History of the state during the war, and the lives of her generals; By Whitelaw Reid;
Quartus Gillmore, was born in Hampshire County, Massachusetts, in 1790, on the farm of two undred acres which his father continued for many years to cultivate. This farm was finally exchanged with one of the Connecticut speculators in Western Reserve lands, for a tract of one thousand acres in Lorain County, and, at the age of twenty-one, Quartus Gillmore thus came to be one of the Reserve pioneers. He reached the township in which his father's tract of wild land lay, on the shore of Lake Erie, in 1811, and immediately began his "clearing." He remained on it during the war of 1812, though most of the other inhabitants fled to the interior, and, beforo Perry's victory, the danger to the residents along the coast from British cruisers was supposed to be imminent. In 1824 he was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Smith. This lady was a native of New Jersey, where she was born in 1797. Her father, Mr. Reide, was also a native of that State, but his parents came from Germany. In 1807 the family removed to Lorain County, and at the age of sixteen Elizabeth was married to Mr. Smith. He lived but four years after the marriage; and after seven years of widowhood she was married to Quartus Gillmore, he being at that time thirty-four years of age, and she twenty-six. Neither of them had any advantages of education, save such as could be obtained from the rude schools of the time and place. Both were hardy, vigorous pioneers, and the wife was accounted a beauty. Both have lived to see, in a hale old age, the fame and honors of their first-born.
