Hey Rita, There appears to be a fire going here--I'm trying to think creatively--perhaps we could find some answers to at least one of your questions--BY ADVERTISING. Now, wait a minute: my best guess is "Nancy Queen's two daughters" in the 1860 census. 1.The girls may have kept a better record of "what-happened -to-Hence?" then their brothers did. 2. Find who each girl married--between 1870 and 1880?--if possible. 3. Write up your story, giving the girl's married names [also tell what happend to Mrs. Nancy Queen-was she near her relatives?]. Make it short. 4. Ask questions--a. "what-happened-to-Hence?"; Where are the girls? What happened to Nancy? Was Hence a miner? etc. Then the biggy: "Is there a Family Bible with dates?" WRITE A SHORT STATEMENT INTO A QUERY that we can broadcast. 5. Then I suggest posting a query with: a) Genealogy Society of Old Tryon County, 102 W. Main, Forest City, NC 28043; Or call, 828-247-8700; and ask where it would be best for you to advertise. b) Send query to any local historical society, whether or not they publish; or advertise in an important local newspaper. c. Then I suggest Queen-L DNA-ers get together and advertise in local newspapers, Remembering to collect any and all Queens replying so that we can try to get them into DNA. [That's sort of my job--I just need leads-KSM] I'll put up the first $30 to advertise to find: 1) DNA prospects, or 2) Any connection to Hence of 1823 GA.
