Queeny was Bartons' second wife, about the same age of his oldest son. Leoma Smotherman, the Smotherman family historian, who died in August of 1977, is credited with saying Queeny once said, "I'd rather be an old man's darling, than a young man's slave."

Queeny's second husband's son, Thomas B. Spence married Elizabeth Stem. One of their sons was Asie Burton (Bud) Spence who married Edna Beatrice Hansberry. They had Helen Beatrice, Virginia "Faye", Dorothy Irene, and my step-father, Hollis Lester Spence (1936-1987) who married on December 22, 1972, my mother Lee Opal Freeman (1931-1997) .
