Okay - how about this 1880 Washington & 1900 George W. have same birth year; 1880 Mary and 1900 Mary close enough for the tax man on age; Jasper in 1880 and Jasper H. in 1900 again close enough for the tax man on age. Also several houses down is William Lewis Queen's (son of Stephen) widow and her sons: William Harvey & Jasper N. Queen The relationship of 'mother' in 1900 - could have been Martha (he's my son), Mary (she's my husband's mother) or even Jasper (she's my grandmother) answering the questions of the census taker! 1880 Federal Census - Union Co, GA - Dooley, ED 77, Dwelling No. 18 - Washington Queen, age 30, born TN (father born NC, mother born TN); Mary E., age 29, born TN (parents born TN); John, age 12, born NC; William, age 9, born GA; Jasper, age 4, born GA; Mary E., age 2, born GA; Sallie, age 1/12 born GA, in month of May 1880 Federal Census - Union Co, GA - Page 102C - Joshua Christopher, age 50, born GA (parents born GA); Lucinda, age 45, born GA (parents born SC); Mary A., age 30, born GA; Nancy, age 28, born GA; Henry C., age 16, born GA; Alfred, age 13, born GA; Manuel, age 9, born GA; George, age 6, born GA; William H.

I'm on your ship thru 1870. Washington age 7 and his mother, Sarah/Sallie. Washington now age 17 and old enough to know that his mother's name was Sarah/Sallie. I'll buy a remarriage for Stephen in 1880 to a wife Martha. But, I'm having terrible difficulty with the 1900 Cherokee for George W. Queen = Washington Queen??? Mother, Martha E. Queen, living with him? Ah?? Does he mean step-mother? Gene
