Regards, Jerry Jerrry and Group: I found the below message No. 91 posted by Bob Godfrey, 5 Jan 99, on Union Co Gen Forum and will post since it is relevant to the will you posted for Henson Queen and family. http://genforum.genealogy.com/queen/ I am also interested because many of the Uptons married into the Brackett family. In particular, I think the Ruth Queen Upton that Henson mentions in the will, could be the same as is found Shirley Adair's book,("Benjamin Brackett of the Carolinas". ..."Thomas Upton (1762- Dec 1833) m. 20 Aug 1789 Ruth Hambee: Marriage Bond 000136445, Bondsmen: Wm. Monroe, Wm Queen, Wit. Isaac Whiteside. Thomas Upton's will 1833 names wife Ruth Upton Rutherford CO, NC Will Abstract#855." I believe that I have seen reference to Ruth Queen Hambee. Did Mr. Hambee die and she marry Thomas Upton? Why was Henson not the bondsman and William Queen was? or could William be Wm. Henson?
