Greetings all, I have been advised that there is, indeed, an old stone that is inscribed "James C. Queen born 1805 and died 1885...also on the stone it reads James Father of Moses". This link of Moses J. Queen back to James C. Queen certainly appears to be "cast in stone". Now if we can just find the proof from James C. to "old Moses". Work is progressing to obtain YDNA samples to "push" the 18 mutation as far up this tree as possible. Rolla failed to convince me earlier that the 18s on the one "Reuben" sample and the one "old Moses" sample could realistically be anything but a random mutation. But, after pondering the possibilities, it seems that we should try harder with YDNA on these 18s. Rolla may very well be right on the money. So, I'm trying to shake the bushes without coming across as offensive or challenging - difficult task for me. Apologies are certainly offered as I screw up in the search for answers.
