Note on family

In the 1880 census on the same page as John and Elizabeth are some more McQueen's it seems likely that they are related. A review of the McQueens that are also buried at Mount Hope suggests that John McQueen, and Jewett Campbell, parents of Archibald and possibly Charles might be the parents of Elizabeth. See Archibald McQueen .^[1]
