Hi, Charlton. Are you up with Jackson? Has he grown? I have news. James Davis Queen has sent a story about his grandfather who lost his job [1929] at the Tennessee Copper Co. [Copper Hill TN]. He disappeared leavng his wife and 12 children in TN and made his way to "East Texas" and worked in the oil fields-big money. A year later he returned home to the farm [Polk Co. TN]. I thought of you and your story that Robert Newton Queen moved from Copper Hill to Navarro Co TX before 1910. I got into my Texas Almanac, here's what I found: The first of the Texas oilfields was the one in Corsicana, Navarro County---1894. The field is still pumping. [ Spindletop, the big field east of Houston was discovered in 1901.] There's a tall chance James D.'s grandfather was in that area--his name was Davis Graham Queen, born 1880. [Of course, he was only in the oilfields circa 1929-1930, then back to TN.] Could he and Robert Newton Queen have been kin? If I remember correctly, Robert Newton had lived in the Copper Hill TN before going to Texas. Anyway--contact James D. and ask some questions: --> [email protected] Katy [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charlton Queen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 9:37 PM Subject: [QUEEN] Jackson Queen pic > Hey Everyone, > > The link for Jackson's hospital photo is: > > http://www.clarkregional.org/nursery/default.asp?p=view&a=Q&i=1415 > > > Charlton > aka "Proud Papa" > > > ==== QUEEN Mailing List ==== > RootsWeb Threaded Mailing List archives > http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ > QUEEN YDNA PROJECT > http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=X96855&special=True > http://www.ysearch.org/ > > ============================== > Jumpstart your genealogy with OneWorldTree.

Katy/Charlton: Copperhill TN was mentioned by my father when he shared his family stories. "They" visited family in Copperhill, but he was too young to know the relationship. Copperhill isn't far from Murphy or Hayesville NC--just across the border. I've been there, and tried unsuccessfully to contact the owners of the Queen Furniture company in "downtown" Copperhill. Rita
