Firstly, James H. Queen was born in County Armagh, Northern Ireland and migrated with his family to Maryport, England. His folks were Terence Quinn & Elizabeth McGuire. His children by his first wife Catherine Harker were David Terence Queen, John Bruff Queen & Mary Jane "Jennie" Queen -Fellows.<br /><br />James H. Queen was in 3 Union regiments in the Civil War, not just one. 14th Ohio (3 month), 38th Ohio as 2nd Lt. and lastly Capt. Co. I, 10th Tennessee Inf. (Union). He was with this last at the time divorce was filed. He didn't "run away" to Nashville. He was stationed there. Drunkenness and abandonment were most likely true but running a cat house in Nashville while on duty highly doubtful. Although a superior officer approved of his resignation due to inattention to his command.<br /><br />Catherine Harker was married 4 times, not just twice: James H. Queen, George Barnes-Wanamaker, Edwin Putnam & John Webster.<br /><br />Capt. James H. Queen did later marry Margaret Steen and settled in Denver. It appears he tried with great effort keeping anonymous to his former family by taking his wife's maiden name "Steen" on city directories. Some of his sons with this second marriage actually are buried with the Steen name as well. Capt. Queen is my 3g grandfather and son John Bruff Queen my 2g grandfather. While very young John Bruff Queen did ride certain routes in Kansas formerly of the Pony Express during the 1870's. However the official Pony Express was very short lived having been disbanded in 1861 after the invention of the telegraph.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16898312489563434486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217045706117765596.post-32923112029019912962019-01-04T14:31:47.483-05:002019-01-04T14:31:47.483-05:00Note: John B.
