    2. O Eugene Queen
    3. Hi all, First, a world of thanks to Reiley Kidd who posted data some months ago concerning the land grant to Alfred Queen in Haywood County. (Sometime earlier I had found the sale from Alfred; but had not located the info concerning Alfred's acquiring the land.) Reiley's post eventually prompted me to contact the state office...and did the mailman bring some good news today! Perhaps the Samuel Queen of Ga folks as well as the James H. Queen of 1808 folks will wish to take note of this for more circumstantial evidence. State of North Carolina Haywood County By virtue of a warrant of no. 220 & Entered 16th December A D 1833. I have Surveyed a Tract of Land for Alfred Queen on the waters of Scotts Creek beginning on or near the Line of a Tract of Land known by the Woodfin Place Beginning on a Chesnut Tree & Runs north Sixty four poles to a Stake thence west one hundred & twenty Eight poles to a stake thence South Sixty four poles to a Stake thence to the beginning Containing fifty acres Surveyed August 11th AD 1834. Elihu Chambers Cl (?) Wm Queen & James Queen C B (OEQ: Chain Bearers?) ...............Another document refers to Elijah Deaver as the "Entry officer of Claims for lands in the County". It further defines the land as "Beginning on or near the line of a tract of land known by the woodfin place running up a small Branch on Boath Sides for Compliment". These documents, combined with other circumstantial evidence, seem to shore up the argument that Samuel Queen (b. ca 1776-1780) and located in Haywood County near Cullowhee in 1820 and 1830 was the same Samuel Queen who went to Georgia. I further suggest the following as children of this Samuel: William Queen (b. 1800-1803) w/son, Samuel Patton, born in Macon in 1833 James H Queen (b. 1808) md. Isabella (and named a son Samuel Houston). James lived in the Cullowhee area of Macon Co. in 1830. Alfred Queen (b. 1810) and named a son James Henry. Hugh Queen (b. 1811-1820) Daughter (can't find her name at moment, Mary or Margaret) m. Wm B. Morgan And, is there a clue here: James H. Queen of 1808 named his first daughter, Martha Jane Alfred Queen of 1810 named his first daughter, Martha Jane and his first son, James Henry. Hugh Queen of 1811-1820 named his first daughter, Martha J ........so, I'm suggesting the name of Martha Jane as a possible first wife of this Samuel Queen. Is there a Georgia marriage record of Samuel Queen (age 60-70) marrying a Nancy between 1840-1850 in Habersham or Rabun Co? .......I'm also suggesting the name of Martha Jane as a possible sister to these boys. Anyone wish to pursue any of this? Gene
