County, OH. He was the eleventh child of HENRY D GORBET

1839 in Clermont County, OH. Her parents were EDWARD
HOLLAND and EVA HESS. After her father died, her mother
married HENRY D. GORBET. QUINCY and REBECCA were step-
sister and brother. Two of QUINCY's other brothers also
married their HOLLAND stepsisters (brother DAVID married
NACKEY HOLLAND and brother DANIEL married JEMIMA HOLLAND).
Quincy enrolled in the Union Army, August 12 1861. He
served with company C, 39th Regiment, Illinois Volunteers.
At the time he mustered in, the following was his physical
description, 5'5" tall, fair complexion, blue eyes, brown
hair. Pictures of QUINCY later showed that he must have
been taller as he towered over his brothers. QUINCY was
stationed in Virginia at a place called Harrison's
Landing. He was unloading heavy crates of hard bread when
they fell from the loading dock and he was ruptured. He
received an honorable discharge, August 16 1862 and
received total disability for his injuries. REBECCA died
around 1870-1875. Its is not known where she is buried.

MALINDA PHIPPS OSBORN. They married November 7, 1875 in
Pontiac, Illlinois. MARGARET was previously married to
ENOCH OSBORN. Her parents are unknown. QUINCY must have
lived or visited California at one time, as he was close
to his brother in Rackerby. QUINCY ADAMS GORBET was a kind
and honorable man. He died February 4, 1891 in Denver,
Colorado. MARGARET died in 1902.
