I pursued two of them, whose names suggested they could be relatives of my NC Queens. Here's what I found on their census entries, in York Co., SC, 1860 census: p. 487, 199/199 Name age/Sex Occupation birth other info Queen, Richard 25M hired laborer SC Susan 29F Dom. SC CROW (cannot read or write) Jno. J. 1M SC p. 491, 255/255 Queen, Merritt 63M hired laborer NC Margaret 52F Dom. NC CROW George 18M Asst. Dom. SC Tessina? 12F SC If anyone knows who these men are, and how they relate to the Queens of Rutherford and Cleveland Co., NC, please let me know.

Hope this helps someone, Tamara Vet who heard conversation of Lee, Grant passes Laban Queen, Aged 89, buried today Colorful life of soldier and churchman of Casar ends; member of Tenth Artillery Laban Queen, 89-year-old Confederate veteran who loaded the cannon for the last shot at Appomatox [sic] and who was present for the conversation between Generals Lee and Grant, passed quietly at his home near Casar Monday afternoon and was buried today at the Clover Hill cemetery. (20 Dec 1845 - 2 Sept 1935) Funeral services were conducted at 11 o'clock from the home in which he had lived all his life and interment was at the cemetery of the church of which he had been a member since 1874. He joined Friendship Methodist church at 13 years of age. IN MANY BATTLES: Uncle Labe, as he was called was a member of the Tenth North Carolina Artillery and was in the thickest of the battles of the Civil War, the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, Cold Harbor, Richmond, and closed at Appomattox. Mr. Queen was twice married, first to Miss Catherine Newton, who died many years ago. From this union one daughter, Mrs. Amanda Ivester of Great Falls, SC survives. His second marriage was to Mrs. Mary Crotts Newton, who survives with the following children: Mrs. Doby Ledford of Grady, Ala. Mrs. Lester Self, of Casar; Joe A. Queen, with whom he lived and Scott Queen of the same community. Five children died early in life and Ruffin Queen in 1925. A step-son, John Newton, lives in Casar. _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
