male, age 20-29, with a relative (most likely his father or father-in-law) the
older male, age 70-79. [Could this be
Meredith Queen, son of William Lewis Queen? Age isn’t even close, with this man
b. 1750-1760 - RK]
James Queen is on p. 461, and Hugh Queen is on
p. 482 (2nd regiment). Is old enough to have been George’s father.

an Oliver Quin on p. 263.
Also in February of 1840, William A. Queen is
among the purchasers of items from the estate of Moses Wilkerson, deceased in
Rutherford Co., NC.[2]
1860 - Rutherford Co.
federal census, p. 613, First Broad settlement:
Richard Queen, age 94, born in NC (therefore
b. 1765-66). No other Queens are in his household, but B.E. Rollins 35M Bapt.
minister and his wife Mary 24F are there.
Next door is Elias Queen 44M cooper, b. NC, no real estate, could read,

Queen (p. 624, household 538, next to William, age 38); this Richard is a day

also illiterate. Children are Rebecca
16F, Polly 10F, James 8M, Nancy 5F, Wm 3M, and Thos. 2M.
and in the Cedar Creek P.O., district, W.A.

25F, William 20M, and Moses 19M. [4] The son

Mirah M. 18 NC, Nancy E. 9 NC, Mary A.R. 8 NC, Moses L. 3 NC.[6]
William Allen Queen, Jr. (1835-1915)A William A. Queen, b. abt
1835, d. 1915. His grave and that of
his wife, Lou C. Rocker Queen (Jan 2 1836-Feb. 18, 1908, “wife of WAQ”) are in
the Montford’s Cove Baptist Church Cemetery, Rutherford Co., NC.[7]
His gravestone says that he served in Co. G, 16th NC Infantry, but the stone was
placed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and they may have been
mistaken. The Compiled Service record
for this soldier gives his age at enlistment in 1861 as 45, and THIS William
would have been 26, not 45. A better
candidate for this service is the William A. Queen above, or possibly the
William Queen of Golden Valley, Rutherford Co., NC, married to Malinda, and 48
yo at the time of the 1860 census.[8]
This man is the son of the W.A. Queen b. abt.
1804, above.[9]

Golden Valley is in Rutherford County, NC. Until the end of the French and
Indian War (called the Cherokee war in the South) the present Golden Valley
community of Rutherford County technically lay within the predecessor counties
of Rowan and Anson. The boundary between them was the Granville Line., an
east-west bearing which passed through Golden Valley a short distance north of
Fairview Baptist Church. First permanent residents arrived in about 1750. In the later 1700's WIlliam Whiteside and
Samuel Stockton moved their families from Virginia to the surrounding areas of
the Golden Valley and their community was called the Whitesides Settlement.
Around the turn of the 19th century most mem bers of the Whiteside family sold
their many tracts of land on First Broad River to many new settlers.. Among
these were John Queen and William Hunt. The Golden Valley was in 1800 a settled
community of rather large farms nestled along the valleys between low mountain ridges. Most of the farmers were
prosperous and serveral owned numbers of slaves. Most of the valuable land had
been claimed. But soon there came a new land rush, this time for gold! Prior to 1850, North Carolina was the
primary gold-producing area of the nation, and Golden Valley was in the heart
of the gold belt. The old name of "Whitesides" fell into disuse as
two post offices were established in the flourishing community , an upper one
called Golden, and a lower one located at Gamble' s store.
Ultimately the name of the Golden Post Office was adopted and the entire area
at the head of First Broad River became known as "Golden
Valley." According to Clarence
Griffiiin in his “History of Rutherford County, 1937-1951,” the 1950 census
showed 705 as the population of Golden Valley Township, a figure that
apparently has increased a lot up to the present. In the decade of the fifties Highway 226 was built and for the
first time Golden Valley was opened to east-west cross-country traffic.

Review of census microfilm at Natl. Archives 8/20/98 shows this listing
for Joseph Queen, on p.364:
21000100001-01100100010. It is presumed
that the elderly male, age 80-89, in this household is old William Lewis Queen,
since no other Queen households have a man this age in them. He’s not listed by name. The elderly woman is presumably his wife, or
Joseph’s mother-in-law.
Nearby (p. 363) are Henson and Samuel Queen (age 60-69), Harmon Queen, John
Queen, and (also on p. 364, next to Joseph) another Samuel Queen, age 50-59.
