Biography

James Henry Quillen was born in the Wayland community of Scott County, Virginia, on January 11, 1916. One of ten children in the farming family of John Alley and Hannah Chapman Quillen, he attended public schools in Scott County until the family moved to Kingsport, Tenn., in the late 1920s. There he attended city schools and, as he grew up, he held numerous part-time jobs to supplement the family's income. He graduated in 1934 from Dobyns-Bennett High School. The need to help support his family led him to decline an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. He began work instead at the Kingsport Times-News and the Kingsport Press.
