Katy, I knew you would get right to work on this new info. However, you are confusing these two people. Sallie C. Queen was maried to John M. Queen while Adeline Queen was the wife of J. M. "Jerry" Queen. Sallie appears to be the wife of John Montraville Queen, Sr. the birth date I have for her is 07 Jun 1830, therefore her stated age of 83 in 1913 matches that on her application for pension. Furthermore, she refers to her late husband as John M. Queen, Sr. and her residence in Waynesville (Haywood County) NC is consistent with my existing file and the area where John M. Queen, Sr's CSA unit was formed. Unfortunately, I have not yet found anyone in my files whose info matches that of Adeline and Jerry Queen. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Katy McMillen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2005 8:19 PM Subject: [QUEEN] Concerning Sallie C./and Jerry (J.M.)

RE:...................... > Unfortunately, I have not yet found anyone in my files whose info matches > that of Adeline and Jerry Queen.> I have a Jeremiah M. Queen b. abt 1854 (per 1900/1910/1920 census) with wife Polly/Adeline Chapman b. April 20,1863 and died August 5,1937 buried in Friendship Methodist Cemetery, Cleveland Co., NC. In 1910 also living in the household was the mother in law Sarah Chapman. They lived next door to John Queen 26, wife Grover 28, daughter Georgie 3. I belive this was an older son of Jerry & Adeline.
