Here are a couple of additional items I uncovered: A document attached to a family history record - never explains how the author determined the 'Uncle' relationship. . By deed dated April 8, 1833, Hence Queen purchased from Andrew Cathey a tract of land located in the north or lower end of Macon County on the Little Tennessee River. This deed was witnessed by John W. Queen. Then by deed dated January 17, 1854, Uncle Hense sold the tract to John W. Queen. In the meantime, John W. Queen had in 1842 purchased additional lands from Joseph Clements And these Census Records - Could either of these be the Henson "Henderson"?: 1880 Federal Census - Habersham Co, GA - Clarkesville, Page 614D - Gabriel Sisk, age 51, born GA (parents born SC); Louisa J., age 48, born NC (parents born NC); John C., age 20, born GA; Lula J., age 12, born GA; Nancy E. age 10, born GA; Emma P., age 8,born GA; Harman L., age 4, born GA; Hempson Queen (uncle), age 74, born NC (Parents born VA) - Neighbors were Sarah Hames and William Harris 1880 Federal Census - McMinn Co, TN - District 6, Page 370A - Francis Locke, age 40, born NC (parents born NC); Martha, age 39, born NC (parents born NC); Haseltine, age 13, born NC; James, age 11, born NC; Frank, age 10 months, born NC; Henson Queen (father-in-law), age 79, born NC (parents born NC) - Neighbors were William Cochran and William Bovine -----Original Message----- From: queen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:queen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of O. Eugene Queen Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 6:30 PM To: QResearchers Subject: [QUEEN] 1842 Macon Land to John W. Queen Jr. On March 1, 1838 a "Hency Queen" assignee of an Alford Brown was granted 53 3/4 acres of land on the Tennessee River in Macon County. (State Grants Register Book B, Pg 658 Macon County). August 18, 1843 "Henson" Queen granted 78 1/2 acres of land on the Tennessee River in Macon County. (Book E, Pg 112 Macon County) On Januray 17, 18__ "Hency" Queen sold a John W. Queen 78 1/2 acres of Macon County land on the Tennessee River. (DB. G, Pg 609 Macon) On January 17, 1854 "Henson" Queen sold 53 3/4 acres of Macon County, NC land to a John W. Queen. Witnesses were B. DOWNS and M.C.K. DOWNS. This land was on the Tennessee River. The beginning of the recorded transaction reads "I Henderson Queen....". The signature is "Henson Queen". (DB G, Pg 608-609 Macon County) On November 17, 1842 Joseph Clemments sold two tracts of Macon County, NC land to a John W. Queen Jr. Witnesses were Alfred HALL and Ruby Martin. These tracts containing a total of 179 3/4 acres were on the Tennessee River. (DB E, Pg 126 Macon County) ........................... Per census records, we believe that a Henson Queen (age 40-50) was in Haywood County, NC in 1830. We also believe that in 1840 a Henson Queen (age 50-60) was in Rabun County, GA. These land transactions appear to have been too early to have involved "Hence" Queen b. ca 1823. Do we believe the transactions to have been of Henson Queen, son of Samuel Queen of 1759? Did Henson return from Rabun County, GA in 1854 to sell the land he had been granted in 1838? Did he even come back to Macon by 1843 to obtain another grant of 78 1/2 acres? Wondering.

Regarding the "Uncle" relationship. Clearly the author was not writing of his father's brother. Old Henson Queen was not a brother to Harmon Reed Queen. >From my files: Harmon Reed Queen was the son of Rev. Benjamin Nicholson Queen and the grandson of William B. Queen. He was born on April 10, 1869 and married Sarah Rebecca Franks (b. 12-12-1875) on September 25, 1892 at Hamburg Township, NC by MG J. L. Owen. He is the H. R. Queen of Argura who was chairman of the board of county commissioners of Jackson County in 1910) (Ref: N. C. Yearbook and Business Directory) Harmon Reed and Sarah were the parents of four children: CHRIS, Willie, Thomas and Sadie as detailed later. Sarah died on February 5, 1934 and Reed died on April 21, 1948. Both are buried in the Hamburg Cemetery in Jackson County. Chris is reportedly the author of the "Memorandum RE: The Samuel Queen Branch of the Queen Family" which is five pages of data detailing the history of this family. The memorandum is dated October 1962, Sylva, N. C. and was reportedly typed by Chris on an old manual typewriter to give to family members. Maisie Queen Young of Bryson City (1998) reports that Chris had lived away from N. C. for years and that years after he retired and after the death of his father, Chris returned to N. C. and wrote these papers. Chris is also said to have prepared a three page history of the Sols Creek Baptist Church; however, he gives credit to Sadie Arrington Melton "who wrote these notes", suggesting that he may have obtained at least some of the data from her and merely typed them. (There is also a question concerning the date of April 2, 1972 which appears at the top of the first page of the history. Chris had died in 1970.) Sadie, Chris and William are buried in the Fairview Memorial Gardens in Jackson County. Maisie Queen Young of Bryson City (1998) shared some of her memories and recollections of this family: "Sadie Queen, called "Dot" by the family, was a jewel, a wonderful friend. She was a beautician and had her own shop on Mill St. with two beauticians who worked for her during the 1940's. When the post office moved, she moved her shop to that building which her dad owned. It seemed to me that her life was one of sacrifice and service. I loved her dearly." "Chris Queen, Sr. was near the same age as my dad. I stayed with he and my mom from late 1970 until his death in July 1970. Chris had come back to Jackson County, possibly in the early 1960's after he retired...they had lived away for years."
