There are quite a few McQueens here in south Mississippi. Our ancestors came from North Carolina through Georgia and Alabama to south Mississippi. I have a brother who is now living in Columbus, Ohio, and his two children are living in Dallas. My brother is Doug (William Douglas); his son in Dallas is Sean(William Sean) and his daughter is Gayle McQueen Turner. The first three McQueens in this area were brothers: William, Ervin, and Murdock. Their .father did not come with them, but their mother(Emily) did. She later married a Dawsey and had other children. William remained in Hancock county and had a large family. Ervin moved to Harrison County on the Mississippi Gulf coast. Murdock got into a fight with his stepfather, thought he killed him and fled. The family never heard from him again. Emily McQueen was a Goodson before her marriage. Ervin has many descendants in Harrison County. This is just a thumbnail sketch of the family to identify it for you.I have cousins scattered all around the countiy now and there are many McQueens left in this area. I would love to hear from other McQueens. My name is Mary Jackanell McQueen Smith. I use my middle name, Jackanell, and of course Smith is my married name.
