Notes for CHARLES ARMSTEAD QUEEN:
[Charels Queen Desendants.FTW]

Charles A. Queen of the Second Generation, a son of Sarah (Norman ) Queen and Armstead Queen, was (born on the waters of Peel Tree Creek in 1800), and died in 1870 at age 70 years.
He was married twice. He married a Miss Charlott Jeffers Bush in (1817). He then made his way through the thick forests over the Rooting Creek Mountains on to the head waters of Peck's Run, a small stream that flowed East (8) miles into the Buckhannon River. There he purchased a farm of (150) acres of land all in woods, not a stick amiss ,of Cathern McCall for $1.00 per acre, amounting to $150.00. He paid some in cash and got a Title Bond for the farm, leaving him badly in debt.
This land had a wonderful rich soil, covered with a luxuriant forest of a great variety of fine timber. Many Poplar Trees, seven feet in diameter and a hundred feet tall, and lots of Black Walnut Trees from 3 feet to 5 feet in diameter and thousands of fine Red Maple or Sugar Trees and all kinds of other timbers that were adapted to that rich soil. In fact all down that stream from it's head to the mouth was covered with fine sugar trees, where was thousands of pounds of sugar and hundreds of gallons of fine maple syrup in this wilderness section with no roads except trails and path ways up and down that stream and but (2) or (3) families along that stream. Here he built a log cabin and settled down with his first wife, Charlott Jeffers Bush and reared a family of (10) children,
Armstead C., Stewart Litle, Levi H., Benton, Tabitha, Lydia, Sarah, and Eliza.
There were two daughters born that died not long after being born and are buried on the old homestead.
In this time he operated a Still House for a while.
After (20) years in this wilderness, and with a large family to support and a mortgage against his farm, and scarcely any money in those days, and no market for anything he could raise, he became discouraged, and decided he could not pay off the mortgage and support his family, so he made an agreement with his son Stewart, that if he would pay off the mortgage and provide for the family and make that a home for them, that he, would sign the Title Bond over to him, so he turned his farm and title over to his son, Stewart L. Queen. So he cared for them seven years, after which six of the family got married and his mother died. then Charles A. Queen bought a little farm on the head of Chariots Fork where he built a log cabin and batched and taught school for a few years right in his house.

Then he married Mrs. Abigail White, Nov. 8th, 1861, (No children). Then his youngest son, Benton Queen, enlisted as a soldier in the Federal Army in the Great Civil War, at the age of (17).Three of his sons and three of his son-in-laws, and three of his grandsons were soldiers in the Federal or Union Army and fought in some very severe battles and all were honorably discharged in 1865 and returned home without a wound, but one grandson, Albert Queen, who died while in the service. Then he sold his farm and moved to Rural Dale, on Hacker's Creek, Upshur County, W. Va., in 1866 and died in 1870 at the age of (70) years, and was buried on Peck's Run in a private cemetery on his old home farm by the grave, of his first wife, and two daughters and several grandchildren.
