Hi all, I understand that it is permissible to have more than one "conversation" going at the time on this list. I do hope that the recent exchanges of info will continue. It's great to see "new" members active. It is appreciated. Alfred Queen.....within the past week I received some info regarding an Alfred J. Queen who had "my" Alfred's kids. The kind lady asked if I wished her to correct the data and I suggested not at my request. I also know that the Alfred J. has had "my" Alfred's kids in some other databases. Been researching this a bit and here's the scoop: Alfred Queen (b. ca 1810) was in Cocke Co., TN in 1840 with folks in the household not yet identified (and perhaps never will be). Also in Cocke Co., TN in 1850 with wife (or new wife) Mary (age 24) and children: James H. Queen, age 2 and Martha, age 7/12. He returned to NC in 1851 or 52 and by 1860 was in Jackson County with children (partial list): Martha, Joseph, John, Arta (age 12). Alfred Queen-age 35....different man...was on Burke Co., NC census pg 399 family 934 in 1850 (while my Alfred was in TN) with wife, Martha-age35 and children: Mary-11, Lilly-9, James-7, John-6 and Sarah-3. So, I am prepared to state that these are two different Alfreds. Other clues concerning this Alfred of Burke. Per Reiley's database, Burke marriage bond on 2-7-1839 for Alfred J. Queen and Martha E. H. Jeffreys. 1840 Rutherford census pg 305 includes an Alfred Quean age 20-29 with female same age range and another female <5. Again, this fits the profile of Alfred of Burke. Anyone who has these children improperly matched with Alfreds may wish to consider the above evidence and make corrections as needed. Gene
