Notes for C
HARLES QUEEN:
[Charels Queen Desendants.FTW]

Charles McQUEEN was a citizen of Tipperrary County of Ireland, and was a private in the English Army and an honored magistrate of his native County, but according to the ruling of the English Parliament, no one of Scotch or Irish name could rank as a Commissioned Officer. So in order to receive this Commission Charles McQUEEN had to drop the prefix Mc from his original name, and became an English Officer under the name of just CHARLES QUEEN. He was said to be a man of commanding presence and courage and discretion in the execution of his Official Trust, and by virtue of his New Official Position, and by an act of the English Parliament, he was entitled to enter free of cost, (1400) acres of land in the Virginia Colony of America, while a private citizen or soldier of England, could only enter (400) acres. Now this is how, we as a people got the name of just QUEEN.
