as usual, you are wrong! according to the city of NY, he was born in Brooklyn in 1836. his birth certificate is on file there.he was baptised at the old St. John's Church in NYC as well. Quantrell's family moved to Dover when he was a young child.

as for the spelling of his last name, the flag he had made in TX in 1864 spells his name QUANTRELL. one would assume he knew how to spell his OWN name.

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?
