I have this marriage bond information on my gg grandfather. This is the son of William Queen who married Mira or Myrum Wilkerson. I believe the elder William (born about 1804) is the one who witnessed the marriage of James Queen and Ely Bryson. Bride: Lucindy Rucker Groom: Willliam Queen Bond Date: 06 Dec 1860 County: McDowell Record #: 01 036 Witness: A. M. Finley (Clerk) Bond #: 000079756 Marriage Date: 06 Dec 1860 Performed By: J. W. Bright, Justice of the Peace Any confirmations will be greeted with a big wet kiss. --Phil Minch--
Kissing is simply out of the question, unless Phil is short for Phyllis. These two Williams appear to be new ones on me. Of course, I haven't done any McDowell County research. I don't want to erroneously read too much into your post; so, please confirm: William Queen (b. ca 1804) m. Mira or Myrum Wilkerson son: William Queen m Lucindy Rucker on 12-6-1860 in McDowell County What can you tell us about the William Queen of 1804? County of birth and/or later residence? County/date of marriage to Mira/Myrum? Would I be in trouble if I guessed that Wm of 1804 was in McDowell County in 1860 at the time of marriage of son, William? Any known children of this Wm of 1804 other than son, William? Thanks for any clues. Gene Philip Minch wrote: > > I have this marriage bond information on my gg grandfather.
