    3. Thanks Luann-"Lee" is a girl, dau. of Edmond Queen, not a son. Corrected. Samuel Queen, probably 6th son of "Old William" and Margaret Queen, born 1759, died 1842, He married Dicey [Laodicia?] Rolls on 2/21/1783. Possible child?, second child, second son: Reuben Queen (b. 1786?NC--ca. 1863TX) 1)Reuben named his first son "Samuel"; second son for father-in-law [Mary Catherine Butler's father:] "Elias Butler Queen". Then, Elias B. Queen named his first son "Samuel", born circa 1843 [a year after his Grandfather ? Samuel died in NC]. Elias in Arkansas, Carroll Co.. 2)Reuben's supposed sister married Sam R. Carson. Our Aunt Lee Queen McGarrey said:"We are kin to Kit [Christopher] Carson.." {Noted trapper and Western trailsman.] 3)Supposed younger brother William B. Queen 1796-1887: Reuben and assumed brother "William Queen" are both in 1840 Arkansas Census: Prairie Township, Carroll Co.--William Queen on page 44; Reuben on page 98 with families. 4)Reuben, having moved (1848) his "stock raising" operation to Williamson Co, TX, relinquishes it to sons Sam & Elias B. in the 1850's and moves to "Lampasas Co."

Wm.L. is Robert Lee Queen's oldest full-brother. [KSM: I consider the naming of Wm and John as a "marker" going back to Elias B's and Reuben's ancestry]. 6) "William Queen", by himself, in Elias B.'s household [1870 or 1880/ census, Williamson Co. TX] [KSM: Was William ill? Obviously, by age, he's the one from ARK. Now, to skip to supposed younger brother of Reuben: Samuel and Dicey Queen's 6th? son -- 7) John R.
