[ Phil Minch Queen-L 11/19/04: wanted to know if William Allen Queen b. 1804-died before 1880 was a brother of Pleasant Queen?] A). I believe Terri Harrison found a document requesting a Power of Attorney from ? [she thought it was from North Carolina] in the names of all children except John. I don't have that copied. B). Linda Menikos says Terri's old e-mail address doesn't work and LM doesn't have another. C). I have two sheets of "Geeslin" genealogy lost in storage. Apparently Ruth Ella Queen, daughter of William J. Queen, married Geeslin. Her son? Mark Allen Geeslin gave this record to a Queen relative of ours in Waco TX [who had no idea who these people were]-she then gave us the record.
