Begin forwarded message: > From: msbaldwin43@aol.com > Date: July 5, 2007 9:38:51 PM EDT > To: QUEEN-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [QUEEN] Charles Queen > > ? > http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/minibios/q/queen_family.htm > > ? > > We find there are quite a number of emigrants coming to America > from Ireland by the name of McQueen and McQuinn, and they tell us > there are no people in Ireland by the name of just QUEEN.
