You know I find it flat, freakin' amazing that every single one of Quantrill's biographers got his birth place wrong. They all state that it was Dover, Ohio while you, and you alone, discovered New York was his home town. What do you attribute that to?

LAZINESS on the part of his "biographers". and NOT checking PRIMARY sources.
the historian of Dover says she thinks his family moved there about a year after his birth.
i'm eternally fasinated about how SLOPPY the research is in many so-called "history books". many writers simply copy an earlier books data w/o checking to see if the data is CORRECT!
