Vicki Shaffer has been nice enough to post lots of research on the Queen List, and that's great! This sort of activity keeps the list active and vital. The recent posting of the article of Maisie Queen Young (duplicated below) contains a mistake that I've been trying to trace and eliminate. As many long-time members of the list know, the marriage bond between William Lewis Queen, Sr.'s son, Meredith Queen and Jane NEWTON is mis-classified in the NC State Archives, because the clerk's handwriting makes her name look like WEDEN. But the surety of the marriage bond was Benjamin NEWTON (Jane's father). In the text of the bond (written by the clerk), Benjamin's surname looks like Weden, too. But Benjamin signed the bond himself, and his name was clearly Newton there. So Jane was a Newton, not a Weden. And Jane married Meredith, not Moses. I'm happy to send photocopies of the marriage bond to anyone who's interested. Just send a SASE to me at the address below. I don't know if WL Sr. had a son named Moses, or have any other information on him. I believe that WL's pension application names a Moses somehow, and that is why he's listed among WL's children. Can anyone on the list add more about Moses? By the way, if someone has evidence that a Moses Queen in this era married a Jane Newton, I'd be delighted to see it. All I want is accurate information, and Lord knows, there are mistakes in my work. So I want to root them out, if they are there. Here's Vicki''s posting, in part: Thought I'd post this for anyone who might not have seen it. Vicki =========================================================== An Article written by Maisie Queen Young of North Carolina William Lewis Queen, born in 1749 in Virginia, my third great-grandfather, was living in North Carolina by 1753, where he grew up. His name is mentioned on a number of land surveys. He was living in Georgia by 1773 and probably married Margaret, (?)his wile, in that state. He enlisted and served with the Georgia Rangers on the Continental Line dur-ing the American Revolutionary War. His pension file S9462, National Archives, gives details of his services. He was wounded once, taken prisoner twice by the Tories, held for 72 days at Ninety Six, South Carolina: mentions some of the battles and long marches in and out of Georgia and South Carolina. His services ended in 1782. After the war he moved to Rutherford County. North Carolina where he lived for many years. He owned a great deal of land in Rutherford County, some of which was inherited from his father, William, who gave him power of attorney in 1793. In 1824, when he was 75 years old, he applied for a pension in Rutherford County. It appears that his wife died before 1828, when he and most of his family migrated to Haywood County. On the 1830 census, he was living with his son, Joseph, and in 1832, he appeared in Macon County, North Carolina, where he applied for, and received, a pension which was rescinded in 1835. He took no fur-ther action and it is my belief that he died in 1835/6. He had a large family of seven or more daughters, including Virginia (Jane) who md. Joshua Hall, Jr. They settled in the Savannah area of Jackson County, N.C. His sons and their wives were: Joseph H., md. Ursula Jones - James, md. Sarah Jones - Moses md. Jane Newton - Meredith md. Jane Weedon - and William Lewis, Jr., b. 1774/5, md. Margaret Orr, who were my second great-grandparents.
