The marriage record of a Moses Queen to Jane Weedon is a double mistake. Without going into great detail, let me just say that the actual record is the marriage bond between MEREDITH Queen and Jane NEWTON, dated Feb. 16, 1797 in Rutherford Co., NC. I believe that some earlier researcher wrote down M. Queen, and then later assumed it was Moses, when in fact the original clearly states Meredith. And the handwriting of the clerk makes Jane's surname LOOK like Weedon. But so does his listing of the bondsman's name, Benjamin "Weedon." But the bondsman signed the bond himself at the bottom, and his name clearly reads Benjamin NEWTON. Thus Jane was Jane Newton, the oldest daughter of Benjamin. The NC State archives has this bond incorrectly indexed as Queen-Weedon, and when I pointed out this error to them last year, they assured me that future indices will show it as Meredith Queen and Jane NEWTON. I will provide a photocopy of the entire original document to anyone who wants one.
