From Johnson Co., TN email list
Lessa,
I noticed your several messages on the Johnson County homepage. I
noticed that you were a McQueen, but I don't know if you are a direct
descendent of William and Rebeckah Gwinn McQueen or not. My father and
Mary Floy's mother were first cousin's-our grandfather's were brothers.
I had mentioned to Mary Floy several weeks ago about the deterioration
of the tombstones in the William McQueen cemetary. The cemetary is
located on highway 421 going out of Mtn. City and on land owned by June
Hines. Mary Floy did not want to post information on this web page
about the cemetary because she said most subscribers were not McQueen
descendents.
What Mary Floy knows and what I told her is that all of the tombstones
are in need of repair. Most are completely unreadable. However, I know
whose tombstone each is because about thirty years ago I went to the
cemetary and wrote down all names on the tombstones.
From memory those buried there include William McQueen and wife
Rebeckah-my ggggrandparents. Also buried there
is my gggreat grandmother, Sarah McQueen Donnelly. (My gggrandfather,
William Donnelly, may also be buried there, but there is no marker at
all for him. Others buried there are Col. Issac McQueen and Missouri
McQueen.
What I thought would be nice is to put footstones on all the graves
with names and dates of birth and death.
I have talked with one other descendent of Sarah M. Donnelly who
might be interested in doing something. His name is Lester Crosswhite.
Let me know what you think and if you are a descendent of William
McQueen.

John Donnelly
