    1. [QUEEN] Gold Mine

    3. Hi group! Haven't had much time lately to do much analysis on my group of QUEENs, but thanks to an extremely nice and generous lady (Hi Diane Carney!), several documents have been posted on the Union County, GA Web page. All are interesting. But,... one in particular brings back visions of my group of Queens and the origins of which, I have suspected, probably in BURKE County, NC. The document posted by Diane consisted of Estate documents for "Jesse TALLANT." Names within the document were: Moses Queen, James C. Queen, & Nathan Jenkins. As you know, Moses is James C's son, while Nathan is James' son-in-law. But, what of this Jesse Tallant (Tallent)? Funny you should ask. On the 1840 BURKE Co. census, Jessey Talent is listed on the same page as one MOSES QUINN. Further, William Tallent is listed next to Moses. There's more! Reubin, Jos., and Aaron Tallent, Jr., were also listed on the same page as the elder Moses Quinn. Jesse Tallent was between 20-30, and wife, same age, no children, on the 1840 census. 1850 census unavail when I checked. 1860 - Union County, GA - HH#041/039, wife Sady, age 45 while Jesse was 52. (Now, we all know that James C. Queen was HH# 054/052, close neighbors with Jesse Tallent.) 1870 - Jessee listed as HH#114, age 61, b. NC. Sada age 52, b. NC. (James C. Queen - 1870 - HH#77, age 67, b. NC Sally, age 62, b. NC) Comment: I personally don't believe all this is just coincidence. James C. Queen (son of Moses Queen, Burke Co.?) was a contemporary of Jessee Tallent in Burke County, NC. Jessee moved to Union County, GA and lived very close to James Queen. Since there appears to have been no children born to Jessee and Sady Tallent, who best to be nominated as executor of his estate than a life long friend from Burke County, James C. Queen? The lineup of the tree seems to be getting clearer. But what of Moses Queen, "possible" father of James C. Queen? Is he the one from Wilkes County, GA? Comments Welcome. Regards, Jerry.
