Herold and Surratt

[L Verge]

"Our" William Queen would be long dead by 1880. He died before the assassination. We need to see the 1860 census for Charles County, Maryland, to see who his children were. My suspicion is that this 1880 census reflects his grandchildren, who have given up farm life and moved to the city for jobs.

My point in relation to the statement you found is that the names listed therein are all ones that could be found on a list of Southern Maryland planters or secessionists who would oppose Lincoln's policies. Therefore, they can be tied to Herold and Surratt.
