Rita, Answer to your question about checking email - I check several times a day! Seems everyone is busy doing research :>) Find it interesting that Hence Queen was in Cherokee County, NC in the 1860 census, along with (would you believe?), John Queen and William Queen, brothers in the James C. Queen family of Union County, GA. Believe Hence was noted in Burke County at one time... is that correct? Or did my memory suddenly go blank? Burke County is my area of concentration currently. Regards, Jerry.
