[51] Golden Valley is in Rutherford County, NC. Until the end of the French and Indian War (called the Cherokee war in the South) the present Golden Valley community of Rutherford County technically lay within the predecessor counties of Rowan and Anson. The boundary between them was the Granville Line., an east-west bearing which passed through Golden Valley a short distance north of Fairview Baptist Church. First permanent residents arrived in about 1750. In the later 1700's WIlliam Whiteside and Samuel Stockton moved their families from Virginia to the surrounding areas of the Golden Valley and their community was called the Whitesides Settlement. Around the turn of the 19th century most mem bers of the Whiteside family sold their many tracts of land on First Broad River to many new settlers.. Among these were John Queen and William Hunt. The Golden Valley was in 1800 a settled community of rather large farms nestled along the valleys between low mountain ridges. Most of the farmers were prosperous and serveral owned numbers of slaves. Most of the valuable land had been claimed. But soon there came a new land rush, this time for gold! Prior to 1850, North Carolina was the primary gold-producing area of the nation, and Golden Valley was in the heart of the gold belt. The old name of "Whitesides" fell into disuse as two post offices were established in the flourishing community , an upper one called Golden, and a lower one located at Gamble' s store.
Ultimately the name of the Golden Post Office was adopted and the entire area at the head of First Broad River became known as "Golden Valley." According to Clarence Griffiiin in his “History of Rutherford County, 1937-1951,” the 1950 census showed 705 as the population of Golden Valley Township, a figure that apparently has increased a lot up to the present. In the decade of the fifties Highway 226 was built and for the first time Golden Valley was opened to east-west cross-country traffic.

[57] an extensive writeup on this individual was written by Chris Queen of Sylva, Jackson Co., NC in 1962, and posted to the QL by James B. Hardin on 8/22/98.
This document says that Samuel served under Gen. Francis Marion in the Rev. War (from Rutherford Co., which seems in error - his pension application says that he “served from GA”; however, this was the testimony of his son in 1852, well after Samuel’s death; in any event, Samuel’s family was always in NC from what I can ascertain), later moved to the Mills River section of what is now Henderson Co., NC, settling on a creek which came to be known as Queen’s Creek, then later moved west to Jackson Co to the Caney Fork section, settling mostly on Johns creek, a tributary of Caney Fork. It states that he is buried in the cemetery at East LaPorte, NC (contradicting the below).

[58] another write-up, by Andrew Queen, is published in the Jackson Co., NC Heritage Book, and was submitted by James B. Hardin to the QL on 8/22/98. It differs from the above in that it notes Samuel was in Rutherford Co., at the time of his marriage in 1788 (no comment about earlier), and that both Samuel and Dicey died in GA, where they had moved with their youngest son, Lewis Queen.
Both accounts include the same chidren for Samuel and Disey Rolls Queen - Henson (m. ___ Visage), Nancy (m. Sam P. Carson), Harmon (m. Mary Brock), John R. (m. Mary Coward), William B. (m. Mary Nicholson), Sallie (m. Andrew Broom), and Lewis (m. a “Georgia woman named Sally”).

[64] posted to Queen List by Carol Queen 7/7/98. N.B.: The Lincoln-Rutherford county border at this time was just east of Rutherfordton, I am told. According to Ethel Stroupe, another Lincoln Co. researcher, the census taker for Lincoln Co. spoke no German, and thus left the German-speaking communities at Hoyles’, Clark, and Leeper’s Creeks last, not taking them til the summer of 1791, but his own explanation at the end of the census record. Sam Queen lived in this area, and is listed among others on Clark’s Creek in this census, which was taken non-alphabetically, as the census taker went from farm to farm.
