Jonah Queen and Associated Familes

The navigation bar at the left is done by the order of the orginal manuscript. This was done in an outline form and a numbering system as: 1, 11, 112, 1121 which is hard to follow. The Queen section was broke down into sections for the children of Jonah also

I found this back in the late 1970's or early 1980's. It was a Xeroxed copy on the filmy paper that fades and turns to a light brown over the years. It was barely readable then but I was able to get a fair copy of it to work with. It was listed in the National Genealogical Society book loan catalog.

With this copy - and I slowly transformed it to a generational manuscript for each name and had added more information and some documentation to it.

I had sent the master copy to have 4-5 copies made to a friend in Greene county and having her take it over to Kinko's in Bloomington to copy, bind etc. A copy was to have gone back to NGS, one to the Worthington and Bloomfield Libraries, one for the friend and some extras; plus the master for me to work from with the obituaries and other sources. This was in 1988 along with other copies of my Mc Kee manuscript, Hardesty maunscript, some Emery Material and other material I needed copied. All was lost because she failed to pick it up and pay for it. I had sent the money in advance by check made out to her and Kinko's it came back cashed by her only and I began the process of questioning where my manuscripts and copies were and could not get hold of her so called Kinkos and found out that that they were remodeling and that they destroyed all copies and the master copies! I was devestated when I finally found out; and there was no excuse since my name, address and phone number was plastered all over all the master copies of the manuscripts. Needles to say I was glad I shared alot of the info; tho I had not shared any of the Queen manuscript so it was lost entirely - except for thecopy of the orginial with some of my notes on it.

This was original complied by L. S. Barkley of Bloomfield, Indiana in 1970 with the assitance of Phillp L. Burgett of Fort Lauderville, Flordia by the title page.

Surnames associated with the family: Ferguson, Hugunin, Skomp, Williams, and York. I have written Pownall also.

I hope that this benfits someone as I have not seen this manuscript listed anywhere - I have recently seen it mentioned on seen the rootsweb site in the Queen Message Board
