Hi Group, The Tallent (Talent, Tallant, etc.) family of Burke must have been close with some neighbors, for example the Queen group. In chasing down my Queen twig, a Jesse Tallent and his wife (Burke County) were living in Union County, GA from at least 1860. Traced their census records back and this couple never (rpt: never) had any children. This particular Jesse Tallent was a Neighbor of my James C. Queen and obvious friend of James's son - Moses Queen of Union County. James C. and Moses, along with James's son-in-law, Nathan Jenkins, were Admins of Jesse Tallent's estate in 1875 in Union Co., GA. (See Wills section on Union Co.Web site). The following is only a partial listing of page 76 of the Burke County, NC census for 1840: Tallent, Reubin-Proper, Josiah A.- Shoup, Gabriel- Bradshaw, Josiah- Pruit, Spencer- Craig, Aaron-Tallent, Jessey (s. of Ann?)- Johnson, Jos.- Johnson, Ann- Tallent, William- Quinn, Moses-Wats, William- Sisk, Martin- Sisk, Henry- Butler, Hugh- Tallent, Jos (s. of Rich.)- Wats, John- Smith, Wesley- Chapman, Mic? Jr.- Tallent, Aaron, Jr. (These names copied as written) Item- Jesse Tallent #041/039 - 1860 - Union Co, GA, age 52, wife Sada, age 45, both born in NC. (James C. Queen in same neighborhood) In answer to the question - Who is Jesse Tallent? Definitely not this one since the other activity occurred in the 1870's. My Point to this is the following: For those looking for connections for their QUEEN ancestors and haven't found them in other NC counties, Try checking out Burke! Believe the above 'Moses Quinn' to be Moses Queen (b. c.1781) and just possibly the son of William Lewis Queen, Sr. BTW: Have not heard from anyone on the wife of Moses Queen/1781, ie., Sadie Brown. Anyone have anything on that marriage? Regards, Jerry
