Didn't put a source unfortunately, so not sure it's correct. I know that Olive was a popular name in our Queen line. Old William had a daughter named Olive but she was probably born well before 1789. And Joseph H. Queen, had a daughter, Olive Vine Queen, b. 1816 who married Daniel Colley. And Joseph H. married a sister to Edward Jones, Ursula Jones. Maizie Queen Young told me that there were so many Jones families in that area, she could never sort any of them out. Sorry, I didn't even come close to answering either of your questions.
