Hi Group! Realize this probably has been posted/sent to all concerned, but - since I started this drive on Burke County, NC, might as well take in all the scenery which might help out. Found in "Rutherford County, North Carolina Wills and Miscellaneous Records, 1783-1868," James and Vivian Wooley, Southern Historical Press, 1984." (Book page 75..) quote: "page 53, 17 March 1823. Recorded April Court 1826: I, Henson Queen, of Burke Co., N.C. being weak in body but of perfect mind & memory, I give to my wife, Sarah Queen, two negroes named Dick and Landon, all my working tools and farm tools, household furniture during her life time, at her death the negroes I will to my son, John Queen. I will to my dtr, Sarah Queen, my negro woman named Seal. I will to my dtr Ruth Upton, $50, I will to my dtr, Jane Johnston, $50, I will to my dtr, Caty Hicks, $50, I will to my dtr, Seley Caster, $50, I will to my son William, $50.

Glass, Jurat Signed by mark, Henson Queen end quote If this has been posted and discussed previously, my apologies. But I thought it interesting the surnames of the daughters! Now to find their marriages. And, yes, the book was Rutherford County, while Henson stated he lived in Burke! Go figure. Regards, Jerry
