Gayle, I have not been able to find any proof as to what the S. in Nathan S. Queen's name stands for. His son, William Nathan, apparently never told his children what his grandfather's name was. He did say that he, William Nathan Queen had the same name as his grandfather and that his father, meaning Nathan S. Queen, had the same name as his grandfather. If my supposition is correct, that the father of Nathan S. Queen is William B. Queen, the son of Samuel Queen, then my grandfathers' statement would be correct, if the S. stood for Samuel. Any additonal information anyone could supply would be appreciated. Lee L.
