Hi Rita, Jerry and all, I received the following information from Missi Croker who posted to QUEEN-L back in March regarding John Queen and Catherine Lowery. (Missi, I hope you don't mind my reprinting your info here!). Don't know how this all connects, but hopefully something will click for someone. John and Catherine later had a son whose name has been transcribed on the Union County Website census as Buckhead. However, Missi and I question if this should read "Bankhead", and is in fact Missi's ancestor "Banks" Queen mentioned below. I added the info within brackets [ ] for clarification.

I tend to believe, due to the connections that I know of these families, that they were all next door neighbors. The Nancy listed above, if I recall correctly her maiden name was York, but she was the widow of Henson Queen, who I think was the son of the Henson and Zilpha listed here (its been awhile since I've looked at my records, but I'm pretty sure this is correct). Anyway, her son, Jonas, married Rachel Louisa "Lou" Martin... Lou's sister, Mary "Mollie" Martin, married my "Banks" Queen, in 1881 in Cherokee Co NC.
