This is from the book, <u>A History of the Quarrier, Laidley, Bickers, Eskew and Allied Families</u> by Robert Koenig Eskew. I can't find a copyright date, but the forward is dated 1971. This is part of a longer quote, which was copied from Alexander Laidley's "A Geneological Table and History of the Quarrier Family in America," the book Heather England Turton referred to.
"... I left Edinburgh the last of June, 1768 and went to Glasgow, and remained there till July 1774, when I left Scotland for America and arrived in New York on the 27th of September. From there I removed to Philadelphia, and commenced my business of coach-making. I afterwards moved to Richmond, Virginia. <b>I married Elizabeth Dannenberry</B> in Philadelphia on the 1st January, 1783, who was born in Philadelphia, the 21st March, 1761. By this marriage there was born...<b>Harriet Burns</b>, born in Richmond July 3, 1787...Betsy Dannenberry, September 20, 1797. My wife died in Richmond September 21, 1797..."
