A few weeks ago I had ordered some records from the library of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) about the McQueen family. These are those records (dun dun…for the Law & Order fans).
The first record is part of one I had already ordered and posted, but it didn’t have all of the information I had hoped to receive. This one does! The record gives me a birthday for Peter McQueen. Part of this records was already posted HERE, I will post it again:

So now I have Peter’s birthdate. I just need his death date and where he was buried.
And while we are on the subject of Peter, there is a record of him (one record, but on two pages) from Arkansas. This record places him as living in Marion County, Mississippi at the end of 1827:

“ITEM”. It makes me cringe to think about a person as an “item”.
