When was the last point we could expect a few wearers of the powdered queue/wig hairstyle to have persisted in using the style? Was anybody still doing it in the 1820s, 1830s, 1840s, or even later? It was dead as a fashion item in the late 1790s for most of Europe and overseas Westernized lands, and I'm not including barristers/judges that wore them as a matter of their professional duties, but I'm asking about people who actually wore these hairstyles on a regular or daily basis.

Chilean conservatives wore them until like the mid 1800s

Interesting. Who were these Chileans conservatives, exactly? Is one of them known, and to even have had a portrait of himself done while wearing the style? Are you talking circa 1850? That's very far into the 19th century for the style to have persisted; the aged wearers would probably have been into their 80s and 90s. I could imagine a few stubborn fellows sticking with the ways which they were accustomed to for so long, though.

The Realists or Pelucones (Basically, wigged men) were the conservative aristocracy that rivaled the liberal party during the early republic period. They pretty much wore wigs because of what they simbolized, and not because it was in fashion during those times, they're pretty anachronistic imo. Here's a wikipedia article on them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelucones, it's pretty empty compared to the original one in spanish though
