Other names for Elizabeth were KELLY, Elizabeth Rose Quigley, Mrs,2 KELLY, Lizbeth R.,1 QUICKLY, Elizabeth,9 QUIGLEY, Catherine 10 and QUIGLEY, Elizabeth R..11
General Notes:
Catherine, probably called after her paternal grandmother, was born on a summer evening in Galston. Her father, James, who had been present, notified the registrar, William Bell, at Galston on 16 June 1856, and made his X mark. Catherine was the name of the mother of James Quigley.
The Catherine Quigley born in 1856 was not listed with the rest of the family in their entry in the 1860 US Census for Clark County in Washington Territory. A child named Elizabeth was listed, of the same birth year. Elizabeth was the name of the child's mother. Then another child was born to this couple in 1862 in Oregon and was named Catharine. She was the first female child to be born after Catherine/Elizabeth. A likely solution is that there was a misunderstanding about the father's registration of her as Catherine, or the name was rejected by her mother, who may have wanted to name her after her own mother. The official registration within the newly introduced statutory system could not be revoked easily, and the child's name was simply changed to Elizabeth. Within one of the Scots traditions of naming of the time the first female child was called after her mother's mother. The second female child was called after the father's mother. Perhaps that's what James Quigley got wrong in 1856!
Elizabeth Quigley was recorded as aged 4 years by the 1860 US census for Washington Territory where she lived with her family at Lake River in Clark County. She had been born in Scotland.

A nephew Walter J Quigley aged 15 years, probably the son of Lizabeth's brother Arthur, also lived with the family. Lizabeth had had three children, all of whom were living.
