Billy,
I show Lillie B. Queen as daughter of Levi and Elizabeth (Greathouse) Queen. Page 43 of the Queen Family History, Lillie Queen, Daughter of Levi and Elizabeth Greathouse.I have the 1880 Census also showing the same info. I do not have Marriages of Harrison County to verifie Marriage to George Wesley Harris but did have the dates, so someone passed it along and I forgot to add the source.
