346.5e William Heyser QUANTRILL, aka Jesse Duncan Elliott QUANTRILL, b. 25 Aug 1815, MD, m. Mary LANE, d/o Seth LANE. By an act of the Maryland Legislature, W. H. QUANTRILL changed his name to the alias, Jesse Duncan Elliott QUANTRILL, on 30 Jan 1821. Jesse Duncan went to NY to school, returning with two skills; that of a boxer and a writer. A After the marriage to his wife, Mary, he succeeded in removing his wife's trust fund before she was of age , trying to make the bank pay up again, because they did not have the right to release the funds in the first place. With her money, he began a grocery business in Williamsport, Washington Co., MD, which failed. He then went to NY posing as a wealthy VA merchant, and signed for goods to be shipped to Baltimore, MD. He was found out before all of the merchandise was in Baltimore. However, the shippers were not able to recover what had already been received. He went to prison, but was able to secure a pardon and was released. Soon after, he went to St. Louis, MO, was in trouble again, jailed and only got out with the help of his wife. From there they went to Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH, where he was accused of fraud, but before he could be prosecuted, he escaped. By boat he then went to New Orleans, LA, where his wife became ill. They started home up the Mississippi River, where he was again accused of forgery, jailed, and released on bond. He skipped bail, deserted his wife, and moved to PA, where he again was arrested for forgery and jailed. At this point, his wife secured a divorce, for which he responded with threats on her life. Mary Lane QUANTRILL divorced Jesse, and assumed her maiden name of Mary LANE, and secured the custody of a child on 5 Mar 1839, by an act of the Maryland Legislature. However, in 1848, after being in jail or several years, he married a woman from PA. Mary LANE in the meantime, married a Mr. A. Cowton, proprietor of the U.S. Hotel in Cumberland, Alleghany Co., MD. Jesse showed up in Cumberland and attempted to kill his former wife. For this he was returned to prison, then released in 1851, with an agreement that he leave the state of MD, and never return. He then went to Canal Dover, Tuscarora Co. OH, where he engaged in horse trading. He left there, and under assumed names, supposedly married and deserted six women. (FH50 p18-21, MD30, MDALB1 p363)
