Okay, so I'm slow at times. The YDNA of (maybe) John Queen of 1774 Montgomery (formerly Anson Co.) doesn't support William as his pa or grandpa at the 12 marker level. Could it be that we have stumbled upon a genetic linkage to old John Queen of Anson County? Was Henson of 1742 really a son of old William - or was he a son of old John Queen/MacQueen? Old William Queen was in VA at the birth of his son, William Lewis Queen, Sr. in 1749. We don't know the year in which William arrived in Anson County, N.C.; but it wasn't early enough to stake a claim as being the first Queen in Anson County. Gene, forget old William; flush him out of your mind. Forget him - as it relates to early Queen activity in Anson County. William was a VA guy. There was a John Queen in Anson County by 1754 who had already completed some land improvements. "Philbeck, "William Queen 1716-1801," 134. Anson County Land Entry, 14 December 1754, William Queen enters 100 acres beginning at the mouth of half mile branch that empties itself into Little River including John Queen's improvements." So, before 1754 there was a 21 year or older John Queen who had already been cuttin' trees and burning brush in Anson County. Little William Lewis Queen, Sr was only 5 yrs old at the time and had come down with his pa from VA. Wonder the names of the young sons who heped older John Queen? Wonder if one of those sons was named Henson? Anyone have proof of the pa of Henson of 1742? Documented, circumstantial or otherwise? Thanks, Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "O.
