General Notes: Husband - George Quaill
Under the training of his father he received a good education, and was regarded as one of the best informed men of his day, being especially noted for his wonderful memory. He was keenly interested in all political questions of that early day, and was one of the first three whigs to organize that party in Ross township, Allegheny County. Afterwards he was assessor of that township when it included Allegheny city, Sharpsburg, and a large part of the county lying north of the river. He also held other local offices. He was the first singing teacher in that part of the country, and for many years he led in the singing (then called clerking) in the Highlands Presbyterian church, and later for the Fleming chapel, a Methodist Episcopal church. He was generous, almost to a fault, and none were ever turned away hungry from his door or appealed to him in vain for aid in time of distress.
General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Reel
It has been said that she never grew old, but that she retained her faculties to the last. She died at the residence of her daughter.
Notes: Marriage
The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Thomas Patterson, the first pastor of Highlands Presbyterian church, and the wedding took place in "Reel Hall," the house in which Elizabeth Reel was born.
This couple lived to celebrate their golden wedding, May 19, 1875, in the same house where they began housekeeping fifty years before. It is worthy of note that two persons who were present at the marriage of this couple, in 1825, were also present at the golden wedding. They were Mrs. Mary (Quaill) Eakin, of Beaver, Pennsylvania, a sister of George Quaill, and William Jackman, of Bellevue, Pennsylvania.
