Hello, Robert and Susan are my Great great grandparents. My great grandfather (their son), Was Arthur Alfred Quantrill b. 1857/1955 (Sturston). I seen to have aquired two siblings of Arthur who I think must belong to another Quantrill, maybe cousins? Their names are Frederick 1852 /1891c and Agnes Susan 1854 both born in Thompson Norfolk. Can anyone help withth thier line please?

My research since 2003 has suggested the following:

--Quantrill's mother was an orphan.
--She was born in the vicinity of Beaver Falls, PA and raised by the Beaver Falls Presbyterian Church.
--Many Clarkes became Clarks to avoid association with him.
--He attacked the town of Lawrence, KS after he felt the people there disrespected and insulted him one time too many. (He obviously suffered from mental illness, too.)

If either of you can contact that Church and try to find more information, please let me know what you find out!
Sincerely,

From the British Invasion of MD, 1812-1815, By Will. Matthew Marine (in the appendix):

Quantrill, Thomas. Captain in 24th rgt. (Je. 16, 1812). Wounded at North Point.

I have a potential relation that was in the same company (William Schleigh). Does anyone know the geographical muster region of this regiment?

Hello Janet:

Have you discovered anything new on Thomas Quantrill?

I am also searching for information on Captain Thomas Quantrill.

Hagerstown Volunteers
Attached to the 39 th. Reg't Maryland Miltia, Captain Thomas Quantrill served in the Defense of Baltimore, Battle of Blandesburg and North Point during the War of 1812.

War of 1812 Service Records
Thomas Quantrill
Company: Smalls command, Maryland Miltia
Rank Captain: Roll Box 170 Roll Ect. 602
Company; 39 Reg't (Fowler's) Maryland Militia.

Found him next on Census records in Washington DC.

I have a passed down framily story that we were related to the Quantrill's haven't found that connection , yet it was either thru the Forsyth's of Hagerstown, Maryland or my Thompson line?
Their seem to be a lot of Quantrills in the census records of Washington DC. But no one has listed any Quantrill's in that site at rootsweb.com?

Hi Elena

A kind gentleman passed me a lot of info on Quantrills in Tottington, including those you mention. Mine seem to originate in Wrentham and Wicklewood, maybe somewhere along the line they link up but I haven't found any link yet.

Re: Quantrills in Norfolk

elliebedford — 2006-06-13 08:38:24Z

Hi Barbara,
They were from Tottington. With help from a local historian we have traced them back to Thomas Quantrill (b. 1765) and Margaret Towler, however before that it gets a little hazy. Does this information coincide with any you have?
Be gratefull for any help at all!!

I have studied and researched William Clarke Quantrill for some 15 years.Mostly about his life after History claimes he died.
WCQ had a sister Mary. She may have died after civil War. She may have been a widow of a Hickman that was war death.
In C.C. Quantrill's travels with W.W.Scott @ 1888 seeking what really happened to her son, SHe told a news reporter that she only had one son living. I don't know where this meant totally1 Child or 1 Son ( nothing about daughters).
Over time I recieved E mails from reporteded Quantrill family. This is really hard for me to swallow UNLESS it was cousins ETC./ ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE as directly from WCQ his brothers or sisters!!!! He only had 4 neices I could find and naturally they wouldn't have carried on the Quantrill name.
In some information I also heard that Mary simply sat around and quilted after the death of her husband. This also seems unlikely since Quantrill had a photo of Mary Hickman on him when captured.
I wonder how I could get some info on the Goodfellows home C.C. Quantrill died in??? Is she buried in DOver Oh

Exactly! I am sure there are more than one of ANYNAME.
I've see too many saying I'm related to so & so and darn sure can't prove it.
My question , years ago was looking for info. & i can't even wonder how anybody could misconscrew this into rumor???
I Be John DOE and BOB SMITH gets alot of e mail complaints.
THIS & so many related request was why I stopped looking for info on these type boards long ago.
I simply needed info in line with research project on William C. Quantrill the outlaw--- not "ELL" nor Cantrell Etc........

@@Dkennedy70@HOTMAIL.Com — 2006-02-22 21:21:07Z

Shirley, I'm sorry if I didn't send you this! I recieved about 50 to 100 e mails a day and they were hard to sort back then. I recently recieved one on Carrie Belle Younger? Quantrill?Crocker? from Arkansas.
Search Quantrill message board--
I had recieved info about a grave in Cotton Plant Arkansas close by where Ms Gabie Crocker lived. Mrs Crocker was a Missouri Younger ( sister to bob jim cole) she was married to a man who claimed to be L. J. Crocker-- He wasn't! He was William Clarke Quantrill! Reported time of death 1918 it was believed/ told in lawsuits that she moved back to Missouri, later died and buried by Younger family in Lee Summit.
I found a death Cert finally, because it was misfiled and forged because of lawsuits. She died in Dec 1917 on 17th or 18th. I have been trying to find if this grave was that of Ms Gabie. While it was rumored she was Sarah Sarahann Sallie Younger, she well could have been another of the sisters????
I stopped the other e mail service long ago and that have been why I missed this responce years ago.... Please feel free to e mail me Dave K.

I am seeking information about POSITIVE family members of Quantrill.
I am into the 15th year of research.
I am sorry I can not provide family genelogoly on somebody that may have rode under Quantrill, for I don't know other than my ancestors.
My project/book is mainly about Quantrill AFTER his reported death.
I don't need anybody wanting to argue nor attempting to tell me that he died, for he DID NOT until June1917 Arkansas.
Sorry I got so many stupid E mails years ago I stopped seeking on this site.
Serious replies appreicated Thanks DaveK

Hi David!!!
Sorry for the late response to your post of 4/25/05 - I've been offline for a while & just now discovered it.
Sounds like the grave you are referring to is not related to my Carrie Bell Quantrell.
I DO believe my Carrie Bell Quantrell had some connection to the Youngers (as I believe I have previously mentioned) due to the fact that she kept a newspaper clipping regarding Cole Younger's amnesty throughout her lifetime. (I now posess that newspaper clipping) As well as the family info regarding the proximity of residence, names, (Including Charles Quantrell) etc, which my family had with WC's family, so I am, as always, very interested in whatever your research uncovers.
Kind of interesting, also, that one of the Youngers would use that particular alias.. huh??

Re: William Clarke Quantrill

SandyClark264 — 2006-01-01 00:03:05Z

I am very interested in your document trail after the alleged date of death. Our family is finding so many coincidences with WCQ that we must explore the possibility of a direct connection.
I would love to know more about this?

Hi Colin

This is the only Thomas on the 1851 Norfolk census born before 1800. As you see, his wife is called Maria, so he had either died before 1851 or remarried or they were both living elsewhere.

There isn't a widowed Mary Ann on the census, but there is a widowed Mary.

Re: Henry Quantrill of Stanford 1820-1843

2003-07-01 03:48:18Z

Stanford, Norfolk is by Sturston, correct? My Herbert George Quantrill states he was born in Sturston circa 1865. His father was Robert Quantrill, Gamekeeper (in 1889). Other names in family are Frederick Robert Quantrill, Elizabeth Quantrill. I am just beginning to research this branch of the family and if there are any connections even to the place, I'd love to chat!

Many thanks,

Les

Robert Quantrill

2003-07-01 03:44:08Z

Found a bit more on the Quantrill's of Finchley. Herbert Robert Quantrill's father's marriage certificate of Herbert George Quantrill, Butcher, and Isabel Kate Freeman, Parish of St. Martin Kentish Town in 1889. Frederick Robert Quantrill and Elizabeth Quantrill were witnesses, Robert Quantrill was his father and a gamekeeper.

Looks like Herbert George was born in Sturston, Norfolk. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated as I cannot find them in the 1881 census!!

Quantrill - England - Finchley area - Hugenots?

2003-01-06 23:12:10Z

I am searching for anything on Herbert Robert Quantrill who married Florence Chard in 1913 in Finchley, London area. The family rumour is that the Quantrill's were Hugenots but I have not been able to find anything listed.

Re: CARRIE BELLE YOUNGER?QUANTRILL?

2002-12-01 14:17:53Z

I was saw the same type letter from a g-g-grandaugter of a noted outlaw, who just was not happy that there was interest by fellow members of her family in that aspect of the family. On the other hand there may be nothing to the"CARRIE BELLE YOUNGER?Quantrill?" story. History is an open book and should be read and it is up yo the reader to sort out the chaff. Alan

My Grt Grt Grandmother DID NOT marry into the Younger Family and my family would appreciate it if you would quit spreading this ridiculous rumor! Carrie Bell Quantrell was related VERY VERY distantly to William Clarke Quantrill. When I say distant, we are are talking several generations stemming back to England. Carrie Bell died at a very ripe age, not as a child, and she did marry. There isn't even any proof that Carrie knew WC personally let alone any of his gang. Who is sending you inquiries about my Grt Grt Grandmother?

I can't say this is the right one but it is real strange the responces , last names, claimed relations etc.

Mary Quantrill Hickman

2001-04-09 04:43:29Z

Thank you for replying. No, I am not related to the Quantrill family. I am a native of Springfield, Ohio where Caroline Clarke Quantrill died in the Odd Fellows Home in 1903. I am also a quilter, writer, and very interested in the 2 women in WCQ's family who ended up being footnotes to history. Also, WCQ's aunt (married to one of his father's brothers) Mary may have been written about in the John Greenleaf Whittier poem "Barbara Fritchie" during the Civil War. Just really beginning to research any connection between quilts and female members of the WCQ family. Any info you might like to share or if you want to forward this on to anyone, please do. Thanks, Connie Ark

Mary Quantrill Hickman

2001-04-06 12:26:41Z

How do you know about Mary ? Are you claiming anyway related ?
Are you looking for quilts or graves ?
Mary died in 1865 , Her husband to be, may have served a very short period under Clarke during his original activities. Some blankets and pants were made but most went to support the Confederate Cause.
At the time of his arrest Clarke had a photo of his sister on his person. This was one of the means the Yankees had to identify him.
Mary's death was untimely during the Yankees attempts to unravel the Lincoln assassination.

Can anybody give me information on this person ? I have recieved many strange inquires about this name while doing a Ten year research project on William Clarke Quantrill.
Did she die as a child ? Marry a Younger ? WHAT? The grave I located appears that she died as elderly woman.
I have had some inquire as though they were related but didn't know much.

2001-04-05 12:02:49Z

I have been doing research for TEN years on some folklore about Quantrill. Very unusual but TRUE !!
During this I recieve several e mails looking for Carrie Belle's grave some times some asked about Younger last name attached to her.
I did find some information about Carrie Younger aka Carrie Belle Quantrill. I will be in the graveyard looking for another site next week. I will be glad to look up her grave. I don't know if this is attached to same person you are looking for. But I know beyond a shadow of doubt that it is Attached to William Clarke Quantrill !!!

2001-03-16 08:02:23Z

Iwould like to get in touch with surviving members of the William Clarke Quantrill family to ask about quilts that his sister, Mary, or mother, Caroline, might have made. His sister earned a living sewing and I interested in doing legitimate research on the women in Quantrill's family.

I have a rather odd question for everyone...

Do you, or anyone in your family, past or present, have an odd ear lobe. I believe the term is double lobbed. I always believed mine was a random birth defect. However, in getting some 1800's photos together to scan & send to someone, I noticed the same lobe on an 1800 Quantrell photo.. Its even the same ear. After noticing this, my children noticed that most of the Quantrell photos are taken from the left side..It is the right ear which is affected both on me and in the photo..

Hope we arent the only ones with this condition. Would love to hear from anyone else who has or has had someone in their family with this occurance.

Re: Carrie Belle Quantrill

2001-08-26 22:03:36Z

Hi Dave- we had some short correspondence in this regard back in April & you indicated you were going to get back to me.. Was going thru some 1800's photos to scan & send to someone & it reminded me you were going to tell me about the Carrie Bell(e) Quantrell grave you have found.. I am still quite interested in this, since My great grandmother is the only Carrie Bell Quantrell I am aware of.. I'm also positing a message to everyone due to my photo adventure.. Kind of wierd..
Anyway, please advise of whatever information you have. Oh, by the way, I also located the clipping of Cole Younger's Conditional Pardon.. Its getting quite faded, appears to be from back in Feb 1903.. Guess I'm going to have to try to get it photo copied to keep from losing it..
Please advise of any other Carrie Bell Quantrells
Thanx

Carrie Bell(e) Quantrell

SMcLeod5624 — 2001-08-18 21:30:52Z

David - where did you find a grave for a person of this name??? What years did she live??? and in what part of the country??
My curiosity stems from the fact that I am the great grandaughter of Carrie Bell Quantrell- however, she did not die with the last name Quantrell, as this was her birth name... I have never heard of another one up til now.. As she kept a clipping of Cole Younger receiving amenesty, I do believe she knew him- & my father said her husband said he knew the James boys..
May have no connection at all, but I am curious..

Re: CARRIE BELLE YOUNGER?QUANTRILL?

SMcLeod5624 — 2002-03-09 11:30:12Z

David - its been almost a year since you wrote me & said you would advise me where you found a grave for a person of this name.. You advised you were really busy at the time, but would send the info as soon as you were able.
Are you now in a position to provide this information??
Hope to hear from you soon.
