Hi, I am one of those that just listen in and rarely says anything. Mandy Queen says to check in and tell who we are. I am Lee L. My mother Nannie Mae Queen came to Missouri from Haywood County, NC in 1902, when she was 16 years of age along with her entire family. Her parents were William Nathan Queen, b. 1881 and Mary Lucinda Burnett, b. 1866, both born near Pigeon River in Haywood County. The father of William Nathan Queen was Nathan or Nathaniel S. Queen, b.1826 and Martha Jane Rhodes, b 1829. Both are believed to have been born in Haywood County as it was constituted in the years before 1850, which then included what is now Jackson County. Nathan S. Queen was one of the Confederate soldiers that were surrendered at Cumberland Gap during the Civil War, and sent to Camp Douglas as a POW. He was in such poor condition that he did not survive the trip home. He did manage to get almost home to his native Haywood County, NC, making it to Greene County, TN, just across the border, when he became too sick and his friends had to leave him there. Martha Jane got there after he had died. (As a POW during World War II, I have been particularly interested in this story). I do not know for sure who the father of Nathan S. might be, but have my beliefs. I would appreciate anyone reading this if they would make any comments for or against. Since some one said they wanted to try to tie all the Haywood County Queens together, maybe this information will help. Maybe I will obtain some good information in the process. Nathan S. Queen, b. 1826, was the bondsman for Robert Henry Queen, b. 1832, when he married Nancy Franklin in 1853, in Haywood Co. This would strongly suggest that they were probably brothers. Where would two brothers fit into a Queen family. The only place I can find that seems to fit and be logical is as sons of William B. Queen, b. 1796 and Mary Nicholson, b. about 1797. This would give us: William B. Queen, md. to Mary Nicholson Lucinda Queen, b. 1818 Known Americus H. Queen, b. 1820 Known Nathan S. Queen, b. 1826 (????) Rev. Benjamin Nicholson Queen, b.1831 Known Robert Henry Queen, b. 1832 (????) Dicey Queen, b.1834 Known Hannah Queen, b. 1837 Known It appears to me that Nathan S. and Robert Henry Queen may have moved over the mountain into the area that remained in Haywood when Jackson County was formed, and thus few records that would be available to confirm this. Does anyone know anything that might indicate this is incorrect, or hopefully that would confirm it? Thanks, Lee L.

Lee, God Bless You, and thank you for your service to our country.
