Additional Details:
Dorothy Q,, the younger married a Mr. Taylor: she was grandmother to Oliver Wendell Holmes. Another Dorothy Q was to marry John Hancock, and in 1776 they prepared the room for the occasion (paper still on the wall), but owing to a war then in progress they had to fly for their lives and were married in Philadelphia.
