Samuel McQueen was head of household by 3-Apr-1780 when he entered land on both sides of New River below the mouth of Pine Swamp and was granted 50 acres by Grant No. 701, dated 22-Sep-1785. In the earliest tax list of Wilkes County, dated 1787, Samuel is listed as head of household in Captain Vannoy's District, with 1 male between 21-60, 2 males under 21 or over 60 and 4 females.
Gracic was born at Shallow Ford of the Yadkin River. This was on the main road in colonial times, in what is now Yadkin County, but it was in Surry County when Gracie was born. Shortly before that date the region was in Rowan County.
If William was born in 1773 on North Fork of New River, he was one of the first citizens of that region, and was born in Surry County, which included at that time the northwestern 1/4 of North Carolina and had no western boundary, other than the edge of civilization.
Very likely, when Samuel first arrived in the region, it was all Rowan County. Their library has an excellent research room, and could possibly have something helpful. Their address is Rowan Public Library, Box 4039, Salisbury, NC 28145-4039.
In 1790, McQueens were living in Cumberland, Moore, Robeson, Sampson, and Richmond Counties, with the greatest concentration (5 families) living in Cumberland County. Cumberland was formed in 1754 and had a concentration of Scottish immigrants. Their major settlement was Cross Creek, which is now Fayetteville. Cumberland County Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 53299, Fayetteville, NC 28305 might have something helpful.


The Shoun Family
by Carl B. Neal
The first McQueens of whom we have a record are Sam'l and Hannah McQueen who were born on the Yadkin River in N.C. about 1750. He served in the Revolution and participated in the King's Mts. Campaign in 1780 under Benjamin Greer, ancestor the the Johnson County,Tennessee Greers who settled in Ashe Co., N.C. Sam'l McQueen died in what is now Johnson County,Tennessee in 1794. Hannah McQueen was a tax payer in 1796. One record states that Sam'l and Hannah were married in 1776 or 1777 and that their daughter Gracie was born 2-21-1771. Obviously one date is an error. They had 8 children reported and we have additional information about only the first 3 listed.

Lessa's comments:
It is possible that they were not married until 1776 or 1777. The area was scarcely populated and had only traveling preachers at the time, therefore marriages were performed when a preacher came through or they would hold a revival which frequently lasted from 3 days to 2 weeks. These were held in a season that was not planting time or harvesting time and families would come from miles around in their wagons and bring enough supplies to last the length of the revival.

The McQueen Family of Johnson Co., Tenn.
by Carl B. Neal
The first McQueens, ancestors of the Johnson Co., Tenn. McQueens, of whom we have a record are Sam'l McQueen and his wife Hannah Dugger. He was of Scotch descent and they were born about 1750 on the Yadkin River N.C. C.C. Donnilly says they were married in 1776 or 1777 but this is probably an error. One report is that Sam'l McQueen served in the Revolution and participated in the King's Mtn. Campaign in 1780 under Benj. Greer. The latter was ancestor of the JCT Greers and they had moved to JCT from Ashe Co., N.C. A correspondent writes that Lomor's "History of Tenn." mentions a Capt. Sam'l McQueen who was in the Revolution under Col. Cleveland and "we think he was our ancestor."
At some time Sam'l McQueen and his family moved to what is now JCT were he died in 1794. Hannah McQueen, his widow was a taxpayer there in 1796.

Cleveland's Capture at Old Fields.-On the 22nd day of April, 1781, Col. Benjamin Cleveland was captured and was rescued the following day by Daniel Cutbirth and a youth named Walters, Jesse Duncan, John Shirley, William Calloway, Samuel McQueen and Benjamin Greer, while Joseph Calloway mounted a horse and hastened to notify Captain Robert Cleveland, Ben's brother, on Lewis' Fork of the Yadkin.

According to the "History of Watauga Co., NC, 1992 p. 61" on the 22nd day of April , 1781, Samuel McQueen along with Jesse Duncan, John Shirley, William Calloway and Benjamin Greer helped rescue Col. Benjamin Cleveland, while Joseph Calloway mounted a horse and hastened to notify Captain Robert Cleveland, Ben's brother, on Lewis' Fork of the Yadkin. This occurred at the lower end of Old Fields, where William, Samuel's son, has stated he was born in 1773.

Col. Benjamin Cleveland took a group of foot soldiers from Wilkes County and met with John Sevier and Isaac Shelby's Overmountain men at Quaker Meadows (Morganton, North Carolina) to participate in King's Mountain Battle. This battle was a turning point of the war. The "Whig Rebels" against the "Tory Patriots." The Rebels fighting for their freedom and Patriots for the King of England. The British government had

According to "A McQueen Family Historical Tour" by Sheila McQueen Ellison (Gardendale, Alabama: The Promise Publishing House)
Research done by Jack McQueen of Elizabethton, Tennessee, states "John, Alexander, and David McQueen, brothers and Jacobite soldiers, were born in Scotland in the late 1600's. They were captured after the siege of Preston, Lancashire, and transported from Liverpool to Charleston, South Carolina, in 1716, on the "Wakefield", Master Thomas Beck. Alexander and David left the ship at Charleston, South Carolina: John left the ship at Baltimore, Maryland. He was bonded to an individual there, probably to pay for his passage. John McQueen settled near what is now Hershey, Pennsylvania, not far from Conawago Creek. He and his sons were on the tax roll there in the 1750's. Since John Sr. had arrived in the country in 1716, his sons, John, James and Joseph probably had children and maybe even grandchildren. I found no records of Samuel McQueen or any of John, Jr., James or Joseph McQueen's children in Pennsylvania. About 1760, John Sr., John, James, James (sic) and Joseph migrated to the area near what is now Statesville, North Carolina.
In the library at Dandridge, Tennessee, is a report of the Hall family saying that James Hall and his wife, Prudence Roddy Hall, had a certificate stating that they were in good standing with the Conawago, Pennsylvania church. One of the signers of the certificate by the Sessions of Conawago was John McQueen. The Halls also stated that John Sr., John, James and Joseph McQueen settled in the Statesville, North Carolina area. Then, it seems, John Sr., John, James and Joseph McQueen disappear.
About this time, the names of John Sr., John, James and Joseph McGoun or sometimes McCoun turned up on deeds, tax rolls, and other records. It is possible that because the Scottish people were out of favor with the King of England, the Scottish name was changed to sound more Irish.
The King of England had appointed a Scot as governer of North Carolina, thinking he was Irish. The governor persuaded the King to let the persecuted people of Scotland migrate to North Carolina. They poured into North Carolina by the tens of thousands from Scotland and Pennsylvania. This John McGoun died in the Statesville area in the 1760's. His son, John McGoun, moved to Dandridge, Tennessee, where he died in 1793. One of his three sons he had named as beneficiary in his will was named Samuel.
In a deed I came across made to Samuel McQueen, the name appeared as "Samuel McQueen (McGown)". If Samuel McQueen's father is John McQueen Jr. (McGown), then he is the Samuel McQueen that I follow down through Virginia to Radford, Virginia, before turning south into North Carolina, and then into Tennessee.
The records at Fincastle, Virginia, show he owned land in the Radford area in 1770. In 1792 Samuel McQueen bought 270 acres on Roan Creek in the Mountain City area from Richard White who had lived near Samuel McQueen in the Radford area. One could almost throw a rock into New River, Watauga River, and the Yadkin River where they head near Blowing Rock, North Carolina. If this is our Samuel McQueen and if John McQueen Jr. is the father of Samuel McQueen, Samuel probably traveled back and forth to Cool Springs, where John McQueen Jr., his father John Sr. and John Jr.'s two brothers, James and Joseph, settled. He probably traveled by land, the nearest way, and not by New River and Yadkin River. Cool Springs is located about 10 miles from both Statesville, North Carolina and Mocksville, North Carolina, where Daniel Boone's father settled. The records back to Samuel McQueen are clear. The records from Samuel McQueen back to Scotland are slightly cloudy. This information may help someone to trace our ancestors back to Scotland or it could be just another dead end.

Hi Lessa! Sorry, I'm not familiar with your McQueen. My line begins with an Alexander McQueen b. Scotland m. Mary. They had a son, Alexander McQueen b.1800 Montgomery Co.,NC d.1879 Montgomery Co.,NC m.Sarah Batten. My McQueen's go to Hardeman Co.,TN after leaving Montgomery Co.,NC. Wish I could have been more help. Kay Hudson
Hi Lessa! I just had a thought...Montgomery Co.,NC was formed from Anson Co.,NC. Yadkin from Surry, Wilkes from Surry, Surry from Rowan, and Rowan from Anson. There probably is an early connection with your Samuel and my Alexander McQueen!! Do you have any idea of where your McQueen's were from prior to NC? Or where did the families that married into your McQueen line come from? I just have a census saying that my Alexander was born in Scotland! TTYL Kay Hudson from Tennessee

My wife and I traveled to Shady Valley Tennessee last year and met 4 cousins that still live there, we are returning in October again this year for the annual Cranberry festival. We visited 3 McQueen cemeteries and mapped them, 2 in Shady Valley and 1 in Johnson City. The old McQueen store is still operating in the valley. I told my father you couldn't swing a cat without hitting a McQueen. Have you applied for the First Family's of Tennessee certificate?

Wilkes County, NC USGEN Project:
In Wilkes County, two militia districts, Vannoy's, and Nall's Districts were west of the crest of the Blue Ridge. These lists have been cross checked against the 1782 Tax List of Wilkes County. These two districts had a total population of 760 white persons, and 14 slaves, in 121 families or 6.25 persons per family. While Arthur Fletcher in his Ashe County, A History, noted that not more than 50 families lived in what is now Ashe County at the close of the Revolution (1783), documentary evidence can only place 34 families in the territory that is now Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga Counties at the time, for an estimated population of 215 in 1782.

Samuel McQueen was my gggg-grandfather. In 1996 part of Tn celebrating 200 years of becoming a state, if you could trace and prove your roots to the time of land ownership before Tn became a state, you were listed as one of the "First Families of TN". I was able to do this. Samuel owned land here in 1792. The deed listed the name as "Old Ambrose Camp" which is near Jonesborough, TN. I am willing to share information if you'd like.

Hello, I am interested in your McQueen site. I am descended from the Alexander McQueen that was in Battle of Preston and transported in 1716 on FRIENDSHIP and landed in MD. He migrated to Culpeper Co., VA. I have an abstract of his will from 1781 and he names a wife Henrietta Cooper (nee McQueen) and their son, Charles McQueen who was b. c. 1740. He also names son John by another wife. I have been told that he was father of an Alexander Jr., William, and a Susannah. Do you know anything about these people. I am descended through son, Charles. Thank you. Jill Stafford

Descendants of Daniel Dugger (1690-1776) from FTM Genealogy Site have my Hannah Dugger listed in their tree with Samuel McQueen as husband.

The Territory South of the Ohio River, the State of Franklin, the Wataugans and Cherokee land were one in the same. I have included information from World Family Tree on CD-ROM and from books I ordered from The Overmountain Press, Johnson City, TN.

From, " A History of Watauga County North Carolina" by John Preston Arthur, c. 1915, 1992, p. 303.
Dugger Family-In 1793 or 1794 Benjamin Dugger came to Watauga County from Yadkin Elk, where a creek and mountain still bear his name. He entered land on Brushy Fork, near the present Holtclaw settlement. His children were Selah, who married Laus Goodin; Daniel Dugger; Cora Ann, who married Samuel Burns; Susannah, who married John Whittington; Mary, who married John Calihan; David and William Dugger. David Dugger bought out the other heirs. The deed is dated November 1, 1815, and calls for two tracts on Brushy Fork. There were three Dugger brothers who came from Scotland to Yadkin Elk, having settled for a time near Petersburg, Va., Benjamin, Daniel and Julius. Ben stopped on Brushy Fork, Daniel went to Kentucky and Julius settled in what was then Carter County, Tennessee, near Fish Spring, where some of his descendants still live. It was from the Julius Dugger family that the Dugger forge and the beginnings of Cranberry forge started. David married Margaret Ernest and their children are: Henry, who married a Green; Polly, who married David Howell; Elizabeth, who married Jehiel Smith, and William, who married Unice Munday. William's children were: Henry, who never married; Franklin, who married Martha Presnell; David, who married Mary Munday; Elizabeth, who never married; John, killed in Civil War; William Eben., married Nannie Wilkerson; Margaret and Mary Jane, not married.

From "A History of Watauga County North Carolina" by John Preston Arthur, c. 1915, 1992, pp. 263-65.
Mentions George Duggar, mining for gold. In 1852 William Duggar is mentioned in reference to land owned by him containg the Cranberry Iron Forge which he received "by a chain of deeds." This was in Watauga County.

Page 265 mentions "the Duggar forge on Watauga River four miles above Bulter, Tenn." This was about 1821. Also on same page "They then sold to William and Abe Duggar, who came from the old Duggar forge above Butler and operated the mine till Abe's death, when, being offended with his son, George, for having married Carolina McNabb, a perfectly respectable girl, left his interest in the mine to his three daughters, Mattie, who afterwards married Jerry Green; Nancy, who had married Charles Gaddy, and Elizabeth, who had married Joseph Grubb, leaving George only fifty acres just below the law office of L.D. Lowe, Esq., at Banner's Elk."

"The Wataugans" by Max Dixon, c. 1976, pp. 4
"Daniel Boone had crossed the Blue Ridge as early as 1760, and in that year had "cilled a bar" (as his inscription on a tree had it) on the Watauga creek that is today named after him. By 1766 transient traders such as Andrew Greer and Caesar Duggar were leading their pack horses among the forested Watauga hills."

William Dugger b. 3-Mar-1749/50 source:
Source for these and all listed progeny: George F. Dugger, Sr., Memoirs.
Had 8 children by first wife, eight by second, then seven by the third.
Sequence of wives is not certain.

William H. Dugger 29-Jun-1814 source:
Sources for William H. Dugger and his progeny: U.S. Censuses, 1850 to 1900, and others as noted individually.
Source: Gravestone. Watauga Democrat art. 1 Jun 1899: "Passed away this week." Source: Eunice Munday Dugger obituary in Watauga Democrat, 25 Jan, 1894, "died at home on Brushy Fork," lists dates and survivors.
This line is extinct except for William Eben Dugger's progeny.

Benjamin Dugger b. abt 1749 source:
This Benjamin's origin, progeny, siblings, and progenitors are not known, but
a matter of conjecture. D. 1797 from stone in Howell Cem. Vilas, NC, unreliable
as its condition and lettering indicate placement possibly a century or more
after death. He almost surely had roots in Brunswick County, VA, but there were
several Benjamin's there, and specific family movements have proved
impossible to trace with any certainty. Some sources indicate a Benjamin Sr.
and Jr. in Western North Carolina at the same time. Their relationship is un-
certain. There was an adult Benjamin doing land business in the early 1800s in
Watauga County, who died about 1815. A Benj. Dugger was on Wilkes Co. tax lists of 1795 and 1797 (Watauga Ancestry, Jun 1991), the census of 1787, and as mar- riage bondsman in 1791, likely the same one. As generations proceed into William H., information becomes more certain, and data on his progeny is solid. I have assigned this Benjamin to Julius, Sr. simply for convenience, not fact.
Source: TAYLOR. Gives additional information but no sources. I've listed her as
the source where appropriate.

Julius Caesar Dugger b. abt 1720 source: WFT Vol. 2, # 1641
This family's members and origin is subject to conjecture. Thorough research
into Virginia Duggers has failed to reveal anything certain. Welford E. Dugger
of St. Louis did find indications of a JCD in VA in 1776, "Said to have come to
this country in the early 1700's settled in Elizabethton, TN. Married a Miss
Kincaid, returned to Eastern VA where both died and are buried there. No record
of his forefathers, or, from whence he came." He also had an indication but no
proof, that Mary Hall was the wife of one of the Julius Dugger's. Some respected and competent researchers maintain he never existed and offer good solid logic as to why he didn't.
I have started this Descendancy with him because it is easier for me to present
more possibilities, more names and possible lineages.
So let the reader beware that Julius Caesar Dugger, Sr. may not be real, and
indeed, since data on these first 3 or 4 generations is scarce and conflicting,
this is presented, not as fact, but as a basis for further research.

Children of SAMUEL MCQUEEN and H
ANNAH DUGGER are:
2. i.   GRACIE2 MCQUEEN, b. February 21, 1771, Shallow Ford, Yadkin River, Surry, North Carolina; d. 1849.
3. ii.   WILLIAM L. MCQUEEN, b. 1773, North Fork, New River, Surry, North Carolina; d. May 16, 1860, Johnson, Tennessee.
  iii.   JOHN MCQUEEN, b. Abt. 1775, Yadkin River, North Carolina; d. Bef. 1880.
  Notes for JOHN MCQUEEN:
!John was probably one of the older children since a John McQueen appears on the 1794 and 1796 tax list for what was later JCT.
The McQueen Family
by Carl B. Neal

Jack McQueen of Elizabethton reports identifying a John McQueen who married Nancy Crews (Cruce) from Madison County, Kentucky. They resided in Franklin County, Tennessee, from 1812 until 1829.
A McQueen Family Historical Tour by Sheila McQueen Ellison (Gardendale, Alabama: The Promise Publishing House)

This report is probably in error. I believe that John McQueen was a decendant of Dugal McQueen, Donna Hechler's line.

Subject: Re: TNJOHNSO-L: McQueen/Duggar
Have you been in touch with Jen Bawden? She is also descended from your
John McQuinn/McQueen. I sent her entire pension papers for this John
McQuin/McQueen...I believe 44 pages. She's in the process of transcribing
all of them.

I believe this John was either the son of Samuel and Hannah McQueen or
possibily a brother. Samuel and Hannah did have a son named John, but
nothing has been known of him. Unfortunately the papers don't say anything
about his family other than he was born in Virginia; however, he said he
served with Benjamin Cleveland. It appears he lived in the same areas that
Samuel and Hannah lived including what became Tennessee. Also many of the names of his children are the same names used by Samuel and his children.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, my John McQuin/McQueen b. 22 Aug 1761 in VA; m. Polly
Allendell; served in Rev War from NC and came to KY in 1794 according
to pension papers. His name was always spelled McQuin until he came
to KY. Peggy Brock

  iv.   SAMUEL MCQUEEN, JR., b. Abt. 1776, Yadkin River, North Carolina; d. Bef. 1880.
  Notes for SAMUEL MCQUEEN, JR.:
!Sam'l, Jr. was probably the youngest. He may have died in the War of 1812.
