Jimmy, I am a g-g-granddaughter of Joseph B. Queen. Hope that I can shed some light on your questions. Gilmer County is in Georgia, Ellijay, Georgia to be exact. Joseph married Permelia Catherine Hawk My g-grandfather was Charlie Thornton Queen born Sep 12, 1862, died Jun 14, 1952. He married first, Lillian Graves Peters (not Lillie C. as mentioned in your file) born Sep 8, 1867, died Jan 8, 1936, on Mar 19 1882. Their son, Charley Frank was my grandfather. He was born 6/22/1888 Walton County, GA, died Dec 16/1965, Walton County, GA. He married Allie Gladys DeVane, born Feb 7, 1900 in Schley County, Georgia, on Dec 16, 1917. They had the following children, all born in Walton County, Georgia: George Frank, b Sep 2, 1918, d Jan 4 1919 James Rufus, b Sep 23, 1919, d Jul 11, 1983 Ralph Brumby, b Dec 25, 1921, d. Robert Reynolds, b Dec 30, 1923, d May 27, 1999; married Frances Shipp Glass, b Oct 23, 1923 on Jun 21, 1941 Ann Leila, b Mar 12 1927, d, married Emory Perry, Sep 25, 1947 Dorothy Dean, b Oct 6, 1929, d Oct 6, 1929 Charles Eugene, b Jun 3 1931, d Jan 15, 1970 I have more but as it is growing late need to stop for now. Will try to send more another time. I have more dates as all of their children have passed away and will get that to you as soon as possible. I have some more on the children of Charlie Thornton and Lillian Graves Peters Queen also. I know that Charlie Thornton's mother had a brother named Thornton who was killed in the War Between the States just before he was born and that is who he was named after. He was called Thornton and not Charlie. Thanks, ElizaBeth Queen-McKee JRedmondsr@aol.com wrote: > Thanks to you all for your response on Joseph.
