    3. Hi to all, I know some of you have been on this line longer than I and wondered if anyone has already put this on. Anyway, here goes. This is from the Tevolutationary Record for William Queen. April 20, 1932 William L. Queen S.9462 Mr.J.H. Quinn Shelby, North Carolina Dear Sir: Reference is mad to your letter relative to one William L. Quinn, a Revolutionary War soldier who you stated was a pensioner of North Carolina. A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no claim for pension found, based on the service of William L. Quinn. The record of one William L. Queen has been found, who was a pensioner in North Carolina and his record is given below. The data herein was obtained from the papers on file in pension claim S. 9462, based upon the Revolutionary War service of William L. Queen. He was born in 1749 in Virginia, the county not given. It is stated that while a residence of Wilkes County, Georgia, he listed in the year 1777 and served as private in the companies of Captians Jasmes Buoy, John Stewart, Jr. John Dooley, George Daly, James McFarland Anthony Walton Hughes and in the Georgia Regiments of Colonals Stewart and Elijah Clark and in the 1st Georgia Regiment was in two battles in Augusta, Georgia, was wounded in the first battle in 1777, also that he was taken prisoner by the Tories and held about 5 days in 1778 and that he was captured about the last of 1778 and held prisoner in Ninety-Six for about seventy-two days, then released and returned hime, that his services ended sometime in 1782, the entire length of which was about three years. After the Revolution, he lived in Rutherford County, North Carolina, and in 1824 he was living there with his son, but did not give his name; he later moved to Burke County, North Carolina, thence to Macon County, North Carolina. He was allowed pension on his application executed October 8, 1832, then a resident of Macon County. Upon a reexamination of his claim, it was found that proof of service was not sufficient and his pension was suspended in 1835 for additional proof of his service and he was requested to file another declaration for pension which he never did. His son, Joseph H. Queen, was living in Habersham County, Georgia in 1856. Soldier had other children, but their names and the name of his wife was not guiven, Soldier's brother Samuel Queen was living in Macon County, North Carolina in 1833, aged seventy-three years, One Hinson or Hency Queen was referred to in Rutherford County, North Carolina in 1835, no relationship to soldier shown. Very truly yours A. D. Hiller Assistant to Administrator Hope this helps someone.
