Hi All, I have beaten the same bushes over and over again for the last 15 years. Maybe someone else can use a new stick to beat them differently. Here is the skinny. James Campbell Queen was born 1819..and that is a fact that holds in every census. But, the census is the problem. The first time I find James is in the 1860 census, married to his second wife, Lucinda. So, why can't I find him in 1850 with his first wife Priscilla?????? I have tried to search the census records using every trick I know to find a match for him and his family. And, unless they have him listed under a different name.. he is not in the 1850 census. Here is the data I have to locate him... I'd give a million to find him in 1850. here is an interesting point... his son Thomas Jake Queen was born in 1850 and the census says consistently in Arkansas. All other children born in TN, so why'd he go to Arkansas that one darn year I want to find him. Who'd he go visit. Why didn't he stay??????? Thanks Carol James Campbell Queen... usually listed in the census as James C. Queen b. 1819 in Tenn. His father born in NC. His mother born in KY.
