Neill MacQueen was born and died at Queensdale.
He married Mary Stewart, daughter of Hon. James Stewart.
Their children:
Sarah Jane MacQueen (1832-1855)
James Archibald MacQueen (1834- )
This son was by occupation a farmer and tilled a portion of the old Queensdale lands. According to the statements of his late brothers and sisters, he was a man of exemplary Christian character, gentle and quiet in manner, well educated, and fond of good reading. His honor and integrity were of the highest order, his disposition so amiable that he is said never to have had an enemy, and he was a prime favorite with the entire family. Physically, he was tall and slender, with deep blue eyes and brown hair.
Mrs. MacQueen was widely known as a woman of superior intellect and a nature of uniform sweetness and Christian purity.
The children, James Archie and Sallie Jane, were too young to have any recollection of their father; after whose death, at Queensdale, the widowed mother removed to Floral College, N. C., in order that her only daughter might enjoy the educational advantages offered in that institution. This plan of the devoted mother was executed, until a fatal malady seized upon the twain, and both of them died within a few hours of each other. Their remains were buried in the same grave in Stewartsville Cemetery. Sallie Jane was exceedingly bright and winsome. She died in her seventeenth year. The son, James Archibald, became the sole heir of this lineage.
