    3. Hi group, Another message in the series regarding James C. Queen and his origins. Remember that James C. migrated from Burke County c. 1842 to Union Coiunty, GA. He was listed there in 1850 as age Found in the 1850 Burke County, NC census: p. 352, HH#263: Jesse Tallent, 44, farmer, b. NC Sada 37 " HH#264: Reubin Tallent, 56, farmer, b. NC Lydia 50, b. VA Aaron 21, b. NC Jesse 15, " HH#265: Solomon Queen, 46, farmer, NC Sophronia, 30, b. NC Moses, 10, NC Solomon, 6, NC Tobias, 2, NC FYI: Gene posted data on Solomon Queen last year when I didn't have the time to delve into the search. His analysis hinted at the possibility Solomon was a son of "Moses" Queen (Quinn), Burke Co. Both Solomon and James C. Queen named their first son 'Moses." Coincidence? Found in the "Burke County Heritage" book published by the Burke County NC Historical Society in 1981- p480, article 774, the following data: Solomon Queen married Sophronia York, dau. of William R. York and Catherine Smith (York's second marriage). York had mograted to Burke Co. from Randolph Co. NC. Solomon and Sophronia are buried in a small plot adross from the Mt. Gilead Church. unquote. My question remains - Does anyone have any data/info/guesses on the Moses Queen, born apparently in Wilkes County, GA between 1770 and 1780? Could he have possibly migrated into NC in the late 1790's? Can anyone refute this hypothesis? All comments welcome. Regards. Jerry
