Washington Queen (son of Catherine Queen of Lincoln Co., NC)
1861- August 26, enlisted as private in Co. E, 34th regiment of the CSA in Lincoln Co., NC, along with his brother Berry Queen, and presumed brother Joshua Queen. Washington was 21 at time of enlistment - born in Lincoln County, died of disease 12/4/1861. He, like Joshua, was a farmer from Gaston.[33]
1862 - is named in "An
Inventory of Lincoln Co. NC Estates Files at the NC Archives".[34]
“old” William Queen - the patriarch of the
Rutherford Co., NC Queen clan
1720 - “old William” born
in VA about 1720 (age 70 in 1790, at time of the appeal of his rejected Rev.
War pension claim. See under 1790.
1753 - is listed on a land
entry in Bladen Co., NC dated 14 Nov. 1753 - lived on Anderson’s Path, on a
branch of Bear Creek.[35] (I haven’t been able to find the location of
Anderson Path.) Therefore had moved to
NC by this date. Bladen was the
predecessor of Anson, Orange, Rowan and Cumberland counties, and at this time
comprised essentially ALL of central and western NC.
- also, mentioned in a Bladen Co. land entry
of John Teer, dated 27 Sept. 1753, “200 acres “near the head of a Certain
Branch of Deep River, including Queen’s improvements.” [36]
1754 - witnessed deed in
Anson Co. NC.[37]
N.B.: Anson Co. was created from Bladen Co. in
1750.
1754 - mentioned in a
Bladen Co., NC survey book: “Surveyed for John Teer - 200 acres in Bladen Co. on
a prong of Bear Creek including the place where William Queen did live -
1-19-1754.”[38] In 1754,
Bladen Co.’s western part included present-day Robeson and Moore counties. Anson Co., formed in 1750 from Bladen, lay
just west, and had no western border in 1754.
There are 23 Bear Creeks in NC today,[39] making it problematic to locate this land with
certainty. However, only one
present-day Bear Creek seems to lie in
old Bladen Co. - it rises in south
Randolph Co., and flows SE into northern Moore Co., where it flows into Deep
River. This land lies just east of the
present-day Montgomery County line.
16 Oct., Anson Co. deed - Edmond Lilly to John
Lilly, land N side of Pee Dee. Wm
Lilly, William Queen.
1755 - Anson Co., NC deed

to John Halton on NE side of Pee Dee, witnessed by Wm. Queen, Joseph Attaway,
James Goldsbe.
1763 - appears (“William
Quinn”) on Anson Co. NC Tax List, with (sons?) Timothy and Henson Quinn
(Queen).[43] It appears
from this list that William was a “Constable.” [44]
1764 - witnessed deed in
Anson Co. NC from Samuel Parsons to Haden Morris, land on Little R., along with
Matthew Raiford.[45]
1765 - William Queen of
Anson Co. NC to William McConnell of Rowan Co. NC for 20 pounds, 200 acres on
Nicholson’s branch of Cross Creek.
Wit.: John Smith, William Young, R. Downs, John Billing.[46] I have been
unable to locate this land, or these waterways.
- 21 April, witnessed deed from David Bruton
to Wm Page on Little R., along with Wm. Holton, & Matthew Raiford.
- 1 Juuly, witnessed deed of John Carpenter of
Anson to Samuel Parson of same, 100 acres on S. side of Cedar Creek, granted
James Alley and sold to Carpenter, along with William Hollan, Obadi Therrell.
1767 - SOLD to William
Mears 100 acres on SW side of Little River, part of 200 acres granted Robert
Mills. Wit.: John Smith Sandhill, Mary
Hount.[47]
1768 - Anson Co. William Queen SOLD to Samuel Parsons 100
acres on the bank of the Little River, including the mouth of Ridge Creek
“where William Queen now lives,” granted Wm Stone in 1750, “marks of William
and Margaret Queen, affixed.”
“Margaret, wife of William Queen, relinquishes rights.” Wit.: John Curlo Smith, John Smith Sandhill. Proved in April Court 1769 on oath of John
Smith Sandhill.[48] Little River is in present-day Montgomery Co., which
was formed from Anson Co. in 1779.
1769 - by this date, had
sold all NC land, and moved to GA.
1773-1775 - Record of Court
of Land Commissioners of Wilkes Co. GA indicate William Queen granted land,
“William Queen - NC - a wife, son, and 2 daus. from 15-23 years old. Reserved until he finds the land.” [49] It is
unclear whether this is patriarch William, or his son William Lewis Queen.
1776 - William Queen sells
the Manson Co. of Georgia “deer carcasses, turkey and fowls.” [50] His
daughter Rebecca Queen Hogue and her husband Stephen Hogue were in Wilkes Co.,
GA, living at Macklemurrays, on a branch of the Little River, and probably her
father was nearby. There is no evidence
that either family was Quaker, and in fact the Hogues were slaveholders and
were Baptist.
1786 - Randolph Co. NC land
Grant survey, to William Queen, 2 acres, Uwharrie River.[51] This land
lay in souhern Randolph Co., north of the land in Montgomery Co., where his
clan lived 1761-769, before leaving for Georgia. It appears that old William returned to familiar territory,
before later moving west to NE Rutherford Co.
1786 - October:
Hillsborough District Ejectments Order, Randolph Co., NC, against William Queen
for this two-acre tract on the Uwharrie River.
A John Arnold claimed a prior patent on the tract after William had
built a mill, “ with the consent and assistance of my neighbors”. This appears to be the patriarch William
(“old William”) Queen. The petition
states in part, “I William Queen, late of the county of Randolph who was formerly
a resedenture (sic) of the state of Georgia an din the time of the war with
Grate Britane (sic), was plundered of all my proberty by the Torys and was
wounded and obliged to leave that country for fear of the enemy, and so redus’d
to a state of poverty and near seventy years of age and not able to work
for my living, I concluded to build me
a mill on the Uwharrie River....”
In 1787, the NC General Assembly Session
Records, Nov. Session contain his petition.
He evidently did not prevail, and subsequently
moved west to NE Rutherford Co. See
below.
1788 - 20 Oct., William
Whiteside of Rutherford Co. to William Queen “late of Randolph Co. NC”, a tract
of land on Ward’s Creek originally granted to Robert Collingwood.[52] It isn’t
clear if this is old William, or his son William Lewis, but it appears to be
the latter, because old William is still in Randolph Co. in 1793 (see
below). However, though dated
10-20-1788, this deed isn’t recorded until 26 Sept. 1793.
Maisie Queen Young believes that this is
patriarch William, and that this indicates that he got 300 pounds for his mill
in Randolph Co. on the Uwharrie River.
1788 - William Queen is
bondsman on the Feb. 21, 1788 marriage bond for Samuel Queen and Dicey Rolls;
the witness is William Goings.
1790 - files an appeal of
his apparently rejected claim for reimbursement of losses in the Rev. War. In this claim (made about 1790), he stated
that he had been “plundered of all his property, wounded and made a cripple by
the Tories, and was obliged to leave Georgia.” [53]
14 Sept., 1790 - Anson Co.
deed from John Smith to William Smith, both of Anson Co., for 25 pds. 100 acres
on the Little River of Pee Dee, granted to said John Smith Dec. 5, 1760. Wit.: Richard Downs, Wm Queen, Margaret
Queen.[54] Patriarch
William is back in NC from Georgia.
1793 - 5 Oct. 1793, William
Queen “of Randolph Co.” gives power of attorney to “my son and trusty friend William Lewis Queen,” witnessed by
Samuel Carpenter, James Chitwood.[55]
1794 – April 11. William Queen, Junr., agent and attorney for
William Queen, Senr., (sells) to Jacob Prilhart, each of RCNC, (for) 75£, 200
acres on the west side of Wards Creek, first granted to Robt. Collingwood. Wit. Robert H. Taylor, Peter Woodward. #69, 6 January 1806.[56]

improvements whereon he now lives joining Collingwood, granted to William Going

Peter Woodward. #70, 6 January 1806.[57]
1798 - March - Rutherford
Co. bill of sale from William Queen to Stephen Hougue (his son-in-law): 1 mare,
6 plates, 3 dishes, 3 basins. Wit.: David Forbes, William Hougue.[58]
1799 - Rutherford County,
North Carolina Deed Bk 15-17, 204: 2 Feb. 1799, Peter Watson to William Queen,
Sr., 50 acres on First Broad River.
1800 - the Rutherford Co.,
NC federal census, p. 138, has the following Queens: John Queen, age 16-26 -
10100-20100 [son of old Wm? Thomas
Queen b. 1745 also had a son named John, b. 1774[59]].) William
Queen, age 45 and older, with wife of similar age {00001-00001-00]; Samuel
Queen, age 26-45, with wife and 6 children; William Queen, age 45 or over, with
wife 26-45 and 11 children or young adults; Meredith Queen, age 16-25 with wife
and two daughters 0-9; Timothy Queen, age 45 or older, with wife and 3 children
or young adults; and Timothy Queen, Jr., age 26-45, with wife and two children.[60],[61]
1801 - “old” William Queen
said to have died, and to have been buried in the Golden Valley area in NE
Rutherford Co., NC.[62]
- letters of administration granted to Stephen
Hogue on the estate of Wm Queen, dec’d, Rutherford Co., NC April Court, 1801.
(Hogue was husband of Wm’s daughter Rebecca Queen).[63]
He may be buried in the Hogue family cemetery.
This cemetery is located in the Golden Valley section of Rutherford County
about 3 miles west of the First Broad Baptist Church. It is situated on the
northwest side of Highway # 226 about 2/10 mile off the highway, and the plot
contains some 12 to 15 graves, with only 2 of them marked. Since Rebecca and husband Stephen were
granted letters of administration for his estate, he was probably living near
them or with them. And both Rebecca and
Stephen Hogue are buried there; theirs are the only two graves that are marked
in this cemetery.

Jerry Dyer favors the latter ancestry; he writes (2/28/02): “Attached land
survey is for TOBIAS QUEEN, note it is in 1827! He had to be of age to buy land. Land is in a horse shoe
shape around MOSES Queen's land. I feel this (Tobias) is a son of Moses Queen (b. c. 1770-75)son
of WLQ, Sr. I know I wouldn't let just some distant relative encircle my
property like that! Anyway, point is that this is where I feel another
son of Moses (my viewpoint) named SOLOMON, got the name for his son, Tobias,
born in 1840's. You might
already have this data, but my interpretation of it's significance is
different. Why he was never listed in any of the census records is beyond
me. Maybe he just lived there, never married, etc. Moses always
gave census recorders the same group of children - four males, two females -
this even after they had married and moved away.”
