Quentin Anne Smith (né Doileyrotter) '''was a Belgian artisan craftsman who specialized in metal and wood work. His mother was a seamstress in the town of Cornwallis who took on washing for her neighbors to survive a three year period of poverty her family experienced after the Lesser Potato Famine. Quentin's mother mistakenly added starch to the boiling water she washed linens in in order to to achieve a higher degree of cleanliness, which caused doilies and other fine fabrics to develop a green tinge and rotting odor. She was termed 'Doileyrotter ' and she and her family were run out of Cornwallis. Quentin's father was a chimney sweep. Quentin was purportedly haunted by his last name all his life, until he married Captain James Smith and took his husband's name.'''
