    3. Hello List: I have just received information from Clyde Brown, with permission to post to the List. Clyde Brown is descended from Felix Brackett of Habersham Co, GA. Felix's wife Sena/Asythinia/Cynthia is said to be a Queen as told to him by his Grandmother. Clyde recently made a trip to Habersham Co, GA, and found loads of wonderful information from deeds/marriage certificates, etc. Clyde found recorded in land transcations the names of Felix Brackett's dauhter, Elizabeth Brackett and husband Meriday/Merady Queen's(son of James C. Queen). We are curious to know who Sena/Cythia/Asthinia's parents are. We know there were Queens in the area but don't know how they connect to Sena/Cyth./Asyth., or if there was a connection to Merady Queen's line. Clyde said that the census records show Sena and Felix's to be born in NC. We know Felix moved from area of Rutherford Co, NC to GA. Clyde has marriage certificates of all Felix's children except for two. He has copies of Meraday's and Elizabeth. He is loading all his information into an excel spreadsheet. Oh, Clyde does have the names of the children of Felix and Sena Queen Brackett if anyone is curious to the naming pattern: Child # 1. Lucy Jane married Gabriel Sisk on 9 February 1851. References: Marriage Book B, page 80. Deed Book K, page 188. Child # 2. Nancy married Benjamin F. Dooley on 27 August 1852. References: Marriage Book B, page 98. Deed Book S, page 335 and 336. Deed Book K, page 167. Child # 3. Mary married William S. Sisk on 21 September 1852. Reference: Marriage Book B, page 98. No land deed. Child # 4. Elizabeth married Marida Queen on 29 July 1864. Moved to Union County. References: Marriage Book B, page 222. Deed Book K, page 166. Child # 5. Louisa first married John Wilbanks, then Clayborn Rothell. References: Marriage Book B, page ?. Deed Book K, page 162. No second marriage license. Clayborn did not sign the deed, as did the other husbands. Child # 6. William M.. References: Deed Book K, page 168. Deed Book U, page 367. A William M. Brackett married Katherine Eveline Sewell in Franklin County and moved to TN. It is strongly suggested that these are the same William M. Child # 7. Matilda apparently never married. No marriage license has been found. She appears in the 1880 Federal Census in Sena’s household and 2 small children. No reference to a marriage in the land deed she executed as there was in the deed Louisa executed. Reference: Deed Book K, page 163. Child # 8. Elvira married William P. Wilbanks. References: Deed Book K, page 164. Marriage license I have it somewhere. Child # 9. Alvin. There is only one reference to him and that is the 1860 Federal Census. He may have died young. Child # 10. Asinthia Josephine married Jeremiah Gilbert Westmoreland on 24 February 1869. They moved first to TN then to Nevada County, Arkansas. References: Marriage Book B, page 291. Deed Book K, pages 186 and 187. Child # 11. Felix Benton married Margaret Thacker on 15 October 1871. References: Marriage Book B, page 329. Deed Book K, page 162. We owe Clyde a big thanks. Clyde and I would appreciate any comments. I still don't know how my Mary/Polly Queen and husband,Thomas Brackett fit into all this.
