Person:Joseph Queen (8)

1821 Rutherford Co NA deed from John Jones to Joseph Queen.

1824 Rev War pension application of William L. Queen (GA) names son Joseph H. Queen. 1830 in Haywood NC. 1842 in Habersham GA court records 1880 in Dekalb Co GA

Note from Gene Queen, 7/2000: Recent evidence now leads me to the same conclusion others reached years ago; that the Joseph Queen of the 1830 Haywood County, NC census was probably the younger man in the household...and the older man was probably William Lewis Queen, Sr. I have absolutely no clue regarding the identification of the older woman.

The evidence known to me seems to suggest that Joseph Queen came to Haywood County (date unknown) and by the 1830 census was living beside Samuel Queen (not Dicey's husband). Perhaps these two Queens were living in or near the Wayehutta Creek area, just "outside" the Caney Fork area; and on the Haywood County side of the Tuckesegee River. By 1832 Joseph appears to have moved, with his dad, across the Tuckesegee River into Macon County where, on October 8, 1832, Wm Queen, Sr. appeared in Macon County Court and applied for a pension.

Further, it appears probable that he was the same Joseph Queen who's name appears in the "Culliwhee Election Precinct" of Macon County in 1835. More research will prove, I hope, that the Cullowhee Creek (and Bryson Branch near Speedwell which feeds into it) areas were included in that precinct.

It is believed that this is the Joseph Queen whose name next appears on the 1840 Census of Habersham County, GA. A Samuel Queen's name also appears on that census.
