Gene, I would LOVE to see the documentation that Isaac was the son of George Queen "and his wife Betsy." The marriage bond for George and Betsy reads George Queen to "Mrs. Betsy Queen" in 1818. I strongly suspect that this is MY George Queen, since I've been able to account for every OTHER mention of George Queen (thus there's no evidence of another contemporaneous George Queen). I could be wrong on this, but if so, this George and Betsy drop completely from sight. My hunch and hypothesis right now is that this George is the one I'm tracing. If so, Betsy died very soon and without children AFTER she married George, because my George next married Nancy Newton Goins, widow of Daniel Goins before 1823, because their eldest son Meredith/Maraday was b. 7/11/1823. Analysis of census entries for George in 1830 and 1840 indicate that Nancy's two children by Daniel Goins were in their household in 1830, but not in 1840. This STILL leaves the possibility that Isaac was the son of the Queen man that Betsy married first, and who died, leaving her "Mrs. Betsy Queen" for her marriage in 1818 to George. I will welcome someone's proof that Isaac was Betsy's child by EITHER husband, and hope it will be forthcoming. Until then, it's just a speculation, like mine above, and shouldn't be accepted as fact.
