I have no reason to object to speculation that Nathan S. QUEEN is the son of William B. "Billy" QUEEN and Mary NICHOLSON. The gap between Americus, b. 1820 and Benjamin Nicholson, b. 1831 is, in the absence of "infant graves" tied to William B. and Mary, is unbelievably long. However, I do not believe that Robert Henry QUEEN is the son of William B. "Billy" QUEEN and Mary NICHOLSON because it has been stated that "His mother Mary lived with him in 1880 age 86 (b.1794)." I have assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that this statement was based on census information or some other document. Mary Nicholson Queen died October 19, 1878 according to her tombstone in the Sol's Creek Cemetery, Canada Twp., Jackson Co., NC. I do not recall any challenge to the accuracy of this date in the past. James B. Hardin
