About the Book

My book is about my two sons John Jr., Nairobi Sr. and myself. It is about being witness to a system that will put you on trial just because they want you there. Not that we did anything wrong.

It is about my claim to the properties of William McQueen, my father. Some people never heard of the Carolina Charters or the 8 Lords Proprietors, or the McQueen family. It is clearly written from 1663 to 1972 in the history department.

The McQueen’s were from 1703 John McQueen til 1972 William McQueen, my father.


About the Author

In her book, Witnesses to the Impossible Dreams, Regenia McQueen-Teasley presses her claim to an inheritance from her father’s estate. She has been denied for nearly 30 years. She speaks about her family and friends from her childhood, while she was growing up in the south and later in her life in Cincinnati, and being jailed for something that is rightfully hers. The numerous documents that have been acquired in her search are cited. This is a true story about her perseverance despite the many obstacles that she has faced. Regenia McQueen-Teasley was born in Summerville, South Carolina, but lived most of her life in Cincinnati, where she and John Sr., her husband, raised two sons, John Jr. and Nairobi Sr., and three daughters, Tonya, Ieshia and Rhodesia. She is the proud grandmother of twelve grandchildren: Raphael, Jamila, William, Nairobi Jr., Randi, De Jong, Donnish, Nairobi McQueen, Nyasij McQueen, Indonesia McQueen and Khydesia McQueen. In addition to being a homemaker, she has held various office positions.
