Well, I haven't posted my family in a while anyway so if you can solve my TN Queen msytery, I might just kiss your feet! LOL :) That is my big question, how did my ancestor get to TN, from whence he came?, etc............. This is what I know about this John Queen (here we go w/the Johns!) If (Carol &) I follow James Campbell Queen back as far as we can, we (& a pd researcher) seem to think that John Queen and Mary Campbell who married in Maury Co, TN in 1816 are the parents of James C. Queen. This is what I found as far back and followed to and ending trail: 1810 where are they? 1812 Maury Co TN John Queen Enlisted in the War of 1812, TN Vol Mtd Gunman, Col RH Dyer, Pvt: Capt James McMahan. May 1814 Maury Co TN Co Court Records: John Quinn appointed a hand to John Edmondson to oversee Rock Creek Rd fr Fountain Creek to Josh Glovers. 4-30-1816 Maury Co TN John Queen married Mary "Polly" Campbell 1816 Lincoln Co, TN Queen, John land grant, 15 acres, G dist 1820 Franklin Co., TN Jno Queen: 3 m-10, 1m 10-16, 1m 16-26, 1m 45+; 2f -10, 3f 10-26, 2f 16-26, 1f 45+ 1830 where are they? 1840 where are they? 1847 records show James C. Queen in Wayne Co., TN 1850 AR? (son states on several census that he was b. in AR this yr) 1860 Wayne Co., TN census now that's it! This John does not look like a newlywed in 1820. He and Mary couldn't have had all those kids from 1816-1820. It looks like he might be living w/his parents or something? who are all those folks? Followed the Thomas Queen family around for a while thinking this may be him, but never came to any great conclusions. Like I said Gene, You figure that out, I may kiss your feet! :) Mandy Descendants of John Queen 1 John Queen b: abt. 1794? .+Mary "Polly" Campbell b: Abt. 1798 KY?
