Queen (son of William Lewis Queen, Sr.), (page 109), age 45 and older
(210101-11001).[109]
1820 - a John Queen
received a land grant in Burke Co., NC for 20 acres on 7 Dec. 1820.[110] There are
MANY subsequent grants to a Jamison Queen, Solomon Queen and Tobias Queen.
1826 - Rutherford Co. NC
will of Henson Queen dated 17 Mar 1823, probated April 1826, names wife Sarah,
sons John, William; daughters Sarah Green, Ruth Upton, Jane Johnson, Caty
Hicks, and Seley Carter; witnesses: D. Glass, Frs. P. Glass. [111]
1830 - marriage notice of
James Alston Brackett and Miss Cena Queen, daughter of John Queen, on 31 August
1830, on Cove Creek, Burke Co., NC.[112] In another
site, I’ve seen this date as 1834. Not
sure which is correct.
1833 - Macon Co., NC marriage bond for Jesse W. Shearer and Margaret Queen (“daughter of John Queen), dated 26 Oct. 1833.[113]1835 - a Joseph and John Queen voted in the Cullowhee precinct in an election for the 12 Congressional District of NC, held on August 13, 1835, in Macon Co., NC. [114] A Henderson/Henson Queen voted in the Franklin District of this county. No other Queens listed in Macon Co.
1840 - the Macon Co. NC federal census includes a John Queen on p. 155, and Stephen and William Queen on p. 158. MQY says that John Queen, Sr. is in the household of son John (W.) Queen, but EQ believes the opposite is true - namely that this household is John Sr., with son John W. Queen, Jr. in his household. If so, the older woman in this household is a second wife for John Sr., or another relative. John W. Queen didn’t marry until later in 1840.
This John Queen, Sr. died
in Macon Co., NC, sometime between 1850 and 1860. His land was in the area of present-day Beechertown, just south
of the current border between Swain Co. and Macon Co. Queen’s Creek Lake and Queen’s Creek draw their names from him.[115]no date - a query in the NC Genealogical Society
Journal states: “Seeking information on the John W. Queen, Sr. (b. 1774
Montgomery Co., NC), to Rutherford Co. ca. 1811; to Burke Co. (now McDowell) ca
1816; to Macon Co. in 1830’s, where he died bet. 1850-1860. Known sons James (md. Sarah Jones), Henson
(md. Zilpha Glass), John W. (md. Martha Hickey).”[116] This query
MA be in error. Others show the James
who married Sarah Jones to be the son of William Lewis Queen, Sr.
John Queen, son of Thomas Queen, Rev. War soldier
1830 - the federal census
for Haywood Co., NC, p.363, lists Henson Queen (just one male, age 50-59 is in
this household), Harmon Queen, age 20-29 (01001-10001), Samuel Queen, age 60-69
(001010001-000002001) and John Queen, age 20-29 (00001-10010; Joseph Queen, age
30-39 (21000100001-0110010001) with an older man age 80-89 (presumed to be his
father William Lewis Queen, Sr.) and an older woman age 70-79 in the household,
and a second Samuel Queen, age 50-59 (01010001-00011001) are on p. 364; Margaret
Queen (widow of William Lewis Queen, Jr.) is on p. 372.[117]

received a land grant in Haywood Co., NC for 50 acres on 3 Jan. 1834.[118]
1838 - Haywood Co. NC
marriage bond for John Queen and Mary Martin, dau. of Robert, 20 Jan 1838,
Surety Wm Blalock, wit. Wm Welch. This
John Queen is the son or grandson of Rev. War veteran Thomas Queen, and was
born in AL abt. 1797, but returned to NC by 1838.
Maisie Queen Young states that Thomas moved
about alot, and died in AL.[119]
1838 - a John Queen received a land grant in Haywood Co., NC for 100 acres on 12 Dec. 1838.[120]
