We are safe in calling it English, which has been for many centuries a mixture of all three. Two of our name came from England to America about 1639, Rob- ert and William; their relationship is still undetermined; it is believed that William was Robert's father or uncle; and the particular parishes in England where they were born or whence they departed have not yet been identified. Hundreds of parish records have been searched and hun- dreds remain to be searched. Sooner or later the right ones will be found. The following is supposed to be our line: 1 Henry Quynbie, born near Farnham, county Surrey as early as 1470, half owner of the manor of Freemantle near Farnham; see appendix at the end of the book for results of English research received while this work is in press; had 2 John Quinby, Sr., born no later than 1500 near Farn- ham; his will made in 1557 mentions son 3 Thomas Quinby, born at Farnham, probably about 1530; one brother was Robert, the Bailiff; another was John, the Spanish merchant; he is said to have been (though evidently a generation has been skipped) the father of 4 William 1 Quinby, born perhaps about 1600, who landed probably with Robert^ at or near Salem, Mass., about 1636, and removed about 1639 to Strat- ford, Connecticut, with his sons, Thomas and John (who had a child in 1654 named on Stratford records) ; his son (or nephew) was 5 Robert" Quinby, born perhaps about 1625, who first appears on the Salem records in 1646, evidently over 21 years of age, married about 1656 and named his sons William, Robert, John and Thomas. A full account so far as the records show of the Farn- ham family follows; and the rest of this book gives the lives and descendants of the above mentioned William ^ and 8 The Qdinbt FamhiT Robert". The given names of the children indicate the probable correctness of the foregoing pedigree. It was usual in early colonial times for a man to name his eldest son for his father and his later sons for himself and his brothers.

The Quinby Family COATS-OF-ARMS Much false information has been disseminated about the armorial bearings which appertained to the Quinby family. Bolton's History of Westchester county, New York, unfortunately has widely spread a coat-of-arms that never belonged to any branch of the family, describing them as the "Arms of Quinby of Northcastle" (New York) as fol- lows: or, on a bend sable, three trefoils slipped argent; crest, a cubit arm erect, vested or, with three slashes in the sleeve; in the hand proper a simetar, hilted of the first, blade gutte de sang (i. e., dripping blood). A descendant of William ^ Quinby, being a grandson of Aaron ^ Quinby, has devoted much time to the genealogy of his own line and in his manuscript, which he kindly had copied for me, he described this coat-of-arms as "exactly like the original from which it was copied, by a Quinby relative now dead, a document at Salisbury, Mass., dated Boston, July 23, 1655." The most careful and long continued investigation, in which neither pains, time nor expense was spared, has failed to identify the document or any record of it. This error came about in the following manner: Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary of New England, published sixty years ago, besides mentioning Robert and William Quinby of Amesbury, Mass., speaks of a son of William * Quinby as follows: "Quimby or Quinby, John, Stratford, 1654, had one child born there, but after some years removed, and was one of the patentees of West Chester in 1664, where the family has continued." In accordance with Savage's principle of condensation, he didn't give the location of Stratford, which is in Con- necticut. The unfortunate results have been that Rev. Amos Bolton, who compiled the History of Westchester county. New York, or his informant, perhaps thought Strat- ford-on-Avon, in England, was referred to, famed as Shaks- pere's home. He also knew that the Quiney family of Stratford was famous in connection with Shakspere's affairs Note — The tinctures or colors of coat armor include sable (black) or or argent (silver); or (gold); gu or gules (red); az. or azure (blue). 10 The Quinby PAMiiiT The Quernby and Quarmby arms, Quiney arms wrongly attributed to wrongly attributed to our family. Quinby in the History of Westchester. WWW Arms of Quinborough. Al^ WS/\/V\/ Arms of Quynborow. (The lower two are those which pertained to the ancient family from which said Mr. Morrill in 1856, the Quinbys de- scended, the older coat being the muzzled bears, counterchanged in sable and silver). _ The Qtjikbt Family 11 in the 16th century j from these he guessed that the Quinby name was originally Quiney, but without explaining this mental process, he published the Quiney coat-of-arms (the three trefoils and the cubit arm with bloody cimeter) in his history as that of "Quinby of Northcastle." North- castle is a hamlet in Westchester county, for many years the home of descendants of William' Quinby and his son John^ who came from England and settled at Stratford, Connecticut, about 1639, where they remained from four to ten years, then moved to Westchester county. New York. The reckless statement of Rev. Bolton has caused this coat-of-arms to be copied and borne by many persons named Quinby and Quimby, of course without the slightest warrant. I received only recently from Colorado a letter from a descendant of Robert '', on paper of a pale blue tint carrying an engraved picture of these arms done in silver. This is not the worst result of the error. It caused a very enthusiastic member of the family many years ago, to spend a great deal of money in England in a search for all the descendants of the Stratford Quineys so as to locate the supposititious John who added the letter b and came to America; and others of the Quinby name searched — of course unavailingly — along similar lines for many years. If those efforts had been directed in the true channels we should, no doubt, have now much information that may be lost forever. An office of professional genealogical searchers in Lon- don appears to be responsible for the putting forward of the Quarmby arms as those of our family. They are as follows: argent two bars sable, in chief a Cornish chough, proper. These arms are described as those of the family of Quarmby of Quarmby, near Hothersfield in the wapentake of Agbrig and Morley; the first recorded was Hugh of Quar- meby, living there in 1341, who married the daughter of William Beaumont, Esq. of Crossland. There seems to be strong indication of a connection between that family and the Quernby family of Notting- ham, England, whose arms are very similar, being argent, two bars sable, the one in chief being charged with a mart- let, or. A descendant of William^ Quinby has had a plate made of these arms of which a reduced copy is here given. This he has distributed among the Quinbys as the "only authentic" armorial bearings of the family. However pos- sible it may be that the Quernby and Quarmby families descended from a remote thirteenth century ancestor identical 12 The Qxjinbt FAMibT with ours, certainly neither the Quernby nor the Quarmby arms were granted till these spellings had become fixed and the arms were granted to bearers of those names, after the name of our race had crystallized into Quinby and Quenby; there can hardly be any connection whatever between those arms and any family of Quinbys or Quimbys. It is a curious fact that the only armorial bearings with which the Quinbys and Quimbys possibly have more than a sentimental connection were described sixty years ago in an article by W. B. Morrill, Register of Probate of Rockingham County, N. H., and a famous historian and genealogist, published in the Exeter (N. H.) Newsletter, Aug. 6, 1855. A few sentences from that article have been copied and recopied by members of the family and widely circulated. Subject to possible errors of the copyist, the following is what Mr. Morrill wrote: "the family of Quin- by, Quimby, Quimbury, all of which are derived from the original name of Quinborough, corrupted to that of Quim- bury and finally to Quimby which is now the generally adopted style of writing the name. The progenitor of the family in this country was Robert Quinby, who settled at Salisbury, Mass., June, 1653; married Elizabeth Osgood and had children viz.: Lydia, born at Salisbury, Nov. 22, 1657; William, April 11, 1660; John, July 7, 1665, and Thomas, Aug. 12, 1667. Two of the sons removed to New Hamp- shire and are the progenitors of the family in this state which is both extensive and numerous. There is also a family of the same name in Westchester county. New York, presumed to be a branch of the above. The family is of Norman French extraction, but under the name of Quin- borough resided previous to the emigration to America in Norfolk, England. Coat-of-arms of the family of Quin- borough, Norfolk: Shield indented in silver and sable ground, with three bears muzzled, counterchanged." . Although these arms appear attributed to that family in standard reference books, I have found few particulars regarding the Norfolk family. There were two branches of this Norfolk family, the spelling not exactly alike and who carried a slight difference in their arms; thus: Quynborow, Norfolk: Per fess indented argent and sable, three bears, muzzled, counterchanged; Quinborough, Norfolk, 1716: Per fess indented argent and sable, three bears passant counterchanged. (Pepworth, Dictionary of British Armorials,) p. 155. The explanation probably is, that the earlier coat, evi- dently that of Quynborow, was copied by the author from The QuiNBT Family 13 an earlier book on the subject — say Robson's "British Herald," or Berry's Encyclopaedia Heraldica, which con- tain it exactly. An additional detail to the arms of the more modern family appears in Walter Rye's "Three Norfolk Armories" which he inserts or after "muzzled," thus gilding the muz- zles. He adds: "This coat-of-arms was taken from a MS. in the possession of Mr. Joseph Bokenham, late Fellow of Caius College." From all of which it appears .that if the American Quinbys ever are found to have any right to heraldic in- signia, they are simply three muzzled bears, for the Quinbys are descended from the earlier house, if from either. Cer- tainly the Norfolk family was there early enough to have been forebears of all the Quynborows, Quinboroughs, Quern- bys, Quinbys and Quarmbys. The only time the name is mentioned in Blomefield's History of Norfolk (eleven vol- umes, the standard work on that county) is at page- 272 of volume X., where it is set forth that in the fourth year of Edward III. (A. D. 1331), Roger, parson of Lucham, con- veyed by fine to Osceline de Quinberge and Elizabeth his wife, lands in Whinburgh, Gerveston, Reymerston, West- field and elsewhere. Whinburgh is probably a variant of Quinberge (compare Quarton, later spelt Wharton, and many other similar changes). The only similar names of places which can be identified in the Domesday Index (eleventh century) besides the parishes of Quenby and Quenborough in Leicestershire, are Wemberge in Wiltshire (containing "mol. prat, past." etc.) owned by the Bishop- ric of Wintomenc. (Winchester) ; and Weneberge (" M. Ecclesia, prat., silva") in the Hundred of Wochinges, county of Surrey, owned by Godfrey de Maneville. This last may ultimatelj^ prove significant; see further on, the Quinby family of Surrey. 14 The Quinbt Family SURMISES ABOUT THE FAMILY ORIGIN William 1 and Robert" Quinby the ancestors of the American Quinbys and Quimbys, came from England before 1639, probably to Salem, Mass. There are several traditions of Welsh origin, and there is even a fanciful yarn afloat that the family originated in the Norman city of Quemper in the south of France, whence the fabulist de- rives our patronymic. It is very probable that they were descendants of the well-known Quinby family of Farnham, in the county of Surrey, England, an account of which follows. William* was at Stratford, Connecticut, in 1639 with his son, John", through whom he became the ancestor of the New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania family which includes all the Quakers of the name. It is said he came from Salem with a considerable party of colonists, leaving Robert" at Salem, with others of the family. In order to determine whether or not Quinby, Quimby, or any variant of the name was characteristic of Ireland, I examined leaf by leaf the 2758 pages of Kelley's Directory of Ireland for 1905. This covers every city, town, village, parish and hamlet of the whole island, and includes not only the names of the well-to-do householders, but farmers, the clergy and professional people and many of those per- suing trades, etc. It omits, however, thousands of the names of employees, laborers and what are therein re- ferred to as the humbler classes. Nevertheless, it seems certain that if our name is carried even by a few residents of the Emerald Isle, at least some of them would neces- sarily be included in the directory. The result of the search was that innumerable representatives appeared of the families of Qua, Quade, Quail, Quigg, Quigley, Quin, Quinlivan, Quirk and others, but there was not one single Quenby, Quinby, Quimby or any varying form of our family name in all Ireland. It seems certain that if there ever were any of our name in Erin they must by now have died off or emigrated. This is confirmed by the Special Report on Surnames in Ireland, a British government publication (appendix to the 29th Annual Report of the Registrar General of Births, Marriages and Deaths in The QuiNBT Family 15 Ireland, 1894), which mentions no Quinby, Quimby or variant. There is no other but the English origin for the ex- isting name of Quinby; but families spelling their names Quimby may be descended from a half dozen families which the early census records appear to show, came to the United States from Ireland in the eighteenth century, though census errors are frequent, and there is little con- firmation. In short, those of our name who spell their names Quinby indicate unmistakably their English origin; those who spell their names Quimby leave the matter in doubt. Dr. Watson Fell Quinby's views about the origin of the family name, as expressed in 1891, are interesting. He wrote as follows to Mr. Charles F. Jenkins: "I noticed the other day that thee tried to derive the name Quinby from Quinborough. The Danish termination 'by' is equiva- lent to the Saxon 'ton' or town. The term 'by-law' is so derived. The Danes settled all the north and part of the middle districts of England, and Lincolnshire and the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire are full of the 'by's'. Quinby is Danish and can be found in Denmark probably, or in Scandinavia today. My opinion is that the Danes are of the Hebrew tribe of Dan, which always 'abode in ships' and have never been conquered." B. Frank * Quinby, (John '', Joseph *, Benjamin *, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert^) told I. Franklyn' Quinby (Joseph B. * Joseph '', Joseph ', etc.) "that he had seen or possessed some ancient documents to the effect that the name of Quinby is a corruption of Quimper, a town in France whence the Marquis of Quimper fled at the time of the Huguenot massacre and went to England where his de- scendants were called Quimpery, Quimbury, Quinboro', and so on down to Quimby and Quinby. B. Frank of Boston is dead and his son, George F., may have the par- ticulars." George F., however, does not respond to my letters. Inquiries which Dr. George Augustus Quinby caused to be made through professional genealogists in England resulted in the following speculation, which has been printed and widely circulated: "The Quinby family can lay claim to the respectable antiquity of five hundred years. This family was supposed to have come over to England in the Danish invasion and the surname originated at Quarmby or Quermby near Hoth- erfield in Yorkshire ; ' the first on record was Hugh de 16 The Qudstby Famtly Quarmby (1341). Branches of this family moved to Farn- ham, Surrey, near London." The following facts and theories relating to the Quinby family in England in the early centuries after the Con- quest are set down not in anyway as a final report on the subject. They are merely transcribed field-notes for the use of future investigators. They are of no value in their present form, beyond indicating that our remote forebears were, on the whole, a respectable English family for the times, probably of Norman descent, and were of the class which the entire world at the time firmly believed were immeasurably superior in every respect to the vast ma- jority of their fellow humanity. There is no reason to doubt that we descended from one of two English families which took the name of Queni- borough or Quinibergh, Quenby or Quinby from a village or landed estate of that name in their possession, as is indicated in the early centuries by the universal prefixing in early times, of the particle de. The name was ulti- mately modified in one or two branches of descent to Quinby; and frequently in America then changed' to Quim- by. The name appears never to have been spelt Quimby by any family living in England. The QxnNBY Family 17 THE EARLIEST ENGLISH RECORDS The Leicestershire Quinsy Family Our family name (but of course not our lineage) can be traced back to the year A. D. 686, when Cwenburh (or Quoenburg) was Abbess, sister of Ini (A. D. 688-715) King of Wessex, and of Cuthburh, Abbess of Wimborne (30 Somerset Arch. Soc, 1885). Another account gives A. D. 718 as the year when St. Quinburga founded the nunnery at Wynburn, in Dorset. Her sister St. Cuthburga joined her in this pious work and they were buried there. They were sisters of Tua, King of the West Saxons (John de Tinmuthe, Historia Dursa; Saxon MS. at Benedict College, Cambridge; Hutchins' History of Dorset, III. 183). The names Quenby and Queniborough, perhaps from the pious lady, were given to two hamlets in Hungarton parish in Leicestershire, about eight miles east by north from the city of Leicester and those names and parishes still exist; more likely Quenby, however, is a Danish place name. As will be seen, they as well as the city of Leicester, were the places most thoroughly identified with the names of Quenby and Quiniborough from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries, and were possibly the radiating points from which the family spread east and southeast in Eng- land, and thence to America. The Domesday Book records of Quenby and of the nearby parish of Queniborough, in Leicestershire, made by direction of William the Con- queror, after his capture of England, A. D. 1066, are as follows : "Roger holds of William* five carucates of land in Croptone (South Croxton) and Walter (holds) 2^ carucates of land in Queneberie (Quenby) f and in demesne they have three ploughs and four serfs; and seven villeins with four bordars who have one plough. There (are) 24 acres of meadow. It was worth 15 shillings; now (it is worth) 30 shillings. "In the same vill one Frenchman holds one carucate of land. It is worth five shillings." (Translation and notes, I. Victorian Hist. Leics. 322). *He was evidently tenant under Robert de Todeni. fThis is the Quenby south of Hungarton and east of Leicester. (2) 18 The Quinbt Family "In Gosecote Wapentake, William holds of Geoffrey § in Cuinberg J (Queniborough) nine carucates of land. Eight ploughs were there. In demesne there are two (ploughs) and 28 villeins with seven bordars have seven ploughs. There (is) a mill rendering 10 shillings, and 40 acres of meadow. It was worth three pounds, now (it is worth) four pounds" (id. 347). The Domesday record as amended by the Survey of Leicestershire soon after, shows that Queniborough was a vill of twelve carucates, and Quenby was a vill of six caru- cates. A carucate of land was equivalent to one hundred and twenty acres. Leicestershire was a Danish shire, but Queniborough was Saxon. The survey of the twelfth century says of Queniborough: "In Quenburg (are) twelve carucates of the fee of Belvoir." Of Quenby it says: "In Quenebia (are) six carucates of the fee of Belvoir." The hamlet, called Queniborough, (see illustrations) is part of a manor on which iS a very beautiful and pala- tial Tudor house which was built by the Ashby family in the seventeenth century on the site of a much more an- cient building, and is called Quenby Hall (see illus- trations). Ralph de Quenburg was Lord of the Manor from 1154 to 1189; it appears that one of his family was called de Ashby and the manor passed into his hands and has remained in the Ashby family until the present cen- tury. It was one of this family that named his plantation "Quinby" near Charleston, S. C. Robert de Queneby in 1288 took Thomas de Beby's land at Queneby in Leicestershire; and at about the same period probably, Robert de Queneby and Nicholas de Quenibergh were on the rent roll at Leicestershire Abbey. There are other ancient hamlets of somewhat similar names in England from which perhaps the feudal gentry took their surnames. There are today two such villages in Yorkshire from which came one Quarmby of Huddersfield, the name of the Sir Hugh de Quarmby who is mentioned as living in 1341. We have no certainty of any living descendants of this worthy; a small family of Quarmby, however, is in existence in England and Ainerica with a few members, but they may be descended from the Quernby family of Nottingham. Any other origin of the name of Quarmby today, requires a gap of six centuries to be bridged with IGeoffrey de Wirce, holding under the King. JThia is northeast of Leicester, near the river Wreak.

D. Katon (Adeline Quiiiby.) The QuiNBT Family ' 19 no existing records whatever; while descendants of the Quernbys were having their names spelt Quarmbie on the Nottingham parish registers in the late sixteenth century and after. The other Yorkshire village is in the parish of Queens- bury. A place in Hertfordshire near Buntingford is called Quinbury; and Queenborough is a town and port in the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, founded by Edward III. (A. D. 1322-77) and named in compliment to his Queen, Philippa. We have no indication that any of these places gave its name to any family, mention of which is found on the English records. There are many references to the Quinby- Quenby family running back to the twelfth century in England — within a century after the Conquest by William of Normandy. Norman given-names and the invariable use of the particle de, together with the evident station of the bearers of the name, render it evident that the an- cestral line was Norman-French and came over with the Conqueror. The earliest of the race were recorded before the use of surnames. The fourth of the name, for example, men- tioned in the early archives is Henry de Quenby, described in 1247 as "son of Henry de Babgrave," each so called from the parish in Leicestershire in which he lived. Evidence that the original name of the parish of Queniborough in Leicestershire was Queniberg or Quini- bergh is supplied by the varied spellings by the clerks of the names of their noble but illiterate feudal patrons in the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries — when sound was the guide, and there were no standards of pro- nunciation of the Saxon words by the Norman conquerors and no standards of spelling. The surname of Ralph, who flourished in Leicester- shire and was lord of the manor in the twelfth and thir- teenth centuries, was thus spelt in each of the various documents extant from 1189 to 1204: de Queneburg, Queni- boro, Queniburg, de Quenby. The name of the next Ralph was spelt from 1269 to 1303, de Quenibour, Queniburg, of Queneborough, de Queniborow, de Quenyburg. Swamus of Leicester in 1189 was "de Queninb" on the only record so far discovered. Roger's name in 1227 is spelt on the Merchants' gild roll at Leicester, de Queni- bure. In 1247, Leicestershire, Henry's name was spelt Henry de Quenby. In 1270 John's name appears on the tallage roll at Leicester as de Queniburg. 20 The Quinby Family At Nottingham, a few miles from Leicester, in 1291, appear the name of John, son of Ralph de Querneby. It is possible that this was one of the Ralphs just men- tioned and that this spelling marks the origin of the de- finite use of that form for the Nottingham family. John, lord of Queenbury was hunting in York in 1272, and John de Queeneburg was appointed a member of the posse comitatus for Notts and Derby. In Yorkshire 1285 was Richard de Queningburg. The Norfolk family early adopted the vowel i in the first syllable, as Osceline de Quinbergh and his wife, Eliza- beth, lived there in 1331 (see Arms of the Norfolk family). In the time of Henry III., beginning about 1272, John Lord of Quenbury got into trouble while hunting in York, and he and his family either pleaded, or went bail for those who did; their names were spelt several times de Quenburg, ajid Robert the son of William has his name variously spelt in the records of the affair: de Quenburg, de Quenesby and de Quernby. In 1318 appears John de Quinberg; 1328, John de Quinberge; 1333, John de Queneby in York, son of Elias; 1322, John de Quernby, also in York; in 1324, John de Quynberge was hunting unlawfully in county Norfolk; in 1348, John de Quernby was jousting unlawfully in county York; and in 1354 John de Queniburgh was accused of unlawful acts in Leicestershire. Thereafter, the name of Quynby or Quinby appears in the earliest of the registers and in the probate records of several English parishes; an account of the families taken fron such sources appears elsewhere in this book, particu- larly the families of Farnham^ Surrey; Great ,Wakering, Essex; and Titchfield, Hants. QUENBY Hall, LeICESTERSHIKE, EN(iLAKD. This ancient house, with its predecessors on the same spot, has constituted the parish of Quenby since lief ore the time of William the Conqueror (A. D. 1066) and is named in Domesday, the surrey made by that king. (See p. 21.) Thb Quinbt Family 21 QUENBY HALL Says an account of Quenby Hall in Leicestershire: "In the thirteenth century the convent of S. Mary at Leicester is possessed of the lordship of Quenby, by then a separate vil and manor, and two brothers, Henry de Quenby and Robert le Gierke, quarrel for possession of half a virgate of its land; when the century closes, two hundred of its acres are held by Richard de Ashby, and to his descendants the manor had passed by grant from the crown, sometime be- fore Richard III became king in 1452." Investigation of the Ashby pedigree should show how this Richard de- scended from the parents of the two brothers above men- tioned. The Ashby family retained the property down to the present. One account says that Richard de Ashby had a mes- suage in 1304, before the manor of Quenby was granted to Ashby (IRich. III.) Along side the Hall stands a one-story building of massive masonry; it has "arched doorways, and otlier details, such as a huge open fireplace spanned by a massive oak beam, which hint at an earlier date than the main house," and is no doubt part of the earlier dwelling of the owner of Quenby, possibly of the father of the two brothers, Henry de Quenby and Robert le Gierke above mentioned. It appears that land at Quenby continued awhile longer in the hands of the family which bore the Quenby name as the following records show.

In 1863 Quenby was described as "a hamlet and manor in Hungarton Parish, about a mile southeast of the church, and eight miles E. by N. of Leicester, has only 26 inhabi- • tants and about 600 acres of land, mostly a strong clay, and the ground hilly and well-wooded. It is the property of the Rev. Edward Quenby Ashby of Quenby Hall, a fine old brick mansion upon a lofty eminence, in a large and well-wooded park, near which two rivulets have their sources. The Ashbys have flourished here since the 13th century, but the present hall was built about the reign of Elizabeth. It is substantial, large and commodious, and consists of a centre, with a large and lofty entrance hall, and two side wings, projecting from each front. The win- dows are large, and divided into several lights by stone muUions and transoms. The hall and grounds were greatly improved by the late Shuckburgh Ashby, Esq. in the latter part of last century. The terrace which surrounds the man- sions commands extensive prospects over this and the ad- jacent counties. One one side, the Peak of Derbyshire is seen in the distance; and on the other is a beautiful land- scape of hanging hills, with scattered wood, shelving in to a winding valley. The farm of Quenby Lodge is occupied by Mr. Slaney Jones" (White's Leicester and Rutland counties). Very beautifully illustrated articles on Quenby Hall appeared in XVI. Country Life, 342-8 (No. 400, 3 Sep. 1904) and in XXX., pp. 550, 590 (Oct. 14 and 21, 1911).

The first of the name is found in the Calendar of the Close Rolls (A. D. 1227) and curiously enough is an order to the Sheriff of Nottingham. It shows that thereabouts there dwelt a Querneby of im'portance and standing during the 13th century. I. John de Querneby, born early enough to have in 1291 a son accepted as surety on the bond of one accused of manslaughter. John de Querneby himself went on a similar bond seven years before. The Calendar of Close Rolls under date Carnarvon, 24 July, 1284, gives an order to the Sheriff of Oxford, to cause John de Northeland, imprisoned at Oxford for the death of Robert de Sumeter, slain in county York, to be delivered from prison, as John de Querneby, John de Lung, Henry de Burton and others have mainperned to have him before the Justices at the first Assize when they come to these parts. John de Quern- by was living as early as 1305 at Thorpe Stapleton, parish of Whitkirk, three miles from Leeds (Maddock's Baronia Anglica, p. 290). This son was: — II. William de Querneby, son of John de Quernby; order dated at Wadworth 30 Mar., 1291, directed to the Sheriff of Nottingham, requiring him to deliver Simon de Reresby, imprisoned at Nottingham for the death of Saer de Sutton and Lambert, his brother, who were slain in county Surrey, in bail to Adam, son of Ralph de Norman- ville; William, son of John de Querneby; and others who have mainperned to have him before the Justices at the first assize in those parts. During the years following, Adam de Normanville and William de Querneby main- tained their friendship, for when Adam became "blind and weak," he nominated 8 Mar., 1300, William de Querneby and John de Tribergh as his Attorneys for five years. (Cal. The Quinbt Family 25 Patent Rolls, Westminster), Shortly before the expiration of the term, again he nominated "William de Querneby and Hugh le Clerk of Thribergh" his attorneys for five years. {id., Lincoln, 12 Jan., 1305), and again dated at Blyth 16 Sept., 1307, he nominated William de Querneby his at- torney for three years, (id). The next generation must be represented by III. William de Querneby* who at Leicester, was complained against by Edmund de Dacre, that William de Querneby, John Brown, John Drinkhale and others broke his park at Tatham, county Lancaster, hunted therein and carried away deer, and assaulted William Whithead, his servant; a commission of Oyer and Terminer was thereupon issued to William de Herle and John de Denum, 5 Mar., 1326 (id). To complete the name of William de Querneby in the same century, we mention the following item in Batesons' History of Northumberland, (II., 200). "Four years later (i. e., 1372) we find John of Gaunt, titular King of Castile, ordering his esquire, William de Querneby, the receiver of Dunstanburgh, to repair that castle, and to build in it a new wall, in accordance with the advice of William de Nesfeld, his steward in those parts." And also, " William Querneby was buried, 1384, in the priory of Nostel," county York. (Monasticon Ebo- racense, Burton, p. 312). At the present day there is in Yorkshire, besides Quarmby parish mentioned, another parish known as Queensbury. I. Elias de Queneby, First op the Name. In the Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem, etc., Edward I., no. 483, appears a writ to the Escheator beyond the Trent, dated 10 Feb., 11th Edward I. (A. D. 1283), to extend the Lands, etc., of Robert de Nevill, the King proposing to demise them to Ranulph, his grandson and heir, until his full age, he answering for the yearly value of them at the Exchequer (this is the general heading). In a list of the lands had by feudal tenure, appears a knight's fee in the county of York and parish of Queneby, consisting of one caracute of land held by Elias de Queneby. Elias de Queneby had a son, II. John de Queneby, who appears twice on records so far found, both times described as son of Elias. The first is a bond of recognizance, dated at York, 13 Feb., ♦Compare with the Queniborough and Quenby family at Leicester. 26 The Quinbt Famidt 1328, whereby John, son of Elias de Queneby acknowledged that he owed to William Pedefer, clerk, fifty shillings; in default of payment, levy was to be made on his lands and chattels in county York. Five years later the second document shows that John failed to pay, and William Pedefer, clerk, under date of Tweedmouth, 25 June, 1333, puts in his place, (or grants power of attorney to) Thomas de Knaresburgh and Robert de Roderham "to prosecute the execution of a recognizance for fifty shillings made to him in Chancery, by John, son of Elias de Quenby." Like the two pence given by the good Samaritan, shillings in those days meant much more than they do today. It seems probable that John was the spendthrift son of Elias, and lost the one caracute of land, moved some- where else and was promptly known by the name of the new dwelling place, for there were few fixed surnames in those days. In an authority likely to be erroneous in its early records, appears this item "Sir Robert de Bellomont, who in 31 Edward I. (A. D. 1303) was siezed of the manor of Over Whitley, as well as those of Crossland and Wudders- field, and in the seventeenth year of the next reign (A. D. 1324) was a Commissioner of Array for the wapentake of Agbrig, and Coroner for the county of York, married Agnes, daughter of John de Querenby, (who after Sir Rob- ert's death married Henry Deyville) and had issue" (II. Burke's History of the Commoners, 319). Bellomont is the earlier form of Beaumont. From the location it is evident that the son or next generation to this John Querenby was the first of the fol- lowing line (found by CuUeton) : " Quarmby of Quarmby near Hotherfield in the wapentake of Agbrig and Morley; he bore argent, two bars sable; in chief, a Cornish chough, proper. The next of the family is Hugh of Quarmby, who lived at Quarmby in 1341 and married a daughter of Willaim Beaumont, Esq. of Crossland." It is barely possible that Rev. John de Querneby who became the Prebendary of Stretton in county Surrey was a brother of Hugh de Quarmby. This Rev. John was per- haps a representative of the family whose descendants were the Quinbys of Farnham, county Surrey. Sir Hugh Quarmby. "In the same century, 1341, (reign of Edward III.) Sir John EUand being High Sheriff The Qtjinbt Family 27 of Yorkshire, a quarrel took place between him and three neighboring gentlemen — John de Lockwood, Sir Robert Beaumont and Sir Hugh Quarmby," says Allen, History of the county of York; and adds "Quarmby, in the township of Lindley, was anciently the seat of a family of that name." Further, there was in the fourteenth century a John de Queneby who owned lands in York and was son of Elias de Queneby. The records show several times during the first half of the century a John de Quernby who was a soldier at York; it may be his daughter, Agnes, who mar- ried Sir Robert de Bellomont in 1324. (Rev. John Quernby appears as a pensioner in 1363 while waiting for his appointment, and always is recorded as Querneby, finally in 1397, but he is not identified with county York). "The son and heir of Hugh and (Beaumont) of Quarmby was: William Quarmby of Quarmby, who married Cecilye, daughter of Thomas Copley, Esq. of Batley. Their son and heir was I. John Quarmby of Quarmby. They also had a daugh- ter, II. Joyce Quarmby, who married Henry, the second son of Roger Perkins, Esq." One John de Quermsby was witness to a deed dated Feast of the Natale of John the Baptist (29 Aug.) 1313. The next mention of a Quernby which has so far been discovered, is 40 years later, but it is significant as prob- ably referring to a member of the branch of the family that became prominent in Nottingham. That they are de- scended from the preceding family of Quarmby is evidenced by the similarity of their armorial bearings. A deed of 1437-8 given in I. Earwaker's History of Cheshire, 349, is witnessed by Alexander de Quernby, and others. It related to the town of Stockport^ and by it Thomas de Wetenhale of Alperham grants to Ralph Dodge and his heirs a burgage, called 'le Brokehouse' lying near the rivulet of Stokeport, with two parcels of land in Long- hote near the end "^f a field called Cyslyfield. Witnesses, Simoi Wagstaffe, Alexander de Quernby Dated at Stockport, 16 Henry VI. Then appears in Northamptonshire about 1483, men- tion of one Oliver Querneby. (H. Hist. Northants, Bridges p 70, Sibertoft, list of incum. et temp, institut;. This brings us to an unpublished pedigree prepared by 28 The Quinby Family Mr. William Gilbert, annotating a pedigree in Thornton's History of Notts., which gives the Nottingham Quernby family. THE QUINBYS OF WAKERING iQuinbe: his wife apparently married second, Arkerson, by whom she had Mary Arkerson wife of John Launce, mentioned as sister in John Quinbe's will, 1630. Children, living in 1630: I. John* Quinbe of Much Wakering, Essex (see); II. William'' Quinbe, who died between 3 Jan. and 18 Feb., 1632, at Lee, Essex, unmarried (see will); III. Thomas" Quinbe, born 1611-20; under 21 in 1630. John'' Quinby married Mrs. Elizabeth (Harmon) Rich- ardson, who survived him. John Quinbe is shown by his will to have been a fairly well to do farmer, at Much Wakering, Essex. He died in 1630, his will having been dated 21 May, and proved 20 July, of that year. His will named no children.

Horace Serjeant, the Vicar there, shows no name resembling Quinby on the records. The Qtjinbt Family 29 PUBLIC SERVICE AND HONORS Our name has been borne by a pretty respectable lot of people who have been of service to their fellow-men in quite a remarkable degree, when you consider that Robert ^ has had less than 1600 male descendants of the name who lived to maturity in all the two hundred and seventy years since he arrived here, and John" {William^) far fewer. Among them have been a United States Minister to Hol- land (William E. »), a Governor of New Hampshire (Henry B. '), several Major Generals and other army officers in- cluding Colonels, Majors and Captains in all our wars; several state senators and holders of various important public offices; a large number of clergymen of the Episco- palian, Unitarian, Methodist, Adventist, Freewill Baptist and Universalist denominations; several foreign missionaries; a dozen or more physicians, several of them of remarkable ability; an extraordinary number of editors and publishers, a few lawyers, and several actors, painters and poets. University and college degrees have been numerous; and although none of our people have ever achieved a Ph. D., still, there are at least four LL. D.'s. The A. B.'s, M. D.'s, D.D. S.'s and LL. B.'s are comparatively numerous, though it is curious to note that the large majority of the diegrees have been conferred on the descendants of the twin bro- thers, Joseph ' and Benjamin *, born at Amesbury, Mass., in 1715, who settled in or near Portland, Maine, before the Revolution. THE NAME IN LITERATURE The first literary work we know of by one of our name in America was dictated by the wife of Robert 2, the im- migrant; it was an account of her duel with Simon, the treacherous Indian, at Amesbury, Mass., in 1697. It is set forth in full, some pages further on. The author bear- ing our name whose work is best known was Moses', descendant of William » through John''. His book on bee- culture is a classic and has passed through many editions. Laurie J.' Quinby, the editor of the Omaha Chancellor is the most prolific writer of our tribe, and has a most pleasing 30 The QiuiNBY Familt style, as may be seen from the extracts from his auto- biography which have been included in this work. Rev. George W. ' Quinby published a number of widely read books; Hon. William E.' Quimby was the publisher and editor of the Detroit Free Press for many years; his son, Theodore E.'" Quinby, is a newspaper editor; Fred' Quinby was a poet and editor; Henry Cole^' Quinby was an editor, and has written voluminous genealogical works; Melville G. C.' Quinby published a work on dentistry; Marie Blanche 1", daughter of Hon. Frank P. » Quimby, wrote a series of letters on travel which were printed; Fred H. Quimby has written much verse; Miss Phoebe Adeline* Quinby wrote some charming poems. Mrs. Quimby of East Concord, N. H., is also a poet, and Mrs. George F. Quimby a songwriter; Mrs. Henry Cole'" Quinby has written an authoritative book on Equestrian Monuments of the World. Joseph Bailey * Quinby and his son, Franklyn', have both written long epic poems, some extracts from which appear in this book. Phineas Parkhurst' and his son, George A.*, wrote much; the former on the form of mental healing which his pupil, Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, adopted as Christian Science, and the latter wrote many contribu- tions to the newspapers in a humorous and critical vein which made his work known through New England, especi- ally in Maine, over the pseudonym "Our George." Quinby and Quimby have frequently been selected by authors and playwrights as the names of characters in their works. A popular English authoress whose name I have now forgotten, Mrs. B. M. Croker, perhaps, gave the name of Mrs. Quimby to one of her minor characters — a whim- sical old woman. A military drama entitled: "By the Enemy's Hands," which used to be played by military and veteran organizations occasionally, had a comic character. Corporal Quimby, who was . a stutterer. In the season of 1911-12, a musical farce called "What Happened to Mc- Quirk" was played by the Cherry Blossom troupe at the cheaper theatres, which contained a whole family of Quimbys, played as follows: Jedekiah Quimby Charles R. Crolinus Mrs. Jed Quimby Catherine Linyard Jack Quimby George Clifford Kittie Quimby Lillian Perry Capt. Romeo Quimby Frank Dobson together with ten other characters and a chorus of sixteen. The QmNBY Family 31 Peter B. Kyne, author of "One Day's Work," "A Desert Odyssey" and other magazine stories, published (24 Popular Magazine, 92, N. Y., 1 May, 1912), a story en- titled "A Prophet Without Honor," one of a series in which Judge Quimby is the village justice. "The Finishing Touch," by the well known writer of sea stories, Morgan Robertson, was published in the Popular Magazine (Oct. 1911, p. 204). The hero, an American boy, is called John Quinbey and is a sailor — a remarkable character. The Cavalier Magazine (XI., 339) published a short story in Jan., 1912, by Hugh C. Weir in which Quentin Quinby is the diabolically clever detective; he has clear-cut features, and is introduced to the reader in his black velvet lounging suit, reclining in his rooms on the skin of a jaguar he had shot in Central America, and reading Caesar's Com- mentaries in the original Latin. This story is also one of a series, describing the detective's unusual cases. In a series of comic sketches by Harry Grant Dart, mention is made of the Quimby sisters, proprietors of Maple Lodge, (Met- ropolitan Magazine, Sfept., 1914, etc.) The New York Evening Post published 3 Aug., 1912, a short story by Helen Smith, which contains a Quinby family, including Miss Delia Quinby and Francis, her brother, a college freshman. Thfe New York Evening Sun, 19 July, 1914, printed a short story by L. L. Wittick, in which "poor easy-going Quinby" achieves fortune and the girl of his choice. Miss Helen Green, (now Mrs. Frank Van Campen), the well known writer of tales, humorous dialogues and char- acter-studies, dedicated her book "The Maison de Shine" to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cole Quinby in 1908. She named an amusing minor character, Tertius Quinby Mangle, in a series of humorous dialogues, published in the New York Morning Telegraph about the same year. Never was freer rein given to imagination, says the New York Times (3 Mar., 1912), than in the collaborated work of Arthur Howard Noll and Bourbon Wilson called "In Quest of Aztec Treasure," (Neale Publishing Com- pany). The story begins with the disappearance of one John Quinby Rogers, a high-rolling black sheep belonging to an old and wealthy New England family. When the quiet of the somnolent village was stirred by the arrival of a stranger from Mexico who gave his name as Juan de Q. Rodrigo and dressed the part, no one there suspected that the foreigner was the forgotten Rogers. As the romance is 32 The QtriNBY Family unfolded the reader is led through the mazes of no end of Mexican politics and history. One of the most successful frivolous novels of the spring of 1913 was by Earl Derr Biggers, called "Seven Keys to Baldpate" which was published in February by the Bobbs-Merrill Co. of Indiana, and copyrighted by that firm. Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Quimby of Upper Asquewan Falls, a mythical town located in the northern part of New York state were interesting rustic characters, Mr. Quimby having invented a method of fastening rails together which What Has Just Been Said?

In the course of the novel, the reader gets to know Mr. Quimby very well and is glad that at last one of the railways which had promised to test his invention and had finally smothered it, promises to give it a real trial and the reader closes the book satis- fied that fame and fortune are shortly within reach^of Elijah and his wife. This novel was dramatized by George M. Cohan, and played at the Astor theatre, New York city to enormous houses, during the season of 1913-4, and afterwards throughout this country and England. The The Quinbt Familt 33 part of Elijah Quimby was played by Edgar Halstead; Mrs. Quimby by Jessie Graham. It is an extraordinary circumstance that the members of our family should have competed successfully in the two most celebrated literary competitions of recent years, one offered by the New York Evening Mail, the other by Life (New York). The former was a contest to determine the names of books represented by pictures published daily for several months in 1914. It was known as the Book Lovers' Contest among the fifty thousand readers of the Mail. The second prize ($750 in gold) was won by Frederick Foster 11 Quinby, of Orange, N. J., in June, 1914. The first prize, of $500, in Life's Picture Contest, was won in May, 1915, by William P. « Quimby of Philadelphia, Pa. The contestants numbered many thousands, each proposing the words to accompany a certain picture, which, with Mr. Quimby 's winning dialogue is here reproduced from page 852 of Life, (13 May, 1915). Life misspelled Mr. Quimby's name. (8) 34 The Qotnby Family THE FAMILY NAME Applied to Towns, Natural Objects, Etc. Quenby, near Leicester, England, is elsewhere de- scribed, as is Quenby Hall. That estate had long been in possession of the Ashby family, a member of which came to South Carolina and settled there. "Quinby," on the eastern branch of the Cooper River in South Carolina, about sixty miles above Charleston, is thus described by Dr. Irving in "A Day on the Cooper River" (Charleston, 1842): "Opposite to Bossis and ad- joining Longwood (plantations) is 'Quinby.' This place was originally owned by the ancient family of the Ashbys. An ancestor, the great-great-grandfather of our highly respected fellow citizen, Thomas Ashby, Esq., coming out from England, having first settled it, called it after his family estate in that country. The name was originally written Quenby. From the Ashby family it passed into the hands of Richard and Thomas Shubrick. It must have been so owned during the Revolution, for in the campaign of 1781, it is spoken of as Shubrick's plantation. It was here that Lieut. Col. Coate's command, consisting of 500 infantry and 100 'cavalry was attacked by Lieut. Col. Lee with the Legion and Lieut. Col. Hampton with the State Cavalry. Generals Marion and Sumter coming up with reenforcements continued the engagement. The Americans killed and wounded upwards of forty of the British and took one hundred and forty prisoners, besides large quan- tities of baggage, several wagons and above one hundred horses. The men who were killed were buried by the road lining the hill that leads from Quinby Avenue to Quinby Bridge. In 1802 Mr. Roger Pinckney purchased the prop- erty." Quinby, Va., is a small village in Accomac County, lying at the head of a peninsula jutting out into the At- lantic ocean, but protected from the Atlantic by two small islands known as Revels and Hogg islands. The other side of the peninsula is bounded by Machapongo creek, which runs down from Accomac. Quinby, Va., is reached from New York city by the Pennsylvania railroad to Cape Village of Quinbt, Va.

The nearest railway station to Quinby is Pahiter, Va., four miles distant. The principal house at Quinby is the old mansion formerly belonging to the Up- shur family and acquired by inheritance by Upshur B. Quinby, a descendant of John" (William^), and for many years known as the Quinby mansion. It is surrounded at the present day by the old slave out-houses and wide- spread cultivated lands, which constitute the Quinby plantation. It was purchased some years ago by Frederick P. Piatt, the well known architect of New York city, who has made it his permanent country home, and has made many restorations upon the place. Quinby, Cal., is a post oflSce in Trinity county for the hydraulic mining plant of the New River Mining Co. It was named for Cyrus W. « Quinby, a descendant of Robert ". The post office, store, company offices, barn, bunk-house, cook-house and the like, constitute the settlement. The store carries a stock of about $5000 worth of merchandise. Qufmby, Iowa, is a post office and village of about four hundred inhabitants, established in 1888 and named for Flavins W. ' Quimby, then Division Superintendent of the Illinois Central R. R. Besides the foregoing there are post offices of the name, in Maine, Louisiana and other states. Quimby, Michigan, was named for Ichabod L. Quimby. There are also several streets and avenues in various towns bearing our family name. The Quinby avenues, in the Bronx, New York city, and in Cleveland, Ohio, were named for descendants of John^ (William^); Quinby street, in the city of Laconia, N. H., was named for Henry Brewer' Quinby, a descendant of Roberta Quimby street in Grand Rapids, Mich., was named for Ichabod L. Quimby Quimby avenue, Lowell, Mass., was probably named for Alonzo P. (Benjamin M., James). Quimby street in Port- land, Oregon, was named for Lot P. W. Quimby. There are Quinby Blocks, business structures, in Wooster, Ohio, and at 5511 Euclid avenue, Cleveland, Ohio; at Bucyrus, Ohio, named for George'; and The Quinby, an apartment house, and Quinby avenue in Cleveland, were all named for descendants of John^ (William^). Quinby Hall at Stroudwater, Me., was named for Thomas ' Quinby, and contains his portrait, suitably inscribed; Quinby Hall, a New Hampshire state building at Laconia, N. H., is a handsome brick structure with a bronze tablet setting forth that it was erected during the incumbency of Governor 36 The Qtjinbt Famii,t Henry B.» Quinby. Quimby Theatre at Zanesville, Ohio, is run by W. C. Quimby, but as he won't answer letters, I can't say whether he is a descendant of Robert^ or John^ Lot P. W. is the Quimby for whom the Quimby Hotel, 29 Fourth street, Portland, Oregon, was named. There is a Quimby Field, used for baseball, at Augusta, Me. Several natural objects bear the family name. In Sharon, Vt., is the well-known Quimby Mountain, in height 1699 feet. In Lake Paugus, an arm of Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire (town of Meredith) was an island, now a mere ledge above the surface at high water, called Quimby Reef. Stratford, Connecticut, was the first Amer- ican home of the immigrant William ^ and a projec- tion of land there is known from him as Quinby's Neck. Quinby Hill, at Warren, Ohio, is on the western side of the Mahoning river; on top of the small hill stands the old-fashioned Quinby home, where lived Capt.

Quinby creek in Trinity county, California, was named for Cyrug W. * Quinby, a native of Maine. The Quinby Family 37 THE STORY OF THE WRITING OF THIS GENEALOGY This is the story of the creation from official and per- sonal records of a history of an American family, members of which have lived and had children in nearly every State in the Union. Although a member of the New England Historical Genealogical Society for twenty years, I had worked simply on the ever doubling list of family names that constitute one's direct ancestors in all lines, without following down the collaterals at all. About 1904, I printed the single threads that ran back to the immigrants of 1640 or thereabouts in the collective immigrant ancestry in male and female lines of my own family. The number of inquiries received for connecting links from ladies who wanted to prove descent from colonial soldiers and the like astonished me. Not one gave grand- parents, but thought I should know. I decided that I would know, and that is how this came to be a genealogy, the early generations of which were compiled from prac- tically every source of information there is in America. This is the first family history which has utilized all these existing sources of information regarding early generations. To write a genealogy as completely as possible, several preliminaries are almost mechanical; a loose leaf system of binders — say twenty of good size, each capable of holding at least two hundred pages of punched paper, the tougher the paper the better; five thousand sheets to fit the binders — letter size is best. Each page should be inscribed at the top with the head of a branch of the family, with ancestry italicized (in parenthesis) and numbered consecutively back to the immigrant. After the data aboftt him and his wives, the children should then be set forth consecutively, with Roman numerals to the left, and a consecutive serial num- ber if the child is to be given a page later on. The second mechanical requirement is an oak cabinet with drawers, say six, capable of holding as many thousand small cards, three inches by five. These cards would better be in var- ious colored thin cardboard, two thousand to a tint for descendants of different immigrants of the name, or of different sons or grandsons of the only immigrant of the name. 38 The QIuinbt FamujY Every time a punched page goes into a binder, every name on it with year of birth, marriage and death, male ancestry, whom married, and places, so far as shown, must go on the cards — one card to a person whether son, wife, infant, or head of family. The cards should be arranged alphabetically by initial of given name and year of birth. About fifteen thousand cards were needed for the entire Quinby-Quimby genealogy. Provided with this, and having through Savage, the N. E. Historic-Genealogical Register and nearly all other printed sources applied the foregoing, I sent to one of the big directory companies that keeps a library of the late directories of all the villages, towns, counties and cities — not to mention telephone companies — that publish them, and paid what they charged for a list with date of direc- tory, name of town or village, occupation and address of every one of the name of Quinby and Quimby — giving the several possible spellings. The printed circulars asking for ancestral and other particulars which I had already prepared, I sent to all the addresses received from the directories, enclosing an envelope (stamp impressed, not pasted) addressed to myself in letters so large and black that no reasonable sized paster would enable the envelope to be used for any other purpose. Ten per cent, perhaps, came back, filled out. With this material the punched paper began to go into its binders and the card index to fill up. The directories do not include one-tenth of the possible names; and of course, those given are only of the present generations. Next, everything from the genealogical books was collected, starting wfth Munsell's Index and having exhausted its references, the town histories, regimental histories, every volume of the Massachusetts vital records — a hundred and fifty volumes in the latter series alone. New Hampshire is the only state that has required all its town records from the earliest times to be copied and lodged at the capital. I sent therefore to the Bureau of Vital Statistics at Concord, N. H., for all records of the name, birth, marriage and death, and obtained the same from Boston for Massachusetts towns as far as available. On inquiry of their respective secretaries of state I learned that there was no law requiring the deposit of vital records at the state capital in Vermont at all, nor in Maine beJfore 1881; and that town clerks' records in those states had been kept very casually as a rule, and often none of the earlier ones could be found. The Quinbt Family 39 It then appeared that the only sure way of leaning what towns to send to, was by an examination of their cen- sus reports. It was evident that the method in common use in compiling genealogies was to select the ancestor and then grope down through the years for his descendants. This is obviously an unscientific way. There is one source in this country of definite facts as to all persons of any selected name in existence at one time — the original manu- script reports turned in by the individual census enumera- tors. They are still preserved in the Census Bureau at Washington. There was room for but one new desk avail- able in that building, and an arrangement was made for it to be used by Mrs. Julia S. McAllister, of 940 K St., N. W., Washington. She worked for many months on the census reports for 1810, 1850 and 1860. Those years were selected for the reason that the earliest census reports (1790) of many of the states are printed, giving the names of the individual heads of families by towns. In 1810 these families had spread through a wider region. The reports of 1850 and 1860 contain much information omitted in early reports — names and ages of all children as well as of parents, for instance. Mrs. McAllister's keen eyes must have observed at least ten million names which yielded only a few hundred Quinbys and Quimbys, but when her task was finished, we had an itemized list of names, ages, occupations, birth places and residence, with other information, of every individual, male and female, of the name living in this country in 1810 and of those living in New England, New York state. New Jersey, Dela- ware and Pennsylvania in 1850 and 1860, The Pension Bureau was also attacked and the rec- ords from the French and Indian Wars, that of 1812 and the Mexican War, were collated. The records of the Patent Office and Bureau of Copy- rights were also obtained. The Adjutant General's reports of Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire gave the Civil War records in minute detail, and are accessible in print. The voluminous Massachusetts and New Hampshire archives were also searched, the latter by Miss Etha Sar- gent, Concord, N. H. While this work was going on it became evident that there were two pre-revolutionary sources of the family, one from Robert at Amesbury, Mass., and the other from William at Stratford, Conn, (thence to Westchester and 40 The Quinbt Family New Jersey); and some lines from both these immigrants are included in this volume. The court records of the colonial period at Salem, Mass., had never been arranged or indexed, and I ob- tained the services of Miss Martha T. Pond who set to work to examine them from the earliest times. She spent many months at the task, drawing off copies of all docu- ments pertaining to the family name. Lack of room prevents more than alluding to the subscriptions to clipping agencies which sent in hundreds of notices from newspapers all over the country; the searches of all the records of the Quaker meetings in the United States; the records of deeds and mortgages, probate and administration; the personal letters to the county judges of each of the eighty or a hundred counties apiece which carry the meagre vital records in the mid-western states; the thousands of reply postcards sent after the circulars to the Quinbys and Quimbys all over the country, and how nine out of ten recipients preferred to use the stamp on the return envelopes and cards for some other purpose; the thousands of miles travelled in automobile to gather graveyard records (see the photographs) and finally the numerous trips through England with motor car and camera, and the hundreds of halftone blocks made of people and places. One Mr. Morrill wrote a history of families of Ames- bury, Mass., fifty years or so ago, including that of Quinby, which was completed ready for the printer when the author died. His manuscript came into the possession of a Morrill relative who keeps it locked in the vault of a bank in Amesbury, never having examined it himself and refusing with the most diabolical obstinacy to allow it to be ex- amined by others. An offer of fifty dollars cash to give his wife as a Christmas present for a look at the Quinby article only, he refused. This crude proposition I made only after months of njore diplomatic efforts had failed. He grinned shrewdly and said he calculated his wife didn't need no Christmas presents beyond what he give her; and said that when he got round to it he thought he'd get the book out and look it over some day with a view to getting it printed. It is a hundred to one that so far as the Quinbys are concerned it contains no fact not already in print in the monumental work of David W. Hoyt, "Old Families of Amesbury and Salisbury." During this time the circulars which had been sent to Acquiring Data for this BtoK. (See p. 40.) The Quinby Family 41 every name found in the various directories throughout the United States were coming in. Several of them mentioned an ancient Quinby-Quimby chart which must be still in existence. After a widespread correspondence I located it in the possession of Mrs. Oliver T. Fox (Caroline J. Quimby), of Nahant, Mass. It was compiled by her father, Rev. Hosea Quimby, D. D., about 1830; she loaned it to me. The chart itself is on many ^heetfe of brown paper firmly backed with linen cloth and is about four and a quarter by six feet in size. It con- tains a number of errors, some of importance, which have been corrected by reference to the vital records, but on the other hand it defines a large number of relationships which would otherwise be unknown. It will be observed that nearly all of the descendants of Aaron Quinby now fepell their name Quimby; these are the Sandwich, N. H. and Lyndon, Vt., families, which are reserved for another volume. The family of Dr. E. Q. Marston, a famous local his- torian and book collector, of New Hampshire, loaned me a copy of a manuscript prepared by him during the middle of the last century which was largely devoted to one branch of the Quinby family. The habit of saving clippings about the name, became useful. References appeared to a largely attended reunion of the New Jersey ai{d Pennsylvania Quinbys which took place near Raven Rock Station, Bucks county, Penn., 18 June, 1891. Mr. C. F. Jenkins, one of the publishers of the American Farm Journal, Philadelphia, Pa., who had got up the reunion and published several articles in the Doylestown (Pa.) Intelligencer on the family and the cele- bration, sent me his entire correspondence on the subject — a large box of letters. Mrs. Ella R. Beebe, the wife of a well-known banker, living at Ravenna, Ohio, had corresponded with every per- son named Quinby she ever heard of for over thirty years, and she too, was kind enough to send me a large box con- taining the letters she had received during that time. Mr Charles F. Andrews, formerly on the editorial staff of the Evening Post (New York), but who afterwards lived at Boulder, Colorado, had worked out his mother s line of descent from William' Quinby, the original immi- grant, of Stratford, Conn., and Westchester, N. Y., and had a large amount of material. He was kind enough to forward all his manuscript and notes, which are of great value to the completeness of the work. 42 The Quinbt Pamilt Another who had investigated the genealogy of branches of the descendants of John* {William^) who wrote me very fully, was Isaac Q. Gurnee, Esq., of Butler, N. J. Mrs. Adeline Quinby Eaton, Boston, Mass., had at one time commenced a compilation of the descendants of Robert, and had visited England in a search for his an- cestry. She and Mr. Fred E. Quinby, of Dover, N. H., did not hesitate to turn over all the material they had gathered; others who were interested in one or another off- shoot from the same stalk, and wrote me very fully, were Rev. Silas E. Quinby, Bellefonte, Pa.; Thomas W. Quinby, Haverhill, Mass., and Mrs. Charles E. Quinby, Westbrook, Me. And to all of them as well as to many others whom I cannot here enumerate, posterity will have a debt of gratitude for their shares in collecting data which otherwise would assuredly have been lost. HOW TO USE THIS BOOK The arrangement of the genealogy is on the plan advo- cated by the New England Historic Genealogical Society of Boston. The males of the family name are numbered consecutively from 1 William ^ the immigrant, (first gen- eration) down to the youngest of the descendants of the name in the present generation — the eleventh. The little figures after each given-name show the number of the genera- tion from William ^ The name of the head of each family or branch is followed in parenthesis by his entire ancestral line, printed in italics (in parenthesis) so that if you wish to find the lives of your own ancestors back to William*, you find your own name in the index at the end of the book and turn to the page mentioned. Thus, for example, your name is Henry C.'". You find from the index that your page is . On that page you find: "1239 Henry C. '" (Henry B. », Thomas^)" and so on. By turning back to where 1239 appears in regular order, you find Henry C.'s father, Henry B. », numbered 843. Turn back to where 843 appears first, and you find it under "478 Thomas' (Moses ^, John ^)" and so on. You may thus follow any line gen- eration by generation back to William S or Robert*, the immigrant ancestors. The Quinbt Family 43 THE QUINBY FAMILY OF SURREY In the Domesday Index (eleventh century), Weneberge (i. e., Quinboro'?) in the Hundred of Wochinges, county of Surrey, is mentioned as belonging to Godfrey de Maneville. The first person appearing as a resident of, or con- nected with the county of Surrey, England, who bears a name sufficiently like ours to be of interest, is the Rev. John de Querneby, who was in Surrey until about 1397 and perhaps later. From the facts that he was named John and was a clergyman, and held several church posi- tions of considerable importance, it is conceivable that his father was a prominent and influental man, and that it was his family which continued to hold a place in Surrey for about a hundred years, until we come to Henry Quinby who must have been born before 1475 and who married Florence Balch of Farnham in Surrey. The intervening period is a blank, so far as concerns records yet discovered. The spelling of Rev. John de Querneby's name, and the fact that as a younger son he would not have ap- peared on the Quernby pedigree, make it not wholly im- possible that he was the son of the before mentioned Hugh of Quarmby. But it is quite likely that all three surnames represented different families. Rev. John de Querneby appears on the records of the Close Rolls first under date of Eltham, 1 Apr., 1363, in an order to the Archbishop of Dublin to grant to John de Querneby such yearly pension as shall befit the giver, and should bind the receiver to him, causing thereupon letters patent under his seal to be made and delivered to the said John; and writing again by the bearer what he will do upon this request, as by reason of his new creation the Archbishop is bound in such a pension to one of the King's (i. e., Edward III.) clerks at the King's nomination, until he shall make provision for him of a competent benefice; and the King has nominated the said John, whose advance- ment the King has at heart. The foregoing astonishing document, so highly charged with evidence of the special favor of the King, was no doubt followed by John's appointment to some churchly post; but no further orders appear for sixteen years. Then in the Patent Rolls in the Public Record office in London, dated Westminster, 18 Nov., 1385, we find what royal 44 The Qiuinbt Family favor — if nothing else — had done for him. The patent ratifies "the estate of John de Querneby in the Chancellor- ship and Prebend of Lambister in the Collegiate Church of Abergwylly in the diocese of St. David's; in the Prebend of Wodeburgh in the Collegiate Church of Southwell; and in the Prebend of Stretton in the King's Free Chapel of Pencrich." It is obvious that John de Querneby may have been exercising the functions and receiving the emoluments for some time before the issuance of the patent "confirming" them; and we find in the Patent Rolls five years earlier — dated Westminster 12 Feb., 1379 — evidence of it, in the shape of a "pardon to Richard Murymon of Pencrich for not appearing to restore twenty marks to John de Querneby, Prebendary of Stretton, in the King's Chapel of St. Michael the Archangel, Surrey." Finally, the name of the individual, the mention of the King and of the county indicate identity with the John Querneby who was pardoned 24 Oct., 1397, "for leaving the King's service at Southwark, Surrey, before the time agreed upon." (Pat. rolls). First Arranged Generations op Qthnbys in England The Quinbys were settled at Farnham in county Surrey, England, at a very early date. Henry Quynby married Florence, daughter of Richard Balch, of Farnham, before 1495, and quite possibly was born forty years earlier. We find Balch's will (Vox, 21) in Latin, dated 12 May, 1495, proved 27 May, 1495. The Essex Institute Historical Collections (XVII. 1) contain an abstract of it. He directs his body to be buried in the ancient chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary within the parish church of St. Andrew of Farnham next the body of his father. He leaves to Matilda, relict of William Balche a tenement in which she is living, for the term of her life and after her death to Nicholas Balche, son of the said William and Matilda and his heirs and assigns. Other legatees are his wife, Isabella; daughter, Florence (wife of Henry) Quynby, and John and Margaret Balch, children of the aforesaid William Balch. Thomas and Edmund Palmer and Wm. and Alex. Cooke are also mentioned. The following docu- ment quite likely refers to the above Henry Quinby. The amount he demands, eight pounds, was of vastly greater value than it is today. i Harry Quynby.

No answer filed. 1. 1 Quinby (perhaps the above Henry) was probably born near Farnham, in Surrey, as early as 1470, (less than seventy-five years after the record of Rev. John de 'Querneby's pardon). Unfortunately the parish registers at Farnham do not begin till the year 1539; no Quinby records are found on them for the next dozen 46 The Quinbt Familt years. The children of this Quinby patriarch certainly in- cluded : 2. I. John' Quinby, Sr., born no later than the year 1500 (see); II. * Quinby, born probably before 1500; married a Mr. Fig, and had Robert and Thomas Fig; the latter was father of several children in 1557 and they are legatees of John^ Quinby; prob- ably another son or step-son was: 3. III. Richard Alynb* alias Quinby; born not later than 1500 (see); The facts that John Quinby, the Martyr, was of the Farnham family and that he must have been about twenty years old or so in 1528, lead to the conclusion that his father was another son here, thus: 4. IV. ' Quinby, born probably about 1480 (see). 2. John' ( 1), born probably before the year 1500, near Farnham, Surrey. Our only information concerning him is contained in his will, dated 30 Aug., 1557. He died between that date and 12 November, the same year, on which day his will was proved at London. As in the will he says: "I forgive my brother-in-law Nicholas Turner the money he oweth me," and mentions his wife, Jane, his wife was probably Jane Turner. He was a man of means, and was a devout churchman, for he left con- siderable sums to the church and the parish poor. He had real estate, some of which he gave his "daughter-in-law Elizabeth Quinbye" for her life; other property he charged with an annuity to his son Anthony. Items in his will show that his social condition and associations were high. He names his sons: Robert, who is to have all of his lands and household goods after the death of Robert's mother; Anthony, whom he expects to become a priest, is his next eldest son, and Thomas his third son. His son John^ Quinby, Jr., had died unmarried the previous year in London, and there had been difficulty in getting pos- session of his son's goods left in Spain, so that Mr. Quinby wanted proper steps taken to obtain them. The wife of John Quinby was named Jane, as appears from the History of Farnham by Rev. R. N. Milford, M.A., domestic chap- lain to the Bishop of Winchester. Farnham castle has been the official residence of these bishops for centuries and Mr. Milford's position enabled him to examine the records of the bishopric and parish, many of which pertained to The QuiNBY Family 47 temporal affairs. The table of contents of Rev. Mr. Mil- ford's book summarizes the matter in the respective chap- ters. Among the contents of chapter II. are indexed "notices of John Quynby and Jane his wife." Unfortunate- ly these notices do not appear in the body of the book, and remain to be rewritten some day, by a future investigator fortunate enough to have access to the records. From the will of John', Jr., we learn the names of John^ Sr.'s daugh- ters, Catherine, Elizabeth and Audrey. John=' mentioning in his will "lands I have given my daughter-in-law Elizabeth Quinby for her life;" and else- where giving "my son Thomas 40 shillings and my daugh- ter, his wife, 40 shillings" leads to the reasonable con- jecture that the daughter-in-law Elizabeth was perhaps not his son Thomas' wife, but the widow of a previously de- ceased son of John', whose name has not come down to us. Children of John^ and Jane Quinby: 5. I. Robert' Quinby the Bailfif of Farnham; born per- haps about 1510-20 (see); 6. II. JoHN» Quinby, the Spanish merchant; born about 1520 (see); 7. III. Anthony' Quinby, the priest; born perhaps about 1530 (see); 8. IV. Thomas' Quinby; born probably about 1530 (see); V. Catherine' Quinby; by 1556 she was married and had four children living; VI. Elizabeth' Quinby; by 1556 she was married and had one child, as we learn from her brother John»'s will; she is evidently the EUzabeth Quynby who was married at Farnham 29 April, 1554, to William Mollynos; this is corroborated by the remark by her father, John' Quinby, in his will in 1557: "I for- give WiUiam MuUeners the debts he oweth me;" VII.

(P. C. C, 46 Wrastley). (Proved at London, 12 Nov. 1557). 3. Richard Altne^ alias Quinby ( 0> born at least as early as 1500, died at Farnham, Surrey, and was buried 20 Apr., 1566; the record on the parish register mysteriously calls him "Richard Alyne al° Quinby" — mean- ing alias Quinby. The "Margaret AUin otherwise called Mother Quinby" who was buried 31 Dec, 1570, at Farn- ham was presumably his wife; may, however, have been his mother, if she had married an Allen, after the death of 'Quinby. This simple supposition regarding the meaning of this double surname is not sufficient in the light of the fact that "Thomas Allen alias Quinby" died in 1582. Thomas and Richard Allen are legatees mentioned in John 2 Quinby's will, 1557; to the former he left 20 shillings and to the latter his furred coat. Richard Allen was one of the witnesses. His, probably, was the "Elizabeth, dar. Papjsh Church of St. Andrew's, Farnham, containing the tomb of Eobert Quynby, 1570. (See p. 51.) The Raised Market House ix Castle St., at Farnham, in which Eobert Qnyniiy hehi court at Burgess in 1566 (demolished in 1863; photo, taken in 1850)." (See p. 50.)

Thomas' Allen alias Quinby, to whose widow Juliane Allen alias Quinby, were granted 14 Feb., 1582, letters of administration on his estate; he was a resident of the parish of St. Savior's, South- wark, Surrey. Note — The word alias with another surname was used where a man added his mother's surname or the name of some benefactor. The mother's or even in some cases the wife's surname was added where she was an heiress. 4. '^ Quinby ( 1)> born probably about 1480 and a member of the family resident at Farn- ham, in Surrey. Nothing is known about him and he is given space here merely because there must have been a father of John' Quinby of Farnham who was starved for religion's sake while probationary Fellow at Oxford Uni- versity and died in the tower of New College there in 1528. 9. John* Quinby, born about 1500-1508 (see). Robert, the Bailiff 5. Robert' Quinby (John^, )^ was born about 1510-1520, probably at Farnham, Surrey. He was a man of great distinction in his day at Farnham, and in 1566, upon the granting of a charter to the town by Bishop Home, he was elected the junior of the two initial bailiffs. His occupation was that of clothmaker. J. W. Wright, Esq., the clerk to the Farnham Urban District Council in 1911 reports that the only books of records of the Bailiffs and Burgesses are as follows: Bailiffs' minute book, 1566 to 1583; ditto, 1606 to 1666; bailiffs' account book, 1604 to 1778. "They are in excellent condition. A preliminary (4) 50 The Quinby FAitn^Y search shows that Robert Quinby was one of the bailiffs in 9th Elizabeth (A. D. 1567) and was for some consider- able time afterwards one of the governing body of Bailiffs and Burgesses. He is described in places as Robert Quyn- by, gent. I can only trace one reference in the minutes of transactions to him, which has reference to a bond he gave for some one." Rev. R. N. Milford in "Farnham and its Borough," says: "Stephen Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester, in the year 1551, was tried before a commissioa, of which the Archbishop of Caaterbury was the president, upon various charges, and amongst others that he had not supported by his teaching and doctrine those changes which had lately taken place in religion and politics. To meet which charge he calls witnesses to prove the contrary, exhibits several articles in justification of himself, and amongst them, that, when delivered out of prison in February, 1558, in a sermon made at Farnham in the way to Winchester, he did exhort the people to obedience in this form:^ — 'To conform their wills, in the exercise and ceremonies of religion, to the superiors' order, and to think that best which they ap- pointed to be done and used, wherein they should show their humility and judgment.' "To prove the truth of this he calls several witnesses amongst whom are the vicar and curate of Farnham, also Robert Quinby, clothmaker; Robert Braborne, clothier; John Hardy, gentleman; and John Reade, chandler; be- sides a long array of his own servants. "Robert Quinby, the junior bailiff, was examined in 1551 as to Gardiner's sermon. He deposes, 'that the Bp. was loth to offend, for the said Bp. tarrited a great space when he came to the prayer before the sermon, waiting for a book, which the vicar brought to him.' "The first bailiffs and burgesses after the granting of the charter in 1566, were nominated in the charter by the Bishop of Winchester, and at this time the town hall, afterwards called the market-house, (destroyed recently) was built (see illustration). It was in this building that the Corporation held their tri-weekly courts. The names of the first court, held 30th September, in the eighth year of Queen Elizabeth, 1566, were: Bailiffs John Clark Robert Quynby Palace or the Bishops op Winchester, which Eobert Quynby saw daily from Farnham until 1570.

But in the earliest accounts the greatest care of the Corporation appears to have been di- rected towards the price of beer and the weight of bread. "The earliest account we have of the various ways by which the Corporation obtained their yearly income, is given in the year 1604: — Dewes which hath been acostomly payed to the baylleffs of the borough and towne of ffaern- ham, beyond the memory of any man that now liveth, as aniail rents always retained, as followeth: — for the borough rent 42s. 3d. for the 4 Inns 28s.

His widow, Jane Quin- 52 The Qdinbt PamhiT by, died 26 Jan., 1582. Their children are not named as such in any record; but John' Quinby's will, 1556, leaves twenty shillings each "to the five children of my brother Roberd." The following entries appear on the Farnham parish register, and are evidently the children of Robert: I. Mart* Quymbte married John Miller 27 Aug., 1571; mentioned as sister in Edward's will, 1612; II. Elizabeth* Qtjtnby, married Thomas Irve, 18 Feb., 1572; III. Anne* Quinbt, christened 13 June, 1551, mentioned in Edward* Quinby's will (1612) as sister; IV. Lathorm* Quinbte, christened 28 Nov., 1552; V. Francis* Quinbt, buried 1563; "probably a child; in this year there were 120 deaths, many being chil- dren," says the town clerk; 10. VI. Hbnby* Quenbt, christened 24 Feb., 1562 (see); VII. George* Quatbe christened 19 Nov., 1562; ' VIII. Catherine* Quimbt, married Robert Winn, 6 Feb., 1581; called sister in Edward Quinby's will, 1612; The following does not appear on the parish register: 11. IX. Edward* Quinbt; in his will dated 1612, he men- itions his three sisters, Catherine, Anne and Mary. This Edward* is mentioned in the will of Henry* Quinby, 1596, as his brother. Note — A comparison of the wills of Edward* and Henry* leads irresistibly to the concluBion that their father had no male grandchildren, and that the family name was not perpetuated in his line. 6. John' Quinby, Jr., (John^, ') was born probably at Farnham, Surrey, somewhere around the year 1520. He went to Spain very early in life evidently as factor or agent for Thomas Goodman of London and there acquired a considerable amount of personal property, in- cluding at least one "chest of apparell" which he left in that country. In 1556, he was still employed by Thomas Goodman who was a relative: son-in-law of Edward* Quinby's wife. According to the then use of the words, he calls himself servant, and Goodman master, in his will dated 28 July, 1556. Those terms in those days were used of employe or agent, and employer (they still are so used in law), and obviously in this instance, the probability is strong that Goodman was a merchant who had business relations in Spain, and that Quinby had been his agent or manager in that country. The property that Quinby had amassed in England and Spain and mentioned in his will. Tomb or Robert Quynby, first Burgess of Farnham, County Surrey, England, in the parish church of St. Andrew. Robert was born about 1.510 and died 1.570 at Farnham. (See p. 49.) The Quinby Family 53 included the following articles, (besides considerable sums of money) : 1. Three little hoops of gold joined together; 2. One pearl set in gold; 3. Two great hoops of gold; 4. One pearl in gold; 5. Two small hoops of gold; 6. One cross of gold; 7. A turquoise set in gold; 8. A cross bow; 9. Two chests of apparel; 10. One diamond ring; 11. One ruby ring; 12. One turquoise ring; 13. A chain of gold; 14. A chest (in the hall of Goodman's house) ; 15. A signet of gold; 16. Two lutes. To the Goodman family — apparently Thomas, his wife, and daughters Jane and Ursula — he gave the diamond, turquoise and ruby rings, and twenty pounds in money besides eighty shillings to buy memorial rings; all three chests, and the gold signet. He made his father residuary legatee and executor (a brief synopsis of this will appears in New York Biographical and Genealogical Register, 1911, p. 321). It appears that there was difficulty in his father's obtaining the other property left in Spain. The following year he followed his son to the grave. In his will he leaves to Mr. Edward Cocks, merchant of London, 40 shill- ings, "upon condition that he instruct Sir Thomas White of the hole accompt between Mr. Goodman and my ex- ecutors for the goods of John Quinby, left in Spain."

Administration granted 1 Dec, 1557, to Jane Quinby (John' being dead). 7. Anthony' Quinby (John^, was born prob- ably at Farnham, Surrey, about 1530. He became proba- tionary Fellow of New College, at Oxford University in 1651, "undeterred by the fate of John Quinby, another member of the fainily which apparently was settled at Farnham, Surrey," (Says H. C, a contributor to Notes and Queries, 9th ser., vol. VIII., 239). His father, John* Quin- by, leaves in his will (1557) the remainder of his lands and household goods to his son Anthony in case Robert dies before their mother, which shows that Anthony was then the second oldest son. John' also leaves to his son An- thony "six pounds per annum out of the farm at Bags- hotte, provided that if he be a priest and have promotion" this income shall cease. An unidentified record says, Anthony Quenbye from Farnham, Surrey, Fellow of New College, Oxon, 1551-9, received the degree of B. C. L. (Bachelor of Civil Law) 20 June, 1558, and died unmarried 20 May, 1559. 8. Thomas' Quinby {John", ^) was born probably at Farnham, Surrey, about 1530. In 1557, (after the death in 1556 of his brother John, Jr.) he was the third son then living, and was left forty shillings by his father, who left the same sum "To my daughter his wife." No further record of him has yet come to light. This is the supposed ancestor of the immigrants to New England, William' Quinby and Robert ' according to the report from a London professional ancestral research office to Dr. George A, Quinby of New York, about thirty years ago. There is no documentary evidence of it discovered so far, but it is probable; no other seems a possible ancestor among the recorded members of the Farnham family.

The Quinby Family 55 We find the first record of him as a scholar at Winchester 1? 11 ' ^""^ '? ^^^^' ^® "^^^ ^ probationary Fellow at New College, Oxford and there he died a martyr for religion's sake in 1528. His death has been the subject of much in- teresting disc-assign, some of which is the following: "In Strype's Ecclesiastical Memorials, Vol, 1, p 376 we have some account of the sufferings of Mr. Quinby, a fellow of New College, Oxford, on account of his protestant faith, by Dr. London, warden of that college, and a violent persecutor of the protestants in the early part of the reign of Henry the Eighth. He was imprisoned, says Strype, very straightly, in the Tower of the College, and half starved with cold, and lack of food, and at length died. He was asked by his friends what he would eat, who said his stomach was gone for all meat, except it were a 'warden pie.' Ye shall have it quoth they. I would have, said he again, but two wardens baked, I mean our warden of Ox- ford, and our warden of Winchester, (London and More), for such a warden pie might do me and Christ's church good, whereas other wardens of the tree can do me no good at all. Thus jesting at their tyranny through the cheerful- ness of safe conscience, he turned his face to the wall in the belfry where he lay, and after his prayers slept sweetly in the Lord." The warden pies were made of meat and a kind of large pears fit for baking, called warden pears. These pears were common when Shakespeare wrote his Winters' Tale, as the clown says "I must have saffron to color the warden pies." From a passage in "Cupid's Revenge," by Beaumont and Fletcher, we may conclude that these pears were usually eaten roasted: "I would have him roasted like a warden, in brown paper." This pear is called in France, poire de garde. (See also Rolfe's edition of The Winter's Tale, Act IV., sc. 3). Dr. London at last received the punishment he de- served. He was convicted of perjury, with one Symonds, a lawyer, and both sentenced to be carried through Windsor, Reading and Newbury, (for he was canon of Windsor, hav- ing previously resigned his wardenship of New College, and at that place the crime was committed,) with their faces to the horses tails, and afterwards pilloried, which sentence was put into execution. This disgrace sank so deeply into the heart of Dr. London that he died soon after, in the Fleet prison in the year 1543. (Oxonia, vol. II., 97, by Rev. I. Walker, vicar of Horn church; published in 1831). 56 The Quinbt PamujT The following is from Notes and Queries, Qth Series, vol. VIII., p. 239: "The story how this Lutheran, John Quinby, Fellow of New College, Oxford, died, half starved with cold and lack of food in the steeple of his college where he was im- prisoned as a heretic by Dr. London, the Warden, will be found in Strype's Ecclesiastical Memorials, I. 376, and in Narratives of the Reformation (Camden Society, 1859) p. 32. "The latter reproduces Archdeacon Louthe's manu- script, which Strype followed. It seems to me worthy of notice, that the truth of this story, which Louthe set down for Foxe's benefit some fifty years after the event, is in no small degree confirmed by a letter, undated but ascribed to 1536, which Richard Talbot, the antiquary, wrote to Thomas Cromwell's servant, Morrison, and the substance of which appears in the Calendar of Letters, etc., in the Reign of Henry VIII., Vol. XI., No. 1185. Talbot, who figures in Louthe's story as a Lutheran, who started back, but was nevertheless expulsed by the Warden, probably made some attempt to get his Fellowship restored to him, and the letter contains* his version of how he came to lose it: "My adversaries will object that I put the matter in the hands of Dr. Hunt, and must be bound by what he has done. I answer, I did it not sponte (i. e., willingly) but straitly exacted by the Sub- Warden of the House that then was, whose name is Sutton, and Dr. Whyte and Dr. Hunt, which three were sent to me and my fellow, Sir Quynby, deceased, by the Warden, whose prisoners we then were, and required us for the saving of the college's priv- ileges, to put our rights respectively in the two doctors' hands. Mr. Sutton and Dr. Whyte who are still alive, will not deny this upon oath P. S. If you once bring all well, your part shall be worth a doublet cloth of satin.' "This letter not only confirms the story of Quinby's imprisonment, but supplies, I think, an adequate explana- tion of the entry, 'recessit 1528,' which was put against his name in the New College register. I have heard it said that the fact that the entry was not 'obiit 1528' militates against the story of his being starved to death. Talbot's letter, however, suggests that a consent to resign was wrung from Quinby before he 'slept sweetly in the Lord.' In that case, an entry which ignored the scandal could be justified by the authorities as strictly correct. "John Quinby's memory has been kept alive by his The Quinbt Family 57 defiant jest about Warden pie, which I do not repeat here because it has already appeared in this work (Notes & Queries, London, 4th series, vol. VI., p. 124). But the jest has been remembered better than the man. The college registers show that he became a scholar at Winchester in 1518 and a probationary Fellow at New College in 1522- yet, oddly enough, in Nichols's footnotes to 'Narratives of the Reformation,' he, and almost he alone, of all the per- sons mentioned by Louthe, was not identified. Again, in Mr. Kirby's 'Winchester Scholars,' his name has been per- verted to 'John Grumble'; and failing to recognize him in this disguise, Mr. Leach, in his History of Winchester Col- lege, p. 249, was tempted to reject the story as told, for want of a Quinby to whom it could be properly attached. "Again, in Messrs. Rashdall and Raits' 'New College,' pp. 191-2, Quinby has been rechristened Peter, and Louthe, who did not go to Oxford until 1538 is spoken of as his contemporary there." (H. C, Notes and Queries, 9th series, vol. VIII., p. 240). "Anthony Quinby, undeterred by the fate of John Quinby, another member of the family which apparently was settled at Farnham, Surrey, became probationary Fel- low of New College in 1551. This Anthony had a brother named John, and John was also their father's name. These two John Quinbys, father and son, both died (the son first) in 1557. (Wills proved P. C. C. 12 and 46 Wrastley). "Talbot's letter closes the door against any suggestion that either of these was identical with the 'Mr. Quinby' of Louthe's reminiscences. Talbot himself, it may be added, was engaged in 1531 in teaching a school at 'Borned Wodde.' (?Burntwood, co. Staff.) ' See the above cited Calendar, V., No. 630, which is not referred to in the life of Talbot in the 'D. N. B.' Nichols was evidently in error in assigning the imprisonment of Talbot and Quinby to 1533 and not to 1528." H. C. in Notes and Queries, 9th Ser. Vol. VIII., pp. 239-40. A record (unidentified) says: "John Quenby, Fellow of New College 1522-8, from Farnham, det** in Lent, 1527." 10. Henry* (Robert^, John^, born at Farnham, Surrey, in 1562, and christened at St. Andrew's, the parish church there, 24 Feb., 1562. He went up to London and became a grocer there. He died in London unmarried in 1596. His will was dated 16 May of that year and was proved 28 June, following, by his brother Edward as executor. He left five pounds "to the poor of Farnham, Surrey, where I was born, to be distributed by 58 The Qdinbt Family my brother Edward Quinbye;" to Charles Leigh of London, merchant, £100, and -to his wife Mercy, £10 for a gown, to Beatrice wife of John Stockley of London, merchant, £13:6:8; to Mrs. Ownestead, a chain of pearls and to her daughter Elizabeth Laurens, a small jewall of golde; £60 to be distributed among poor persons; £3 to ten persons; also leaves £20 to "my kinsman Thomas Ham;" and leaves 20 sh. each to five persons and £3 to ten persons; also £3 to Mrs. Pockeringe, widow; £30 to John Wakeman, merchant in Barbarye; £10 to Peter fforland, a taylor. He names as residuary legatee and executor, "my brother Edward Quenbye;" overseers, John Stockley, John Rippin and Charles Leigh (P. C. C. 43 Drake). 11. Edward* Quinby (Robert^, John^, born very probably between 1557 and 1560 at Farnham, Surrey. The registers for the years 1557 to 1560 are missing; all others are in existence and have been searched from the beginning of the registry, 1539, down to 1660, but Edward's birth does not appear. Edward is called brother by Henry* in his will, 1562, was named as executor and residuary legatee, and proved the will at London, 28 June of that year. Edward Quinby is called Esquire in both his and his widow's wills. At the time of his death in 1612-3 he was a resident of AUington, county of Southampton, but had prob- ably been longer a resident of Titchfield in the same vicinity. Edward Quinby's wife Jane had apparently previously married one Porter, by whom she had a considerable family, including Richard, Susan and John Porter, and Mary, who had married Thomas Goodman. Mrs. Quinby was mother of Jane, who married Edmund Hawes, but by which hus- band does not appear in either will. The will of Michael Cobb, of Chitterine St. Mary, Wilts, dated 17 Feb., 1644, mentions Edward and Jane as Mr. and Mrs. Quinby, grandparents of his wife, Jane Cobb. See, with Mr. H. F. Water's notes, 53 N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register X., 264. "Evidently a branch of the Farnham, Surrey, family," says Mr. Waters. William Heynes of Che^ngton, county Surrey, in his will dated 26 Jan., 1610, proved 22 April, 1611 (P. C. C. 30 Wood) leaves £5:34 "to my friehd Mr. Edward Quinby of Titchfield Esq., for a ring." (III. Misc. Gen. et Her. 2d. Ser., p. 55). Mrs. Jane Quinby died 1624. Edward Quinby died in February, 1613.

William* Quinby is said to have been a grandson of Thomas of Farnham, county Surrey, England, and was born probably about 1600. He married in England and came with his sons John and Thomas and perhaps other chil- dren to Massachusetts about 1638, landing probably at or near Salem. He may have been accompanied by a brother, the father of Robert^ Quinby, or Robert may have been a young son of his own. William * and his sons, John and Thomas, joined the emigration of about 1638 to the new settlements in Connecticut, and appear among the first sev- enteen families at Stratford, Conn., in 1639 (Orcutt's His- tory of Stratford, pp. 184-5). They left young Robert Quinby at Salem, and he first appears on the records there in 1646. Charles L. Andrews, formerly an editor of the New York Evening Post, who corresponded thirty years ago with many of his mother's aged Quinby relatives, records a definite family tradition to the effect that William Quinby was an elderly man with a grown-up family when he came to this country, and that he fled from England on account of having been an officer in the army of Oliver Cromwell. But Cromwell was in power from 1649 to 1660. Orcutt suggests that he was one of the party who accom- panied Rev. Adam Blakeman of Derbyshire and Leices- tershire on his arrival in this country in 1638. Rev. Adam was one of the original company of settlers at Strat- ford the following year, and was minister of the church there until his death in 1665. At any rate, William Quinby was of the Massachusetts company "that came from Wethersfield (Conn.) through the wilderness to Stratford on foot and horseback, and tradition says forded the Housa- tonic river somewhere above Stratford village. These families settled on the plain, then an Indian field (where the map of 1660, here reproduced, says 'rocks' the earlier map of 1639 says 'wigwams'.) They were probably all com- municants of the English or Episcopal church, and on arrival at Stratford they organized themselves into a 'church of Christ' with the recognition of neighboring The QmNBT Pamilt 61 churches, all of whom about 1669 were styled Congrega- tionaL" (Orcutt. p. 187). Wethersfield, mentioned above, had been settled in 1634 entirely by Massachusetts fam- ilies, and It was quite natural for pioneers from that state to Connecticut to stop first at Wethersfield to get their bearings before moving on to new territory. In 1651 a list of the owners of the fence about the first common field at Stratford was made up; William Quenby was seventh, owning four rods (id. p. 93). The following year, 1652, a list of parcels of real estate with their STRATFORD IN IIBO respective owners was compiled. William's lands are enumerated as a house lot, two pieces of land in the , New field and three acres on the Neck (p. 102). There was a piece of common land at Stratford known as Quinby's Neck field, consisting of upland and salt meadow lying northeast of Great Neck bridge. It ceased about 1790 to be a common field (id. p. 1097). William Quinby's home lot is shown on the map of 1639 and on the map of 1660 (copied here) as the third lot south of the road running 62 The Qiuinbt FAistniTr west toward the "Rocks;" it is numbered 33 on the map and fronts on Main street, backing exactly on the middle of the "Rocks." Orcutt says William Quinby sold all of iiis real estate enumerated above, to Henry Tomlinson, 1 Apr., 1657; the above houselot is called in 1660 on Orcutt's map, the prop- erty of Thomas Quinby, thereafter of Joshua Atwater, and later of Henry Tomlinson. Orcutt says Thomas removed about 1664 to "Westchester, New York (p. 136). Shortly after the sale of his Stratford property, William Quinby and his son John removed to Westchester county. New York. Thomas seems to have remained a short time at Stratford and no further record is found of him. William and John became members of the first Congregational church at Westchester. The town had been settled in 1654 by Puritans from Connecticut, but as early as 1642 thirty-five Massachusetts families had settled in the county, leaving their former home "on account of the persecutions which resulted in the expulsion of Roger Williams." The first mention of these Quinbys on Westchester record, is in 1662. In 1665, Governor Richard NicoUs, successor of Stuy- vesant, convened an assembly of representatives of the Westchester county towns to meet with those of the Long Island towns at Hempstead. This was the First Colonial Assembly and John Quinby and Edward Jessup were the representatives elected from Westchester town. The citizens gave them as warrant of their election a paper in which they agreed to "stand by their representa- tives in whatever they do." The first name signed to the document is that of William Quinby. This is the last record we have of him; he was then no doubt over sixty- five years of age. The only reasonably certain record of his children is the mention on the Stratford town books of his sons, Thomas and John (also mentioned by Savage). Robert was also of the second generation, though whether son or nephew doesn't appear. The second generation therefore is so far as known, as follows: 2 I. Robert^ Quinby, born probably about 1625 (see); II. Thomas* Quinby, succeeded his father as owner of the home lot at Stratford; no descendants known; Orcutt says (p. 136) "he was a land owner in Stratford about 1660 and removed to Westchester about 1664;" 3. III. John 2 Quinby, born before 1633 if he was 21 when his daughter Deborah was born (1654) (see); The Quinsy Famh/t 63 From a marriage record at Stamford, Conn., (Hun- tington, History of Stamford, p. 165) it seems evident that William had this daughter: IV. Ann* Quinsy, married 9 mo. 28, 1657, George Stukey. Note 1. Col. Ira Quinby of Morris, N. Y., has a paper which he received by descent, reading as follows: "William Quinby from the south of England on the isle of Jersey, he being the grandson of the ancestor, of the last named place and was a. commissioned ofl&cer of the British navy; his coat-of-arms was a unicorn with horns, a lamb and sword with the crown, etc. He came to Saggett's Harbor, east end of Long Island about 1654 or earlier and his wife, I have not learned who she was but was of the Welch progeny. Their children were **John** and others." Some of the foregoing may be true, but most of it is the most obvious nonsense. Note 2. Lewis & Co.'s Genealogical History of New Jersey, in an article by Mrs. Nelson Wright, apparently makes William the son of Robert, who in turn was the son of Thomas, who is said to have landed at Salem, Mass., about 1630. This is prob- ably based on CuUeton's report mentioned above; the Robert is -evidently the name ascribed to the missing link between Thomas of Farnham, England, and William of Stratford. Note 3. Mr. Gurnee suggests that "Goodman Quinbee" of Massachusetts is the missing link, figuring that the word Good- man, instead of being the usual colonial title of modest respect- ability (like goodwife) was a given name derived £rom Thomas Goodman, who was the patron of Thomas Quinby'a^rother John, the Spanish merchant who died in 1556; Thomas Goodman was the son-in-law of Edward Quinby's wife. It seems certain however that Goodman Quinbee was Robert*, the immigrant. Note 4. Dodd's MSS. mentions a William Quinby, Jr., of Westchester, 1654. Perhaps this was William', in which case the link between Thomas of Farnham was probably named William. Note 5. In the Chesebrough Genealogy, recently published by Mrs. Pierre W. Wildey of New York, it is stated that Robert*, the immigrant of Salem was son of John Quinby of SaUsbury, England, and this was quoted in the Boston Transcript, 16 June, 1915. Mrs. Wildey wrote in answer to my inquiry that she had no record or remembrance of the source of her statement. I have never found it elsewhere, and there appears to be neither foundation or corroboration for it. Robert had a son John *, who settled at Salisbury, Mass., which may be the origin of Mrs. Wildey's statement. 64 The Qtjinbt Family ROBERT^ QUINBY OF MASSACHUSETTS Immigrant of 1638 2. Robert' Quinby, the ancestor of the New Eng- land Quinbys and Quimbys came from England to Salem probably about 1638. The first record of Robert, which we find in America is under date of 1:5 mo: 1646 (i. e., 1 July, for in those days the year began 25th March, in- stead of 1 January and March is therefore the "1st mo.") It is in the records of the Quarterly Court of Essex county, Mass., held at Salem, and on this occasion Samuel Winsley and Tristram Coffin were suing one Richard Ayre. Mr. Winsley deposed that "when he had carried down goods to load Codman's vessel, Mr. Coffin desired to have his beef carried. Deponent said he would refer it to goodman Codman, who told him not to overload the vessel, but rather to put some of the bolts on shore." The record adds: "Ralph Blazdale and Robert Quinbee also deposed." (I. Files, 98). Unfortunately their depositions are no longer to be found; but it is obvious that Robert Quinby a was at least twenty-one years of age, which would mean that he was born before 1625. It is said that Robert's name also appears in the court records of Norfolk county, Mass., in 1643, and again 1 May, 1646, where he is men- tioned as a ship carpenter. I have not been able to verify this and from the date it is probable that the latter really refers to the foregoing 1: 5 mo: 1646 entry on the Essex county record. The earliest town records of Salem have fortunately been preserved in Essex Institute Historical Collections (vols. 9 and 40) and as Robert's name is not mentioned, he may have lived at Salisbury before he is recorded in 1659. The next record we have of him is when he bought for £16 a house and ten acres of land in Salisbury, Massa- chusetts, on the west side of the Powwow river, bounded by land of William Sargent, a lane, street, and highway, 28 Feb., 1658. (bk. I., p. 106). The deed was acknowl- edged 10:2 mo: 1660, and is set out in full on later pages. William Osgood, a millwright, who had recently be- come Robert Quiliby's father-in-law, went on the latter's bond to pay the purchase price. Robert Quinby was even then a shipbuilder, a calling followed by some of his de- The QxnNBT Family 65 scendants, including his great-grandson Joseph of Stroud- water. This house was for a home for Robert and his wife Elizabeth (History of Ampsbury, by J. Merrill, 1880, p. 61). There they lived and had their eight children, except the first one, Lydia. The following year, 1659, an allotment of lands took place and Robert Quinby drew lot No. 19. Robert's name appears in 1659 as one of the seventy- six tax payers of the "Country Rate" of Salisbury. The next year he was admitted a townsman ("10 mo., 10 day.") As one of the owners of common land in Amesbury in 1667-8 he drew certain lots 18 Feb., of that year. A further grant of land was made in 1666 to Robert Quinby among others, and at the incorporation of the then town of New Salisbury (afterwards Amesbury) in that y«ar, Robert Quinby was one of the thirty-six "freemen." A grandson, Joseph*, sold his share of his inhi^ritance 13 Nov., 1722 (recorded 28 Sept., 1727), fifteen acres, "the southeasterly half of the twenty-second .lot of the third division beyond the pond originally the lott of Robert Quinbe of Almsbury deceased" (Essex county Deeds, bk. 49, leaf 228). The following is abstracted from a deed recorded at Salem; Joseph Quenby, Jr., Benjamin Quenby and Joseph Jewell, all of Amesbury, quitclaim the place called White Thorn hill which is now enjoyed by Joseph Quenby, Senior, provided always that that above named Joseph, Benjamin, et. al., be not molested on account of any right, title or interest that ever did or might belong to Thomas Quenby, deceased, or his successor, or to Philip Quenby or his suc- cessor. Amesbury 5 Sept., 1722. (No signatures). At a general meeting in 1667 to arrange the seating in the new church, Robert Quinby was "to set in the 3 seat in the nor- west side in the metten house." Robert married Elizabeth Osgood, the daughter of William and Elizabeth Osgood, residents of Salisbury, Mass., till 1660, thereafter of Amesbury, where they had seats in the meeting houses. (A full accou^it of the Os- good family appears in I. New England Family History, p. 7'4.) Robert and Elizabeth probably married in 1656-7, as their first child was born 1657-8. A family record in the possession of Thomas Weed Quinby gives the date of their marriage as 7 Jan. (or June) 1653. Robert Quinby and his wife Elizabeth lived in the most stirring times New England has ever known, and took a very active part in some of those events. The witch- f5) 66 The Quinby Family craft trials summoned Elizabeth's father and mother as witnesses; her father and mother also had the notorious Indian Symon living with them, who subsequently wounded the daughter of his hosts, Elizabeth Quinby herself and killed her husband Robert* Quinby, the immigrant an- cestor, in the Amesbury massacre of 7 July, 1677 (Merrill's Amesbury, p. 105; Drake's Indian Biography; Chase's History of Haverhill, p. 126). In a letter dated Ames- bury, 9:5 mo: 1677, it is set forth how Symon, the Indian, knocked our ancestress on the head; she related that when he came to her, she asked him not to kill her. He slaid, "Why, goodwife Quinby, do you think that I will kill you?" "Because you kill all the English," said she. "I will give quarter to never an English dog of you all," said he, and gave her a blow on the head; where upon she called him "Rogue!" and threw a stone at him; and then he gave her two more and settled her for dead. The foregoing is the very language of the letter, which is still preserved in the Massachusetts Archives, vol. 67, p. 142, at Boston, and is set forth in full a few pages further on. Robert's widow Elizabeth was appointed administra- trix on his estate 9 Oct., 1677, and afterwards, 26 Sept., 1694, their son Robert' Quinby was appointed adminis- trator of the estate of both his parents, and the estate was divided in 1700. The children of Robert and Elizabeth (Osgood) Quinby were born as follows: I. Lydia' Quinby, born 22 Jan., 1657-8 at Salisbury, Mass.; she married 10 Apr., 1674, William', son of William* and Isabel Holdridge or Holdred of Exeter (mentioned VIII. Register, 157); 4. II. William' Quinby, born 11 June, 1660, at Salisbury (see); 5. III. Robert' Quinby, born at Salisbury (see); 6. IV. John' Quinby, born 7 Sept., 1665, at Salisbury (see); V. Thomas' Quinby, born 8 Feb., 1668, at Salisbury; he is not known to have married, and deeds in- dicate that he did not; he was living as late as 1700, in which year he was mentioned in the will of his grandfather W'lliam Osgood (referred to in C. H. Pope's "Pioneers of Massachusetts"); records indicate he died before 1722. In the Boston Even- ing Transcript, Genealogical note *383, one J. B. P. suggested that "Thomas Quinby or his brother Philip may have gone to Wethersfield," Connec- ticut; this, if intended to imply a clue to connec- The Qthnbt Familt 67 tion with William' Quinby, seems valueless on account of dates; VI.

VIII. Joseph' Quinby, born 6 Mar., 1676, at Amesbury, (see) . Note 1 — Robert' and his family are briefly set forth in "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury," by David W. Hoyt, I. 295.

John 2 (William^) born in England about 161 — ; probably arrived at Salem, Mass., in 1638; was at Strat- ford, Connecticut, with his father from certainly 1639, till he moved to Weatchester, N. Y., about 1660. He was said by a great-great-grandson to have been an officer in the King's Army at the time Cromwell overthrew the Government, and fled to America at that time; but that took place in 1649. He was a member of the committee on schools and of the committee to fill a vacancy in the pulpit of Westchester. He with Edward Jessup repre- sented the town of Westchester in 1665, at the First New York Assembly at Hempstead, convened by Governor Rich- ard NicoUs, of the towns of Westchester county and Long The Quinbt Family 75 Island. He was a member of the first Congregational church of Westchester. He was one of six magistrates appointed in 1662 by Governor Stuyvesant. Their juris- diction was hmited to the affairs of their own town and it was expressly set forth that they should have no authority over dark and dubious matters, especially witchcraft." (21 Albany Rec. 233-8). "This Court doth accept of the town of Westchester as a member of this corporation, being rece'd and accepted as such by o'r Councill formerly. This Court doth de- clare that all the land between the-sayd West Chester and Stanford also, doth belong to the Colony of Connecticut. Tho: Hunt, John Quinby, Rob. Hiiested, Nicholas Bayley, Rich: Ponton, Smll Mills are accepted to be made free (i. e., admitted as 'freemen' by taking the oath, etc.) ac- cording to order of court." (Colonial Records of Con- necticut, 1638-65; Hartford, Brown Parsons, 1850). John Quinby, With four other persons, was a patentee of Westchester in 1667. In 1673 New York surrendered to the Dutch and later, upon the return of the English, the patent was confirmed to the same trustees. S^id Charles F. Jenkins in the Doylestown (Pa.) In- telligencer (2 July, 1891): "As Westchester was settled by Puritans from Connecticut in 1654, among whom were William and John Quinby, provisions were early made for the establishment of religion according to the Independent or Congregational order. William and John Quinby were members of this church. Part of John Quinby's duty as magistrate was that of procuring a suitable minister when there was a vacancy." In 1662, upon the nomination of town officers the in- habitants of the town of Westchester addressed the Gov- ernor as follows: "Right Honorable Lord Governor of the New Netherlands, Lord Stevensone, We, the inhabitants of the towns, do heare present our choice unto your honor, for the establishing of magistrates for the ensuing year; these may give your honor for to understand what the towns choyce is as foUoweth, namely: William Betts, Rob- ert Huestis, John Quinby, Edward Waters, Nicholas Bayly, Thomas Vaille, East Towne, Feb. 11, 1662." (XX. Alb. Rec. 51). (Bolton's History of Westchester county, N. Y. ed. 1881, II. 280). The difficulties between the English province of Con- necticut and the Dutch province of New Netherlands con- tinued to increase until the subjugation of the latter by the British forces under Governor Richard NicoUs, Aug. 76 The Quinby Family 27th, 1664, says Bolton, (II. 286). He continues by set- ting forth in full a document dated 15 June, 1664, by which the inhabitants of Westchester town recognized the title of their lands in Thomas Pell; this was signed by John Quinby, first, followed by the signatures of sixteen others. The following day Pell signed an agreement on the same paper "that the inhabitants might enjoy the present im- provements of Their Labors, Their home Lotts and plant- ing grounds with what meadows were in times past laid out to each man's particular to mow for this yeare," etc. When Governor Richard NichoUs convened an As- sembly from the towns of Long Island and Westchester to meet at Hempstead, 1 Mar. 1665, John Quinby and Edward Jessup appear as deputies from the town of Westchester. (Albany Records, General Entries, 1664-5, p. 96; see Dun- lap's History of New York; II. Bolton, 296). "August 6th, 1665. We, whose names are under- written, doe jointly agree to set to our hands to send the eight townsmen to Governor NicoUs, to stand by them in what they doe in that particular, for the settlement of the towne." The names signed to this document are thirteen in number, headed by that of William^ Quinby. The records of the trials held in New Amsterdam, now New York, have been published under civic authority. Vol. V. contains the minutes of the Court of Burgomasters and Schepens for 1664-6. At p. 314 is this very full ac- count of a civil trial in which John Quinby was mentioned: "November 14, 1665, at a Court; Present, Mr. Corn: V: Ruyven, deputy major, Mr. Olof StevenS) Mr. Johannes V: Brugh, Mr. John Laurence, Aldermen; Mr. AUard Anthony, Sheriff. Mr. John Laurence, pltf. vs. Denys Isaacksen, deft. Pltf. sets forth in his declaration, that there is due him from the deft, a balance of the sum of fl. 14:16. and that deft, has treated him, pltf., very rudely, pushing and threatening him as more fully appears by his declaration and that of John Quimby. Deft, says, that his wife agreed with pltf., that if she brought two good beavers, the said sum should be then erased, and he would in addition pay her 10 lbs. of butter, which pltf. now refuses: he denies further that he either pushed or threatened pltf. but says that pltf. and above named Quimby have pushed and beaten him repeatedly." After a reply and rejoinder, follows this judgment: The Mayor and Aldermen having heard the parties, condemn the defendant, first, to pay the plaintiff two good whole beavers, and order the plaintiff to give him ten lbs. of The Quinbt Family 77 butter according to the agreement; and that the defendant shall further pay for this time, on account of his unbecom- ing behaviour a fine of "6 guilders zewant" for the church, together with the costs incurred in the suit. In 1667 Governor NicoUs executed a patent dated Feb. 13, granting unto John Quinby, followed by four others 'as patentees" for and on behalf of themselves and their associates, the free holders and inhabitants of ye said town. "Upon the 13th Sept. 1669, we find a special warrant addressed to Thomas Pell for unjustly keeping from Mr. Thomas Richbell a certain parcel of meadow ground on one of the three necks at Mamaroneck." This litigation between the patentees had been already going on for at least ten years. "Upon the 20th of January, 1671, a commission was appointed, consisting of Capt. Dudley Lovelace, Capt. Jaques Cortelyou, Mr. Elias Doughty, Capt. Richard Pon- ton and Mr. John Quinby, to view ye bounds in difference between Mr. Pell and Mr. Richbell." Five days later "an amicable composure of ye difference" was set forth in an order duly made. John^* Quinby appears in 1672 in the proceedings in the estate of Asher Levy as owing seven guilders (New York county Surrogate's records, liber B. 19, Wills). In 1673 the province of New York surrendered to the Dutch, and after a few years the English again achieved control. Governor Dongan thereupon granted a new and confirmatory patent, under date 6 Jan. 1686, to John Quinby and the others as patentees, etc. Bolton sets these patents out in full, spelling John's surname invariably with an m, on pages 287-290, vol. II. The records of deeds of Westchester county at White Plains have been laboriously searched deed by deed by Mr. Arthur Haviland, down through vol. E for any Quinby as witness to these early instruments, there being of course no index to the names of witnesses. The earliest docu- ment witnessed by John^ Quinby is where he and Thomas Baxter witnessed an assignment of John Pallmar of West- chester to John Hunt of a "bill of sale" by Samuel Barrett to Hunt of two home-lots on the highway of the town of Westchester, dated 3-12-1677 and recorded 9-25-1686 (bk. A, p. 104). There had been earlier recorded a separation deed between Edward and Martha T. Hubbard, recorded 4-7-1686 (bk. A, p. 73). John Quinby and Arthur Bell witnessed a deed of John Hunt of Westchester to Henry Gardner, 2-9-1682 (bk. A, p. 126); John Quinby and Robert 78 The Qthnby Family Hustiss were witnesses to a deed of Thomas Vaile of West- chester, 3-7-1678 (bk. B, p. 395). It is an especially interesting fact, shown in book C, p. 6, that among those signing the oath of allegiance to King William in Westchester c'ounty were the two John Quinbys and Josiah' Quinby, the former two of the town of Westchester and the last of Mamaroneck. The date does not appear in this ancient book, now well over two centuries old, but from the dates of records preceding and following, the time must have been between the first day of 1698 and the first of May, 1699. In 1684, at a town meeting held at Westchester town, 2 April of that year, it was resolved: "That the Justices and Vestryman of Westchester, Eastchester and Yonckers, do accept of Mr. Warham Mather, as our minister for one whole year, and that he shall have sixty pounds, in country produce at money price, for his salary, and that he shall be paid every quarter. Done in behalf of the Justices aforesaid. Signed by us, John Quinby, John Baley, Joseph Hunt, John Burkbee." John* Quinby's wife's name was Deborah. It seems certain that her surname was Haight. It is so given in the Dodd MS. and in the article on the Quinbys in the Found- ers and Builders of the Oranges; but certainly the latter cannot be considered authoritative. Through the careful search by Mr. Haviland of the West- chester county records we learn that the first recorded instrument to which John' Quinby was a partty was a deed dated 8-8-1685, from John and Sarah Turner of Westchester town (vol. A, p. 37) to John Quinby, Sr., yeoman, of the same town, which conveyed a parcel of land on the westerly side of the Bronx river, bounded northerly to that river by the highway, and easterly on one side by the same river and southerly by the lot of John Quinby, Sr., ad- joining thereunto being called the "sixth draft," and westerly by the highway both northerly and westerly within the bounds of Westchester; the lot so conveyed is called the "seventy draft," evidently referring to the original drawing of the lots; as the original lot of John Quinby was called the sixth draft, it seems that this lot adjoining must have been the seventh, not the "seventy." Under the same date, 8-8-1685 (bk. A, p. 42) is the record of the transfer of a cow and some sheep transferred to John Turner for the parcel of land bought by John Quinby, Sr. The next recorded deed is of 7-26, 1693, (vol. B, p. 154) whereby John Quinby, Sr., and Deborah, his wife, "living in the town and county of Westchester" sold to Israel Honeywell one and a half acre in the town of Westchester, "salt meadow, situated at the rear of the house lot which was formerly Samuel Palmers, butting southerly to the Town Bridge, and northerly to the mea- dow which was formerly the said Palmer's." The QxnNBT Family 79 In 1697-8, John Quinby, Sr., and Deborah his wife, and John Quinby, Jr., and Annah his wife, all of the borough and town of Westchester, sold the home lot of five acres and privileges to Erasmus Alton, who had married Elizabeth, daughter of John, Sr. Erasmus wrote on the deed (bk. B, p. 393) a promise " that I nor my heirs shall have right belonging to the said home lot which I bought of my brother John Quinby, Jr." The meaning of this is somewhat obscure. The deed of 3-4-1698 (B, 393) mentioned above from John Quinby Sr. and Deborah, to Israel Honeywell sells "all that £25 privilege with the rights thereunto belonging situate within the borough and town of Westchester." The deed of the home lot was by John, Jr. and Annah. From deeds from Josiah and Mary of 9-21-1709 (bk. D, p. 33) it appears that the home lot of John Quinby, Sr., at Westchester town was bounded north by the common sheep pasture, south by land formerly of Erasmus Alton, east by the highway that leads to the town landing or mill and west by the sheep common. A second deed (10-3-1710, bk. D, p. 93) of Josiah and Mary refers to "my father John Quinby lately deceased," so John' Quinby died 1709-10. Children of John" and Deborah (Haight) Quinby: 8. I. John' Quinby, born 1651 (see); 9. II. Charles' Quinby, died intestate before 1705 at Westchester town; 10. III. Josiah' Quinby, born 166-? (see); IV. Maby' Quinby; The foregoing are named by Savage in the Gen- ealogical Dictionary and by Bolton in his history; one of them, says Savage, was born at Stratford, Connecticut. Probably the others were born in Westchester county. Dodd's MS. also mentions: V. Deborah' Quinby, born 2 Apr. 1659, at Stratford, Conn., the only Quinby item on the town record as printed in Cothren's "Ancient Woodbury," (III. 673). In an ancient MS. in the possession of Col. Ira* Quinby, of Morris, N. Y., the list of children is given as John, Jr., Josiah, Charles; also: 11 VI David' Quinby (born perhaps 165-6-); The records of Westchester county deeds also show another daughter: VII Elizabeth' Quinby, married Erasmus Alton of Westchester town before 1698 and lived on her father's home lot. Note 1-For some reason Dodd MS. does not identify t^i^ J°j>'j' J^j'" liam^) as the one who fathered the John' who married Anne Kia^Btadt, on the contrary it says: "John^ Quinby of EngUsh descent f^^d Deborah daugh- ter of Charl^ Townley (son or grandson of J^^^^) ^^^ ^'^tr.fv^ Kierstea/ who married Anna Kierstead, daughter of Hance and Sarah (Janty) K^erstead They had I. Sarah' Quinby; II. Anna' Qmnby; III. John' Quinby born 1686 80 The Qdinbt Family at Wampus pond," etc. (see John' herein). And all this in spite of the fact that Dodd states that the ^rife of John* (John^, William^) was named Anne, and that he knows nothing further of him. A tradition of the Westchester fam- ily today is that their "immigrant ancestor married J^ne, daughter of John Townley." Note 2 — Orcutt's Stratford gives the birth of Deborah' as 20 Apr. Note 3 — Martha' Quinby may have been another daughter; she married 13 May, 1683, Hope, son of Kichard Chapman of Braintree, Mass., who had removed to Stonington, Conn.; they removed later to Stratford, Conn., where Hope "denounced" Martha in his will; they had a son Richard. There was a Quinley family early at Stonington. The Quinbt Family 81 THIRD GENERATION 4. William" (Robert'') was born at Salisbury in Massa- chusetts 11 June, 1660, and as a young child went to live in the adjoining town of Amesbury. He took the oath of allegiance 20 Dec. 1677, at Amesbury before Maj. Robert Pike (VI. Register, 202); was a member of the training band in 1680, and in that year his name appears 10:3 mo. in a petition to the General Court from Amesbury in rela- tion to a military officer. (18 Register, 76). His wife's given name was Sarah. He was "living in 1700," being mentioned in his grandfather Osgood's will; but the order appointing his brother Robert' as guardian of his property is dated 26 Sept. 1694, and begins: "William Quinby, being lately taken or killed by the Indians, his death not made certain." The accompanying inventory, appraised by Jacob Morrill, Jarvis Ring and Thomas Currier amount- ed to over £75. Administration was finally granted to Robert' on William's estate' 11 June, 1705. Benjamin Eastman and Samuel Joy of Salisbury went on Robert's bond. At that time William would have been forty-five years old, if living; Robert was probably several years younger. The inventory of 1705 which follows, is by Philip and iJaniel Rogers and is appraised by Samuel Joy and Benjamin Eastman at £15 : 16sh. There is nothing on record refeBring to the discrepancy and it may be an error of the copyist. From the administration papers, which are here set forth in full, as well as from other records, it appears that the children of William' and Sarah Quinby were: I. Elizabeth* Quinby, bom 6 Mar. 1689, at Ames- bury; 12. II.

Robert' (Robert^) was born probably about 1662-3 at Salisbury, Massachusetts; he is the only one of his father's eight children whose birth date is not found on the town records. He was evidently a soldier at one time, for he is called Sergeant in his administration papers. He was one of the five constables, for 18 Oct. 1708, he with the other four were "ordered prosecuted for not making up their accounts according to law." (Merrill's History of Amesbury, p. 159). He was allotted a seat in the meeting house, 1699 {id. 142). When his elder brother William' disappeared about 1694, Robert took charge of his estate and of the two in- fants, who were a girl of five and a boy of one year. In 1705 the neighbors got after him to account for his broth- er's good's, which apparently he did satisfactorily; and was appointed administrator by the court. In 1713, however, the court appointed Josiah Clark as guardian for the boy, William^. It is probable that the girl, Elizabeth^, had died by that time, as no record of her is to be found after 1705. Robert died after a long illness, if the large charge of Dr. Bradstreet, the amount of which was fixed after Robert's death and paid by the administrator, indi- cates it. He died early in 1715, for 6 June of that year administration on his estate was granted to Joseph S his eldest son. Joseph had presented his inventory 7 Apr. 1715, showing an estate valued at £198 : 4sh. of which £119 was in real estate. ,His widow, Mary (maiden name unknown) survived him.

John* (Robert") was born 7 Sept. 1665, at Salis- bury, Mass. He married first, Mary, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Clement) Mudgett who was born at Salisbury, Mass., 30 Apr. 1667; she was the widow of Abraham Morrill. The date of the marriage of John and Mary is on the Salisbury town book, but is illegible; it might perhaps be approximated by comparing the adjoining records; (see Historic-Genealogical Register, Jan. 1912, p. 89, which dis- cusses the record of John Quinby's marriage). The year was probably 1687. Mary (Mudgett) Quinby died 17 Aug. 1710. John Quinby married second, Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Hyde or Hides, of Newton, at Watertown, Mass., 1 May, 1713. John died at Newton, 1717, and administration was granted to his widow Elizabeth 9 July, 1717. Among the receipted bills filed is the following: "Received of Sam. Hides, Sr., the sum of nine shillings in full of what was due for his son John Quinby's coffin. I say received by me. John Spring." John Quinby's widow Elizabeth married second, Francis Blandon.

Westbrook reported, 2 June, 1724, Jacob Quinby as deceased 24 Mar. 1723. (72 Mass. Archives, 177, 45 Register 218) Jacob's brother Jethro also got to Falmouth later on, it would appear, and got into trouble there; 22. IX. Jethbo* Quinby; according to the records he was born 27 Nov. 1710; evidently, however, either this date or that of his mother's death is wrong (see).

He married about 1700, Elizabeth*, daughter of Samuel' and Elizabeth (Jones) Getchell. She probably died before Nov. 1722. Joseph' for second wife, married 10 Dec. 1724, Mrs. Anne (Hadlock), widow of Philip' Greeley. Joseph died 23 Mar. 1736. The records show that Anna Quinby, unidentifiable except as Joseph's widow, married 2 Oct. 1755, Jeremiah Eastman at Kensington, N. H. Joseph Quinby with his son Philip, Capt. Thomas Meekins and others of Amesbury, were grantees of New Amesbury, now Warner, N. H., 7 Oct. 1736, and 23 June, 1738. The children of Joseph' and Elizabeth (Getchell) Quinby, born at Amesbury: I. Dorothy* Quinby, born 7 Dec, 1700; married Joseph Eastman 16 June, 1724, at Salisbury Second church, (Hoyt, 456; 24 Sep. 1724, 21 Register, 232). She was baptised into the covenant at the same church, 4 Feb. 1728. She and her husband joined with Philip* Quinby and with Mary Drisco of New Meadows, York county, in a deed of land in SaHsbury 24 Oct. 1737; 23. II. Philip* Quinby, born 18 Nov. 1703 (see); III. Katharine* Quinby, born 30 June, 1706; married 1731 at Brookfield, Mass., Josiah Barrett, and was living at Hardwick, Mass., in 1740; IV. Eleanor* Quinby, born 15 July, 1708; she ack- nowledged the covenant and was baptised into Salisbury Second church, 26 June, 1726. She married John Davis, and was living at Brookfield, Mass., in 1737; Note— The Getchell Genealogy as published in LXIII. Register, 266, says that the above Elizabeth Getchell married Philip Quinby, which is contrary to the evidence. Elizabeth's sister Mary married John Drisco. 88 The Quinby FAMiiiT V. Maht* Quinby, born 16 Mar. 1712 (Amesbury rec.) Mary Quinby married David*, son of Lieut. Thomas' and Elizabeth (Huntington) Hoyt, born 27 Oct. 1709, at Amesbury. (I. Hoyt, 209). 8. John* (John^, William^) was born probably at Stratford, Connecticut, in 1651, says Plume's MSS. He married 1680 Anne or Annah, daughter of Hance and Sarah (Janty) Kierstadt, born 1651; they had: 24. I. John* Quinby, "born 1686 at Wampus pond" (NorthCiastle), Westchester county, N. Y. (see); II. Sarah* Quinby; III. Anne* Quinby. John' removed to Westchester county, N. Y., with his parents about 1660. From Mr. Haviland's search of Westchester county records we find that the earliest real estate transaction to which John Quinby, Jr., was a party is of 10-1-1697, (bk. B, p. 378^), a deed by him with his wife "Annah," both of the county and town of Westchester, to his brother Erasmus Alton, of the "home lot of five acres" in the town of Westchester, "bounded northerly by the orchard of John Quinby (Sr.?), easterly by the common land over against Israel Hun well's; southerly by the common along- side the highway; westerly also by the common land." John, Jr. is mentioned in 1705 as having been made administrator of the estate of Charles Quinby, his brother. Evidently there was some dispute between him and his brother Josiah' regarding the estate, for a curious docu- ment was recorded by the latter, reading as follows: "Westchester county: To me Benjamin Collier, clerk of the county whereas John Quinby, Junior, of the borough and town of Westchester, was made administrator of the movable estate of Charles Quinby of the same place, de- ceased, who died intestate. These are therefore to desire you, Benjamin Collier, Clerk of the county of Westchester, not to record any deed or writing concerning any lands or houses, meadows or any real estate which did formerly be- long or was in the possession of the said Charles Quinby in his life time, and I shall give you security into your said offices according as the laws directs. Josiah Quinby. Enter this as a caveat. Entered this first day of January, 1705. Benjamin Collier, CI. & Register." The town of Westchester was the shiretown of the county of that name from 1683 until the court house was burned in 1759. Bolton (II. 299) gives an extract from The Quinbt Family 89 the first record of the Court of Sessions, held there 1 Dec. 1691, John Pell, Justice, President of the Court; John Quinby, Jun., was a member of the Grand Jury. John?°™~'°**^'*'^ *''*°'^ regarding John' is hereinbefore set forth under 10. JosiAH' (John\ William^) born probably about 1663 at or near Westchester village in the county of that name in New York. Josiah married Mary Molyneux, the daughter of a neighbor, on the 17th 6 mo. 1689 (7th 6 mo. says Jenkins). An ancient record says: "The parents of Ann Mulneaux or MuUineaux or Molineaux God rest her, came from the North of Ireland. They were French Hugu- enots and Requiescant in pace." In 1720 he bought (see I. Bolton, 476) a tract of land of three hundred and twenty acres, described as the Great or Middle, Neck, jutting out into Long Island Sound, and constituting part of the town of Mamaroneck. In 1731 he was unsuccessful in defending his title to a part of this tract in an action for trespass. Many of the surrounding settlers were Quakers, a meeting having been established in 1686 at Mamaroneck, of which Josiah and his wife became members. His de- scendants to this day constitute the Quaker branch of the Quinby race. Orcutt's History of New Milford and Bridgeport, Conui, says: "In several meetings of the people called Quakers in the house of Josiah Quinby at Mamaroneck in ye county of Westchester and province of New York," etc. The official records of the Friends show that the Pur- chase (Westchester county) Monthly Meeting was held at the house of Josiah Quinby at Mamaroneck from 7 mo. 1728 to 9 mo. 1731; after that till the meeting house was built in 1739 it was held "at Mamaroneck," but at whose house does not appear on the record. Josiah is frequently mentioned in these Quaker records from 1727 on; and there is altogether in various archives enough to enable an enthusiastic descendant to compile a respectable biog- raphy of him; my own life is too short to do so. The real estate records indicate that Josiah Quinby was active up to 1738. In provincial times, says Arthur Haviland, a grant was made after the Bedford grant had been located and after Pell's and Harrison's grants, but before the White Plains grant, fron the Croton river near the Hudson, where it was a sharp wedge between the grants of Van Courtlandt and F. Phillipse, to the line of the colony of Connecticut, including the present towns of New- 90 The Qcamr Familt castle and Northcastle, and so eastward. These patents were bought by Josiah Quinby. In Bien's Atlas of New York, these three grants to Josiah are indicated as the East Patent, Middle Patent and West Patent. The Patentee who was probably an agent, transferred to var- ious grantees who conveyed by recorded deeds to Josiah Quinby. The land so acquired by him amounted to some 16000 acres, and Josiah attempted to have his holdings erected into a manor, like his neighbors on the Hudson river; although no legal action resulted, Josiah's practical position was the same. His household was kept in feudal fashion; he brought whole families of slaves from the Caro- linas or Virginia by water, from a plantation he acquired there. These colored families survive to this day, bearing the surname Pines, said to refer to the character of the southern land he brought them from. One old colored woman died aged over one hundred years as it is believed, within the recollection of Quinbys now living. Josiah Quinby built the old manor house, at Wampus Pond (Northcastle) in Westchester county, now disap- peared, cultivated his farm by slaves; and had flocks of sheep; he also cultivated flax at Northcastle, and on the stream below Wampus pond he had several mills. Mrs. Eliza, widow of Edward S. Quinby, now (1915) living at 2 Agate ave., Ossining, has several samples of these textile products. Josiah and his family travelled a good deal and often visited England. They took their drinking water with them in hogsheads from their favorite spring. The old house at Wampus Point, says Mr. Haviland, was not the Manor house but was built by Josiah's son Moses. He adds: "I am informed that the farm, a long way west of the Bronx river, of the Quinby who is baggage master at White Plains has descended without deed from the old manorial grant; and the tract of 274 acres recently sold by the late Edward S. Quinby was a part of the patent, and it was on this plot that the old homestead was built." Josiah Quinby witnessed the marriage of Richard Bur- ling of New York to Phoebe Ferris of Westchester, 4 mo. 11, 1700, at John Ferris's (Fr. re.) The Friends' records say: Mary Quinby of West- chester died in June, 1728; Josiah her husband died the same year. The children of Josiah' and Mary (Molyneux) Quinby, often referred to as twelve in number, (evidently omitting VI.) were as follows: 26. 26. The Quinby Family 91 I. Dorcas' Quinby, born 9, 9 mo. 1690; she mar- ried first John Clapp, Jr., "of Purchase, N. Y.," born 1690, died 1730, (Mott Genealogy, 363) who was Clerk of Westchester, 1704-11; she married second, John Griffin of Mamaroneck; II. JosiAH* Quinby, born 31, 3 mo. 1692 (see); III. Jonathan* Quinby, born 18, 2 mo. 1695 (see); Ihis date is from Mrs. Mary (Quinby) Weeks' Bible; Bolton gives it as 13 Feb. 1695, obviously a mistranslation of "2 mo." for the first month was March under Old Style. Mrs. Weeks' Bible says of Jonathan: "Our 3d borne 2 mo. 18, 27. IV. James* Quinby, born 18, 2 mo. 1695 (see); Bolton says "13 Feb. 1695, a twin with Jonathan;" a record made by Aaron' (Isaiah*, Josiah'), states that there were twelve children; another family record names James as a twin with Jonathan; 28. V. Samuel* Quinby, born 2nd 5 mo. 1697 (see); VI. (son)* Quinby, born 3d 2 mo. 1699, died 18th; 29. VII. Ephraim* Quinby, born 7th 2 mo. 1700 (see); 30. VIII.

Y.; Friends' records, Westchester, give "marr. int. 9, 11, 1731; rept. ace. 11, 13, 1731;" 32. XI. Daniel* Quinby, born 14th 1 mo. 1709 (see); XII. Phebe* Quinby, born 3d 3 mo. 1711; she married Jacob Hunt of Westchester; "mar. int. 5, 13, 1738; 6, 10, 1738; repd. ace. 7, 14, 1738" (Fr. rec); 33. XIII. Isaiah* Quinby, born 11th 4 mo. 1716 (see). "Lord of the Manor of Northcastle" Josiah' Quinby' s Ambition Josiah Quinby was always eager to acquire land, especially in Westchester county, in the province of New York. The earliest purchase by him which Mr. Haviland has found was of 4-20-1686 (White Plains, deeds, bk. A, p. 97), when Thomas Baxter and Rebekah his wife deeded to Josiah Quinby, then of the county and town of Westchester, three acres of meadow, "being taken out of two O-acte lots of meadow adjoining to the Great Creek and to a lot of meadow belonging to John Quinby, Sr., which said three acres of meadow was taken out of the lots of meadow that did formerly belong to John Pell and Thomas Molloney, Sr., which said three acres of meadow begins at a stake by the Great Creek, standing between the lot of John Quinby, Sr., and the lot which was of Thomas Molloney, Sr., and so running westward towards the Hammock." . The next piece acquired by Josiah Quinby he got by deed of 10-29-1688 (bk. B, p. 22) from John and Elizabeth Cromwell of Westchester for a stated consideration of six pounds, and described as "all that 8 acre division of land lying in the range of lots front- 92 The Quinbt Pamilt ing to the sheep pasture (so called) belonging to the town of West- chester and is in number the twenty-second lot." About the year 1709, Josiah inherited the home lot of his father in the town of Westchester; and he and his wife sold it by two conveyances first, 9-21-1709 (bk. D, p. 33) to John Penny for forty pounds, "all the home lot of my father John Quinby," bounded north by the common sheep pasture; to the south by lot formerly of Erasmus Alton, now in the occupation of the heirs of Henry Langley (lately deceased); to the east by the highway that leads to the town landing or mill, and to the west by the sheep common. John Penny retransferred it the same day (D, 89), and 10-3-1710, Josiah and Mary executed a new deed to Robert Hustes, describing the property as before, but referring to John Quinby as "lately deceased;" Dorcas Quinby was a witness to this deed. The book of the Court of Common Pleas (vol. D) shows that Josiah Quinby was appointed collector for the town of Mamaro- neck 6-7-1715 and again, 6-5-1722. A deed from Richard Cudner of Mamaroneck to Josiah Quin- by, (10-14-1717, bk. E, p. 408) sells to Josiah Quinby for twelve pounds, four and a half acres bounded "northerly by ye New Road and easterly by a small brook and southerly by Westchester old road and westerly by ye land which is now in possession of William Shaw, and so running northerly to ye first mentioned bound." Henry Disbrow of Mamaroneck, 1-2-1719 (bk. G, p. 257) sold to Josiah Quinby for sixteen pounds, three- quarters of an acre with a house ; the property was bounded, "beginning at the south end of a stone fence which goeth. over a small run, which lyeth southeasterly from said Henry Disbrow's house, thence running by and with the County Road until it meets with ye land of James Mott, and so run westward going with James Mott's land as far as it will come, to a certain Great Stone or Rock, which shall contain in all | acres running with a straight line unto ye first bounds." During the year 1719 and perhaps earlier, Josiah Quinby, who was then probably between fifty-five and sixty years of age, had been negotiating to acquire the three patents which he finally obtained, 1-24-1720 (bk. E. p. 402) by a deed from Isabella Davis, described as widow of William Davis, late of New York city, and sole execu- trix of tlie will of John Cholwell of 6-4-1716; Josiah Quinby was grantee with Richard Ogden of Rye, and afterwards acquired his interest. The deed grants for one hundred and seventy-four poundis, "all and every part, shares, divi- dends and proportions of ye Several tracts of land * * * pertaining to ye said John Cholwell," etc. This deed recites the three patents as follows: First, a grant of 2-14-1701, to R. Waller, L. Atwood, C. De Pey- The Quinbt Family 93 Map showing the Three Quinby Patents and the Adjacent Town Boundaries, Westchester County, New York (Drawn by Arthur Haviland, Esq.) 94 The Quinbt Family ster, C. Heathcote, M. Clarkson, J. Cholwell, R. Slater, L. Symons, R. Lurting, and B. Cosens, bounded westerly by ye Manor of Cortland, easterly by Bedford line of three miles square, ye Whitefield and Byram river, southerly by the land of John Harrison, the Rye line stretching to By- ram river aforesaid and the White Plains, and westerly by Bronx river and ye Manor of Phillipsburgh, excepting Richbell's patent, "according to ye lines of ye patent now in ye receipt of Col. C. Heathcote, which first above named tract was purchased by Col. C. Heathcote with others with whom he was agreed, excepting James Mott and Henry Disboro, whom he hath undertaken to satisfy; within said bounds, there are by estimation, five thousand acres of profitable land, besides water and woodland," together with, etc., "in free and common soccage as of the Manor of East Greenwich, in ye county of Kent, England," paying therefor the nominal rent of six and a quarter pounds. The second patent recited in the deed was a grant of 2-17 in the 14th year of the reign of the late King William to Col. C. H. J. Tinch, J. Horton, J. Purdy, R. Walter, L. Atwood, M. Clarkson, L. Symes, C. DePeyster, R. Slater, J. Cholwell, R. Lurting and B.

The third patent set forth in the deed of Mrs. Isabella Davis, as executrix of the will of John Cholwell to Josiah Quinby was the grant of 3-2, 14th year of King William, to R. Waller, J. Cholwell, L. Atwood, C. De Peyster, R. Slater, B. Cosens, L. Symons, M. Clarkson, R. Lurting, P. Math- ews and Caleb Heathcote, "bounded southerly by the east division line between ye Province of New York and ye Colony of Connecticut, and on ye east by ye other Divi- sion line and so long said line until it meets with ye patent line of Adolph Phillipse and so along his southern boundaries until it meets with ye patent of ye Manor of Courtland and from thence by a line that shall run upon a direct course until it meet with the end of the first easterly line of twenty miles of ye said Manor of Court- The Quinby FamoiT 95 landt, and from thence along said line westerly until it meet with the patent granted to R.

This deed was witnessed by Hannah Cholwell, Gabriel Ludlow, Jr., and George Ludlow. Notes — See "Report on the Lands in the Province of New York," by C. Colden (1732). Among the persons mentioned in the above deed, Caleb Heathcote was a member of the Governor's Council, 1693-7 and 1702-20; Judge of the County Court, Mayor of New York city, 1711-13; and interested in several West- chester county patents; R. Walters was also a member of the Council. Josiah Quinby was appointed by act of the General Assembly (5-25-1721) one of eight commissioners to lay out a Highway in Mamaroneck. It appears by the Westchester county records (vol. F, p. 130) that "whereas Josiah Quinby of Mamaroneck is invested by ye patentees of Rye to a right of the stream of Byram river and hath built grist mills thereon, which, by ponding ye water, occasions ye bridge over said River to be much longer." By the instrument filed, Josiah agreed to maintain those parts of the bridge from the east and west ends "to a Knotch this day cut there" by Robert Bloomer and Daniel Purdy, surveyors in the town of Rye in 1726. Another matter regarding this mill appears of record the following year (2-7-1727, bk. F, p. 217) in the shape of an agreement of arbitration between Josiah Quinby of the one part, and John and Jacobus Roosevelt and Abra- 96 The Quinbt Pamilt ham Van Wyck of New York of the other part, which recites that Jos^ah Quinby has built mills on the Byram river and delivered them to Messrs. Roosevelt and Van Wyck, and a misunderstanding has arisen as to payment, as the document appoints William Willett, Philip French and Joseph Field to determine how many bushels of wheat the mills can grind within six hours in one tide with both pair of stones, and agreeing on a price of £163 : lOsh. for every twelve bushels. The award was made 3-20-1727 (bk. F, p. 219) by Israel Vermilye and Benjamin Hicks, who reported that the mill was capable of grinding one hundred and forly-four bushels of wheat in one tide; they awarded £1962, less drawbacks of £751. In 1727 Josiah and Mary deeded their son Aaron a couple of parcels of land for a stated price of £153. The particulars are given further on under Aaron* Quinby.

(See p. 99.) The QxnNBT Family 99 FOURTH GENERATION 12. William* (William'', Robert'') the ancestor of the very numerous Quinbys and Quimbys of Weare, N. H., Sandwich, N. H., and Lyndon, Vt., is to be described with his descendants in a later volume. It is all that can here be said, that he married first, at Amesbury, about 1716, Hannah, daughter of Joseph == and Mary (Jewell) Barnard, and on her death he married second, 9 Jan. 1729, Martha Eastman. He had nine children, the sons, with the year of birth, being as follows: 34. Samuel ' Quinbt, born 1718; 35. Joseph' QuiNBY, born 1721; 36. Enoch' Quinbt, born 1723; 37. Aakon' Quinby, born 1733; 38. Moses » Quinby, born 1733; 39. William » Quinby, born 1749. 13. Joseph* (Robert^ Robert*) born at Amesbury, Mass., perhaps about 1683-4, was known as Joseph Quinby, Jr., to distinguish him from his uncle Joseph* until about 1730. He was the owner of a good deal of real estate in Amesbury, Salisbury, and vicinity, and was a farmer. He was frequently plaintiff in the courts and was sometimes sued, as appears by the record following. Curiously enough there are no records of birth, marriage or death to be found in connection with him. By Rachel', daughter of Moses* and Rebecca (Barnes) Morrill (born 12 Aug. 1686), he had the following children: 40. I. Joseph' Quinby, born 1715 (see); 41. II. Benjamin* Quinby, born 1715 (see); Note — An account of these Morrill and Barnes families appears in New England Family History. Note — Joanna who married Thomson, appears in legal documents in such a connection as to lead to the conclusion that she was another child by the same mother. Joseph* Quinby by Lydia*, daughter of John' and Elizabeth (Challis) Hoyt (born 15 June, 1686), published 10 July, 1717, had the following children, born at Ames- bury: III. Ann' Quinby, born 6 July 1718; married 26 Oct. 1754, Elijah Currier; IV. Hannah' Quinby, born 11 Oct. 1721, died unmar- ried 14 Sept. 1786. (I. Essex Antiquarian, 164). Another record gives her age as 69; 100 The Quinbt Family V. Daniel' Quinbt, born 28 July, 1723, died 8 Nov. 1729; VI. Robert' Quinby, born 5 Apr. 1725, died 11 Nov. 1729; (Ames. Rec); 42. VII.

In 1731, he was allowed £3 : 5sh. against William Hookley of Amesbury on a note for £20. 10 Sept. 1736, against John Page of Salisbury on a bond for £23, dated 14 Apr. 1735. Joseph* Quinby died about 1745, for 5 July of that year his estate was appraised at the unusually large sum of £433 : 4 : 2, and his widow, Lydia, was appointed ad- ministratrix.

JoHN< (John^, John^, William') born 1^686 at Wampus pond, Northcastle, Westchester county, New York; married first in 1720, but the name of his wife is unknown; by her he had James and Solomon. John* settled first at Yonkers, Westchester county, and later at Milbury on the Hudson. John married second, Lawrence. All foregoing is on the authority of Dodd's MS.; but Dpdd sets forth that the grandfather of the above John' is unknown and indicates that he believes him not to be descended from William!. The fact that Dodd admits him to have been born at Wampus, in Westchester county. Wampus itself the ancestral home of William' and his descendants, seems to be conclusive against Dodd's theory; and Dodd made many errors; e. g., that Josiah « (son of John) married Hannah Cornell. The printed statement in the "Founders and Builders of the Oranges" and elsewhere, that Josiah, the ancestor of the New Jersey family was a son of John* (John'', William') rests on no authority and is wholly in- credible. The late Mrs. Nelson Wright's statement that Josiah was a son of John" (William') is still more unlikely, as the dates show. In other words, Josiah who settled at Orange, N. J., aaid sired that line was born 1726; all the records agree that Hannah Cornell, (his mother according The Quinby Family 113 to the Wright theory) was born 1711; and in her will makes no mention of any son. J. L. Lewis & Co.'s Genealogical History of New Jersey contains a number of misstatements. It omits some of Josiahs children, and adds John who married Anna Kier- stadt, who was in reality no son of Josiah, but his brother. The untrustworthy "Founders and Builders" states that Josiah', son of John^ and Deborah (Haight) Quinby mar- ried Mary Williams, evidently a misprint for Mary Mul- hneaux. An ancient manuscript in possession of Col. Ira» Quin- by of Morris, N. Y., states that John Quinby married in New York a daughter of John Lawrence and his wife, Mary Townley; compare this with Dodd's statement that this John's grandfather John Quinby, who married "Deborah, daughter of Charles Townley, who was a son or grandson of John Townley;" and with an ancient manuscript con- cerning which Mr. W. Beach Plume told me that it was owned by one Charles Quinby, and was for use in the claim of the descendants of Anneke Jans to a vast amount of real estate in New York city. It is said to be now in the pos- session of George W. Tompkins, Esq., of Mt. Pleasant Ave- nue, Newark, N. J. I have never been able to get a sight of it. Mr. Plume said that it set forth that John^ (Wil- liam^) married Deborah, daughter of Lord John Townley of England. Of course this can be nothing but a memoran- dum of an imperfect tradition. There never has been a noble family of Townleys. It seems probable, however, either that there were two John Quinbys, one the son of William", who married Deborah Haight; the other whose father's name is unknown and who married Deborah Town- ley; or what is much more likely on all the evidence that John'' Quinby had two wives. That the name of either was Townley is extremely unlikely for there is no Deborah of that family of the right age; and further, the pedigree of that family has been very thoroughly worked out, but without showing this alleged Quinby marriage; see History of the Lawrence-Townley Estates, etc., by James Usher, N. Y., 1883, and especially the Lawrence-Townlej-Chase book by Frank Alden Hill, Boston, 1888; and Passaic Genealogies, p. 438. John Quinby moved from the borough and town of Westchester about 1714 to Bedford in the same county, for he is described as of the former town when he bought from Jonathan Shepherd of Westchester, 12-13-1714 (bk. E, p. 95), two acres in Bedford "bounded easterly by a highway (8) 114 The Quinbt Pamilt and westerly by a highway, and south by Daniel Jones and Josiah Jones land, and north by Richard Wescott's land," also, four acres of swamp land lying near Beaverdam river, which I bought of David Cousin of Standford and is bounded as the records of said Jones wUl make appear;" also "two and one-half acres of meadow lying in a place known by the name of the Narrows and is bounded, as follows: southerly by Jonathan Miller's meadow and easterly by the common land together with a £75 right of commonage." Somehow or other, John Quinby acquired a good deal more land adjoining the first plot above mentioned, for three years later, 12-10-1717 (bk. E, p. 192), he sold forty- nine and one-half acres in Bedford "bounded northerly by ye Highway, easterly to ye land of Josiah Jones, southerly by other lands of John Waiscott, west by ye lands of Rich- ard Westcott" (with a £75 privilege). John Quinby was described as "of the town of Bedford, county of West- chester, yeoman." Why John left Bedford does not yet appear, but book D of the Court of Common Pleas, West- chester county, shows that John was having a particularly lively time during the three years while he lived in Bed- for'd. The index entries are as follows: 5- 9-1714: Jennings vs. Quinby, withdrawn; 12- 7-1714: John Quinby and others appeared to take his recognizance (i. e., to give bond of some kind); the Court ordered it to be delivered on paying the fees; 6- 9-1715: Jennings vs. Quinby, adjourned; 2-13-1716: Jennings vs. Quinby, adjourned; 12- 8-1717: King vs. Quinby, ordered to give special bail in ye afternoon, and ye plaintiff a month time to file his declaration; 6- -1718: King vs. Quinby, adjourned. According to the New Jersey family's traditions, John Quinby was born "at Wampus in 1686;" but doubt is cast on this year by a Common Pleas Court entry of 12-1-1713, which shows that Thomas Baxter was appointed guardian of John Quinby, son of John Quinby, deceased. As he bought the Bedford land 3 Dec. 1714, he was then of age, and born about 1693. It is possible that his unpleasant experiences- of litiga- tion and the courts so soon after he attained his majority, disgusted him with New York, and sent him to New Jersey; The Quinby Family 115 at any rate, no further record of him on the Westchester county records has been found. The following list of children of John Quinby is as given in the Dodd MS. and I am personally satisfied of its correctness. No other list has come to light, and the other New^ Jersey genealogists have never mentioned any of John's children but Josiah, their ancestor, who is perhaps the only son who went to New Jersey. 69.

Note — Quinby Graveyard at Wampus pond: September 18, 1910, my wife and I arrived from Armonk, in Westchester county, N. Y., on the beautiful macadam road to Mt. Kisco at Wampus pond. A tranquil sheet of water in area perhaps twenty-five acres, dimpled in the sun, creeping out froni the shade of high wooded bluffs across to the road. Not a house is in sight as we reach the outlet of the pond, an ancient hewn stone dam through which runs a rivulet. A notice on a tree calls attention to the city ownership of the pond and surroundings as a part of the metropolitan reservoir watershed. Undaunted we crawl under the fence and a warden appears; he tells us it was the Quinby estate and that the region is Northcastle; it was fortunate he told us, else we should not have found on the deeply wooded hillside the ancient family burial place. It was apparently unvisited by man for many y^ars — no outlines — merely a few home-cut stones standing meekly, overwhelmed by green bushes; not a path amongst them. Across the rivulet from the road, up the hillside, around and through the tangle for a hundred yards and a rude headstone and footstone appear — not a foot high, selected per- haps from a neighboring wall and unlettered. A hundred feet further up the hill and just before the boundary wall appear al- most in a row, five other low shapeless flat upstanding slabs let- tered as near as could be deciphered: I. Q.; A. Q.; A. Q.; 184; H. Q. 1821; S. Q. 180. Twenty years earlier, however, Mary Jane Field and Frank H.

It is impossible to determine the father of James (born 1714) the Quaker patriarch of Marlborougjh, Ulster county, N.

Possible child by a supposed first wife: 72. I. James' Quinby, born 1741 in Westchester county (see); Josiah* married Hannah* Cornell (^Richard*, John^, Thomas^, Richard^), of Scarsdale, Westchester county, N. Y. She was born 1711, say the records; it is therefore likely tht she was a second wife. The only recorded child is by wife Hannah: II. Mary' Quinby, born 5 May, 1730, says John Cox, Jr., custodian of Friends' records; married 15 July, 1748, at Mamaroneck, Westchester county, N.

She is described as of New Rochelle, Westchester county; left a brother John Cornell; a daughter, Mary t^ornell; and seven Cornell grandsons, the eldest being Quinby Cornell. Watson's Annals of Pennsylvania, (No. 17, p. 41.7) cites from a contemporary source the following: "1723, Josiah Quinby of Westchester, New York, a Friend, Adver- tises that he has discovered Perpetual Motion, and to be moved by the North Star, etc.!! and to be combined with the influence of a well of water, over which his machinery should work." Josiah S says a descendant, "was of an in- ventive turn of mind, and it is interesting to read the fol- lowing letter of introduction to Governor Thomas of Penn- sylvania given Josiah by Governor Lewis Morris of New Jersey, who was a resident of Westchester and a neighbor of the Quinbys. What the outcome of Josiah Quinby's negotiations with Governor Thomas and John Penn were, I cannot say, but it does not appear that any test of the invention referred to was ever made. The letter is as follows : February 23, 1740 (1) Trenton. Sir: — The bearer hereof, Josiah Quinby, has been long a neighbor of mine in the province of New York. He has a very good mechanical head and has been successful in several projections. He is now upon a scheme of an extra- ordinary nature, but will be of great use and wonderful advantage especially to these American parts and partic- ularly to your city of Philadelphia if it succeeds. One part of it is by fire vessels constructed and managed in a particular manner to destroy any number of ships of war coming to attack any sea port or place situated on a nav- igable river and that without danger to the defendants or place besieged. The other is by machines of no great ex- pense to burn the sayles and rigging of any such ships and in probability ye ships themselves (in case the burning of the sayles and rigging will do it) before, or as soon as they can reach the place. He has a very large share of natural abilities of mind and being a Quaker is willing to believe his scheme will not prove unacceptable to friends, being calculated only to destroy ships and not take away the lives of men. He has communicated his scheme to me, as I suppose he will to you and Mr. Penn if you desire it, but in such manner as not to be made publick without his con- sent. To me, who have not competent knowledge in the pyrotechnical science to forme a proper judgment concern- ing them, they carry an appearance of probability; but you 118 The Quinby Family may have some knowing men that may discover their de- fects or render them more fit for the purpose than they are, should there be any occasion to use them, w'ch I hope you never will; and am etc. L.

Anno Domini 1725 then personally appeared Joshua Wheeler ye subscriber to ye foregoing instrument written on this and the other side of this paper and acknowledged ye same to be his own free act and deed. Mathew Allyn before John Hooker, Asist. Josiah* Quinby, Jr., was twenty-two years old when he followed his father's example in acquiring land in the town of Mamaroneck. He bought from James Mott of that town by a deed of 12-27-1714 (bk. E, p. 82) for eighty pounds, a tract of two hundred acres "bounded westerly by a red oak tree, marked, so running northerly till it meet The Qotnbt Familt 119 with a walnut tree marked and northerly by a lot of land northwesterly belonging to Col. Caleb Heathcote, being one of ye long lots and ye 2nd in number, and easterly by a lot of land which ye said James Mott hath conditionally given to {illegible) of John Mott; southerly by a tract of land belonging to Col. Caleb Heathcote,— ye said tract of land which James Mott sells unto Josiah Quinby, Jr., is ye first in number of ye long lots." Nothing further can be identified on the Westchester county registry as a purchase by Josiah Quinby, Jr., until 1731, when he and his wife Hannah, residents of Mamaro- neck, sold to John Coles and Peter Boyd by deed of 1-4- 1731 (bk. G, p. 153) for £153, one hundred acres, the boundary "beginning at a chestnut tree, bounded on ye southeasterly by Peter Boyd's lot and John Mott's; north- easterly by William Peener's lot so-called, now in posses- sion of ye heirs of Caleb Heathcote and Josiah Quinby and then beginning at ye aforesaid chestnut tree and so reach- ing to ye northeast corner of Nehemiah Palmer's lot and then to run within 2 rods to ye east of ye Cart road that goes to Samuel Quinby's house until it makes up ye quan- tity of one hundred acres." In 1733 an agreement was put on record from which we get a good deal of information about Josiah Quinby, Jr.'s land transactions. He was then forty-one years old. The document says that William Anderson and others, in the name of John Rushton their lessee, have brought their action in ejectment against David Brundige and a number of others for lands claimed by Joseph DeLancey, Esq., Peter Franconier, Cornelius De Peyster, David Clarkson and Peter Symes, as owners of six-tenths interest in "that tract in Westchester county that commonly goes by the name of Franconier's patent." The deed then tells us that Josiah Quinby "hath pur- chased one-twentieth part of same, and sold to adverse persons," and that the above . Anderson and his associates, through their man Rushton had brought two actions in the Supreme Court, against Jonathan Ogden and Isaac Ander- son. Josiah Quinby agrees to defend the above actions now pending and defray expenses; while Delancey, Fran- conier and the rest agree that Josiah shall "lay his right to six hundred acres of land within the patent which have already been taken up by his consent or order betweeh the west and middle branch of the Byram river and are now in possession of sundry persons claiming under him," and they further agreed that Josiah Quinby "shall have his 120 The Quinbt Family selection of two hundred acres within the same patent as lies to the westward of that tract of land deemed and taken to be Bedford Three Miles Square, and within such part of such tract as is commonly called the Bedford New Pur- chase, in one square piece." Josiah Quinby was a claimant or owner of the com- mon lands of New Rochelle, as appears by an agreement of 12-9-1735 (bk. G, p. 138) between a number of such, in- cluding Josiah, appointing Capt. O. B. Cobb, A. Lispenard, A. Allaire and others to divide up the lands. Josiah had evidently acquired a good deal of other property, for in a deed of 10-3-1738 (bk. G, p. 322) from him and Hannah his wife, of Mamaroneck, to Richard Cornell of the same place, it is recited that Josiah was entitled by purchase to lands in the Great and Middle Neck of John Richbell's patent in Mamaroneck, in com- pany with Richard Cornell and others; and that Josiah Quinby was also entitled to certain land "in ye patent of John Pell," both tracts being undivided. By this deed Josiah transferred to Richard Cornell three hundred acres to be taken out of both tracts when divided; also a farm and improvements at Horse Ridge," supposed to be in ye said patents and be ye quarter part of ye said three hun- dred acres;" also a dwelling house in Mamaroneck with one and a half acres "bounded easterly by ye County Road, northerly and westerly by land of Henry Disbrow, and southerly by ye land of James Mott"; together with stock and implements and household goods. For all of this prop- erty Richard Cornell paid the goodly sum of nine hundred pounds. Note: Cornell. Showing intermarriages with Quinby: 1. Thomas 1 Cornell married Rebecca Briggs; had 2. Richard * Cornell, immigrant ancestor, died about 1 693 ; his son 3. Thomas' Cornell had a son 4. John* Cornell, of Cow Neck, Long Island, who was living in 1677 and married Mary Russell. Two of their sons were Richardl' Cornell who removed in 1725 to Westchester county; he was born 1675 and died 1758; and Joshua' Cornell, who married Sarah Thome.

He went to New Jersey; I find no record as yet of marriage or children. There is in the Pennsylvania Colonial records the following letter from Jonathan ^ "Solebury, August 24, 1759. "Friend Peters: I desire to know whether I can have any assistance in regaining the island that I possessed under a survey of the Penn right, that lies nigh to Pennsyl- vania shore on the river Delaware. I have made inquiry of several attorneys-at-law, and find by much advice that I should be jointly in the action against him, otherwise he will plead that the Penns never possessed the island; but if I am jointly in the action, either in siezing the crop that is upon the said island or in a suit at law to bring to jus- tice the offender, I desire that if thee will assist me in that way or any other to send orders that it be done at Septem- ber Court. I find by advice that there is no danger of losing the cause. If thee will send an order up to George Ely's that I may have it to carry on an action against Richard Minton the said offender, I will take care that it shall be carried on next Court, and if it can be carried on either way, I will be equal in the cost, for I know if we have the benefit of the laws we shall not lose the cause. N. B. I say the less in this paper, because I have given my complaint in more at large in several other papers. I desire we may have Benjamin Chew to carry on the cause, and if we cannot have him I will see and fee another at- torney. Jonathan Quinby. Directed to Mr. Richard Peters, in Phila." The island is a few miles above Bull's Island (which is opposite Raven Rock Station, Belvidere R. R.) and op- posite Point Pleasant.

Itaia O 150 The Quinby FAioiiT King, President of the Maine Genealogical Society, of which only one hundred copies were printed. As with it were identified a number of the families who intermarried with the Quinbys, I present an old woodcut of the second building, which was built and turned over to the parish 17 July, 1740. The pews on the lower floors were reserved for the proprietors. Fortunately two plans of the ground floor, showing the pew holders in 1753 and in 1788 have been preserved and copies of these plans redrawn, are also pub- lished here, the plates kindly loaned by Dr. Alfred King of Portland. The exterior of the house remained unfinished till 1756, and it was not painted till after the revolution. Mr. King says: "In 1760 the building was enlarged in accordance with plans submitted by Simon Gookin in 1753, by sawing it through the middle and moving each end twelve feet, thereby making room for twenty-eight more pews on the ground floor. At the same time a tower for the bell was raised at the west end of the building, porches built over the east and south entrances. The woodcut represents its appearance subsequent to the alterations commenced in 1760; divest it of tower and porches and reduce its length by one quarter and we may picture the original structure. As will be noticed in the plan, among the original pew- holders were Joshua Freeman, Joseph* Quinby, and Esq. Charles Frost. In 1788 as the plan indicates, here were be- sides those just mentioned also among the pewholders the families of Dole, Titcomb, Haskell and Cobb, all connected with the Quinby family. 41. Benjamin' Quinby (Joseph* Robert^, Robert'') and his twin brother Joseph * were the eldest sons of Joseph^ Qxiinby, "Jr." and were born in 1715 in Massa- chusetts, probably at Amesbury. He had learned the fuller's art — or the methods of cloth manufacture — at Salem ^y the time he was well into his twenties; and in his twerily-sixth year he had found a place supplying waterpower and other advantages suffi- cient for starting a cloth factory of his own, at Somers- worth. New Hampshire, across the river from Berwick on the Salmon Falls river, at a place called Quamphegan. He had made up his mind to live there, and became a member of Capt. John Hill's Company of Berwick, 22 Oct. 1740, "training day included," says the record (II. Me. H. & G. Rec. 204). The Quinbt Pamilt 151 There were no ready made clothes for sale in those days and consequently no persons whose occupation was what we understand by the term "clothier;" that word was m use to designate one who manufactured cloth, or had, as they said in those days, a "fulling mill." Benjamin Quinby bought a mill privilege at the place above described, 1 Dec. 1741, from three Robertses, Love, Samuel and Sarah, who were residents of Somersworth. In the deed Quinby is called "clothier, of Salem, Mass.", and the location of his mill privilege is thus described: "at Quamplegen at Somersworth, there where ye Saw Mill lately stood called ye old Brigg" (26 N. H. Deeds, 134). The Rev. E. S. Stackpole in "Old Kittery and Her Families," says of the spot where Benjamin Quinby com- menced business as fuller: "The tract of land called Quam- phegan was the private estate of Sagamore Rowles, it seems. March 19, 1650, he sold it to Thomas Spencer for five pounds. It was 'a Parcel of Land called by the Name of Quamphegan & bounded betwixt the two little fresh Creebs nearest adjoining unto the same & the uppermost Bounds in Length to go to the First little Swamp that lieth at the Upper End of the said Ground.' The name was extended to the falls near the present bridge at South Berwick, and then to the river and to a region on both sides of the river. In a deed from John Clark to Thomas Abbot, 3 Sept. 1701, the parcel of land sold by Sagamore Rowles is described as 'bounded on ye Southwest side by ye brook next below the falls and by Humphey Chad- bourn's farm on ye Northwest end by land of John Crafford, the maine river and Salmon fall brook bounding the re- mainder:' In a deed from Thomas Abbot to his son, 30 Jan. 1710, fifty acres are described as being 'in Dover, at a place commonly called by the name of Quamphegan.' John Lovering and son John had dwelt there since 1663. As early as 1652 Capt. Thomas Wiggin and Mr. Simon Bradstreet had erected a saw-mill there." This business completed, Benjamin returned to Massa- chusetts and visited his sweetheart, Anne Plummer, of Rowley, and caused their marriage intention to be recorded at Salem, 6 July, 1742; and 4 Nov. 1742, they were mar- ried at Rowley by Jedediah Jewett, and the marriage is recorded at Rowley where the bride had lived and at Salem, Benjamin's place of residence (6 Essex Inst. Hist. Coll., 155). Benjamin's capital having no doubt been reduced by his purchase of the waterpower, and more money being ce tne sum lor repayment as the 152 The Quinby Family imperatively needed, he borrowed from Samuel Moody of Newbury, 23 Nov. 1742, the sum of seventy-five pounds — a sum vastly greater in purchasing power then than now. He gave his bond in twice the sum for repayment as the custom was; and his sig- nature thereto is here re- produced. In the bond Benja- min described himself as "clothier, of Berwick" (Salem Records, drawer 1758, package 2). He and his wife then went to the site of his future business to live, and there, 8 Oct. 1743, he purchased of Elisha Andrews of Berwick further rights in the water- power upon "Quamphegon Falls on the southwest side of the river, that is to say one-half quarter part of a single saw which is three days in one month, with a privilege of the logg hill & all the water and water courses with the privilege of the land which was given with the said stream" (40 N. H. Deeds, 327). A week later, Oct. 16, 1743, Benjamin Quinby's first child was born, Jacob® Quinby. Benjamin ^ Quinby continued to increase his water- power rights, and 25 Mar. 1747, he bought of Samuel Libby of Berwick, the right of two more days a month in the same privilege "of one saw, being ye stream saw in said mill next Dover Shore" (40 N. H. Deeds, 329). August 10 of the same year he bought an additional six days a month in the same privilege, "or one-fourth Part of one Saw in a Double Saw Mill" (40 N. H. Deeds, 330). In both of the foregoing deeds Benjamin was described as "clothier, of Somersworth." The Colonial court files at Concord, N. H., show the following : 1747, Aug. 13, Summersworth. Petition of the Parish Selectmen that Mr. Benjamin Quinby living at Quamphegon in this Parish be licensed to keep a tavern, — "himself to be an Honest Suflficient Person to keep the same" (Court files. No. 22292). 1750, Aug. 24, Writ of attachment. Debt of 264 pounds "current money equal to old tenor" due Archibald Smith of Summersworth, from Benjamin Quinby, Clothier, of Summersworth, promissory note; bill of costs; execution; endorsement: "the within execution satisfied" (No. 17690). 1754, Nov. 28, Writ of Attachment. Debt of 24 pounds, 10 shillings Old tenor due David Parker of Billerica, Thb Quinbt Family 153 Mass., from Benjamin Quinby, clothier of Summersworth. "A chear attached, value two shillings" (No. 8058). Samuel Moody having waited for his money for six- teen years — or perhaps waited to catch Benjamin within the jurisdiction — sued 2 May, 1758, for twice the amount of the loan, as the bond permitted, and got a body attach- naent 16 May. Perhaps Moody got his money; for the bill of costs on file indicates that the attachment was duly made. Thomas Sanders of Amesbury, perhaps Benjamin's early instructor in the art of cloth manufacturing, seeing the result of the lawsuit, tried the same method 3 July, 1760. Benjamin, it seems, had borrowed three pounds, fourteen shillings and eight pence, 6 Feb. 1756, and given his note for £28, old tenor, of the value in lawful money of the first sum named. Sanders sued for nine pounds. Ben- jamin's signature on the note is ^^ e,^/7 copied here: yiorfU' UloAif^ Execution was issued 28 May, <^ ^ ff «^ never married. After the usual prehmmanes the will goes on as follows: Will of Josiah ' Quinby K^^ FIRST: I desire my executors hereafter named to bury my +k5^ j ?u ^^^^^^ manner if I should decease near either of tt»em, and then soon after I desire them to take an inventory of all my goods and chattels and all my personal and movable estate that they may think worth their notice or proper to inventory and nrst pay the expense of my last sickness or illness and my funeral Charges and then as soon as they can conveniently all my just u J^^^r'- ^ S'^® ^^^ bequeath unto Elijah Quinby, son of mv brother, Moses Qumby, all my houses and land and salt meadow that I have joining unto the Tow Landing and Great Creek in Westchester, it being the Tenement that I and Ebenezar Havi- land bought of Hezekiah Glover and Thomas Baxter.

Lawrence, 1858). The following memorandum of a conversation with Abraham Underbill of Yorktown is reported in Bolton's History of Westchester County, III. 412: "The house of James Quinby, near the Spencer place, now owned by Doctor Pearsall, was often robbed during the Revolutionary War, and the family had a place of concealment to which they always fled whenever attacked on these occasions. One night Robert Underbill, James Underbill and Isaac Mekeel were stopping here, when Robert Underbill proposed de- fending the premises should the robbers make their ap- pearance during their stay ■ — provided James his cousin, would only assist him. Singularly enough, the maraud- ers came that very night, demanding entrance; but the heart of James failed him, and he fled with the rest, Rob- ert, however, provided himself with a large club and ar- ranged chairs along the entry, upon which he suddenly commenced a violent attack, striking furiously with his club, at the same their stamping furiously on the floor and making all the noise possible, as though there were others aiding him on the inside, then he would strike the door and dare the robbers to come on saying, 'we are ready for you this time!' adding occasionally the hoarsp blast of a conch- shell. The marauders somewhat bewildered, contented themselves with firing a volley into the house, which for- tunately missed its brave defender, and retired. The de- feated 'Cowboys' afterwards reported that they thought 'the Devil was in the house.' " The census of 1790 gives James Quinby as living along- side of his brother Moses and the latter's son Daniel. James Quinby's family included besides himself, and wife, two males over 16, one male under 16, and six females; evi- dently another family, perhaps a sister's, lived with him. Mrs. Anne, or Anna, as it appears on the Friends' record, evi- ^a< 186 The Qxjinbt FamUjY dently died after the birth of her son Aaron in February, 1794, and James * Quinby married second, at Amawalk, 12 mo. 16,1795, Hannah*, daughter of Isaac* and Sarah (Field) Underbill of Yorktown; to marry her, he took from the Amawalk Preparative Meeting, 12, 10, 1795, a "certificate of clear" to the Chappaqua Meeting. The Friends' record reads: "marr. int. 11, 13, 1795; 12, 11, 1795; reptd. ace. 1, 15, 1796." James * Quinby died in 1799, and his widow married at Westchester 10 mo. 14, 1818, Isaac, son of Michael and 'Milcha' Mekeel of Yorktown, deceased, and took a removal certificate 2 mo. 11, 1819, to Amawalk, as Hannah I. Mekeel. She was born 15 July, 1769, and died 4 Oct. 1846 (II. Bolton, 405). James Quinby's will was dated 12 mo. 6, 1797, proved at White Plains 20 Apr. 1799 (lib. B, p. 104). It mentions wife Hannah, sisters Elizabeth Bowns and Phoebe Bartow or Barton; daughter Amy to have lands and £200 if she live to be 18; son Aaron, if he live to be 21; legacies £100 to £500 each; wife Hannah and brother Josiah Quinby to be executors.

They had Benjamin' Kip born 21 Mar. 1703, removed to Westchester county, married Dorothy Daven- port and died, 1782. Two of his sons married sisters, daughters of Samuel Haight, thus: Abraham' Kip, born 22 Mar. 1743, married Phoebe Haight, and Jesse* Kip, born 23 Feb. 1740, married Ann Haight. The issue of these two marriages were double cousins; two of them had the temerity however, to marry sisters, daughters of Samuel' Quinby, (Moses*, Josiah', John', William^), thus: Abraham', son of Abraham* Kip, married Catherine" Quinby and John', son of Jesse* Kip, married Ann* Quinby. (Compiled from data in Bolton's History of Westchester, edition of 1881, page 742).

Francis^ (Moses^, Josiah^, John^, William^) born 9 mo. 30, 1734, married 4 mo. 16, 1767, at Chappaqua, Westchester county, N. Y., Esther, daughter of Benjamin and Deborah Smith of Northcastle; "mar. int. 3, 12, 1767; 4, 9, 1767; rept. ace. 5, 14, 1767." (Fr. re.) Francis was no doubt the one mentioned in the U. S. census of 1790, for in that year he was head of a family at Northcastle, consisting of his wife and three other females, and two boys under 16. Isaiah and Obediah had families there then. Twenty years later, by the census of 1810, Francis Quinby's residence, no doubt in the same locality, is called Eastchester, Westchester county. The Francis there men- tioned and his wife were "45 years old and upwards" and no doubt two of the above daughters, or one and a daugh- ter-in-law, were the two "white females over 26" who with his wife, constituted the grown-up women mentioned in the census of 1810. His family (if the same Francis) then also included a boy under 10, one between 10 and 16, one be- tween 16 and 26, one between 26 and 45, (perhaps Francis' son or son-in-law, and parent of the young boys and girls) Ami, 9io.t.4^3^Jpy^^f'% &:^^ Family Record of 848amiiel5 and Anne (Powell) Quixby.

Josiah* (Moses*, Josiah', John^, William^) born 3 mo. 20, 1741, at Northcastle, Westchester county, N. Y. (Albert M. * Quinby gives his great-grandfather Josiah's birth as 2 mo. 28, 1741, at Quaker Hill, Dutchess county, N. Y., and another family record says 1 mo. 28). _ Josiah married first, 8 mo. 15, 1764, Phoebe, born 3 mo. 29, 1745, daughter of Thomas and Mary Vail of Rye, Westchester county; Phoebe died 4 mo. 26, 1776, aged 27. Miss Wil- helmina' Quinby says: "My great-great-grandparents were married in the Friends' Meeting House at Perches (Pur- chase), Westchester county; the Vails at that time owned slaves." A letter from Mrs. Mary H. (Quinby) Weeks, dated Mt. Kisco, Westchester county, 3, 19th, 1885, lent me by Miss M. W. Quinby, The Temple, Chicago, says: "My grandfather's name was Josiah Quinby, was born 1741, married Phebe Vail, who was born 1745. They were married in Friends' Meeting House at Parchis. Although the house is still standing, it has been very often repaired and is in good order now. I must now tell thee a little circumstance at the close of the meeting after they were married: My great-grandfather Vail arose and asked every one to his house to dine, and it was told to me that every one went except one old woman, and she was deaf and did 190 The Qxjinby PamUjT not hear the invitation. I suppose thee is well aware that in that day they were not formal in giving invitations. I must also add that at that time some Friends kept slaves, which my grandfather Vail did at that time, and wished to confer some on his daughter, which my grandfather Quinby refused to receive, preferring to hire his help, and Friends soon set all their slaves free. My ancestors were all Friends as far as I can trace them. And I have the record of the Quinbys. One grandfather married in 169-. I have not his birth but his name was Josiah Quinby." Josiah * Quinby married second, 9 mo. 19, 1786, at Chappaqua, Westchester county, Mellicent, born 3 mo. 23, 1749, daughter of David and Mary La,ne of Northcastle ijn the same county ("marr. intent. 12, 9, 1785; 1, 13, 1786; reptd. ace. 2, 10, 1786;" Fr. re.) Samuel Smith's Journal (IX. Friends' Miscellany, 145) says: "On 30th we stopped at Josiah Quinby's at Eastchester, and then rode to James Quinby's at Westchester; these Friends are nephews to Isaiah Quinby of New Jersey." The census of 1790 gives Josiah Quinby at North- castle as head of a family consisting of himself and one boy over 16 and five females; this fits with the record of this fam- ily; but the census adds two boys under 16 years, whom I cannot identify. Josiah * died 2 mo. 3d, 1816, says one copy of the Friends' record; 2 mo. 8th, says another copy; the list made by Robert Dodge the coffin-maker at Chappaqua gives 2 mo. "8d.;" which is preceded by the record of "Josiah, d. 22 : 3 mo. 1814." The will of Josiah Quinby of Newcastle, Westchester county, was dated 11 mo. 1, 1814, and was proved at White Plains 20 Feb. 1816 (liber. G, p. 94). The testator mentions wife 'Melison;' daughter Abigail; son William; daughters Mary Fowler, Elizabeth Underhill and Phoebe Griffin. The executors were son William; son-in-law Caleb Underhill and brother-in-law Benjamin Lane. Children of Josiah 5 Quinby, with dates as given in the family Bible owned by Mrs. Mary (Quinby) Weeks: I. Abigail' Quinby, born 4 mo. 27, 1765; in 1828 at the schism between unitarian and trinitarian Quakers, Abigail remained with the latter while most of the Quinby Quakers became Hicksites, or unitarian; she was a member of the Chappaqua Monthly Meeting; she died 1 mo. 2, 1836, aged 70y. 8m. 25d.; Croton Valley Preparative Meet- ing; her will dated 1 mo. 16, 1831, is recorded at White Plains, bk. R, p. 397; in it she mentions The Quinby Family 191 (her brother) William Quinby's daughters Hannah and Mary, to whom she leaves wearing apparel; she names Wood, Lane and Underbill nieces and nephews; also (her sister) Elizabeth, wife of Caleb Underbill;. to her, she leaves one-third of the farm if Elizabeth becomes a widow; 237. II. William ' Quinby, born 6 mo. 29, 1766 (see) ; III. Mary» Quinby; born 12 mo. 24, 1768; married 10 mo. 19, 1786, at Chappaqua, John, son of James and Hannah Fowler of Northcastle; the Friends' records say: "marr. int. 9, 15, 1786; 10, 13, 1786; reptd. ace. 11, 10, 1786; orderly except that 4he young woman which Sat with them Stood up with them at the marage which was not agreable;" IV. Elizabeth" Quinby, born 1 mo. 9, 1774; married 6 mo. 16, 1761, at Chappaqua, Caleb ', son of Isaac' and Sarah Underbill ("marr. int. 5, 13, 1791; 6, 10, 1791."); By his wife Millicent, Josiah ^ had: V. Phoebe* Quinby, born 5 mo. 27, 1787; married at Chappaqua, 10 mo. 15, 1807, Job, son of John, Jr. and Esther Griffin of Newcastle. Note 1 — The list of Orthodox Quakers at the time of the Hicksite separa- ion in 1828, included Abigail Quinby of Croton Valley Preparative Meeting Chappaqua Monthly Meeting; and among the Hicksites (Unitarian Quakers) of the Chappaqua meeting at that time were William, Phoebe and Eliza Quinby. Note 2 — The search of the Quaker records of New York state was made for me by Mr. John Cox, Jr., Chairman of the Joint Committee on Records of the Religious Society of Friends. He says of Dutchess county, that the first monthly meeting was that of Oblong, on Quaker HiU and vicinity, estab- lished 1744, being set off from Purchase. The Enrollment of Quakers, 1755, (Smith's History and other sources) shows no Quinby nor does the list of Heads of Families, Oblong Monthly Meeting, 1761. In the large list of cus- tomers on the ledger of Daniel Merritt's store at Quaker Hill, 1771 (in Wilson's "Quaker Hill") Ephraim is the only Quinby who appears. "The marriage certi- ficates (1744-1884) show only the marriage of William", son of Josiah'. The Orthodox certificates of marriage from 1828, at Quaker Hill have not been ex- amined. The minutes from 1757 to 1815 show only an Elizabeth Quin, mar- riage 1 mo. 16, 1786, to Abraham Hawney of Saratoga. "Quin is an unknown name in our records," says Mr. Cox; "can this be a Quinby?" This record also shows the marriage of William" Quinby and Phoebe Howland; the births and deaths show no Quinby. The removal certificates are all set forth under William • (see). 87. Isaiah 6 (Moses \ Josiah^, John^, William^) born 12 mo. 3, 1749, (i. e. 3 Feb. 1750) at Northcastle, West- chester county, N. Y. Although Isaiah was not married till 1793, the census of 1790 gives him as head of a family at Northcastle, living alongside his brother Francis, the family consisting of two males over 16, one male under that age and three females; it is evident that he made a home for some of his brothers or sisters and their children. Isaiah took a "certificate of clear" to Chappaqua, 9 mo. 192 The Quinbt Family 12, 1793, and married 18 Sept. 1793, at Amawalk, West- chester county, 18 Sept. 1793, Mary ^ daughter of Isaac* and Sarah (Field) Underhill of Yorktown. The Friends' record says: "marr. int. 8, 9, 1793; 9, 13, 1793; reptd. ace. 10, 11, 1793." Edward Brooks, the Quaker, says in his diary (XII. Friends' Miscellany, 357) (1810): "then went to Northcastle and lodged at Isaiah Quinby's." Isaiah died 3 mo. 22, 1814 (Bolton's History of Westchester wrongly gives Isaiah's death as 1810). Mary (Underhill) Quinby was born 31 May, 1759, and died 6 mo. 24, 1824, aged 65y. Im. lid. (Fr. rec.) at Newcastle. The will of Isaiah Quinby of Northcastle, dated 4 mo. 17, 1812, was proved at White Plains, 22 Apr. 1814, (Surrogate's, records, book D, p. 122). By it he provided that his wife Mary was to "bring up all my children until my daughter Hannah is eighteen years old;" and mentions his daughters Sarah, Phoebe, Hannah and' Jane; sons Moses and Isaiah; brother- in-law Caleb Underhill. Isaiah's widow Mary made a will which was proved 21 Dec. 1824 (bk. K, p. 479) mentioning the children referred to in her husband's will, and leaves a special legacy to her son Moses I. to educate his children.

Aaron 6 (Isaiah*, Josiah\ John^, William') born 6 mo. 17, 1757, at the old homestead in Amwell township. New Jersey; moved to Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and lived near the line of that county in Cecil county, Mary- land. Aaron « was a man "of more than ordinary mental ability. His judgment was often sought to settle difficul- ties that sometimes arose among his neighbors; and with many, Aaron Quinby's decision was to them the law by which they were willing to abide. "In 1780 the Meeting records show that Aaron with another agreed to redeem a creature taken for a military fine; and Isaiah Quinby paid the amount. It is said that he was the first person in his neighborhood to use the crad- ling scythe in his wheatfield and it was such a wonderful improvement over the usual method that the farmers in general soon followed his example. He also used the first winnowing fan in that neighborhood. He and his wife Lydia moved in the fall of 1802 to Lancaster county, Pa., and bought a tract of several hundred acres of land a quarter of a mile south of Little Britain meeting house where he lived during the remainder of his long life. The tract is now divided into several good sized farms, and the grist mill on one of them is still in operation and owned by Isaac Bradley. "Aaron and his family were members and regular at- tendants of Little Britain Friends' Monthly Meeting; only two of his children, Charlotte and Miriam, remained with the Quakers; they live together. The latter married Ben- jamin Cutler who died early and left one child, Chalkley B. Cutler, who died in 1881 leaving six children. Aaron ^ and several of his family are buried in the graveyard at Little Britain. One of his enterprising movements was in company with others to build a bridge across the Susque- hanna River at Conowingo. A Yankee from Connecticut took the contract for building. The many creditors whom the contractor had left in New England came upon him and Aaron Quinby was left to finish the work; in conse- quence he was financially ruined. He and his family kept up their connection with their Bucks county (Pa.) relatives, and the journeys back and forth were numerous. An in- stance of his physical condition is the fact that he rode from Lancaster county. Pa., to Ohio, on horseback after he was eighty years old, to visit a son. About this time he was assessor of taxes ifor the township in which he lived, and performed the duties of the office with credit to him- self and to those who elected him." (MSS. of C. F. Jen- (13) 194 The Qdinbt Family kins, Esq.) Aaron * went to live with his son Ezra S. ' in 1823; see Ezra S.'s letter, 1826 following: A Letter from Ezra S. ' Quinby I copy for you a letter I found among my Grandmother's papers. It will give some light on the early emigrants of the Quinby family. Cecil County, Maryland, Apr. 12, 1826. Dear Sir: Your favor of the 25th of Feb. I did not receive until yesterday, and have not had an opportunity with Mr. Sam- uel Webster to derive any information respecting yourself or your family. I was much gratified in reading your letter to find that you cherished so strong an inclination to be informed of my ancestors and also for the information given me of the Quinby family in your neighborhood. My Grandfather, whose name was Isaiah, was born near West- chester east of New York and about twenty miles from the same. He had several brothers one by the name of Ephraim which as I suppose was your Grandfather and a brother to my Grandfather. Isaiah Quinby, my Grandfather, settled on the Delaware River in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, thirty-five miles from Phila- delphia and had 4 sons, Aaron, Moses, James and Job. My father's name is Aaron the eldest of the boys. James the third son lives on the mansion place in the Jerseys. Moses and Job have deceased. My father has been with me for three years and enjoys good health. My mother has been dead better than five years. My father states that he thinks your Grandfather's eldest son's name was Daniel, the next Samuel and the youngest Eph- raim, but it is probable that he is mistaken and that you are cor- rect in stating Isaiah as the eldest. From your letter I presume your father's n^me to be Samuel and that he married in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, and left there in two or three weeks or a month after he married for the western part of our County. If so your fathfer and mine are first cousins and in their younger days were well acquainted. My father also recollects your uncle Ephraim but was not as well acquainted with him as with Samuel. My father moved to Lan- caster County, Pa., in the fall of 1802 from Bucks Co., Pa. My father has eight children living and I shall set down their names beginning with the eldest: Phoebe, Charlotte, Mary, Jesse B., Miriam, Ezra S., Aaron B., and Isaiah. The two youngest of my sisters married and live liear me. The eldest also lives in the neighborhood. My brother Jesse lives in Boston, Massachusetts. Aaron in New York and Isaiah moved in November last to the state of Ohio on the little Miami — 45 miles from Cincinnati. My father has been within the last 15 years 5 or 6 times from Pittsburg down the Ohio on the Ohio side of the river to the mouth of the Muskingham and up the Virginia and Pennsylvania side to Pittsburg and has frequently inquired for the name of Quinby but could not hear anything of them. He was out in your County in the fall of 1820 and in the spring of 1823. I have now given you all the information with respect to my family that I am at this time possessed of &c. — but if father were at home I have no The QuiNBY Family 195 doubt that he could give much information that I have not given but 1 teel that you and I are second cousins and wish you to write me on the receipt of this more fully and let me know more particularly what part of the state your father and uncle live in and how I may find them and you, as I expect to be in your Country next fall and should be pleased to call and see you. You must write me if you are married and settled and how old you are. I have been married four years last November and can count two children and shall be 33 years of age the 27th day of next November. I shall only say that Father and family send their best re- spects to you and family, and believe me truly your friend and S?"^' died in 1824 in Newcastle county, Delaware. He had moved to Delaware and started in the business of peach growing. "He was an astute, ath- letic man," says IX. American An- cestry, 64. Among the family rec- ords is this account of him: "Moses 6 Quinby sold his farm to go into storekeeping just before the war of 1812. As he knew noth- ing of the business and was not- particularly adapted to it, he soon lost all the money he had. He was a good farmer, and his son Dr. John * having moved to Wilming- ton and being quite successful, had him come there and farm a place which he bought. Moses Quinby when living in the neighborhood, at- tended meeting at Solebury, Pa., and as he had been late two or three times in succession, one of the over- seers said to him: 'Moses, thee is late.' 'Yes,' said Moses, 'I have the river to cross.' To which the Friend answered, 'But Moses, thou knew thee had the river to cross when thou went to bed last night.' "Once he noticed his son Jonathan when a young man carefully climbing over a post-and-rail fence. The father was much astonished and provoked, and said, 'Why Jona- than, when I was thy age, I put my hand on the top rail and went over like this!' Suiting the action to the word, he vaulted lightly over. When Moses married Hannah Good, he took her to live in a little house at the bottom of the hill called 'Under the Rocks,' and there his brother James met the sister, Margaret, whom he married. They were daughters of Edward Good, a carpenter who lived in Plumstead and was a member of Buckingham Meeting; 89MOSE8' Quinby 198 The Quinby Familt and his conscientious work can still be seen in the well- made and well preserved woodwork of the meeting house." (Jenkins MSS.) "It is stated that Moses Quinby lived for a time in Bloomsburg, Lower Makefield, Pa. This cannot be correct, as there is not now nor has there ever been, a place of that name in either of the Makefields. It must have been in Brownsburg in Upper Makefield. I was in attendance at our Quarterly meeting at Wrightstown last week and I took dinner at which there must have been about twenty- five or thirty of the Quinby descendants including hus- bands and wives. This matter was freely discussed and it was decided without dissent that this was correct." (from a letter from I. Hay hurst to. C. F. Jenkins, dated 3 mo. 3, 1891). The following dates are supplied by Charles F. Jen- kins, Esq., of Philadelphia, copied from the family Bible which was one of Jane Fell's wedding presents when she married Moses * Quinby, and which, in 1891, was in the possession of Letitia Haines. The dates differ frequently and materially from those in a manuscript formerly in the possession of Upshur B. Quinby. The records of nearly all of Moses * Quinby's children by Jane Fell are on the records of the Buckingham Monthly Meeting. Children of Moses' and Jane (Fell) Quinby: 246. I. Isaiah* Quinby, born 6 mo. 14, 1783; died 10 mo. 1802, unmarried; he was known as "the hand- somest Quinby there ever was;" he didn't like farming and went to Philadelphia, where he died suddenly of yellow fever and was buried in the Potter's Field without the knowledge of his family, who for a long time did not know what had be- come of him; 247. II. John' Quinby, born 12 mo. 7, 1784 (see); III. Elizabeth* Quinby, born 1 mo. 18,1786; married Josh- ua Harlan and died 11 mo. 1815; Scharf's Delaware, I. 500, says this Elizabeth had a frail constitu- tion and married John Harlan; 248. IV. Joseph* Quinby, born 10 mo. 8, 1787; "he died in 1836 near St. Joseph's river in Michigan;" 249. V.

Amos' Quinbt, born 4 mo. 16, 1797; 262. XI. Iba« Quinbt, born 7 mo. 7, 1799; By his second wife, Hannah Good, Moses* Quinby had the following children: 253. XII.

Ellen" Quinbt, born 9 mo. 11, 1803; married Ben- jamin Linton Moore (given as Moon in some records), son of John and Mary (Linton) Moore; a family letter says: "Ellen and her husband were living in New Jersey when a hurricane blew her best bonnet out of the box which was under the bed in a spare room, out into the fields. The same wind broke all of the dishes and upset the dining table." She died in 1886 and the Phila- delphia papers printed the following notice: "Ellen Quinby, widow of Benjamin L. Moore, died 10 mo. 23 at the residence of her son-in-law, Wm. D. Pickels at Philadelphia in her 84 yr., a member of the Green Street Monthly Meeting;" XIV. Jane G. • Quinbt, born 11 mo. 8, 1805, married George E. Lippincott; they were members of the Green St. Meeting, Philadelphia; she died 9 m. 14, 1852; the following is from her obituary notice in the Philadelphia papers: "she was early a tried friend of the poor of all classes, and the cause of the slave was ever near her heart while she lived;" 254. XV. JosiAH • Quinbt, born 12 mo. 20, 1808 "at Trenton, N. J." (see); XVI. Letitia G. • Quinbt, born 10 mo. 8, 1813, "at Fallsington, Bucks county.

I. Hayhurst thus wrote to C. F. Jen- kins from Lambertville, Pa., 3 mo. 4, 1891: "The name Amwell frequently occurs. At the time spoken of in these papers, there was a large tract of country known as Amwell and Hopewell. They were erected in the early part of our history into townships. Amwell township has been divided into four parts: the city of Lambertville, East and West Amwell and Delaware townships. It is in Delaware township the Quinby farm is now located. This division has been in existence for a long time. This large township extended all the way across the south boundary of Hunterdon county. Hopewell has never been divided, and it extends all across the north portion of Mercer county. It is said that the names of these two townships oc- Rachel" (Quixby) Piirdy (Pliotogi-a]ili loaned by Mr.s. Letitia H. (Quinby) Jackson (see p. 198). Ellen" (Quinby) Moore wife of William L. Moore.

The Qxjinby Family 201 curred thus: Two brothers, living near neighbors, used to accost one another, 'Hope you're well;' answer, 'I am well!' When the boundary line was made, it cut the brothers apart, but the names stand." 90. James ^ {Isaiah*, Josiah^, John^, William^) born 8 mo. 30, 1765; he was a resident of Amwell, N. J., when he married 10 mo. 13, 1813, at Plumstead Meeting-house, Margaret, daughter of Edward and Eleanor (Harris) Good and sister of his brother Moses ^ Quinby's second wife; she was born 10 mo. 11, 1773. "When Moses brought his wife to live in the little house under the rocks, her younger sister Margaret came to visit her, and James Quinby met her, wooed and married her. He took her to live at the old homestead, and there they spent their lives," says a family letter. James lived in Hunterdon county, N. J., and attended the Solebury Monthly Meeting in Bucks county. Pa. He died 2 mo. 2, 1830; Margaret died 1 mo. 25, 1840. James* is thus described by his son Isaiah «: "His eyes were light; he had a well proportioned nose, wide mouth; was a little over five and a half feet high, middling broad shoulders, short neck, sound teeth, full head of hair and wore side whiskers. The latter part of his life he was afflicted with rheumatism so that he could not exert him- self very much. There used to be a library in Lumberville from which he took books to read;" Isaiah « adds: "He had the old farm without incumbrance, stock, and some money beside. The farm proper contained about 312 acres, and a 30 acre woodlot beside. The island did not belong to him but to grandfather; and his son Moses lived on the island, or adjoining, and farmed it. My father had two shares in the fisheries, which were valuable at that time. This fishery was on the river shore of the island. His shares were sold at the sale, along with the other effects." (Isaiah* Quinby to C. F. Jenkins, dated Lumberville, Pa., 29 May, 1891). . ^ -u u- <«„ • His daughter Hannah* thus describes him: Hair somewhat darker than that of his son Isaiah; and was a little taller than Isaiah, with broad shoulders. He was a quiet, thrifty person, with much humor and fond of a joke, a great reader of the papers and took much interest m politics, being an ardent Federalist. He was in early life an active, energetic man. In appearance he probably strongly resembled his father, Isaiah*." His wife Margaret was a good housewife of gentle and attractive face and manners, thoughtful of others and 202 The Quinbt Familt notably kind and helpful to the poor. It was said by a neighbor, one of her relatives, that "no briers grew in the fields around her house so many people trampled across them." His daughter Hannah is said much to resemble her. His children, Hannah, Isaiah and James were all present at the Reunion of the descendants of Isaiah^ in 1891. "James was a very good man, much like uncle Isaiah, and aunt Mary Armitage looked like hipi; he was a Friend, belonging to Solebury Meeting; he called it Solesberry. In addition to his farm he had fisheries on Bull's Island where he often exposed him- self and became rheumatic when he got old. His wife Margaret Good died suddenly; she had choking palsy which came, it is supposed, from a fall which she had. The last year of her life she did not walk at all." He was the father of Hannah Atkin- son whose son Wilmer took this down in July, 1890, from the lips of Aunt Martha Kenderdine at Upper Dublin. When Job ' died in 1804 and the news was brought to his brother, he exclaimed in a tone of extraordinary emotion " Have I outlived Job!" and remained silent for a long time. Children of James " and Marga- ret (Good) Quinby ; taken from records of Solebury Monthly Meeting: I. Mary » Quinbt, born 7 mo. 24, 1804; married James Armitage; as a widow aged seventy years, she attended the golden wedding of James Romine and wife, 24 Mar. 1874, having attended the mar- riage fifty years before; Mary and her husband lived at Solebury; she died in 1882; Rachel* Quinbt, born 6 mo. 11, 1806, died 11 mo. 17, 1807; Mabtha* Quinbt, born 1 mo. 12, 1808, married John E.

III. IV. The Quinbt Family 203 Upper Dublin, Montgomery county; their daugh- ter Mary Anna married Howard M. Jenkins and were the parents of Charles Francis Jenkins of Philadelphia, (well known as the editor of the Farm Journal) to whose records and correspond- ence we are indebted for much of our informa- tion about this branch of the Quinby family (see note following); V. Francbnia 'Quinby, born 2 mo. 4, 1812; died 2 mo. 5, 1864, "in the afternoon," unmarried, at Lum- berton. Pa.; 256. VI. Isaiah* Quinby, born 5 Sept. 1814 (see); 266. VII. James R. • Quinby, born 19 Nov. 1817, at Amwell, N. J. (see); reminiscences "When Martha* Quinby was to be married to John E. Kenderdine, there were great preparations made in the old home for the event. And on baking morning. Mother Margaret found to her dismay that the flour was too dark to make the bread as light and white as she would like. So Hannah and Fanny and their cousin Letitia who was visiting them, were sent down the hill to the store to get some of the right sort. The home girls were ashamed through false pride, to go in the store to buy such a small quantity as was needed for the baking, so they loitered around reluctant to enter, and even took a boat ride on the river to delay the awkward moment. Finally they sent in Letitia, as she was a stranger and they supposed the storekeeper would not k^ow for whom she was buying it. "When they had reached home, climbing the hill with their burden, they found that some of the cousins had arrived from Maryland to stay over night. Little Letitia, anxious to boast of her distinction, announced her pur- chase of the flour to all present; no applause following she repeated her remarks in a louder tone, till a warning 'Hush!' from Hannah caused her to realize her mistake in letting her Maryland cousin understand the situation. 'What flour?' they asked; and she answered 'Why, the flour for Rachel Brisket.' "The Maryland cousin asked who Rachel was and poor Letitia, having woven her 'tangled web' was obliged to invent an old woman of the neighborhood with a broken arm which she did with a glibness which no boy of her age could have dreamed of equalling. That night the girls, owing to the many relatives arriving, had to double or rather triple up, and Letitia found herself on the floor in 204 The Quinby Family the middle of the night. Hannah and Fanny accused her of doing it to wake them up, and although she denied it, yet when the pressure of three in a bed put her again on the floor before dawn, nothing could convince them that she hadn't done it to get even with them for what their guilty consciences told them they had put upon her that day. "And then after all they found out next day that the Maryland cousins were not to stop for the wedding. They had driven from Maryland in a two horse carriage, stopping no doubt at Aunt Nancy Croasdale's on the way, and were taking some of the younger ones to a boarding school." (C. F. Jenkins MSS.)

Job 6 (Isaiah*, Josiah\ John^, William^) born 1 mo. 29, 1768; married Martha, born 11 mo. 9, 1767, daugh- ter of Edward and Rebecca Cadwallader; Job died 13 Sept. 1800 (or 1804); Martha married second 5 mo. 11, 1814, Joseph, son of Benjamin and Sarah Wiggins of Upper Makefield, at Wrightstown Monthly Meeting (rec.) The following biographical sketch of Job' Quinby was written by a great grandson, Wilmer H. Johnson, Esq., of North Wales, Pa., and was intended to be read at the reunion of the Quinby family, held at Bull's Island, 18 June, 1891, but the writer was unable to be present, and the sketch with much about Job's descendants which is here omitted, was printed in the Doylestown (Pa.) Intelligencer soon off" pr'wfl.rci "Job Quinby was born January 29th, 1768, 123 years ago. He died September 14th, 1804, 87 years ago. He was a young man 36 years of age at the time of his demise —hardly in the prime of life. He was the youngest son of Isaiah and Rachel Quinby, and in his early days was re- garded as a rather precocious youth. He enjoyed fun, and, like some of his grandchildren, was a graceful dancer. He was a watchmaker by occupation, although it is not known that he was ever regularly apprenticed to the trade. After 206 The Quinby Family reaching maturity, he won the heart and hand of Martha Cadwallader, a comely daughter of Elwood and Rebecca, of Horsham, Montgomery county. Martha's father was a rugged, stouthearted farmer, and, according to the assess- ments of Horsham township at that time, owned 56 acres of land, kept 2 horses and 1 cow. After their marriage the young couple began farming operations on the farm at Castle Valley, near New Britain, Bucks county, now occu- pied by Samuel Reed, who married one of Job's great- granddaughters. It was here that Job died. He was known as a good neighbor, honest, industrious and a man of genius in many ways. Being a watchmaker, he repaired the clocks of his neighbors for miles around. His marriage certificate was indeed a unique document. It was painted, the work being done by his own hands. It is still in ex- istence, and would have been an object of curiosity to his descendants here today could it have been obtained. "After Job Quinby 's death, his widow married Joseph Wiggins, of Upper Makefield, at Wrightstown Meeting, 6th month, 11th, 1814 — just six months previous to the marriage of her oldest daughter, Rebecca, to Joseph Hamp- ton. An unusual thing on this occasion was that the mother was the daughter's bridesmaid, while her husband was best man. But Martha Quinby's second marriage was of short duration, for Joseph Wiggins, a widower at the time of his marriage to her, did not long survive, and at his death Martha took up her residence with her daughter, Rebecca. "After the marriage of Joseph Hampton and Rebecca Quinby, they settled for a short time above Point Pleasant, two miles north of Bull's Island. From thence they re- moved to Byberry, to the farm then belonging to James Walton. Here they remained some 8 or 9 years, when Joseph purchased a farm in Buckingham, about midway between Pineville and Buckmanville, now owned and occu- pied by his oldest living son, Quinby. It was here that Job Quinby's widow died. Oppressed with sorrow — 'dark- ness and solitude, and sighs and tears, and all the insepar- able train of grief — over the death of her adored daughter Sarah, a beautiful girl of about 17, the burden was more than she could bear, and she died of a broken heart. "Martha Quinby was a superstitious woman. One of her idle fancies was the belief that at a moving, the vic- tuals should always be carried into the house first, as it would bring a plentiful supply ever afterward; otherwise it was an omen of ill-luck. It is related that when Joseph The QmNBY Family 207 and Rebecca Hampton removed to Byberry, the first article carried into the house was the cradle. This worried Martha and she predicted that sorrow would soon occur to the household, and her prediction was realized for not many months had elapsed ere the second son Levi, of Joseph and Rebecca, fell headforemost into a spring. In that position the little fellow was found by his mother dead. But not- withstanding her superstitious notions, Martha Quinby possessed all the best attributes of a dutiful wife, fond mother and a good woman." The children of Job ' and Martha (Cadwallader) Quinby : I. Rebecca' Quinby, born 8 mo. 4, 1783; married at Wrightstown Meeting, 11 mo. 17, 1814, Joseph, son of Benjamin and Margaret Hampton. Joseph died 9 mo. 13, 1875, aged 81; Rebecca died 4 mo. 5, 1882, aged 88y. 8m., in full possession of all her mental powers; "Joseph Hampton used to say that the reason the Quinby stock lived more than the allotted time of man is attributable to the fact that they never tried to live more than one day at a time. Rebecca had been a sufferer from rheumatism for many years, and so thoroughly had the distressing disease seated itself in her, that for eight years she was not out of her bed. Her limbs had become painfully deformed, and so bent and twisted were her arms and hands that she could not take her daily nourishment except from the hands of another person. She was fed as though she were a child. Yet she bore her affliction cheerfully and with unfaltering reliance on her God. Joseph and Rebecca Hampton cele- brated their golden wedding 11th month 17, 1874. At that time they had forty-two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren living. The number remains nearly the same today. Rebecca was my grandmother, and I always had a fondness for her because she named me. There were born to Joseph and Rebecca Hampton twelve children, six boys and six girls. Four of the sons are dead, but the daughters are all living" (Wilmer H. Johnson) ; II. James' Quinby, born 7 mo. 11, 1795; died in early childhood; III. Rachel" Quinby, born 8 mo. 6, 1797; died unmar- ried; IV. Sabah' Quinby, born 8 mo. 1799; died while a young woman, unmarried; V. Letitia' Quinby, born 11 mo. 2, 1801; married 3 mo. 3, 1825, at Horsham, Pa., Joseph L. Iredell, born 12 mo. 9, 1797. Mr. Johnson writes this of them: "It is reported that in the month of their 208 The Qdinby Family marriage, they started on a journey by wagon to southern Central New York, to reside on a farm he had purchased in the town of Ulysses, Tomp- kins county, between Cayuga and Seneca lakes, nine miles beyond Ithaca. He subsequently added two other farms, for the farms in that part of New York were very small. After residing on his first purchase till advanced age, they removed to Jacksonville, about a mile and a half distant, where they died — Letitia dying on the 13th of last April, (1891) aged 89 years, and two days later, on the 15th, her husband passed away, aged 94 years. They had lived together 66 years. The couple had nine children — all daughters — seven of whom married. Seven survive their parents, five living in California. "I remember Joseph and Letitia making a visit to my old home in Upper Makefield, many years ago. They were accompanied by Joseph Hampton and his wife, and I remember what a very un- lady-like trick an innocent looking old cat of ours played on them. As they got out of the carriage, on their arrival, the cat jumped in and settled back in a corner with a contented purr. Joseph Hampton was about to dislodge it, but Letitia said it was so cold and wet, and as Rebecca wanted a cat at home, and as the stranger cat looked so comfortable 'let it be and perhaps it will go home with us, as then she will have a cat.' When they were ready to go home they peeped anxiously into the carriage and Rebecca said 'nice old pussy,' in a conciliatory way, as she looked for the cat. The cat was still there, and so were four brand new kittendi" VI. Deborah « Quinsy, born 12 mo. 23, 1803; married 3 mo. 14, 1827, at Wrightstown Meeting, Ezra, son of Ezra and Margery Smith and lived in Buck- ingham, Pa. "Deborah died several years ago. Her body reposes in the old cemetery at Doyles- town. There is beauty all around it, but so great was her husband's affection for his loved one that he used to say she was worthy of a better resting place. One of her daughters married Simeon Over- holt, many years ago Superintendent of Schools of Bucks county." The QmNBT Family 209 SIXTH GENERATION Here are as before omitted the descendants of William* {William", Robert^), mostly of Sandwich, N. H., to appear in a later volume. They comprise heads of families num- bered serially 92 to 111 inclusive, with their sons numbered 257 to 321 inclusive. 112. Joseph* (Joseph^, Joseph*, Robert", Robert*), born at Falmouth, now Portland, Maine, 15 May, 1746; Joseph, Jr., was baptised in the First church at Falmouth in 1746 (King's History of the First church, p. 93). The only reference to him in Smith's and Deane's Journals (the source of much early Portland history) is where Rev. "Thomas Smith says under date of 15 Nov. 1750: "I was at prayer with Quimby's child, which is sick of a fever." The prayers of the godly man were efficacious, for this child recovered and became a ship builder with his father. An autograph of his to a document dated 21 May, 1762, when he was sixteen years old, shows that he wrote a good hand. In 1766 we find a bill for work on the "Slup Cumberlin Packet" in his handwriting. In 1772, Dec. 3, he married at Portland, Hannah Noyes, born 12 Dec. 1751 (other records say 5 Dec. 1751). He was successful in business at an early age, and in a list of the losses sustained 18 Oct. 1775 in Mowatt's bom- bardment of Portland, his loss was given by the citizens' committee as £310. His father's loss was £413. (Willis's History of Portland). He received his share of his father's estate when young, and went to Ammoncongin, now Cumberland Mills, a few miles out of Falmouth. Joseph * was always known as Joseph, Junior. A record says: "Joseph Quinby, Jr., son of Joseph, a joyner, lived at Saccarappa; built a house, 1770." He died 26 Dec. 1777, and his widow married Amos Lunt, 24 July, 1785, at Portland, and took her three sons and went to Brunswick, Maine. L. B. Chapman says: "I have found a deed recorded of Joseph, Junior's residence in Portland, which his father gave him before he made his will, which his widow sold in 1778 to Jonathan Bryant." (14) 210 The Quinby Pamilt Over thirty years ago, Hon. Andrew Hawes, who was a de- scendant of Joseph' Quinby and has lived all his life in the old Quinby mansion at Stroudwater, Maine, hunted out the papers in the attic of the old house, and among them found two bundles of papers marked in the handwriting of Capt.

Besides these and other papers, Mr. Hawes found in May, 1895, an old book, probably a record of the busi- ness life of Joseph « Quinby, Jr. Mr. Hawes says: 114 Capt. John" Quinby. (From a miniature on ivory) The Quinbt Family 211 "All these go to show that Joseph Quinby, Jr. was a house carpenter, that he kept a small store, selling the usual commodities of those times, rum, molasses and sugar, taking pay in lumber and labor, that he worked at his trade and, latterly, made and sold some furniture. Accord- ing to the book and papers he began business in 1767, finishing 1777, for there are no dates later than '77. He was dead previous to 1783, for there is a ledger account with the Estate of Joseph Quinby, Jr. on the books of Jesse Partridge, of that date, and it is transferred from an old ledger which I have not yet found. But more im- portant than all that, there is on the last leaf of the book (J. Q. Jr.'s) this: "Falmouth May 15th 1745, Born Joseph Quinby Jun. — Hannah Noyes Dec. 12th, 1752, married Decem. 3rd, 1772. Frederick Quinby Born Sept. 14th, 1773. Henry Quinby born April 17th, 1775.

Joseph' Quinby, born 6 Apr. 1777 (see). 113. Thomas' {Joseph', Joseph*, Robert', Robert^) born 3 Nov. 1752 at Falmouth, now Portland, Me, In 1775 he is on the list of tax payers there. When he was about 26 years old, he became a private in the company commanded by his relative, Capt. Jesse Partridge, of Stroudwater, Me. He enlisted 1 Apr. 1778, and served eight months at North River, with the Falmouth volun- teers. Col. John Greaton's regiment. He was promoted to be corporal, and was discharged 30 Nov. 1778 (Mass. Rev. War rolls, MS.; XII. Mass. Soldiers and SaUors in the Revolutionary War, 891-2). He died 27 Dec. 1781. I suppose he was unmarried as no family of his is men- tioned in the papers on the settlement of his father's estate in 1791; see also the deed from his nephew Henry' to John* (under Henry') which shows that Thomas left no descendants. 114. John" Quinby {Joseph', Joseph^ RoberP, Robert^) was born at Falmouth, now Portland, Maine, 12 May, 1760, says the family Bible; other records give 12 May, 1758. He received his education at the Portland public schools and was at the age of thirteen with his brother Levi, at Master Parsons' school in 1771. The preceptor 93 S P a-^0 214 The Qxjinbt Family was Theophilus Parsons, afterwards Chief Justice of Massa- chusetts. .The schoolhouse (says Mr. Chapman) was on the west side of King Street just above Middle Street. Thereafter, as appears by the penmanship sampler here reproduced, he was a pupil of Mylo Freeman at South school in 1774. He inherited a large property in Portland and vicinity on the death of his father two years later, and must soon after have commenced his work of building and owning and loading ships. His father had removed to Sac- carappa after the burning of Fal- mouth in 1775 and no doubt his son went with him; but shortly after his father's death he returned to Portland. Five months after his mar- riage he bought a lot at Stroud- water where many of his relatives were living, and commenced the construction of his house. At the same time he built a shop in connection with his business of building and fitting out ships; a memorandum in the family archives says it "stood on Mary p * * * 'g land from 15 Nov. 1780, to November, 1795; addition to shop, 1783; new shop, 1796." Deed to John Quinby "I, Enoch Freeman of Falmouth, for a consideration of £45 7:2, paid by John Quinby, merchant, and Archelaus Lewis, gentle- man, hereby convey a certain lot or parcel of land situated at a place called Stroudwater, in Falmouth, late belonging to the estate of Francis Waldo, an absentee, containing one acre and three- quarters of an acre, and bounded as follows: Northeast by the country road (Westbrook street) northwesterly by the land of Geo. Tate (the old Tate house lot), and on all other parts by Stroud- water River and mill privilege, being the lot conveyed to me and others, by the committee for selling absentee's estates in the county aforesaid. March 29, 1783." "For a consideration of £100 the lot was divided on the street line into five equal parts of four rods and three feet each." Gravestone of George' Quinby at Stroudwater (son of lllCapt. John * Quinby) Before he was thirty years of age he was commissioned Lieutenant of the "Sixth Company, First Regiment in the County of Cumberland in the Sixth Division of the Militia ^ d .c O C 0) ^ U 41 ja. c4 ^i of 1 "C? ^ s 2:£ 9 i M lu p, SF^^ a. :s o «::: ^ ^s 1 U.-*' r s OQ i o M 216 The Qxjinby Family in this Commonwealth;" the Commission, which is pre- served in the Quinby mansion at Stroudwater, is dated 5 Feb. 1787, and is signed by James Bowdoin, Governor, and John Avery, Jun., Secretary. With reference to the John Quinby house, a good pic- ture of which is here presented, the late L. B. Chapman says: "It is reasonable to suppose that he and Archelaus Lewis commenced the construction of their dwellings upon their respective lots immediately after the purchase (1783) — both two-story square, well finished buildings. The Quinby structure was afterwards removed by John Mahan to Port- land, where it may now (1900) be seen on the northwesterly corner of State and Pine Streets (still in fine condition, 1915). "At the time of the advent of Messrs. Quinby and Lewis the Falmouth town authorities (including what is now Portland) had established a public landing place, and a wharf upon it, the wharf extending from the present pub- lic drinking fountain (there is but one) easterly to the chan- nel of tide water. We do not know whether Messrs. Lewis and Quinby were in company in business but they received a permit by a vote of the town to erect a building upon the 'town wharf and occupy it twenty years free of taxa- tion, which building was built. It was two storied, with outside stairs, and remained intact till about 1845 when it was removed to the junction of what is now Frost and Congress streets (Brewer House hill) and fitted for a shop and dwelling by Capt. Dexter Brewer; it was then removed to Portland where it remains and is used for a dwelling house on Tate street." In addition to the commission of John Quinby as Lieutenant in 1787, there are two other documents in the possession of his great-grandson, Hon. Andrew Hawes, at Stroudwater, Maine. One is his commission of Captain in the First Regiment of the Second Brigade, Sixth Divi- sion, Militia of Massachusetts, comprehending the counties of York and Cumberland, in the District of Maine. It is dated 6 April, 1794, and is signed by Samuel Adams, Gov- ernor of Massachusetts. Capt. John's resignation was ac- cepted under date 1 June, 1796, at Headquarters, Boston, and reads as follows: "The Governor and Commander-in- Chief has accepted the Resignation of Captain John Quinby of the First Regiment, Second Brigade, Sixth Division, and he is hereby Honorably Discharged at His Own Request from the office of Captain in the Regiment aforesaid. John Dominons, Adjutant General." The Home op 114Capt. John" Quinby Still standing on State St., Portland, Me. (See p. 216.) The QmNBY Family 217 The Captain was much interested in the Stroudwater- Portland highway. In 1793, he was one of the incorpora- tors of the enterprise of building the bridge over Fore River which separates the two localities, and in 1802, was one of the incorporators of the Maine Turnpike Association. (Acts of Mass., 1793, ch. 52; id., 1802, ch. 139). In 1802 he, with Frederick Quinby were subscribers to the West- brook Social Library as the list for that year, which has been preserved, shows. Captain John Quinby was the owner of a number of ships and two of them were captured by the French during the war of the last two or three years of the eighteenth century. One of these, the schooner Mary, James Blake, Captain, was captured "in sight of Margaretta." It was valued at $5,500. The ship Eunice owned by Captain John Quinby was captained by Thomas Seal. It was named by Captain John Quinby for his wife and daughter. He was the sole owner, and insured it himself — in other words, he had no insurance on it. It was built at Portland in 1795, and was a square-sterned ship with two decks of 223 16-95 tons. It sailed from Liverpool, England, 14 June, 1797, for Phila- delphia, and on the voyage, besides five passengers, it carried a cargo consisting of salt, copper, coal, dry goods and Liverpool ware; of salt there were at least 145 tons, and of coal 21 tons. All her crew were American except one Dane. The ship was captured by the French privateer L'Intrepide, 7 July, 1797, and taken to Nantes in France; there two trials in the prize court were had, resulting in the condemnation of ship and cargo on the purely specious ground that there was no official passenger list. When Capt. John learned of this he prepared papers in substantiation of his claim against France and filed them in the department of State 9 Mar., 1799. The result of the negotiations between France and the United States resulted in the United States by treaty, 30 Sept 1800, receiving from France by rehnquishment of claims it had against us, what amounted to compensation sufficient for the many claimants for French spohations. Congress however did not pay out this money for many years. Captain John had died and left his ''French claim by will to his sons Moses and Levi; they died in due course and their sons and daughters likewise, except Miss Almira Quinby who died in 1910. . ^, r^ t. t Ultimately the claim was tried out in the Court ot Claims at Washington 1 June, 1896. The decision of the 218 The Quinby Familt Court was transmitted to Congress in 1900 (Sen. Doc, 276), and allowed Captain John Quinby's claim in the sum of $11,938. Capt. John* Quinby was married by Rev. Dr. Deane at Portland, 31 Oct. 1782, to Eunice' daughter of Capt. Joshua and Lois (Pearson) Freeman. She was born 19 Jan. 1762, and died 12 Dec. 1790, and was buried at Stroudwater, Maine, together with the infant son on whose account she died. The First Census of the United States gives him as having in his family in 1790 at Portland besides himself five free white males under sixteen years of age; they were his sons the eldest of whom was about six years old, and perhaps one other child; there were also three free white females of no specified age. Mrs. Eunice (Freeman) Quinby came of very remark- able ancestry, which included among her direct ancestors Governor Thomas Dudley (born 1576, died 1653) of Massa- chusetts Bay Colony; Governor Thomas Prence (born 1600) of Plymouth Colony; Elder William Brewster (born 1563) of the Mayflower; Rev. John Rogers (born 1530) President of Harvard College; Maj.-General Daniel Den- ison, (born 1612) Commander-in-Chief of the Colonial forces; Capt. John Appleton (born 1622) of Ipswich; Rev. Jose Glover who brought the first printing press to New England; and many others of distinction; several of her ancestral line can be followed back in England with per- fect certainty to the twelfth century. A partial chart showing some of the foregoing is printed here. Her an- cestry in all lines so far discovered has been printed in New England Family History. Capt. John died 27 Sept. 1806 "aged 48," and is buried at Stroudwater, Me. On his gravestone are engraved the words: "That life is long which answers life's great end." The children of Capt. John « and Eunice (Freeman) Quinby were: I. Eunice' Quinby, born 16 Mar. 1783; married by Rev. Caleb Bradley, 24 May, 1808, to Maj. Ezekiel Day (see portraits) and lived on Elm St., Portland, "where the Natural History building now stands" (a complete account of their die- scendants was published in New England Family History, II. 329-331); II.

Jacob* {Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert*, Robert^) born at Somersworth, N. H., 16 Oct. 1743. Jacob married (probably 1766-7) Tamsen Wentworth, who was born 22 Dec. 1746. (Tamsen was the usual spelling of Thomasine, a name analogous to Pauline, Clementine, etc.) The following is from Master Tate's diary, Salmon Falls, copied by J. P. Willey, 1902: "Monday even May 17, 1773. A dreadful Gust of Wind and Rain with awful Thunder and Lightening. A number of people coming up the River loaded with Rockweed, viz., Mr. Saml. Lord 3d of Berwick, Mrs. Lucy Lord and Mr. Jonathan Hardison, Mr. Jacob Quinby, Mr. Josiah Tibbetts, Mr. Charles and Mrs. Molly Stackpole. Ye Boat oversett near Sturgeon Creek and 3 of them wer drowned, viz. Mr. Sam Lord, Mrs. Lucy Lord and Mr. Jonathan Hardison. Ye rest narrowly escaped ye same fate. Sd Lucy and Jonathan were taken up on ye next day. Samuel not taken up till Sunday May 30. Taken up on ye back River by Timothy Clements. Saml Lord born Feb. 8 0. S. 1735." "Jacob and Benja. Quinby raised a new Barn frame on Friday August 4, and on Wednesday, August 9, 1775, R. Tibbetts raised a new House." Jacob • of Salmon Falls petitioned in 1779 (with his brother Benjamin •) for a lottery to raise money to remove the rocks in Quamphegon (see Benj. *) (IX. N. H. State Papers 186). Jacob, like his father, was a cloth manufacturer at Somersworth, and like his father appears more or less often as a litigant. The following are from the Superior Court records at Alfred, Me.: Jacob Quimby of Somersworth, N. H., clothier, vs. Jacob Whittier of Berwick, administrator of the estate of 222 The Quinby Family John Whittier, physician; defaulted; recovered against the said Jacob Whittier eleven pounds, five shillings and eight pence, money damage, and the sum of one pound, ten shillings and three pence for costs of suit; execution issued 12 Feb. 1783. Jacob Quimby of Somersworth in the county of Strat- ford and state of New Hampshire, clothier, plaintiff against Job Winchal of Berwick in the county of York, gentleman, defendant in a plea of the case, as by the writ on file 'ap- pears. The deft, thereupon solemnly called to come into Court did not appear, but made default. It is therefore considered by the Court, that the said Jacob Quimby re- cover against the said Job Winchal the sum of three pounds fourteen shillings and two pence, money damage, and the sum of thirty-two shillings for costs of suit; execution issued 16 April, 1783. We find him again in legal trouble in 1795, as appears from the Superior Court record at Alfred, and he was again a defendant in 1800, being called a resident of Saccarappa. Nathaniel W. Ela of Dover, N. H., plaintiff, vs. Jacob Quimby of Falmouth, defendant, in a plea of the case; said Jacob at said Dover on the 8th day of May A. D. 1795, by his note by him signed, promised said Ela to him or his order $28.00 on demand with interest, but Jacob though requested has not paid the same. He appears in the census of 1790 as head of a family at Somersworth consisting of himself and two boys under 16 and four females, one of which was no doubt his wife, the three others daughters. The extra boy under 16 may have been another son, for on the tax list of Westbrook of 1814 appears a Jacob Quinby, Jr., who paid a poll tax that year and wias therefore born before 1794. Very soon after 1790, he evidently followed the rest of his family to Sac- carappa, (now the city of Westbrook) adjoining Portland, Maine. The latter city was then called Falmouth, and Maine was then a part of Massachusetts. Jacob « Quinby died 27 Nov. 1805, aged 62. His widow Tamsen was married by Rev. Caleb Bradley at Saccarappa 4 Apr. 1814, to Peter Libby. Children born at Somersworth, N. H. : 327. I. Benjamin Wbntwokth » Quinby, ("Wentworth Quin- by") born 5 Dec. 1768 (see); II.

VI. Jacob' Quinby, born before 1784 (see). Notes— The first four children are given in Master Tate's Diary; see also Wentworth Genealogy. Mrs. Henry W. Lanier states that Wentworth Quinby had a half-brother Samuel Simpson, who lived also at York, Me. 117. Benjamin" {Benjamin \ Joseph*, Robert^, Rob- ert^) born 15 Sept. 1746, at Somersworth, New Hampshire. He was married by Rev. James Pike at Somersworth 2 Feb. 1775, to Lydia Clements of that place, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Clements. The first record after that, is in connection with his elder brother Jacob. Master Tate's diary, in the possession of J. P. Willey, Esq., of Salmon Falls, Me., contains this entry regarding them: "They raised a new Barn frame on Friday, August 4, and on Wed- nesday, August 9, 1775, R. Tibbetts raised a new House." In 1779 Benjamin petitioned the Provincial Assembly with his brother Jacob and many others for a lottery to remove the rocks in Quamphegon. (IX. N. H. State Papers, 186). In 1780 they were both among the purchasers of pews in the new Meeting house at Somersworth. In 1785 Benj- amin was constable and on a committee to build bridges there. The U. S. Census for N. H. in 1790 mentions Benj- amin Quinby as the head of a family at Somersworth in that year, consisting of himself and wife, one male over 16, two boys under 16 and four other females, evidently his daughters. The boys under 16 were obviously George and Benjamin (which shows that Samuel was probably born after 1790) and the girls Nancy, Betsy, Sally and Abigail. The extra female and the male over 16 may have been rela- tives or "hired hands." Benjamin removed to Saccarappa now Westbrook, about 1800, near Portland, Maine, and erected mills there. The records of York county, at Alfred, Me., show that Benjamin and Lydia transferred real estate to Ebenezer Clements, 17 Apr. 1815 (bk. 92, p. 9). In 1799, "Ben- jamin Quinby, Jr., of Somersworth, clothier" had arranged to take over property of his father then very aged, and maintain him for life. In 1806 Benjamin "of Falmouth, county Cumberland, Maine, and Lydia his wife" obtained a warrant from the 224 The Quinbt Pamilt court for a petition which was issued 24 Mar. 1807, for the division of a parcel of a hundred and forty acres. They dropped the matter, it evidently having been arranged without the need of further legal proceedings. (Court records, Alfred, Me.) Benjamin died 6 Nov. 1810, at Saccarappa. Lydia his widow died about 1841, at Ro- chester, N. H. The children of Benjamin and Lydia, born at Somers- worth, N. H. : I.

Joseph* (Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert", Robert*) born 1 July, 1750, at Somersworth, N. H. His military career in the Revolutionary war has been the subject of much discussion.

The family tradition is set forth in the following, from a letter from his grandson, Isaac Fly Quinby, to Mrs. Ella F. Beebe of Ravenna, Ohio, dated 30 Dec. 1893: "Grandfather fought in the war of the Revolution, and first enlisted in a company for the defence of Falmouth Neck which is now called Portland, at the news of the fight at Lexington and Concord; this company started for Boston and arrived at Kittery Point, when they were met by an order from the Governor for them to return and defend Falmouth Neck, and they returned to Falmouth. But the rumors from Boston being few and far between, and not satisfactory, my grandfather, that is, Joseph, be- came impatient and determined to go to scenes of greater activity; accordingly he announced to his family his in- tention of enlisting in the army of Washington, and learn- (IS) 226 The Quinbt Family ing from a scout that a few scattered parties from Dunston, Saco and Biddeford were to start on & certain date, he felt it necessary to go with them. Although the time was short before their departure, nevertheless, with the assist- ance of the community, the sheep were driven up and sheared, the wool carded, spun and woven, the cloth cut and made, and a suit completed in time for him to start with those from the towns aforesaid. "All I know of grandfather's war record was learned from hearing my grandmother, as she related it to my mother, and as her own knowledge was somewhat limited, as the mail line had not been established, and as I myself was but ten years old when she died, what I learned was between the ages of five and ten years, therefore the de- tails must be somewhat brief. But as you are aware, the hardships of the Revolutionary soldier were not few. Grandfather did not escape from hard marches, cold, roughness of roads and more than all from hunger. For instance, let me relate a little incident which was told by grandmother, and which played quite an important part in grandfather's life as a soldier. "One morning, having been without meat rations for some time, the squad accustomed to mess with him drew their rations and put them into the camp kettle and when half cooked, suddenly came the order to march. Grand- father at once hastened to the ofiicer in command of the company and got permission for them to remain until the meat was cooked, with the understanding that as soon as it was done, they should hasten on and overtake the army. General Washington had remained behind to see that every- thing had moved in order, and coming across these men, asked them if they did not know the order was to march. The squad put grandfather forward to reply. He stated that they had obtained permission to remain, explaining that they had not had their rations for some time previous, and had received and got them partially cooked when the order came to march. General Washington sent immedi- ately an orderly forward to the officer in command of the march, ordering him to investigate, and if the facts were as stated by my grandfather, to halt the army, go into camp and for the soldiers to cook their rations. The statement was ascertained to be true. I relate this incident to show how grandfather came to the notice of General Washington. There is no history which gives any account of this. The probable result of this interview I did not learn from my grandmother, who was a woman not much The Quinbt Family 227 given to extolling the virtues of her own family. I learned the sequel from an old comrade belonging to the same regi- ment with grandfather. "When I was a young man, I went about thirty miles back into the country on a courting expedition, and as it happened the parents of the girl I went to see were the next neighbors to Jacob Eastman, an old Revolutionary soldier. Being always much interested in the soldiers of the Revolution, I called to see him. I found him to be an intelligent, sound-minded, well-meaning man and very glad to make the acquaintance of, as he said, the grandson of his old Colonel. I told him there was some mistake, since my grandfather was only a private. "Why," said he, "I knew him just as well as I know my neighbor Brown, who has been my next neighbor for over forty years." I could not but believe that he was mistaken, but I continued to visit him for ten or a dozen years, two or three times a year, until his death, and every time I visited him, he de- clared that grandfather was his colonel, and in evidence of this knowledge, he mentioned the names of a number of old men whom I knew to be residents of our place and vicinity. Still, I could not divest myself of the idea that he must be mistaken, until I read the history of Commodore Farragut, whose father was, as he said, appointed Major in the Revolutionary army, and yet was not mentioned in history; his father was appointed by General Washington, as the latter was obliged to appoint such men as could perform the duties assigned them. Consequently I came to the conclusion that Mr. Eastman was not mistaken, but that grandfather was appointed by General Washington a colonel in the Revolutionary army. Col. Joseph was a mechanic, as were all his brothers, and in fact, mechanical genius is rather to be noticed as a trait of this branch of the family. "Grandfather's sons were Jacob and Archelaus who went West, and I have no further knowledge of them; also John, and Joseph, the latter of whom was my father. The daughters were Anna, Martha, Rebecca, Eunice, and Mary, who married respectively men by the names of Rolfe, Cox, Scammon, Houston and Towle." Now come the comments of L. B. Chapman, recently deceased, the well-known historian and genealogist of Maine and particularly of Portland and Saccarappa. Mr. Chapman evidently did not understand that it was not supposed the title of Colonel was ever oflBcially recorded. The following is from the Deering News of 22 Oct. 1903: 228 The Quinby Family "Joseph Quinby, senior, son of Benjamin, the clothier, enlisted in the cause of the Colonies May 10, 1775, under Capt. John Brackett, a land surveyor, residing at Sac- carappa, who commenced to obtain recruits April 24 of that year. The entire company, with five exceptions, was made up of citizens of the parts of Falmouth, now known as Westbrook and Deering, including all the officers. Joseph Quinby, senior, was a private, and I cannot learn that he ever ranked higher (Mass. Archives vol. 56, p. 215). His name appears also upon the Falmouth town books as a soldier. If he ever bore the title of "Colonel" it must have been honorary and homemade." Joseph * Quinby married Azuba *, daughter of Preserved and Catherine (Armstrong) Partridge. She was baptized 18 Dec. 1752 (57 N. E. H. and G. Register, 187). At the time of the Revolution, they lived on the spot where the Manual Training School now stands. All of their chil- dren were born there except the last. The first census (1790) names Joseph as head of a family comprising "two free white males under 16 years old, and five females," one, of course, the wife. "The family tradition is that while Joseph was gone to the war, a man by the name of Butts, who kept a grocery store (or a store of a little of everything) at Cap- isic, was to provide the family with whatever was needed. At that time it was impossible to purchase anything with- out paying exorbitant prices, and a large bill was the result. "In 1792 or 1793, the times were hard and as Joseph was not well, they decided to give up the home, and they moved to Gray, Me., where he worked at shookmaking, 'and once, provisions being so scarce and transportation so very limited, he walked to Saccarappa and returned with a bushel of meal, which he carried all the way, to keep actual starvation from entering the abode of his family.' " Joseph and Azuba in 1797 signed as one of the heirs of Capt. Jesse Partridge; and Joseph died in April of that year. Mr. Chapman says: "Joseph Quinby resided on Capisic street, Deering, at the date of his death, in a house that stood between the present residences of Mr. Albion P. Chapman and Edward L. Gould. Azuba married second Col. John Harvey, a soldier of the Revolution. He died in May, 1812, and the widow removed to Portland. She, in her own capacity, March 30, 1797, as 'Zuba Quinby, wife of Joseph Quinby,' ■^%1^ amsaaxsBsm I ^BSHHtP I I HUIlWl^t«>«,.— rtUtUM I'yHHTiriHi 334J0HN' Qtjinbt 335JosEtH' QriNBY Sons of 118 Joseph' Quinby. These silhouettes made about 1812 are owned by Mrs. Charles E. Quinby, Westbrook, Me. purchased land on each side of the highway between Sacc- arappa and Cumberland Mills, where the schoolhouse is located, about half way between the two places, paying therefor $424, but May 2nd of the same year she sold the same to Samuel Butts, then a trader at Capisic, for $246. Elbridge G. Riggs, some years ago, informed me that it was an exchange of titles between Azubah and Samuel, but it does not appear thus on our Cumberland records; but more than probable Mr. Riggs's statement was true, for Azubah with 'Colonel' John Harvey resided in the 'low-posted residence, facing the south, with very small glass,' located as I have represented, near Nason's Corner, 230 The Qudjby Family in Deering, where Mr. Harvey worked for Mr. Butts in his mill at Capisic, and in which house Mr. Harvey died, according to Parson Bradley's diary, in February of 1812. "June 24, 1799, Parson Bradley records that John Harvey subscribed two dollars towards the parson's 'settle- ment fee,' thus indicating that Mr. Harvey was hereabout at that date. "Mr. Harvey was a widower at the time he married the widow of Joseph Quinby and set up housekeeping at Nason's Corner. The indentation of the residence still appears on the northeasterly corner of the residence of the late Edward L.^ Goold. "June 26, 1819, an agent of the United States govern- ment sold the house and an acre of land to satisfy a de- mand growing out of a special tax on account of the war of 1812-16, the demand being against Joseph Quinby, the Revolutionary soldier, whose son John, residing at Minot, redeemed March 14, 1820, but the title, I think, was worthless. Joseph Copps was the next occupant of the house with a much larger lot." Children of Joseph* and Azuba (Partridge) Quinby: 333. I. AHCHBiiAUs' Quinby, born 28 Mar. 1776 (see); II. Anne ' Quinby, born 10 Feb. 1778; married 19 Apr. 1801 by Rev. Caleb Bradley to Samuel Rolfe, Jr., of Buxton, Me.; III.

Mag. p. 220; IV. Me. Hist, and Gen. Rec. 145); she died 24 Feb. 1842; VI. Mahtha' Qxhnby, born 1 Sept. 1787; married by Rev. Caleb Bradley 1 Dec. 1808, to Isaac Cox ("fee, $2") (IV. Me. H. and G.

Nathan* {Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert', Robert^) born 5 Mar. 1756, at Somersworth, N. H. He came while a youth to Saccarappa, Maine, and there was married by Rev. Dr. Deane, 2 May, 1779, to Rosina^ daughter of Preserved* and Catherine (Armstrong) Partridge (57 Reg- The Quinbt Family 231 ister, 187). Her sister Azuba had married Nathan's bro- ther Joseph • Quinby. The first United States census shows that in 1790 Nathan was head of a family at Falmouth, including be- sides himself and wife, two boys under 16, and a girl. In 1791, says Mr. L. B. Chapman {Deering News, 27 Apr. 1895) Nathan bought the Bailey farm on the north- easterly side of the Presumpscot river, opposite Saccarappa, which he sold to Timothy Pike. In 1797 Nathan and Rosina signed various papers now on record, as heirs of Capt. Jesse Partridge. The Saccarappa tax assessment is extent for 1814; it shows that Nathan was assessed "house $20; barn, $25." In 1817 Nathan sold to his son Hiram "my house and barn," which, (says Mr. Chapman) seem to have been located back of where the Universalist chapel stood on the northerly side of Main Street in the village. I have no record of the death of either Nathan or his first wife; "he married second (says Mr. Chapman) the widow Achers. They resided upon the 'Holy Ground' district of Saccar- appa village."

Simeon' Quinby, born 1789 (see). 120. Moses* {Benjamin^, Joseph^ Robert*, Roberf^ born at Somersworth, N. H. 21 June, 1759; married first 28 Apr. 1789, Abigail, daughter of Capt. Peletiah and Mary March of Amesbury, Mass., and Portland, Me. (Gorham rec.) She died 3 Aug. 1818. He was married second, by Rev. Caleb Bradley, 6 Mar. 1821, to Elizabeth, daughter of Moses G. Walker. Parson Bradley mentions in his diary that for performing the ceremony he received three dollars — a dollar more than the ordinary fee (IV. Me. H. and G. Rec.) Mrs. Betsey (Walker) Quinby died in 1849. Moses Quinby died 20 Mar. 1840. Some thirty years ago, a monument was erected upon the burial lot in the village cemetery at Westbrook (Saccarappa), beneath which the 232 The Qdinbt Pamilt old gravestones were buried. The inscription is as follows: Moses Quinby, 1758-1840; Abigail, 1770-1818; 2nd wife, Betsey Walker, 1771-1849. "Moses Quinby, a millwright, appears on record in 1792 as a purchaser of thirteen acres of land located upon what is now known as Saco street, a fourth of a mile out of the village, to which he made additional purchases and upon which he erected a dwelling house, where he resided and flourished till the time of his wordly demise. "September 7, 1803, for a consideration of $900 he purchased of Benjamin Quinby and wife Eleanor, one- fourth part of a gristmill where, as Benjamin says, 'my saw-mill now stands and has for many years, being on the northeasterly side of the privilege sold my son, Benjamin Quinby, Jr.' In 1806, he purchased the dyehouse, fulling mill, etc., of Benjamin, Sr." The 1810 census makes Moses and his wife as between 26 and 45 — according to the government form — and gives them three boys under ten, besides the other children. Moses Quinby was assessed for taxes in 1814 as follows: house, $250; barn, $35; 20 acres mowing, $25; also pas- turage; 2 oxen, 3 cows, 1 horse, 2 swine. September 24, 1813, there occurred in Saccarappa a destructive fire of mill property. The story preserved at the time in print is as follows; the loss sustained by the Quinby clan can be gathered somewhat from the closing paragraph of the article: Destructive Fire Wednesday, the 24th of September, at Saccarappa, were destroyed by fire, the paper mill, with its whole ap- paratus, about twenty tons of rags (excepting four or five tons partly consumed, preserved after the fire subsided) and about twenty reams of writing paper; three saw mills; the clothier's dye house; and a large building containing a grist mill and fulling mill, and two machines for carding wool. The cloth, most of the wool, and the carding ma- chinery were fortunately saved. The fire originated in the paper mill, and was first discovered between one and two o'clock in the afternoon. All persons had left it as early as nine or ten in the fore- noon. In 10 or 12 minutes after the fire was first dis- covered, this group of buildings were all in flames. Many other buildings, saw mills, houses and barns, from four or five to fifteen or twenty rods distant, and in one or two in- The Quinby Family 233 stances at a much greater distance, took fire from the light coals carried by the wind, which by extraordinary exertion were extinguished. "Much praise is due to all present for their activity, and especially to the females who rendered very essential service, without whose aid the fire would probably have spread much further, as many men of the place and vicinity were absent at the muster at Gorham. "The paper mill belonged to Messrs. Partridge & Tower, one saw mill to Samuel A. Proctor, one to Joshua Webb, and one to Joseph Partridge, Nathan and Moses Quinby, and the heirs of G. W. Quinby; the gristmill to Nathan and Moses Quinby; the carding machine to Moses Longfellow, and the fulling mill and dye house to Benjamin B. Foster. The loss cannot be estimated at less than 10 to 20 thousand dollars." {Eastern Argus, 7 Oct. 1813). The fulling mill, dye-house, etc., purchased in 1806 by Moses Quinby, were sold the same year to Mr. Foster. (1813). Sept. 10, 1828, Moses Quinby conveyed to his son, "Moses Quinby 3d," his homestead farm, house and mill. The designation of "3d" was because there was another Moses Qui^nby residing in the town at Stroudwater. Chil- dren of Moses' and Abigail (March) Quinby, born at Sac- carappa: 340. I.

He received a deed of land from his father 1 Oct. 1781 (bk. 138, p. 259). In 1790 the United States census shows that he was one of two heads of Quinby families at Amesbury, the other being his father, Daniel, who died the next year. In 1790 Robert's family consisted of himself, the only male, and four females, evidently his wife, Sarah, Betsy S. ^, and another, perhaps a servant. He had some military service, as he appears on the records as Lieut, and is so named on his gravestone. He was on the list of subscribers for shares in the Amesbury and Salisbury Academy in 1804. He died at Amesbury 25 Jan. 1843, of old age (Mass. Vital Rec). The ancient slate gravestones in the old part of the Union Cemetery at Amesbury are inscribed as follows: Lieut. Robert Quinby, Born May 23, 1753; Died, Feb. 26, 1843; Aged, 90y. In Memory of Sarah Quinby, wife of Robert Quinby, who died Aug. 20, 1819, in the 57th year of her age.

The west end of the town was set off in 1876 as a town named Merrimac. Since that time a part of Salisbury was annexed to Amesbury. The Lionsmouth road on which I lived leads from Amesbury to Newton, N. H. The house, like many others, faced the southeast, had two front rooms and chambers, with long kitchen on the N. W. with bedroom in south end. An ash tree cut down when my father was 21 years old, started again, and when he was sixty it measured 2f feet in diameter. When I was 4 years old we moved into a new house and the old house was sold. The house stood on the south side of the street or high- way. My grandfather and father lived in this house. Do not know whether great grandfather lived there or not. My father had a brother Daniel who died in infancy. Aunt Sally married Daniel Gale, aunt Betsey married Thomas Weed; these aunts were born in the old house." (Letter of Oct. 1909). "The first house owned or built by a Quinby at Amesbury was opposite the Timothy Currier house in Lionsmouth in Ames- bury on land that afterwards belonged to Philip Jones, Sr., and Jr. The house in which I as well as my father was born stood facing the southeast. My father sold the old house to William B. Gale, who used some of the lumber in building a blacksmith shop on School street in the village. The new house that father built faced north opposite the house owned by Philip Jones. This house and part of the farm I sold to Levi T. Currier in 1869." (Letter of 9 July, 1912). Will of Lieut.

Philip Jones Sargent Moody 2nd (?) Jacob Brown. 123. Jonathan" (Benjamin^, Benjamin*, Robert*, Rob- ert^). The records at Amesbury, Mass., give the eldest son of Benjamin* as John, born 11 Jan. 1748-9. Benjamin The Quinby Family 237 removed to Hopkinton, N. H., about 1770 with his family, and within three or four years Benjamin's only brother, Jonathan*, followed him to Hopkinton. They with their families seem to be the only Quinby residents at Hopkinton at the time. The problem is to account for this Jonathan ^ His tombstone at Hopkinton says he was aged 71 when he died 19 Apr. 1820. It is evident that he was therefore not a son of Jonathan % who was not married till 1755. Ben- jamin*, on the other hand, married Elizabeth Lowell 25 Feb. 1748, and their first child "John" appears on the record the following January. We have full records of all the sons of both brothers Benjamin* and Jonathan^ except this "John," while of Jonathan we have complete data. The Association Test was signed at Hopkinton in 1776 by two Jonathans; if they had been father and son one would have probably signed as junior, the names being on the same document, though separated by forty-seven other signatures. Confirming the idea that Jonathan ^ is the son of Benjamin* is the fact that on that document their signatures are together (VIII. N. H. State Papers, 242). Still more convincing evidence is the United States census report of 1790, which give Jonathan and (his eldest son) Isaac as heads of families in Hopkinton side by side; the names of one hundred and sixty-four other heads of families then follow, before we come to Benjamin and Jonathan as heads of families, also side by side. These four are the only heads of Quinby families on the census of 1790 in Hopkinton, and their position indicates that Benjamin* and young Jonathan lived in quite a different part of town from Jonathan* and his son Isaac. Jonathan* probably lived on the land deeded to him by Daniel Flanders of Hopkinton, 28 Feb. 1781, for fifty bushels of Indian corn. The tract was "eight acres, more or less." The grantee was called Jonathan Quinby, Jr., evidently to distinguish him from his uncle Jonathan* who was also a recorded grantee of land in Hopkinton. Land was also deeded to Jonathan «, 3 Nov. 1781, by Edward Stevens of Brentwood, N. H., for thirty-nine pounds. He is styled in the deed, Jonathan Quinby of Hopkmton, hus- bandm£i,n. , • i. t v. He had a military career, the record of which i have not identified. It is stated that he was a recruit in the .Revolution in 1781; and he is styled "Ensign" on various later records. 238 The Quinbt Pamilt Jonathan and wife Molly of Hopkinton deeded land there 14 Feb. 1805, to Timothy Flanders of that town. The United States census of 1810 gives Jonathan of Hopkinton and his wife, aged over 45, also a male and female over 26, who I suppose were Polly and perhaps the husband of the newly married Betty; also a male and a female between 16 and 26, who I suppose were John and Betty; and a girl under 10, probably the infant of the newly married couple. Jonathan married Mary George, born 1753. She died 10 Mar. 1850, age 96y. 10m. (4 N. E. H. and G. Reg. 294). Jonathan died at Hopkinton 19 Apr. 1820. His will, on the probate records of Hillsborough county, N. H., dated 19 June, 1819, probated 17 May, 1820, mentions wife Mary, daughters Polly and Betsy and sons John, Enos and Thomas. Ensign Jonathan and wife "Moley" (as the town clerk spelt it) had the following children born at Hopkinton (except Enos) : 345. I. Enos' Quinbt, born 30 Jan. 1775 at Salisbury, N. H. (see); 346. II. Thomas' Quinbt, born 31 Jan. 1777 (see); III. Mart' Quinbt, born 4 June, 1781; married to Oliver Clement 6 Feb. 1812, by Thos. Bailey, J. P., at Hopkinton; IV. Elizabeth' Quinbt, born 14 Sept. 1787, married 18 Aug. 1808, at Hopkinton to Joseph, son of Eastman' and Martha Hoyt of Windsor, Vt., born 21 July, 1786, and had eight children; 347. V. John' Quinbt, born 18 Aug. 1790 (see); 124. Benjamin* (Benjamin^, Benjamin*, Robert', Rob- ert^) bom 15 Oct. 1761, (South Hampton, N. H, records). He was a young lad when he came to Hopkinton with his father. He entered the Army at the age of twenty (see record following). He afterwards was married by Rev. Cornelius Waters at Goffstown, N. H., to Susannah Harvey of Derry ot Londonderry, N. H., and they had eleven children. The census of 1790 gives Benjamin as the only one of the name heading a family at Enfield; he had one boy, under 16 years old, and two girls. Mrs. Susannah died in 1814; Benjamin, Jr., lived 7 years a widower, then married Gertrude Stanley and lived with her without issue until his death 31 May, 1837, at Enfield, N. H.; administration papers on file at Woodsvilfe, N. H. Children, probably all boi-n at Enfield, N. H.: I. Elizabeth ' Quinbt ("Betsey") born 21 June* 1786; she never married. The QuiNBY Family 239 II. Susan ' QuiNBY, born 10 Mar. 1788; she never mar- ned; in 1850 she lived with Mr. Dunham's family at Marshfield, Vermont; III. Benjamin' Quinby, Jr., born 21 July, 1789; "he went to Canada with his brother John in the year 1815; no tidings of them since;" both are __, _ mentioned in the father's administration papers; IV. Sarah' Quinby ("Sally") born 4 May, 1791; mar- ried Philister Joy of Plainfield or Meriden, N. H., no issue known; V. John' Quinby, born 17 Dec. 1792; (see Benjamin' above) ; 348. VI. James' Quinby, born 12 Oct. 1794 (see); VII. Mary' Quinby, born 17 Jan. 1797; married William Farnham and lived at Thetford, Vt.; no issue; VIII. Rosamond ' Quinby, born 5 Sept. 1798; called Ro- sanna in her father's administration papers; mar- ried Elias Bascom of Bethel, N. H., and had chil- dren; IX. Freeman' Quinby, born 31 July, 1801; died at an early age; 349. X. Harvey' Quinby, born 15 Sept. 1803 (see); 350. XI. Dunham' Quinby, born 12 July, 1805 (see). The Census of 1810 gives this entire family with com- plete accuracy as to number, age and sex, living at Enfield, Grafton county, N. H.

H., and from thence marched and joined the army at White Plains in July, 1781, from thence to Peekskill, thence to Gallows Hill, thence to Soldiers Fortune, thence to Fishkill Landing, thence by water to Albany, and from thence to Saratoga, where he was discharged in Decem- ber, 1781. Affidavit of Daniel Stickney and John How of Enfield, New Hampshire, sworn to before John Bryant, Justice of the Peace; 240 The Quinbt Family dated 24 July, 1832; "That we were residentb of Hopkinton, New Hampshire, at the time of the Revolutionary war, and were there well-acquainted with Benjamin Quinby, now of Enfield, and well remember that said Quinby went into the service in 1781 and did actual service as we then understood, and do now verily believe, for the space of six months in Capt. Foy's company of Col. Scammel's regiment." Moses Flanders of Enfield, New Hamp- shire, does "depose and say that to my knowledge Benjamin Quinby of said Enfield with whom I was acquainted previous to the commencement of the Revolutionary war, did enlist under Capt. Ebenezer Foy, company of Col. Scammel's New Hampshire regiment in the month of June, 1781, for the term of six months and served all the term of his engagement. I was at and during said time a member of said company." 125. Isaac* (Jonathan^, Benjamin*, Robert', Robert') born 21 Jan. 1753, according to the record of Amesbury, Mass. In 1777, he enlisted as a private in Capt. Joshua Bayley's company in Col. Thomas Stickney's regiment, in Gen. Stark's brigade. "The company marched from Hop- kinton in July, 1777, and joined the Northern Continental Army." Isaac enlisted 22 July, 1777, and was discharged 17 Sept. 1777, having been "1 mo. 27 da. in service," at £4:10sh. per mo., amounting to £8:11 sh. with 15sh. for travel to "Charleiston No. 4," sixty miles at 3d. per mile, and £1:1 :8d. for travel home, 160 miles at 2d. per mile, all of which totalled £10:7:8. The payroll, verified 22 Nov. 1777, showed that Isaac had received £4:10sh. and that there was a balance due him of £5:17:8. (XV. N. H. State Papers, 183). Isaac married Lucy, daughter of Dea. Stephen and Judith Sargent of Amesbury. "They lived many years in Deering, N. H., and then moved to East Unity, N. H., in the autumn of 1813." Isaac is named in the U. S. Census of 1790 as head of family at Hopkinton, N. H., consisting of himself, one boy under 16 and three females. Nov. 7, 1792, Jonathan Quin- by, Isaac Quinby, Ruth Quinby, Lucy Quinby (father, son and wives), sold land in Deering, (being part of the land laid out of the proprietors of Bow) for 234 pounds. In the census of 1810 he and his wife, still of Deering, are over 45; they have children thus — a boy, over 16 and under 26; a boy and a girl between 10 and 16; and a boy and a girl under 10. Isaac, his wife Lucy and others deeded 13 July, 1797, to Moses Sargent, land in Amesbury (Essex Registry, Salem, Mass., vol. 162, p. 202). Feb. 20, 1811, Lucy Quin- by and Isaac Quinby, of Deering, sold land in Hopkinton — The Quinby Family 241 formerly owned by Stephen Sargent, deceased, for 60 dollars. Sept. 5, 1811, the same parties sold land in Hopkinton, formerly owned by Stephen Sargent, late of Hopkinton, deceased; Cheshire county records (Sullivan county was set off from Cheshire in 1827). Benjamin Huntoon, Jr., of Unity made to Isaac Quinby of Deering June 28, 1811, for $800, a lease for 999 years, of a tract of land lying in Unity and being in the first range of 100 acre lots, num- ber 26, 100 acres except half an acre at the southeast cor- ner of said lot, said lot originally drawn for a school lot; also part of lot No. 25, in the first range of 100 acre lots, 150 acres more or less and originally drawn for a minister lot. Isaac * died in Unity in 1813. By petition of his widow, Lucy Quinby, a brother, Benjamin Quinby, of Deering, was appointed administrator, 15 Sept. 1813. An inventory of his property was filed 29 Nov. 1813, showing real estate valued at S525 and personal property at $354.30; 20 June, 1816, the widow's third was set off upon her peti- tion. Benjamin* Quinby, administrator of Isaac* Quinby of Unity, N. H., sold to Stephen ' Quinby the highest bidder, 47 acres, parts of lots 25 and 26 in the first range, for $166, 2 Sept. 1816 (liber. 76, p. 250, Keene (N. H.) deeds). Benjamin * Quinby, administrator of Isaac * Quinby of Unity, sold to Jacob Chase forty acres of land in Unity, part of lot 26, 2 Sept. 1816, 7 Dec. 1816 (liber. 75, p. 134, Keene deeds); 16 Jan. 1817, the administrator rendered his accounts, showing payments of $1,056.17, and receipts from real estate and personal property of $730.27, leaving $325.90 due the administrator. Deeds are also on record as follows: Benjamin Quinby, admr., to Jacob Chase, 2 Sept. 1816, $188, 40 acres; Benj. Quinby, admr., to Stephen Quinby, 3 June, 1820, $63, 37 acres, the widow's dower excepted during her natural life; Stephen Quinby to James Cunningham, Jan. 8, 1817, $250, 47 acres, "being a part of lots No. 25 and 26 in the first range of lots." This joins a lot set off to Lucy Quinby in the estate of Isaac Quinby deceased. (Compare deed of 8 Jan. 1817, by Benjamin Quinby to James Cunningham). Isaac* and Lucy (Sargent) Quinby's children, born at Deering, N. H. : I. Elizabeth ' Quinby, married Jonathan Colby, had Lydia and Hiram, and died at Hillsboro, N. H.; II. Ruth' Quinby, married to Lewis Churchill of Cor- nish, 3 May, 1826, at Unity, by Francis Chase, J. P.; she had one child and died at Cornish; (16) 242 The Quinby Pamilt 351. III. Stephen' Quinby, born 16 Dec. 1793 (see); IV. Jonathan' Quinby, born 1796, never married; died at Unity, 1868 (see Sarah below); V. Sakah' Quinby, born 1799, never married; the United States census of 1860 shows her and her unmarried brother Jonathan living at Unity with their married brother Isaac; she died 4 July, 1886, at Hillsboro, N. H.; 352. VI. Isaac Quinby, born 24 Apr. 1807 (see); Note — This family ia given by Rev. Silas E. Quimby in his monograph on Benjamin Quinby and Descendants, published at Bristol, N. H., (1910); also mentioned in the History of Henniker, N. H. 126. Benjamin*, {Jonathan^, Benjamin*, Robert", Rob- ert^) born 24 Feb. 1768, at Amesbury, Mass., and removed when about six years old with his parents, to a farm in Hopkinton, N. H. He married at Henniker, N. H., 17 Nov. 1791, Keziah Bickford of Hopkinton (born 10 Jan. 1773, died 14 Jan. 1833). They moved immediately to a farm in Deering, N. H., where they made their home. The U. S. census of 1810 gives them all. About 1813, they moved to Unity, N. H., and there died. He died 17 Mar. 1834, at the home of his son Benjamin ^ His son, Rev. Silas', wrote 26 July, 1872, to Rev. Hosea Quinby, as follows: "Benjamin, my father, moved to Deering, N. H., where he had nine children born; four died there; then he moved to Unity, had one more. Six children lived to maturity, three sons and three daughters. He died at the age of 66. He used to write his name Quinby, but we boys have writ- ten it Quimby. One word: all of the Q's of my acquaint- ance have been industrious, prudent, honest; mostly farmers — one machinist, three preachers." He bought and sold land in Unity as is seen by the following abstract of deeds from the Cheshire county records: 22 Nov. 1813, Benjamin Huntoon, Jr., to Benjamin Quinby, land in Unity "being a part of lot No. 25 in first range of lots and is the remaining part of said lot after taking off 30 acres off the west side of the lot which I deeded to William Jackson; a>nd a piece I deeded to Isaac Quinby off of the east side of said lot." Supposed to be 49 acres more or less. 30 Apr. 1814, William Jackson to Benjamin Quinby for $111, land in Unity, part of lot No. 25 in the first range of 100 acre lots, containing 24 acres. 22 Jan. 1816, Benjamin Quinby sold to James Brigham of Lempster for $500, land in Unity, containing about 73 The QuiNBY Family 243 acres more or less, "and is a part of lot No. 25, in the first range, and contains the whole of said lot except about 21 acres on the east thereof now owned by the heirs of Isaac Quinby, and about six acres at the southwest corner of said lot, now owned by William Jackson, and is the whole of the farm I now live on and improve." This land was reconveyed by James Brigham to Benjamin Quinby 8 Jan. 1817, and was on the same date conveyed by Benjamin Quinby to James Cunilingham of Hillsborough. It is stated that Benjamin lost all his property by going on a bond for a friend, and that for years he was extremely careful to keep the doors of his house locked, as the law of the time is said to have permitted the sheriflF to enter and levy upon the contents of a house if he could enter peaceably. The Sullivan county (N. H.) records show that his estate was insolvent at his death. Children of Benjamin * and Keziah (Bickford) Quinby, born at Unity except X.: I. Infant', born and died at Deering; II. Infant', born and died at Deering; III. Dorothy' Quinby, born 4 Nov. 1795; married by Francis Chase, J.

Lorenda' Quinby, born at Unity, Apr. 1814, died 28 Apr. 1831. Note — Rev. Silas E. Quimby's book contains much of the foregoing, and our thanks are due him for the material about land transfers. Two of the three sons who grew up became ministers, and all three spelled their names Quimby as their descendants do. The great grandsons of John^ {Robert^) numbered from 128 to 185 inclusive with their sons of the 7th generation, numbered from 356 to 477 inclusive^ are omitted from this volume. They all spell the name Quimby. 186. Joseph* (Henry ^, Philip*, Joseph'', Robert^) born 16 May, 1762, at Amesbury, Mass., says the town record. 244 The Qthnby Family The family record gives variously 16 May, 1763 and 1764, at Newbury port, Mass. The U. S. census of 1790 indicates that he l,ived with his father's family at Newbury, Mass., at that time. The next mention of him is in the U. S. records which show that a patent for an invention in saw- mills was granted to Joseph Quinby of Boston, 25 Apr. 1806, which must have been the same Joseph. Joseph removed to Charleston, South Carolina, where he engaged in shipbuilding, and "held a commission as an officer in the militia for thirty years, with rank of captain, during which time he served in the war of 1812." He married 2 Jan. 1794, Elizabeth Speissegger. He was drowned 16 Mar. 1818, in the Stone River. He had the following children, born at Charleston (only four married) : 478. I. Henry M. ' Quinby, born 18 Nov. 1794, died 2 Oct. 1821; 479. II. Joseph' Quinby, born 14 Oct. 1796 (see); 480. III. Thomas' Quinby, born 12 Oct. 1798 (see); IV.

Mrs. Bell's Obituary "In the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Quinby Bell, relict of the late David Bell of Charleston, S. C, (of which city they were both natives) which occurred in the city of New York, on the 16th day of September, 1873, whither she had gone to be present at the marriage of her youngest son, her family and friends have sustained a loss so great, and are called upon to endure a grief so deep and holy, that the most eloquent words of condolence can but seem as meaningless and empty, and attempts of con- solation and comfort appear intrusive. Nor will this feeling be confined to her immediate family and circle of intimate friends, none who, even of her most casual associates, but will deeply sympathize with the bereaved mourners whom this visitation more directly affects. From early youth to vigorous maturity, and thence down the slope to her allotted 'three score years and ten,' when 'As one who wraps the drapery of her couch about her She lay down to pleasant dreams.' The QmNBY Family 24:5 her daily walk was a perpetual example of unpretending piety, continuous good works and unfailing charity to all who came with- in the sphere of her influence. Fervently and unaffectedly be- lieving 'He doeth all things well,' that terrible double affliction she was called upon to bear in the loss of her husband and second son upon the same day — during the war — wrung from her 'No loud laments, not one unseemly word;' humbly, patiently and hopefully she bowed to the stroke, and murmuring to her bereaved heart, 'the Lord giveth and the Lord hias taken away,' courageously addressed herself to the task of impressing upon her stricken family the duty of resignation and fortitude. Endowed by nature with mental powers and moral attributes that would have charmed and adorned any society, she preferred to limit their unostentatious exhibitipii to her own family and the comparative few who were so fortunate as to be- come her intimate friends, all of whom found in her up to the last, both in precept and example, their best counsellor, guide and friend. "Fervently pious, she never approached fanaticism or asceti- cism; firm in all of her convictions she never questioned the honesty of opinion of those with whom she differed; rigid and exacting with herself as to the performance of every duty, she was ever lenient and charitable to the failings of others. A loving wife, a devoted, affectionate, self-sacrificing and watchful mother; a sympathetic yet always prudent friend, and a humble, devoted Christian, she continually strove to discharge faithfully every duty of life, never going out of her way to seek burdens and diflficulties whereby to magnify her own merit, but doing whatever 'her hand found to do, in the fear of the Lord.' "That such a mother and friend should be mourned with a grief commenstrate with the reverential affection inspired by the manifold virtues and excellencies exhibited in her daily life, is naturally inevitable, but even the bereaved son and daughter, whom this visit of the 'dread messenger' most poignantly afllicts, must find some alleviation of their sorrow in the reflection that for such a character, death could have no terrors; that after a life of usefulness and self-denial, she has now merely exchanged the temporal for the eternal service and praise of Him in whose fear she lived and died. ^- ^- ^• Note— BeH.

Moses* {Henrys, Philip*, Joseph*, Robert^) born 23 June, 1764, at Amesbury, Mass. The family record says 11 June, 1765. He was married 2,5 Apr. 1790, by Rev. Mr. Kimball to Elizabeth Hunt, at Newbury, Mass. Both the intention and the marriage are on record there. The census of 1790 names him as head of a family at Newbury, consisting only of himself and his bride. The census of 1810, gives his residence as Newburyport, Mass. Besides his wife he thjen had two girls under ten, and one between ten and sixteen years of age. He died 4 July, 1811; Eliza- beth his widow died 29 Mar. 1822, at Newburyport. Children, born at Newbury, Mass.: I. Hannah' Quinbt, born 20 Sept. 1791; one Han- nah's intention of marriage with Dudley Hanly is recorded 27 May, 1805, at Newburyport; and there is a marriage of one Hannah at Newbury- port recorded 29 Nov. 1815, to David Emerson of Weare, N. H.; II. Susan' Quinbt ("Sukey") born 27 July, 1793; she died unmarried 14 Mar. 1870, of general debility, at Salisbury Mills, Mass., "aged 77y. 7m. 15d." Thomas J. Clark was appointed administrator in April, 1870; among the claims allowed against the $1336 in the estate was $288 to Henry Bart- lett for two years' board. She was aged 77y. 7m. according to her tombstone, which further says: "Death does not part us though it seems too." 483. III. Moses' Quinbt, born 25 Jan. 1799 (see). 188. Henry', (Henry ^, Philip*, Joseph^, Robert'') was born 11 June, 1766, at Amesbury, Mass. He married Eliza and lived at Newburyport. Eliza his wife died there 30 Sept. 1810. He seems to have been the Henry who married 25 July, 1824, Mehitable*, daughter of Joseph' and Tamsen (Twambly) Waldron. She was born 25 July, 1789, and died Mar. 1858. (Mehitable's sister Sarah married George W.^ Quinby (Benjamin ', Ben- jamin^, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert^). She and her ancestry are mentioned in V. N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register, p. 205). They may have been the parents of Susan Ann, born 1826; George W., born 1829, and Lydia J., born 1833; but this Henry's advanced years lead me to believe they were the children of his son Henry '. The United States Cepsus of 1810 gives Henry as head of a family comprising his wife aged between 26 and 45, with another woman of like age, also two girls and a boy between 10 and 16 years old; and two boys under 10. Children of Henry » and Eliza Quinby, born at New- buryport, Mass.: The Quinbt Family 247 484. I. Joseph' Quinbt, born 9 June, 1796; II. Maky Ann ' Quinby, born 29 Mar. 1798; III. Harriet' Quinby, born 19 July, 1800; married Daniel Smith, 26 Nov. 1818, at Newburyport; their intention of marriage is also on record; 485. IV. William Currier' Quinbt, born 22 Dec. 1802; his marriage intention with Hannah Dearborn of Greenland, N. H., was recorded 31 Jan. 1829, at Newburyport; 486. V. Henry' Quinby, born 14 Nov. 1805 (see); VI. Eliza ' Quinby, born 9 Apr. 1809, died 11 Apr. 1809. 189. Philip* {Henry \ Philip*, Joseph^ Robert^) born 9 Apr. 1777, at Amesbury, Mass. He always spelled his name Quinby and it is so recorded in the family Bible. He was a carpenter. He married 13 Dec. 1797, at New- bury, Sarah Foss, born at Newmarket, N. H., who died of palsy at Haverhill, Mass., 16 Nov. 1852, aged 82. He died at Haverhill of inflammation of the bowels, 15 May, 1855, "aged 80." (See N. E. Hist, and Gen. Reg. 1853). His will was proved in Essex county, Mass., 26 June, 1855. The U. S. census of 1810 gives Philip as head of a family at Newbury, Mass., consJfeting of himself, a boy under 10, evidently Philip'; a girl between 10 and 16; two women between 26 and 45, one of whom no doubt his wife and two women over 45. The census olf 1850 gives Philip, age 76, and Sarah aged 81, living together at Haverhill, Mass.; his real estate worth $1500. In Dec. 1879, after the death of the widow of his son Philip, Jr., an administrator of an undivided balance was appointed on petition of the following, the only then lega- tees and heirs at law of Philip': C. O. ' Quinby, Caroline Sanborn and Susan M. Quinby. The property amounted to $3090.19, of which a house and lot on School st. was appraised at $1200, and a house and lot on Chestnut st., $955. The old geiitleman had evidently loaned Philip, Jr., $700, and taken a mortgage on the home of the latter, so that when Mary J., Philip Jr.'s wife, died, it was sold and the proceeds went to his children as heirs of their grand- father Philip, Sr., instead of to the next of kin, who got only the balance of her estate, about $36.00 each. Children I. Maria ' Quinby, born 8 Mar. 1799, at Newbury- port; married Sawyer; died before 1852; II. Ann' Quinby, born 26 May, 1801 (Newbury record); died 16 Feb. 1802; 487. III. Philip' Quinby, born 2 Mar. 1803, at Newbury- port (see). 248 The Quinby Family Will of Philip • Quinby Know all men by these presents that I Philip Quinby of Haverhill, in the county of Essex and Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts, being in ill health and of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make and publish this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all previous wills by me at any time heretofore made.

JosiAH' (Josiah^, John*, John'', John'', Will- iam'^) born 15 May, 1762, at Orange, N. J. He, like his father, is constantly called Josias in various records. It is said that the record of Revolutionary pensions shows his name, with the words: "lived in Hanover township, Morris county, from 1768." He moved to Troy Hills, N. J., and located in 1797 on the farm where David E. Quinby lives (1899; History of Morris County), "and erected the first gristmill on the Parsippanty brook at Troy Hills. He later purchased a farm and engaged in the manufacture of shoes for the southern trade. He was a Presbyterian and Whig." He married first, Phoebe Harrison of Orange, born in 1760; she died 26 Dec. 1813, "aged 50" (her brother Amos Har- rison was an early settler at Troy Hills; his grand-daughter Sarah Louisa married David Eugene* Quinby).

Josiah died 25 Mar. 1836. Mr. Isaac Quinby Gurnee of Butler, N. J., says: "About 1903 I questioned uncle Eugene (David E. Quinby) who resembled Josias of Troy who died in 1835; he said he remembered him well and that my uncle Dewitt C. Quinby resembled him greatly. You will note from their portraits that each had a nose strongly Roman, as had Martha (Quinby) DeHart. Emma (Quinby) Cobb, my mother's sister was a strong featured woman, had a Roman nose and a strong mind." Children of Josiah ' and Phoebe (Harri- son) Quinby: 493. I.

The composer of this unusual epitaph was superintendent of schools at Morristown; 496. VII. Moses' Quinby, born 1 Apr. 1791, died 19 Nov. 1836, aged 45y. 7m. 19d. at Parsippany, un- married; VIII.

The Qumbys also mter- married several times with the Harrison family of Newark; Mr. Gurnee says they are said to be "related to the Harrisons of Virgmia from whom our two Presidents came." It is said that a very complete list of the descendants of Josiah' Quinby is in the possession of Arthur Kimball, 64 Dodd St., East Orange, N. J. Mr. Isaac Quinby Gurnee, of Butler, N. J., is the recognized historian of this branch of the Quinbys; he has studied the subject much and has published several articles about the family. 252 The Quinbt Family A. Smith. Miss Eleanor A. Smith of Troy Hills gives her grandmother Rachel's birth date as 8 Feb. 1800 and says her death occurred 28 Oct. 1888. Quinby Reunion, 1914 A reunion of members of the Quinby clan descended from 193Josiah ', and particularly of those who live near the old church at Parsippany, was held at the chapel there on Saturday after- noon, 3 Oct. 1914.

Joseph was married second 15 Apr. 1804, by Rev. Dr. McWhorter of Newark, N. J., to Mary, daughter of Dr. Philemon Elmer of Westfield, N, J. Dr. Joseph Quinby died 26 Mar. 1835, at West- field, N. J., it is said without issue, though this may be incorrect, there being some mention of children by his second wife, who died in 1842. The following is from the Newark Daily Advertiser: "Essex County District Medical Society, Newark, N. J,, 28 Mar. 1835. Intelligence having been received this morn- ing from Westfield of the death of Dr. Joseph Quinby, a respected physician of that place, and a member of this society from its institution, agreeably to a standing regula- tion provided for such cases, the members of the Society, in token of their respect for the memory of the deceased, will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Samuel H. Pennington, Sec'ty. N. B. Publishers of papers The Quinbt Family 253 in the County are respectfully requested to insert the above notice." It is a family tradition that Dr. Joseph « was fond of spKorts, such as horseracing — a characteristic of some of th;e family. 195. John* (Josiah^, John*, John^, John\ Will- iam^) born in 1770 at Orange, N. J.

Second Establishment, First regiment is mani- festly erronenous, for his gravestone in the old cemetery at Orange says that he died 3 June, 1839, in his 69th year which would make him only seven years old at the time of the battle.

LIFE OF SAMUEL' QUINBY "Samuel Quinby, son of Judge Quinby, throughout a long, active and honorable public career, continued to maintain the e|aviable name and reputation established by his father. He was, at an early age, appointed Assistant Postmaster at Warren, by General Simon Perkins, the first Postmaster of the territory. He was clerk in his father's store from 1814 to 1817, and during the last named year he became one of the proprietors of the Western Reserve Chronicle, one of the oldeist journals on the Reserve, which position he held till 1819. Upon the election of the late John Sloane to Congress from the Sixth District of Ohio, he was ap- pointefd, by Presid€&it Monroe, to succeed Mr. Sloane in the office of ReceivejT of Public Moneys of the United States Land Office for the district, of land^ subject to sale, at. Wooster, Ohio, removing hither in May, 1819. During his residence in Woostar he was The Quinbt Family 257 aTonpl*pin^/.*^^ ^^'^ party for Congress, and although it was ?hP nffilfof p^'*'-^^ 'TJ^L>'' ^^^^"^oe of his ticket. He held that of Treasurer of Wayne county from the year 1822 to 1838. ^no+i, rT • ^ returned to Warren, where he lived until his «t!fr™" ■^""^e.'^ost of his life political discussions were usually Onf^^ ^1a *"'"^"i«^*- 1° the election of 1828 he supported John 2^«K^ Tf fo/ President; and when the political temp^t which overwhelmed his administration for its alleged ^travagance and corruption broke upon the country and defeated his r€helec- tion, and ejected Gene/ral Jackson in his stead, the triumphant party did not succeed in displacing Mr. Quinby, as was the case generally of others, though great efforts were made for that pur- f^^t' ij u"^^ *^® administration of General Jackson he continued u-i- •* °^^^ °^ Receiver of Public Moneys at Woostei-, his ability, integrity and purity of character, and the high esteem in which he was held as a faithful public officer, at home and at Washington, having insured him against removal from office. His well known hostility to slavery transferred his allegiance from the Whig to the Republican party, of which he continued an esteejmed and influential member to the close of his life. He was twice dected to the Senate from Trumbull county, serving full terms — the first in 1844 and the second in 1861. He was for many years a director of the Western Reserve Bank, and the associate of Per- kins, Parsons, Freeman, and others, who gave the institution its good name and reputation. "The twenty years, principally of official life, spent by Sam- uel Quinby in Wayne county, defines an era in its history. Having but few predecessors, he inaugurated the Augustan age of public and private virtue. He left an example of official purity and per- sonal integrity worthy of emulation for all time. He was not a politician, according to the construction of that term in these d^ys of corruption, misrule and mal-administration. When ele- vated to positions of honor and public trust he was chosen be- cause of his signal fitne'fes for the place, and he discharged its duties with punctilious fidelity and scrupulous regard to his con- scientious as wdll as his official obligations. No temptation or illicit motive swayed or swervefd the infl^ible bent and purpose of his aim. His official reputation is without a stain. His public records are models of methodical system, aptness and efxactndps. His p^manship is in the perfection of the art, ekch work a litho- graph, and as symmetrical as the scrivener's of old, who, after a long life of devotion to his art, died with the King's syllables upon his p^ii. A promise with him was equivalent to its fulfill- ment. Honesty was inscribed upon his shield; it was the rule of his life, and the assurance of that possesion by the humblest citizen entitled him to Mr. Quinby's consideration. "The surviving pionejers of the county bring united testimony to his noble impulses and genfltous disposition. . He appeared at a crisis in their midst when they sorely needed a counselor and whefa substantial assistance be^came one of the unforgotten boons. As treasurer of the county for many years he had opportunity of knowing the financial distresses of the toiling, moneyless settlers. With this lattet class is where Mr. Quinby rose to the dignity of the pioneer's true friend. We have it from the lips of old men (17) 258 The Quinbt Family yet living in Wayne county that upon a candid and truthful ret)resentation of their financial condition, he voluntarily paid their taxejs for years, never exacting a cent of interest, and only asking back what he paid, and ailording any reasonable time to pay it in. To those who spoke regretfully of leaving comfortable homes in other States, and talkefji of selling out and returning, he addressed worths of encouragem^t, saying, "This is a great coun- ty, let us make it our children's." A decided affirmative answer to the question, "Will you stay with us and help fight our bat- tlra?" relieved the heavy heart of many a penniless tax-payer. "His name is today laden with a fragrance in the memory of the pioneers, and they r^Vert to his manifold kindnesses with sighs and sadnefes. Such a man, in such times of trial rises to the maj- esty of a benefactor, and such a life leaves more than a transient impression upon the age and period where its activities are dis- played. He was a prominent and respected member of the Bap- tist church in Warren, and his daily life and conversation illus- trated the virtue^ of the Christian gentleman. Of the six children by the first marriage, two only, and of the first by the second, one only, survived him. He was an older brother of Ephraim Quinby, Jr., a biographical sketch of whom appears in this work. "It is emphatically evident that the Quinby family was an enviably prominent one. In their successful operations for the development of the resources of the country, they have demon- strated a high order of business ability and commercial integrity. Their personal example and laudable endeavors to elevate the moral religious tone of the communities in which they moved,, celebrate their virtues and the excellencies of their lives. The unstained and unimpeachable characters they maintained in the various positions of responsibility and honor entrusted to them by the people constitute an enduring monument." (Levi Cox, His- tory of Wayne county). 222. William B. ' (Ephraim^, Ephraim*, Josiah*, John*, William^) born 24 Nov. 1799, in Washington county, Pa.; married Sophronia, daughter of Rufus and Lydia (Paine) Spalding, says a family record. The Vital records of Norwich, Connecticut, say: "William Quinby of Warren, Ohio, and Sophronia M. Spalding of Norwich, were mar- ried there 6 Apr. 1826, by Rev. Joseph Strong." Mr. Quinby died 11 Dec. 1871. Children: I. Thomas G. ' Quinby, died in infancy; II. William Rufus' Quinby, died in infancy; 571. III. William Thomas' Quinby, born 18 Jan. 1833, at Pittsburgh, Pa.

McConahay; he was a large owner of real estate in Cleveland, Ohio. His home was at Wooster, Ohio, where he died 30 Jan. 1880. Ephraim' Quinby came to Wooster, 0., from Trum- bull county. "He married Catherine, daughter of David McConahay who represented Wayne county in the Ohio legislature in 1825 and was associate judge. Ephraim was a wise and prudent man," says a local history, "and acquired a large fortune, mostly in real estate, located in many of the western cities, but largely in Wooster, which was improved by him and constituted very largely the first steps of progress of this beautiful city. Wooster re- ceived its first impulse in 1868, when he gave twenty one acres of land upon which the college is located; he con- tributed additionally to the endowment of the university; he established the Wayne county National Bank, which yet exists as one of the most prominent banks of the city." His son was: 573. Edward McConahay' Quinby, born 21 Feb. 1851, at Wooster (see). 227. George* {Ephraim^, Ephraim*, Josiah*, John*, William^) born 28 Aug. 1815, at Warren, Ohio; married 17 May, 1855, at Bucyrus, Ohio, Wilhelmina Regina Moffett, born 17 Dec. 1832, at Hagerstown, Md., daughter of Will- iam and Elizabeth (Shuman) Moffett. The 1900 directory of Wooster, Ohio, gave George and Regina as living at 65 South Market st. George Quinby died at Wooster 18 Apr. 1904. In 1910 his widow was living at 103 East Jacob st., Louisville, Ky. She died in January, 1914, at Los Angeles, Cal. The obituary notice says: "The Quinby family moved from Bucyrus to Wooster where they were promi- nent in both civic and social affairs. The name is revered by local citizens and the death of this aged lady Wednes- 260 The Quinbt Family day morning will be met with universal sympathy" (Woos- ter Democrat, 9 Jan. 1914). The Quinby block, a building at the northeast corner of the Public Square at Bucyrus perpetuates the name. Children of George • Quinby: 574. I. James Moffett' Quinby, born 25 Mar. 1856 (see); 575. II. Charles L. ' Quinby, born 1 June, 1858 (see) ; III. Susan Scott' Quinby, born 3 Mar. 1861; married 6 Sept. 1881, at Wooster, George E. Kline and lives (1911) at 535 Ormsby st., Louisville, Ky.; IV. Sarah B. ' Quinby, born 1 Mar. 1863, died 17 Dec. 1863; V. Nancy L. ' Quinby, born 23 Aug. 1867, married 1 June, 1892, Harvey H. Laubach, lived at Pitts- burgh, Pa., and later moved (1910) to California. 228. Daniel* (Moses ^, Aaron*, Josiah', John^, Will- iam^) born probably in Westchester county ( a descendant says at Henrietta), N. Y., 3 mo. 9, 1778. The Friends' records show that he married at Purchase, Westchester county, 11 mo. 14, 1798, Anne, daughter of David and Naomi Halstead of Harrison in the same county ("marriage intention 10, 11, 1798; 11, 8, 1798; reported accordingly, 12, 13, 1798"). The Frost Genealogy (p. 117, makes the following statement in which I italicise the errors: "David Quinby married 11 July 1803, Anna, born 16 Dec. 1775, daughter of David and Patience (Barnes) Halstead of Long Island." The census of 1810 gives Daniel Quinby and wife as under 45 years of age, living at Northeast, Dutchess coun- ty, N. Y., his family including two girls and a boy all under 10 years old, and one girl and a boy between ten and sixteen years old. Daniel married second, Deborah Powell. A deed of 1822 mentions him as a Quaker preacher, resident of Free- dom, Delaware county, N. Y. His is the family of Hick- sites (Unitarian Friends) recorded in the list of the Roch- ester Monthly Meeting, Henrietta Preparative Meeting, in 1828 as follows: "Daniel and Deborah, adults; Elijah, Naomi and Henry, minors." The marriage of Hannah in 1824 at Henrietta is the only Quinby vital record found on the index of the Farmington Monthly Meeting, Ontario county, established in 1803. Daniel's family is the only branch of our name mentioned; all at Henrietta. The Friends' minutes there show that Deborah, Rev. Daniel's wife, was appointed on the Committee in 1838 and was appointed an Elder, 1 mo. 24, 1845. The minutes of the Hicksites at the Henrietta Monthly meeting, (says William W. Cocks of Mendon) show that The Quinby Family 261 Daniel was active from the first. Thp record begins at the end of 1825, and in the following year he took his first minute of unity in the Henrietta meeting, 12 mo. 29, 1826. He requested a certificate o/ unity for a religious visit in southern and western states 5 mo. 28, 1830, and a com- mittee was appointed to confer with him as to his tem- poral concerns. They reported next month they believed his affairs were agreeably adjusted, and the certificate was granted. Daniel took also a certificate of unity tO the Westbury and Purchase Quarterly Meetings. He requested a similar certificate 2 mo. 26, 1836, "to pay a religious visit to the inhabitants of Great Britain, Ireland and some parts of the continent of Europe, more particularly Holland and Norway." The committee reported the following month, that "owing to some embarrassment occasioned by his being security for others, which is not fully settled, they have not seen the way clear to prepare a certificate for him." Daniel took such a certificate to the same parts however, with the great unity of the Meeting, 2 mo. 24, 1837. He took a certificate of unity to visit the families of Rochester Monthly Meeting, 3 mo. 24, 1837, and in December of the same year took a certificate to visit the Junius Monthly Meeting, which had been set off in 1815 in Ontario and Seneca counties, from the Farmington Monthly Meeting, which had itself been set off in Ontario county from Sara- toga in 1803. The Rochester Monthly Meeting, Monroe county, was set off from Farmington in 1825. In 1849, Daniel Quinby, (continues Mr. Cocks) having taken a certificate of unity to the Ph^adelphia and New York Yearly Meetings, returns it by writing, 6 mo. 22, 1849, that he had been "taken with indisposition of body," so that he could not attend all the meetings he had felt a "concern" to visit; and concludes his letter, "from your tribulated brother, Daniel Quinby, Mendon." Although he was too indisposed to attend Monthly Meetings at this date, he asks and receives a certificate of unity to visit meetings within Shrewsbury, Purchase, Nine Partners and Stamford Quarterly Meetings, which constituted nearly one-half the meetings included in the New York Monthly Meeting. The U. S. census of 1850 mentions Daniel as aged 73 and Deborah, aged 78. She died 6 mo. 19, 1851. Rev. Daniel Quinby's life is described as follows: "I well remember hearing my mother speak of 'uncle' Daniel Quinby. He was a 'very good old man,' who trav- elled quite extensively in the ministry, especially in the 262 The Quinbt Family eastern states. His first wife — by which Mr. Cocks means Deborah Powell — was a very self-sacrificing woman, who , was accustomed to stay uncomplainingly at home when he had what was called a 'concern' to travel. She was a caretaker who nursed the babies, fed the chickens and did all the necessary work of the home. When Daniel came in cold and wet from his long rides in the ministry, his wife would have him come right in to a cheerful hearth and a hot supper, while she unharnessed the horse. In fact she babied him; and they entertained a good deal of company. "But his last wife wouldn't do any of those things; she wouldn't wait on him, nor have any company. She was a New York woman who ma,de life miserable for him, so that the old man went down in sorrow to his grave, for she deserted him. The cause seems to be that she had money earned by herself in running a bakery in the city; one of Daniel's son's who found out about it attempted to borrow her hard earned savings. From that moment, so the legend runs, she said 'I hated Daniel Quinby.' " This lady was the Sarah Billings who brought to the Henrietta Monthly Meeting a certificate from New York 5m. 28, 1852, and she and Daniel Quinby were married between 6 mo. 25, and 7 mo. 23, 1852; a church committee was appointed to see to her children's rights. The bakery story and the desertion receive no special confirmation in the New York city directories, for she doesn't appear there till 1862, four years after her husband's death, when she was named as "Sarah, widow of Daniel, h. 183 W. 32nd street;" the following year her name is given as Sara, B. In 1867 her address was 307 W. 32nd street. Daniel « Quinby died 27 Dec. 1858 at Mendon, N. Y. His descendants mention his wife Deborah Powell as their ancestress. Children: I. Mart' Quinby, born before October, 1807, for Bathsheba Quinby her grandmother in her will dated then, mentions her son Daniel's daughter Mary. Mary lived at Henrietta; married Elihu May, and died at Henrietta 28 Mar. 1875; Elihu died in 1882; 576. II. Elijah P. ' Quinby, born 12 mo. 6, 1809 (see) ; III. Naomi' Quinby, born 4 mo. 9, 1811, at Henrietta, removed 3 mo. 28, 1845, say the Friends' records "married a Crocker and was living some years ago at Sterling, 111.;" 577. IV. Henry' Quinby, born 8 mo. 28, 1815 (see); 578. V. JosiAH' Quinby, living at Cuba, N. Y., in 1906; VI. Hannah' Quinby, married Solomon, son of 'Acors' The QuiNBT Family 263 and Sarah Rathburn of Verona, Oneida county, N.

He ap- pears m the New York city directories first in 1815, as a merchant at 11 Bowery, the following year at 5 Pelham street. In 1817 and 1818 he was at 83 Cherry street, and in 1819 at 103 Bayard street. In 1820 to 1823 his place of business was at 229 Front street and in 1824 at 27 Peck Slip. During these years he was called "merchant," and as stated by his granddaughter, was in the dry goods busi- ness; 1824 was probably the year he was burned out, for the following year the directory gives his occupation as baker, and his place of business as 12 Dover street; his residence is given that year as 99 Bayard street, the same since 1820. He does not appear in the New York city directory after 1825, and in that year removed to Henri- etta, N. Y. Possibly he was a partner in the firm of "Quinby & Wood, merchants," whose place of business in New York city in 1816 and 1817 was 207 Front street and in 1818 at 198 Front street. He was received at the Henrietta (N. Y.) Monthly Meeting by certificate (presumably from West- chester) 30, 6 mo. 1825; and again appears on the Henrietta M. M. record as received from New York 6 mo. 23, 1826. By request he was granted the right to remove from West- chester to Rochester 5 mo. 3, 1826. (Hicksite records). He married Mary, daughter of Richard and Mary — (daugh- ter of Caleb Pell and Hannah ° Quinby (Aaron*, Josiah^, John^, William^) — (Pell) Hunt, who came to Henrietta M. M, with a certificate from de Ruyter M. M., 2 mo. 22, 1826. Elijah acknowledged his marriage outside the Friends society (probably some considerable time before); the mat- ter was referred to the New York Monthly Meeting, Mr. Quinby was re-instated and was apparently transferred to Purchase, Westchester county, 8 mo. 8, 1822. His removal is shown on the register of Rochester Monthly Meeting, Monroe county, Henrietta P. M. (Hicksite) as 8 mo. 26, 1828. Elijah Pell Quinby removed 3 mo. 28, 1828, from Hen- rietta to Junius Monthly Meeting, which then included Ontario and Seneca counties, N. Y. They lived at Water- 264 The Quinbt Family loo, Seneca county. He was clerk of Junius M. M. around 1850-2. He "died 1856 aged 65." "My grandfather, Elijah Pell Quinby, was a dry goods merchant in New York," says Mrs. Mary H.' Wood (Walter^), "was burned out and through the advice of his brother-in-law Richard Hunt, who was then in the woolen business at Waterloo, N. Y., he moved there and opened a general store which he ran till his death. He died in 1854, aged I think, 64; my grandmother died in 1855, about 62 years old." Chil- dren: I. Eliza' Quinby, born 4 mo. 5, 1813; married at Waterloo 11 mo. 27, 1832, Samuel', son of Joseph* and Dorothy (Farwell) Cox; they went from Men- don, N. Y. to Jackson, Michigan, about 1865; to Juanita, Nebraska, 1874; they had two chil- dren, Elijah Q., and Mary Eliza; II. Maky Ann' Quinby married Joel Lundy, and had one daughter Josephine who married John L. Webster of Waterloo, N. Y.; their son Frank S. lived at Lawrence, Kan.; III. Harriet' Q.uinby, died young; IV.

After Mr. Mackey's death she moved to Lawrence, Kan., where she married second, Warren; he died and she married third, Charles D. French. After his death she married fourth, Hornsby, who survived her; she died about 1909; 579. VII. Richard' Quinby; he lived in New Jersey and died there about 1888, unmarried; VIII.

William* (Josiah*, Moses*, Josiah*, John^, Will' iam^) born 6 mo. 29, 1766, at Northcastle (Chappaqua) Westchester county, New York; descendants say "at Quaker Hill, Dutchess county," but the probabilities are against it. The Friends' records at Quaker Hill mention him as about to remove, clear, from Chappaqua 4 mo. 10, 1789, and his marriage intention to Phoebe Howland was pub- lished 4 mo. 12 and 5 mo. 17, 1790, and it was reported accordingly 6 mo. 14, 1790. The marriage took place 5 mo. 26, 1790, at Oblong, Dutchess county. She was born 1 mo. 9, 1773, and was daughter of Prince and Deborah (Slocum) Howland. According to a descendant, Miss Mary Wilhelmina* Quinby, "the Rowlands came from Rhode Island; and some of Phoebe's ancestors were Fitzgeralds of Ireland." The Old Northwest Quarterly (III. 83, 123) says that she was of Pawling, Dutchess county; the Quaker records at Oblong give William's residence at Northcastle, Phoebe's as Pawling. The United States census of 1790 shows William and wife at Pawling, living with a family consisting besides themselves, of anpther male over 16 years old and two other females. William and his wife remained at Quaker Hill ten years; the Friends' minutes show him, his wife, and chil- dren Isaiah, Harilaah and John about to remove to Chap- 270 The Quinby Family paqua 4 mo. 17, 1809. He requested and received a re- moval certificate for his two sons Josiah and Azariah, minors, to Chappaqua, 4 mo. 16, 1810. Isaiah and Azariah removed clear from Chappaqua to Oblong 8 mo. 14, 1818; Isaiah and Azariah removed clear to Chappaqua 9 mo. 17, 1821. Among the Hicksites at Chappaqua in 1828 were William and Phoebe Quinby, also Eliza, and Moses and Thomas, minors. The Friends' records and gravestone at Chappaqua say that William died 2 mo. 18, 1841, aged 74y. 7m. 20d. Phoebe his widow died at Newcastle 4 mo. 17, 1859, aged 85y. 7m. They had the following children: 592. I. JosiAH Rowland ' Quinby, born 1 mo. 16, 1791 593. II. Isaiah 'h.' Qtjinby, born 5 mo. 12, 1792 (see); 594. III.

Mr. Hunt was born 5 mo. 3, 1818; died 1 mo. 1, 1847. She married second, 8 mo. 16, 1858, at her own home, Leonard K., son of Benjamin K. and Sarah Weeks. Mary M. died 11 mo. 20, 1902, aged 84 (grave- stone at Chappaqua). 238. Moses I. • (Isaiah^, Moses*, Josiah^, John^, William^) born 6 mo. 19, 1794, at Northcastle, Westchester county, N. Y. He married there, 10 mo. 19, 1814, Esther" Field (Josiah^, Uriah^, Robert '', Benjamin^, Anthony^, Rob- ert*, James ^, Matthew^, John^; see p. 126) of Greenwich, Conn. They took a clearance certificate from the Chap- paqua Friends' meeting 6 mo. 1816, to remove to New York city. The directories of New York city show Moses I. as being in the drygoods busiritess first in 1817 at 394 Pearl street at the address where his nephew Josiah H. ^ ■i ^H ^ ^m ^H J 'S w KB --I, ^^B ^"^^ ll \ '' \ ^1^^^ ^■^ Haxnaht, Mary M." (Quinbt) Weeks, photo, by Sherwood, Sing Sing), daughters of 237Williami' ami Phoebe (Ilowland) Qiiinby. (see p. 270). Thk Quinbt Family 271 had opened the business the year previous. It would seem he had bought his nephew out, and that the latter had begun again a block or two away (296 Pearl street). The rivalry seems to have continued, for Josiah H. moved to 398 Pearl street the following year only two doors away from Moses I., and remained there to about 1826. Moses I. remained at 394 Pearl street to 1822. Possibly they were in business together, anid kept two different numbers on the same store. Moses I. lived at 22 Oak street in 1818 and 1819; in 1820 and 1821 at 22 Mulberry; in 1822 at 363 Pearl. Moses' name disappears from the directory after 1822, but in 1823 "Quinby & Kipp, grocers, 195 Bowery" occurs, which may refer to him; the firm name does not appear again. Moses, his wife and minor children moved to Chap- paqua 5 mo. 31, 1826, says the record; and they are later recorded with the Friends' meeting there, as appears from the list of the Hicksite Quakers of the Chappaqua Monthly Meeting at the separation between those of Unitarian faith and the orthodox; the list includes Moses I. Quinby of the Northcastle Preparative Meeting, and minors Walter, George and Aaron. The Hicksites granted a certificate from Chappaqua 11 mo. 1832, to Moses I., wife and the children just referred to, and another record shows that they had already returned to New York city 7 mo. 12, 1832. He reappeared in that year's directory, as a grocer, at 1 Morton street, corner of Bleecker; (from 1836, at 262 Bleecker, near Morton and Jones streets) and there con- tinued through 1838; in 1839, 1840 and 1841 he was at 31 Jones street, which is the last mention of his name. In 1845, 1846 and 1847 appears Esther F., widow of Moses I., 160 Eldridge street, and 1848 at 40 Rivington street in which year her son George W. lived at the same address. Moses I. Quinby died at New York city of diabetes 4 mo. 6, 1843; his widow Esther died there 1 mo. 21, 1852 (1 mo. 19, says the Hicksite record). The only children of his appearing with dates of birth on the Friends' records are: 598. I. Walter U. ' Quinby, born 10 mo. 28 (or 29) 1817, (see) ; 11. Richard F. ' Quinby, born 2 mo. 17, 1820; the Friends' records say: "a child of M. Qumby, Westchester county, died 1822;" Dodge's list says "child of Moses died 5 mo. 3, 1834;" it is evident that the birth of at least one child of Moses was not recorded; 599. III. George W. ' Quinby, born 9 mo. 27, 1822 (see); 272 The Quinby Family 600. IV. Aabon J.' Quinby, born 1828 (see); V. Mary Jane' Quinby, born 7 mo. 14, 1837; married 11 mo. 5, 1857, Isaac W. Rushmore; the census of 1850 names one Mary J. (or I.) Quinby, aged 13, as at boarding school at Flushing, L. I. Note. — Other records mention sons James and Josiah F.; the latter, if he is not the JosiaJi^, son of Walter U. ', is mentioned in the New York city directory for 1862 as "Josiah Field Quinby, agent, 5 Abbatoir pi.; h., Waver- ley." The next and only other mention is in 1864, "Josiah Quimby, chandler; h. 320 W. 43d st." This is probably the son of Walter U.' Note. — Bolton's History of Westchester, (opp. p. 706) makes the above Moses father of "Will" who married Catherine Wilcox — an error for Walter U. 239. Isaiah* (Isaiah^, Moses*, Josiah', John^, Will- iam^) born 11 Sept. 1795 at Northcastle, Westchester coun- ty, N. Y. His marriage intention was set forth on the record as announced 11 mo. 9, and 12 mo. 7, 1825. The marriage took place 12 mo. 14, 1825, at Purchase, West- chester county, and was reported accordingly, 1 mo. 1826; the bride was Mary, daughter of John I. and Sarah (Field) Griffin; she took a removal certificate to Chappaqua 11 mo. 8, 1826. She was born at Newcastle 12 mo. 2, 1804, and died 4 mo. 20, 1872, aged 67y. 4m. 18d. at Northcastle. John J. and Eliza were named as minors, of the Hicksite Monthly Meeting at Chappaqua, Northcastle P. M., in 1828. Their names are followed by Aaron and Ann, also minors. The Hicksite records mention "Mrs. Mary Quin- by from Chappaqua 3 mo. 1851; John J. from Chappaqua 8 mo. 1851; Eliza F., daughter, from Chappaqua, 3 mo. 1851; all to Chappaqua 4 mo. 1859;" and again: "Mary Quinby having removed to settle with her husband Isaiah, with her dau. Eliza, from Chappaqua 1 mo. 9, 1851." Mary and Eliza returned to Chappaqua 6 mo. 4, 1859. Isaiah * Quinby died 9 mo. 20 (1, says Dodge) 1853 at Brooklyn, N. Y. Children: 601.. I. John Jay' Quinby, born 28 Feb. 1827 (see); II. Eliza F. ' Quinby, born 11 mo. 20, 1824; married 2 mo. 20, 1861, at John Jay' Quinby's house 2 mo. 20, 1861, Edward S.» Quinby (Caleb ', Josiah », Samuel', Moses*, Josiah', John*, William^); they lived at Armonk, near Chappaqua, Westchester county, N. Y. (mentioned in Bolton's Westchester, p. 730). The copy of the Quakeir records fur- nished me by Mr. Cox contains this inexplicable entry: "Eliza F. Quinby, daughter of Isaiah and Mary, born 10 mo. 20, 1814, at Northcastle, died 10 mo. 4, 1842, aged about 38, at Newcastle; husband, Joseph Dodge." Note. — The Quaker records for New York state and vicinity are under the control of John Cox, Jr., Esq., of New York city, who charges a very substantial fee for searching and copying; perhaps the records are frequently erroneous, for I have found on one page of his copies as many as six unexpected diver- gences from family records.

From a letter dated Abingdon, Knox county. 111., 9 Feb. 1841, from Jesse B. Quinby, Jr., to his uncle Jesse B., it appears that Ezra S. and his family removed to that place from Ohio in October, 1841, leaving Ohio the 4th and reaching Abingdon the 24th of that month. He had entered 120 acres of prairie and 40 acres of timberland, about 1| miles from Abinjgdon. It tells of a trip young Jesse made to St. Louis to get a situation in a store, and gives a lengthy description of the country around Abing- don. This letter is in the possession of Upshur B. Quinby. Ezra S. ' Quinby was married second, by Rev. Wm. Wilson at Carthage, 111., 6 Sept. 1857, to Mrs. Nancy (Moody) Renshaw, born 1 Sept. 1805, died 23 Feb. 1874, Carthage, 111. (rec.)

Note. — Newton' Quinby is given in other family records as a son of Ezra S. '. The marriages of the daughters are recorded at Galesburg, Knox county, Illinois. Note. — Ezra S.'s family seem to have been the only settlers by the name in Han- cock coimty, Illinois, of which Carthage is the county seat. Yet these two items I cannot identify with his descendants or relatives: (a) Samuel Quinby was married by Rev. James Bentley in Hancock county to Ann Wilson 25 Feb. 1848; (b) Mary D. Quinby was married by Rev. G. S. Schaffer, in Hancock county to John S. Strimble, 31 Jan. 1901. This is from the records of Knox county, of which Galesburg is county seat: Walker L. Quinby married to Blanche Kelley 4 Deo. 1906 by Biv. G. W. Frizzelle. 243. Aaron Balderston* {Aaron ^, Isaiah*, Josiah*, John^, William^) born 19 Aug. 1795, Lancaster county, Pa. Evidently he tried New York city for a time, for the directories for 1825 and 1826 give A. B. Quinby, teacher, 90 Chambers street; the name does not appear in any other years. The U. S. records show that as a resident of Hager- stown, Md., he took out a patent for a device to prevent the explosion of steamboat boilers, 1830, and apparently broadened the patent to include all steam boilers 8 Jan. 1830. He married 30 April, 1839, at Baltimore, Maryland, Elizabeth Ann Upshur Teackle, only child of Littleton Dennis and Elizabeth (Upshur) Teackle. Aaron B. * com- menced teaching at Sudlersville the day after New Year's day, 1853. He lived prior to that at York, Pa. After his death his widow and son moved in 1856 to Accomac county, Virginia. Aaron B. ^ died 29 April, 1853, at 6 P. M., at Sudlersville, Queen Ann county, Md. His wife Elizabeth Ann was born 4 Feb. 1801, died 10 Mar. 1875.

(H. A. Q.) He removed from Cecil county, Maryland, in Novem- ber, 1825, and settled on the Little Miami, 45 miles from Cincinnati. He married second in 1859, Mrs. Charlotte (Snook) Morris, born 1825, in Warren county, Ohio. This marriage was afterward legally dissolved. Isaiah died 2 mo. 6, 1873, near Harleyville, Page county, Ohio (14 Jan. 1873, says H. H. Q.). He had one child by Charlotte, Harris H.

Quinby, Esq. LIFE OF 244isaiah' quinby (For this charming family record hundreds of descendants of this line will forever appreciate the sympathetic and graphic words of Miss Hannah Sophia^ Quinby). Isaiah • Quinby married Elizabeth Moore, born 2 mo. 13, 1800, daughter of Elijah and Sarah (Hollingsworth) Moore of Half Moon valley (of Juniata river) in eastern Pennsylvania. Three or four" years later, they started with their second child, Aaron Balderston Quinby, one year old (their first a daughter, Sarah, having died an infant), to go with team and some household goods to the western part of Virginia (now West Virginia) to a tract of land given them by his father if they would settle on it and make it their home. The way became more rugged as they approached their destination, and finding that the land was too rough to be made into a farm, they turned about. Elizabeth's two sisters, Ann Moore and Sophia ThomjDson having gone to western Ohio with other emigrants, they concluded to follow. They drove to Pittsburgh, and there traded their team for a flat boat and storing their effects on it, they with their baby and the dog Bose, em- barked on a more adventurous journey down the Ohio. They drifted with the current of the winding river, tying up their little craft at nightfall, and preparing their supper on shore. Their sleep under the stars on bed spread on heaped up leaves, the foot to the burning logs, and with their watchful dog at the head, was both restful and safe. One night the dog sprang up and chased some large prowling animal, which they thought to be a panther, into the woods. Isaiah with rifle in hand, fol- lowed some distance, but thought best to return to camp and his wife who had by this time grown fearful that he had been killed, or that he was lost in the forest. After a longer time the dog returned unhurt, but they entered the boat and pushed out the length of the chain from shore, to spend the rest of the night. At another time they were in great danger of being capsized on rocks toward which the current was fast carrying them, but being warned by a man on shore, who, by loud calling and violent ges- tures, made them understand to get quickly to the other side, he seized the oars and rowed for life, barely escaping a great calamity. These two adventures were the only really perilous ones of this voyage. Their children, in after years, listened with intense in- terest to many incidents of their journey, which at last ended at Cincinnati, where they disembarked and sold their little craft, and hired transportation by wagon to Waynesville, some twenty-five miles from the city, where some of the Lukenses and other friends of the family had already located. She was very deft with the needle, making bonnets for the Friends of the community, on both broadcloth and silk, and her work on the plain bonnets, and the The Quinbt Family 277 stitching on collars and lapels, and the working of buttonholes in the well pressed men's suits was said to be very superior. Saving what they already had, and both earning some to add to it, they soon bought twenty-eight acres and moved to this place in the next county (Clinton) near Chester Monthly Meeting, five or six miles north of Wilmington, where round about were a number of Friends, constituting Center Quarterly Meeting, which was tributary to Richmond, Indiana, Yearly Meeting. Here they lived, where several of their children were born, and until their older boys were able to help with the work when they sold out and bought 117 acres five miles west of Wilmington, near Lytle's Creek Monthly Meeting and began tilling the land already avail- able, and clearing up two "deadenings" of several acres each, by rolling and burning the logs. The fine large trees of oak, poplar, ash and walnut were left standing, or were cut and sawn, and the lumber seasoned and stored for a new house which was built in 1850. Before this, in 1837 or perhaps later, his father Aajon had ridden on horseback from eastern Pennsylvania (Lancaster county) to western Ohio (Clinton county) at the age of over 80 years, re- turning in the same manner, to visit his sons, Ezra and Isaiah and now his son Isaiah fifty years old, returned this visit in the same way. He had a fine mare for sale, and as many horses from the west were taken up the Ohio and on to the eastern markets, mounted his steed, made the journey overland, visited among his relatives .and sold her, returning by public conveyance, bringing home the price in gold, which all the children were allowed to handle and count. Like his father he, too, in his advanced years wanted his own fast walking saddle horse. In the later '40's the threte older sons Aaron, Thomas and Ezra, beside helping on the farm, had their trades of millwrighting and carpentering, and the two oldier daughters, Josephine and Miriam were teaching and spending their vacations at home, spinning, weaving and making garments for the household. The boys here named, except the oldest, who had married and gonJB from home, now in 1850, with the help of hired work- men, and the lad Isaiah, built the new house, which, being sub- stantially constructed of heavy native hardwoods, and kept well painted, still stands, (1911) in good condition. This was a con- tinuous job, keeping all hands busy from early spring until Christ- mas. Mercy the next daughter, rather than teach, chose to re- main at home helping her motHer, and had only a common school education. Isaiah, the next son that grew up, worked on the farm, learned carpentering, also taught and practiced law. He after- ward represented his county in the General Assembly, and still later, was pension commissioner under Harrison and Cleveland. Here were born the two youngest of the eleven children of this mother, also another son of the second wife. These three, Han- nah aged now, 1911, nearly 70, living at Lawrence, Kansas, a teacher in schools in Ohio and Iowa for 33 years. Jesse C, aged 67, soldier in the Civil War, volunteering when barely old enough to pass muster and now at Kansas City, Mo., in the real estate business, and Harris, the youngetet, about 50, machinist and builder at South Omaha, Nebraska, and Miriam Eliza, over 80, living with her youngest son, Louis Wasson, at Geyserville, California, 278 The Quinby Pamilt npw March, 1911, the only living children of this large family of 12. Once their father Isaiah, the subject of this sketch, drove with team, with, his two oldest daughters, to place them in the Friends' boarding school, now Earlham college, at Richmond, Indiana; the older one having already been in the institution as pupil, and who afterward became one of the faculty. They wore the garb of the Society, and their fresh young faces were sweet, looking out from their white plain bonnets. Later, he placed the two younger children, Hannah and Jesse C, in the more re- cently established normal school, later the National Normal school at Lebanon, Ohio, much nearer home, driving the distance with provisions and necessary furniture, the outfit for' self-boarding, going again with provisions and to see how they were getting along, and here, from this institution, the daughter, afterward (in 1868) graduated, as did also, 26 years later, a granddaughter, Anna Quinby who is now a lawyer in Columbus, Ohio, doing much for the W. C. T. U., having been state organizer, etc. of this body of women. The first child going out was Aaron, the oldest, who emigrated with his wife's family to southwestern Iowa. In time two other children followed, and in the late summer of 1856 he in a strong spring wagon and with an extra large and strong horse, in company with his brother-in-law David Thompson and the latter's wife, with their own team, set out from the old place and traveled overland to visit these three children and probably, with the intention, if favorably impressed with the country, of follow- ing them later. They made the long journey safely, and Isaiah traded his horse and wagon for 80 acres of rich prairie bottom land in Page county. Isaiah's visit over, he returned by private conveyance to the nearest railroad point, across the state to the Mississippi, and thence by rail, stopping over at Abingdon, 111., to visit his brother Ezra, who, with all his family had emigrated from Clinton county, Ohio, some time in the '40's. On his return the whole situation was discussed pro and con, but they decided to remain where they were. Two years later his wife Elizabeth died, 23 Dec. 1858, at the age of 58 years, and was buried on Christmas day in Lytle's Creek graveyard; as was, years before, their infant son Elijah, and also their daughter Josephine (Quinby) Washburn, wife of Rufus Washburn, she dying six months after her mother 23 July, 1859, aged 32, leaving an only child, a little daughter, Josephine, 4 months old, who became a teacher, married Alvin Guild and now, 1911, lives in Boston, Mass., and has a large family. In 1866, Isaiah removed to Page county, Iowa, where were then six childiren, where he farmed a little on his land there, and where he died in February, 1875, of pneumonia, in the 75 year of his age, and was buried in Hawleyville cemetery. Up to his last short illness, he was still hale and well-preserved. The old farm in Ohio was for some years rented to strangers, and at last, about 1881, was sold out of the family. This couple lived in the time of the transition from homespun, home-woven, home-made cloth- ing, blankets and table and bed-linen, tediously manufactured from home-grown wool and flax, to fabrics and ready made goods ob- tained at dry goods stores; from the scythe, sickle, cradle and flail, to the horse-power mower, reaper and thresher. The chil- dren were rocked in a home-made woodfen cradle, and grew up, The Quinbt Family 279 a healthy self-reliant set, on the farm where there was always plenty and to spare. The boys had a shop, with workbench and a few tools, whepe they could be busy or amuse th^jtnselve^ at odd times. The oldest when a lad of 10, very neatly restocked a rifle which he kept and occasionally used when an old man. They brought up their children to be industrious, and all, both boys and girls, placed their earnings in the general family fund until twenty-one years old. From before Christmas until spring, as was judicious, Isaiah drove forty-five or fifty miles, to Cincinnati market with dressed poultry, butter and eggs that the farm and the country about produced, and at the last trips with a barrel, or two of maple molasses or maple sugar, home cured meat, apples, etc., bringing home groceries and supplies to last, with little additions from the stores near home, until marketing time the next winter. Especi- ally at this last coming home there were usually some covejted articles that were then considered as luxuries and were handed out as favors to each of the group of eager children. With all the humdrum of the farm and home, they believed in educating their children, and to that end gave them the best opportunities they could afford, all of which were by them embraced and ap- preciated. Note. — Hannah Sophia' Quinby, the author of the foregoing skejich, attended school in the country schoolhouse near Ogden, Clinton county, Ohio, and afterward at Clarksville. She began to teach school at the age of sixteen. She afterward attended the State normal school at Lebanon, Ohio, and graduated with high honor. She taught school from that time until she was over fifty years old, principally in Ohio; in 1889 she went further west to Bedford, Taylor county, Iowa, where she taught in the high school, also at Lenox, Iowa. She gave up teaching and lived upon her forty-acre fruit farm near Bedford, Iowa. She was never married, but generally had one or two orphan nieces living with her. "Her home is now (1911) in Lawrence, Kansas, 613 R. I. street, where she owns some property; but on account of the sickness of her niece, Mrs. G. L. Brown, she has spent most of her time for over a year, at Colorado Springs, Col." She died in September, 1915. 245.

(Brittin) Quinbt, wife of Josiahti Quiuby (photoyraiih loaned by Mrs. Jackson) Anna B.^ Quinbt, (photograph loaned by Mrs. Jackson) Daughters of 254Josiah Quinby. She evidently remembers the above Joseph ^ for after saying: "I have a dim recollection of hearing my mother mention a cousin Henry Quinby, but it is so faint I cannot get hold of it," she describes her meeting with his brother Joseph fully and vividly, as follows: "One night when I was a child, Mr. Quinby, a cousin of my mother's, and his wife passed the night at our house, perhaps longer. They were from Fryeburg, had emigrated to Minimachi, became disgusted, and were on their way back to Fryeburg. It was impressed on my memory be- cause he ate so many apples — said he had not had one before, since he left F. His wife was a brisk little woman and told of their discomforts and hardships at Minimachi. I was told that he died not long after, of consumption. His wife's maiden name was Page." L. B. Chapman wrote me in 1894: "Henry and his brother Joseph were house carpenters in Brunswick, Me., in 1802; a year later Henry went into trade. They, bought land and a mill, but could not pay, and the sheriff inter- posed with an execution. There was a Frederick also at Brunswick." Joseph ' Quinby is shown on the Cumberland county records thus: 2 Apr. 1811 (vol. 61, p. 363): Joseph Quinby of Brunswick, Me., housewright; consideration, $50, paid by Levi Quinby of Portland, sold one-sixth part of a certain mill privilege at a place called Little Folly, on the south and west side of Androscoggin river in the town of Brunswick, being part of same I purchased of Amos Lunt, "from which the yarn factory at Brunswick receives its water;" 1811 (vol. 63, p. 399) consideration, $500, same from same, conveys privileges; 1812 still in Brunswick; 1814: Joseph Quinby's interest in the mill at Brunswick taken on execution, or so much as amounted to $350; 1815, Dec. (vol. 91, p. 335) consideration, $154; Amos Lunt of Brunswick to Martha C. Quinby of Brunswick, wife of Joseph Quinby of Brunswick, a certain lot of land in Brunswick; 1821, Nov. 3 (vol. 91, p. 406), "We Joseph Quinby, joiner and Martha C. Quinby wife of Joseph Quin- by, both of Fryeburg in the county of Oxford, state of Maine," to Samuel A. Brady (or Bradley) Esq., of Frye- burg, the foregoing described Lunt's house at Brunswick alluded to as "Folly Mill," etc. This is the end of Joseph Quinby in these records. In 1823, Feb. 12, Joseph and wife Martha C. were still at Fryeburg. In 1836, Sept. 23 (vol. 186, p. 222), a deed was made by Martha C. Quinby of Fryeburg of this same 286 The Quinbt Pamelt property. In 1844, 24 Jan., Martha C. Quinby is men- tioned, the last of her on these records. Amos was son of James Lunt, says Smith's and Deane's Journals, p. 357. 325. Moses' (John^, Joseph^, Joseph*, Robert*, Rob- ert^) born 19 April, 1786, at Stroud water, now a part of Portland, Maine (see portrait). He fitted for college at Phillips Exeter Academy and graduated there in the class of 1799. He then entered Bowdoin College and was one of the first class to graduate, seven in number. The commencement at Bowdoin College took place 3 Sept. 1806, and Moses took part in the graduating exer- cises, delivering number seven on the program, "A Dis- quisition on the Solar System"! Thereafter he entered assiduously upon a course of legal study with Mr. Stephen Longfellow, in the office in the ancient brick Longfellow mansion still standing at Port- land. Several musty old lawbooks inscribed by the poet's father to young Moses Quinby are still preserved. Hon. Henry B. ^ Quinby, a grandson, has a copy of "American Precedents of Declarations," published in 1802, inscribed in the donor's handwriting, "Stephen Longfellow's present to M. Quinby." In due course he became a mem- ber of the Cumberland County Bar, but practised only a few years. The first or nearly the first case the young attorney had is described by Mr. Chapman as follows: "Archilaus Lewis owned a lot at Long Creek, or vicinity, which he used for a pasture. It is traditional that Josiah Maxfield lived with Lewis and on one occasion when young Josiah went over with the cows, an Indian camping there named Nicholas, somewhat under the influence of drink, caught the boy and threatened to kill him. Josiah thinking it no harm to punish an Indian, particularly one that had threatened to take the life of another, got a gun and using a spike for a bullet, secreted himself behind the fence and when the Indian made his appearance he fired. The sequel was, young Josiah was arrested, and carried before Justice Lewis. Young Moses Quinby, of the first graduating class of Bowdoin, appeared for Josiah, who was fined $1 and discharged." Moses appears with his wife in the census of 1810. Their family also included a boy under ten, as well as another male and female between 16 and 26 years of age, no doubt servants. Moses' was assessed for taxes in 1814 as follows: house, and lot, $900; barn, $550; office, $20; cow and swine. The Quinbt Family 287 Moses Quinby was the most prominent man in Stroud- water and vicinity and as Justice of the Peace he became known as "Squire Moses;" his great house, built over a hundred years ago, was the scene of much of historical in- terest; it is still the depository of many documents and contains many interesting portraits and other articles. Several pictures are given herein. The First Universalist Church Society of Westbroojc, Me., was organized 31 July, 1829, under a warrant issued by Moses Quinby, the request being signed by fifty resi- dents. Mr. Quinby was a Universalist, and all his family were liberal in their religious views; most of them became Unitarians. Mr. Quinby was elected a member of the first Board of Trustees of Westbrook Seminary in 1830. He sued one Buzzell in 1838 as indorsee of a note dated 6 June, 1831; the case was won by him in the Court of Common Pleas; the defendant appealed to the Supreme Court and Mr. Quinby was again successful (Quinby v. Buzzell, 16 Me. Rep., 470). A grandson, Hon. Andrew Hawes of Stroudwater, says: "Moses Quinby was a man of marked character. He was a tall handsome man in his youth, and remarkably fine looking in his later years; a fine scholar, excelling in mathematics, a great reader and brilliant conversationalist. Though one of the most kind hearted of men, he was said to have been of such a fiery temper in his youth that it interfered with his practice at the bar. In religious belief he was a Universalist. His father John, and grandfather Joseph, were orthodox Puritans. He was first a Federalist, afterwards a Whig and a pioneer Abolitionist — always ready to lend a hand on the 'Underground Railroad.' He was also one of the pioneers with Neal Dow and others in the Prohibition movement. For many years he was the local 'squire,' settling estates, titles, making wills, deeds, surveys, and trying cases as Justice. I remember hearing him say that he never had a decision reversed on appeal to the higher court." Moses' Quinby was married 21 Dec. 1809, by Rev. Caleb Bradley, to Anne«, daughter of Andrew" and Mary* (Dole) Titcomb. (A full account of her ancestry appears in New England Family History, p. 198-9) (IV. Me. H. & G. Record, copied from Rev. Caleb Bradley's diary: "fee, $10," says the parson; the usual fee was $2). She was born 17 June, 1789.

Levi Quinby and Robert Strong of Portland, mer- chants, were sued on an account of $177.17 in 1813, by Abraham Durgin of Limerick, Me., and were defeated in a jury trial; the judgment (for $203.74) was appealed from, but the appeal was dismissed for failure of either party to appear (York county records). Levi was an assessor of the town of Portland. The Bangor registry of deeds gives a deed by Levi Quinby and Rebecca Strong of Portland Autograph of Levi' Quinby. (19) 290 The Quinby FAMHiT and Moses Quinby of Westbrook, 29 June, 1820, to Joseph Treat of Bangor. Levi's house in Portland was on the westerly side of Elm St. He died of consumption 27 Aug. 1828. His wife Mary was born 19 Aug. 1791, and died 23 Apr. 1874. Their gravestones in the Evergreen cemetery bear respec- tively the figures: "1788-1826;" "1791-1874." They had the following children born at Portland: I. Maria' Quinby, born 11 Jan. 1815; a sampler worked by her, bearing the embroidered words: "Maria Quinby se 11, 1825" was in the possession of Miss Almira F.' Quinby at Stroudwater; and an interesting hair bracelet with a gold clasp bear- ing her name is in my possession; she never mar- ried, and the census of 1860 gives her as living at Portland with her mother and brother Fred- erick A. Quinby; she died 21 Aug. 1883; II. Mary Titcomb' Quinby, born 12 Feb. 1817; died at Stroudwater 17 Aug. 1828; III. Robert Strong' Quinby, born 16 June, 1819, named for a sea captain friend of the family and business associate of Levi; he died 13 Dec. 1821, aged 2y. 6m.; gravestone in Evergreen cemetery; 786. IV. Frederick Augustus' Quinby, born 27 Dec. 1821 (see) ; V. Elizabeth Harris' Quinby, born 6 Apr. 1824, died 30 Oct. 1841, of quick consumption, "brought on by going with a party to the light house; got heated and sat on the rocks, which threw her into quick consumption;" 787. VI. Robert Strong' Quinby, born 5 July, 1826; "died (without issue) in port at New Orleans as is sup- posed, for he disappeared there from the ship on which he was first mate, and was never heard of more; he was a steady temperate man." Mary * Titcomb, the child who made the series of samplers more than a hundred years ago, which are pic- tured here, was the daughter of Andrew ^ and Mary * (Dole) Titcomb and married Levi ' Quinby whose picture is shown here. The homespun cloth on which her childish fingers so diligently embroidered the alphabet was no doubt spun and woven in her own home — perhaps by herself. She was born and lived in the Quinby mansion in Stroudwater, Maine. The first sampler shown which bears the little maiden's name contains this phrase: "Stroudwater September 12th MARY TITCOMB 7 years of age 1800." Its dimen- sions are seven and a half by eight inches. The inscrip- tion just quoted is in dark brown silk, the alphabet and lower border are in light brown and the border at the sides Samplers in the Qtiixby Mansion at Stroudwater, Me. The lower two made bv Mary Titcomb, afterwards wife of 326Levi" Quiuby. (See ])]), 290-1.) The QmNBY Family 291 in green. The second sampler, made by Mary Titcomb at the age of twelve, is homespun of much lighter brown than the others and is an elaborate combination of half a dozen colored silks, now toned to gentler shades than of yore. The third sampler bears no name and may have been the work of some other child in the family. It is thirteen by eighteen inches. The uppermost alphabet and border of top and sides are done in black linen thread; the second alphabet in pink silk; the lower alphabet in light green silk. The verse, in red silk, reads as follows: To Sweet vision of futurity How oft ye cheat the young When first upon life's stormy sea Their untried saris are flung With meteor light ye lead them on To fancied scens of rest. 327. Benjamin Wentworth ' {Jacob *, Benjamin ^ Joseph*, Robert^ Robert^) ("Wentworth Quinby") born 5 Dec. 1768, probably at Salmon Falls, or Somersworth, N. H.; intention of marriage with Eleanor Jellison 20 Aug. 1811, recorded at York, Me. This intention appears to have been carried out, for, apparently his son, 788. Timothy Jellison* Quinby, changed his name by law to Timothy Jellison at York, Me., in 1836. The records at York do not give further information. A search of the York vital records do not show any Jellison descend- ant. A Jellison family at York in 1910, do not answer letters. 328. John ^ (Jacob ^, Benjamin^, Joseph^, Robert^, Robert^) born 5 Mar. 1777, at Somersworth, N. H. He was a manufacturer or fuller of cloth at North Berwick, Me., and his grandson Alonzo^ (Jonathan H.^) says he lived at Lebanon, Me. John ' married 8 Mar. 1804, Han- nah Hanson, born 1783. He died in 1837 and she married, second, Thomas Rogers, and was living in 1872 with her son-in- law Jacob Hall at North Berwick. Children of John Quinby : 789. I. Frederick B.» Quinby, born 1804 (see); II. Mary' Quinby, born 1807; married Eben Moultoh and lived at York, Me.; children: Johnson, Sam- uel, Martha, Daniel, Jeremiah; 790. III. Jonathan Hanson' Quinby, born 1810 (see); IV. Lydia B. ' Quinby, married 1831 Jacob Hall, born 1810, son of her father's cousin John Hall and his wife Lydia (Randall). NoTB. — The foregoing is partly from MSS. of Fred E. Quimby, Esq., City Clerk, Dover, N. H. (1908). 292 The Quinby Family 329. Jacob ^ (Jacob ^, Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert^) born probably 1765-8 and certainly before 1784, at Somersworth, N. H. In 1790, Jacob Quinby was h«ad of a family at Falmouth, now Portland, Me., consisting of a daughter and a son between 10 and 16, and a son under 10. Tn 1814 there was living at Saccarappa (now Westbrook) "Jacob Quinby, Jr." as shown by the assess- ment roll. On account of the fact that Jacob * Sr. did not die till 1805, it is impossible to identify any real estate or probate court records as pertaining to Jacob, Jr. From the fact that no other parentage can be idenjtified for Jacob of Portland, Me., who married Charlotte March, it is probable he was 791. Jacob' Quinby, born 28 Dec. 1799 (see). 330. George W. ^ (Benjamin ', Benjamin ^ Joseph *, Robert', Robert'') born at Somersworth, N. H. 1781, and reinoved to Portland, Me., at an early age. He married as early as 1807, Sarah Waldron, daughter of Joseph and Tamsen (Twombly) Waldron born 13 Mar. 1781, died 26 Dec. 1853, (V. N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register, 205-6). The census record of George W. gives his residence as Falmouth, Cumberland county. Me., in 1810. He was the head of a family which evidently included another family, for (including him and his wife) theire were a male and a female born before 1765; one male born between 1765 and 1784; orie female born between 1784 and 1794; two females born between 1794 and 1800; one male between 1800 and 1810. These census age records are often erroneous. Mrs. Eaton says he was a trader — i. e., retail merchant. He died 14 Aug. 1813, and Mr. Chapman, in the Deering News of 27 Apr. 1905, says: "In the old, worse- than-neglected burying ground above Saccarappa, is a stone that reads: 'George W. Quinby, died 1813, aged 32.' " Sally Quinby, a widow, is on the Westbrook, Me., assessment roll for 1814, "house and lot, $250; barn, $20; store, $40; 7 acres land; 1 cow; 1 swine." Child of George W. ' Quinby: Nancy Ann* Quinby, born 25 Oct. 1807, married by Rev. J. M. Cleary, 12 Dec. 1824, to Joseph Morrill of Salis- bury and Dover; she died 8 Feb. 1877. 331. Benjamin' (Benjamin^, Benjamin^, Joseph*, Rob- ert', Robert'') born 13 July, 1786, at Somersworth, N. H. He was known as Benjamin, 3rd. He married first, 13 May, 1808, Elizabeth Jones, born 17 Aug. 1787, who died 27 Oct. 1821, aged 34; he married second, 2 Sept. 1822, Sarah Purinton, born 14 July, 1792, who died 2 Aug. 1850, 331BENJAMIN1 QUINBY, From a pencil drawing owned by Mrs. W. D. Eaton. (See p. 292.) The Qtjinbt Family 293 aged 58. Benjamin was called "Square Ben"; he was in the census of 1810 with his wife and one girl under 10 years old. He was on the assessment list of 1814 at Sac- carappa; assessed as follows: one house, $175; barn, $35; shop, $40; 2 acres of mowing; 2 acres of pasturage; 2 cows; 1 horse; swine; stock in trade, $100. He was a sergeant in the company commanded by Joseph Valentine, raised about September, 1814, at Westbrook for service at Port- land in the war of 1812. His cousins 'Benjamin F., Simeon and Charles were also members of the same company. He was a selectman in 1819, 1822-6, 1829-34, 1836. His intention of marriage to Cyrene Hobbs of Bidde- ford was filed there 18 Dec. 1851; and he married her at Portland, 5 Jan. 1852. Benjamin died at Saccarappa, 19 Apr. 1854, aged 68. "Of all the Quinby clan at Saccarappa (now West- brook, Me.), in the old Conant cemetery, there is but one memorial slab; two monuments in the village cemetery, and a row of six slate slabs, one for Benjamin", and one each for Benjamin^, his two wives and his first and third daughters," says L. B. Chapman from whose quotation of these gravestones the dates are taken. {Deering News, 15 Oct. 1903). Children of Benjamin' and Elizabeth (Jones) Quinby, born at Saccarappa: I. Maby« Quinby, born 11 Oct. 1808, died 12 Dec. 1822, says Mrs. Adelaide Q. Eaton; Mr. Chapman says, died Aug. 1822, aged 15; 792. II. Geobgb Washington' Quinby, born 20 Dec. 1810 III.

It misstates the date of his second wife s death. 332. Samuel' (Benjamin <>, Benjamin^, Joseph^ Rob- ert*, Robert^) born 1791, at Somersworth, N.

Mrs. Eaton says that Samuel lived at Saco and Dover and had two daughters. They were "very handsome and in- teresting," says an aged relative. The Saco Directory of 1856 names him as living on Middle street; no occupation mentioned. He died 11 July, 1860, aged 69. 333. Archelaxjs ' (Joseph^, Benjamin^, Joseph*, Rob- ert^, Robert^) born 28 Mar. 1776, at Saccarappa, now West- brook, Me.

She was born 16 Dec. 1792, daughter of Moses and Martha (Rogers) Clark. They lived at Minot, Me., and the census of 1850 names him as a farmer there. Children, all born at Minot: I.

Joseph^ {Joseph^, Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert^) ("Joseph Quinby 3d") born 12 Mar. 1791, at Sac- carappa, now Westbrook, Me. He was married by Rev. Caleb Bradley 11 Feb. 1813, at Saccarappa, to Eliza, daugh- ter of Joseph and Sally (Waterhouse) Bailey, born 17 Oct. 1792. Parson Bradley records that the fee he received for performing the ceremony was $1.51. (IV. Me. Hist, and Gen. Rec.) "Joseph, Jr. to whom Mr. Harvey presented his Diary, was a house carpenter, and seems to have been a sort of rolling stone.

"In 1807, the Embargo Act caused such an unsettled state of affairs in the country that Joseph could not obtain steady employment in his chosen occupation, and pur- chasing some horses, he engaged in carrying merchandise between dif- ferent points. He travelled as far east as the Provinces and as far west as New York, and was often gone three months at a time. Dur- ing the war of 1812, he belonged to the Minute men serving in Capt. Benjamin Bradford's company, 45th regiment, U. S. Infantry. In poli- tics he was a Jeffersonian Demo- crat.

THE DREW MURDER Extract from an article by William Goold of Portland in the Portland Star, about 1871: "Parson Bradley's Journal. More ancient History. Murder of a Sheriff in the olden times. Last Execution in Portland: "1800, Jan. 20. At- tended the funeral of Parker who was killed at Saccarappa by Drew. Joseph Drew was a blacksmith, and Parker was a deputy sheriff who went into Drew's shop to arrest one Levi Quinby for debt, where he had retreated for security. Drew attempted to protect hijs friend, and in the scuffle struck Parker twice, the last time with a piece of wood, which caused his death. May 24. The Supreme Court sits. Attended. Drew and Quinby indicted for murder. May 26. Attended the trial of Drew. Poor unfortunate fellow was convicted of murder at 10 o'clock p. m." The Court adjourned from the Court house to the old wooden meeting house then occupied by the First Parish, for the accommodation of the great crowd that at- The Quinby Family 297 tended. "May 27. Attended the trial of Levi Quinby who was indicted for murder. He was acquitted. May 28. Attended Court. Heard the sentence of death pro- nounced on Drew by Judge Parsons. May 30. Visited Drew in prison. July 8. Went down to town and visited Drew under sentence of death. Prayed with him. July 21. The solemn day has arrived when Drew must die. At- tended his execution. Walked with him from the prison to the gallows. A vast multitude attended on the occasion." Drew was executed in front of the observatory. He must have met his fate with firm^iess, as he walked | mile from the prison to the gallows in the last hour of his existence on earth. Col. John Waite was sheriff, then 70 years old. Drew addressed the crowd from the gallows, confessing his crime. This was the third and last execution in Port- land." 338. Hiram' {Nathan", Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert'') born about 1788-98 at Saccarappa, Me. He served in Capt. Abel W. Atherton's company of Maine militia under Gen. James Irish, from 16 Sept. to 24 Nov. 1814, during the war of 1812 (Roster published in Port- land Argus, 18 May, 1912). He was on the assessment roll at Westbrook in 1814. In 1817 he bought from his father the latter's house and barn "which seem to have been located at Saccarappa back of where the Universalist church stood on the north- erly side of Main street in the village" (L. B. Chapman in Deering News 27 Apr. 1895). He was married at Port- land by Rev. Caleb Bradley, 27 Dec. 1821, to Sally Jame- son, (IV. Me. Hist, and Gen. Rec.) and removed to Old Town, Me.

He married first, Mary Goodwin, who died 1828; he married second, Sarah Batch- elor, who died 11 Feb. 1842; he seems to have been the Simeon who married 13 Oct. 1847, Rebecca Walker. It seems scarcely probable that hfe married again, but the 298 The Quinby Family census gives Simeon, aged 58, and Lydia, aged 46, as the only ones of the name, living in the town of Windham (adjoining Saccarappa) in 1850. War of 1812: No. 37, 338; Simeon Quinby's claim for bounty land ; affidavit dated 27 March, 1855, of Simeon Quinby, aged sixty years, resident of Westbrook, Maine, "that he is the identical Simeon Quinby who was a private in the company commanded by Capt. Valentine, in the regiment of Massachusetts Militia, commanded by Col. Hobbs in the war of 1812; that he entered the service at Westbrook on or about 7 Sept. 1814, for the term indefinite, and continued in actual service in said war for the term of fourteen days, and was honorably discharged at Portland on the 20th of Sept. 1814, as will appear by the company's roll." The Argus list shows that he was a member of Capt. Joseph Valentine's company raised in Sept. 1814, for the defence of Portland. The following is from a letter of Mrs. Charles E. Quin- by dated 21 Feb. 1909: "You ask if I know that Simeon was really the father of Daniel as I wrote you. I know that that is correct, as Mrs. Bryant sent me the plates that came from the old coffins of the grandfather Simeon and his second wife Sallie Batchelder; Mrs. Cord well told me that her father William Motley was next in age to Frances, the youngest child."

Nearly half a century later, a St. Paul, Minn., paper, contained the following : "Unique Family Reunion. There was a family reunion today at the residence of John C. Quinby, one of the mem- bers of the Board of Public Works, participated in by Mr. Quinby's three brothers, Dr. Henry C. Quinby and Dr. Melville Quinby of Liverpool, England, and B. F. Quinby of Chicago. This is the first time the brothers have been all together in forty-seven years." • Note. — The above birth dates are from the family Bible in possession of Dr. Arthur H. Quinby of Liverpool. Sketch of Moses' Quinby "Moses Quinby 3d was the fifth of a family of seven. His education was obtained in the common school; how early in his life his father moved with his family from Falmouth to a farm in Westbrook, Me., is not now known; he was an important help to his father, his elder brother having died young, and the other brother was five years younger than himself; then his father was farjner and mill-wright; such skill was in diemand, so much of 300 The Quinbt Family his father's time was devoted to installing water wheels, etc., that the care of the farm rested upon the son. The farm was not large but good and grew a large amount of fine hay, which was partly fed to cattle and sheep, the balance sold for cash; a stock of hens, geese and a fine breed of pigs were grown, the latter selling for twice the ordinary prices. The, son inherited the me- chanical skill of the father, and could do anything with tools, making and repairing the agricultural implements, wagons, carts, sleds, yokes for the oxen, repairing the buildings, etc. Ambitious to learn, he busied himself winters sawing timber in one of the village mills '(m shares,' The father and mother grew aged and became a care and Mr. Quinby at the age of twenty-two married Reliance Cloudman, daughter of John Cloudman and Sarah his wife, of Gorham, Me. He built an addition to the house and gave his parents proper rooms, a cow, etc.; he took over the farm, pay- ing his brother a large sum to relinquish his claim; he and his helpful wife worked hard and supported two families, both large from a wide circle of friendly visitors. Expenses being heavy, he contracted for the building of a section of the 'PGo-tland and Seb- ago Canal,' and completed it. His working force. Irishmen, all hard drinkers, with one American, also a hard drinker, as foreman, a powerful, fearless man, hated by the men, who threatened to kill him; with his back up to a barn he told them to 'come on' and knocked them out as fast as they came; he proved helpful in controUi^ig Irishmen. "Meantime Mr. Quinby's health had failed badly; he pledged his foreman from drink, took him and his family of four to the farm, gave them a place to live in, gave him the farm to 'work at the halves,' and taught him to read — he did not even know the alphabet. The foreman kept his pledge, worked hard and well for several years, but the plan did not prove sufficiently successful to Mr. Quinby, ill and with increased expenses; he having become somewhat indebted to his brother who had prospered as grocer, he sold him the farm, moved to the village with his young family, wife and four children, and father and mother. He supplied his farmer with a good wagon and pair of horses; the man worked hard, was frugal, and accumulated a handsome fortune before he died. "Mr. Quinby took a partner with a knowledge of the business and went into the manufacturing of wagons; the business grew from that to an extensive water-power factory of his own, employ- ing twelve or fourteen skilled men. The demand for carriages in Maine was not then what it has been since, so he closed out his afiFairs and went to Massachusetts with a son in the same business where he continued for some years, then retired to a pretty home near the homestead farm and his brother. "Mr. Quinby and his wife early became members of the Methodist church. He was prominent and helpful; with another, as associate, he built a handsome church, contributing largely himself; he was musical, and led the choir in the old house of worship with his voice and bass viol; he bought a fine organ for the new church, the members contributing; he was a quiet Metho- dist in those emotional, shouting days; did not approve of noisy worship, and his influence toned it down. He was an intelligent, well iriformed leader, with a religious library such as no other pos- sessed; he was tolerant in days when clergymen of one sect would The QxnNBY Family 301 not occupy the pulpit of another; as an example of his kindly feelings, the people of a distasteful church body wanted an organ like the one in his church; he permitted their mechanic to take measurements and frequent visits for study, which resulted in the construction of an exact imitation of the original. "In Massachusetts where he lived, there was no Methodist church, so he and his wife at once united with the local Congre- gational church, and were acceptable members. Later he found there were other Methodists in the place; he got them together formed a little church body, took a hall on lease, obtained a young minister, and went on successfully while he lived there. That young man grew to be a bishop of the Methodist order, and the writer believes he is living today, a retired, aged bishop. Mr. Quinby was a military officer, a fine figure mounted, and he was a highest degree Odd Fellow. Living in a drinking town at times he exerted his influence toward lessening the bad effects; he opened a general store, both grocery and dry goods, almost the only one without a drinking place, but the people were not appreciative and he closed it out in a year or two. Mr. Quinby lived a useful life and passed away in Westbrook, in 1879, at the age of seventy- four, his wife ifollowing him in fourteen years at the age of eighty- eight. Their resting place is in what is now the city of Westbrook, Maine. The following is from Mr. Quinby's obituary written by his then Pastor, and signed L.: "Brother Quinby was converted fifty-two years ago, under the labors of Rev. Mr. Schermerhorn, and immediately united with the Methodist church. He has been an active, prominent and useful member of the church to the close of his life, although for the few last years his influence was considerably limited by im- paired health. For a long time he held the offices of class-leader and steward, and with great fidelity he fulfilled the trust imposed upon him by his brethren. He joyfully carried the burdens laid upon him, and with a generous hand, almost prodigal, perhaps, he sustained, all the interests of the church; and this interest was maintained to the last. In my last interview with him, though he seemed almost patet consciousness, his face lighted and his lips moved at the name of Jesus. He has been a subscriber of the Herald for fifty-two years. He lived well and he died well and the church cherishes his memory." 342. Aaron ^ (Moses ^, Benjamin \ Joseph*, Robert", Robert") born 3 May, 1810, at Saccarappa, Me. He was married 3 Dec. 1833, by Rev. Timothy Hilliard, to Esther Cloudman, the sister of his brother Moses's wife, daughter of John and Sarah (Cobb) Cloudman, of Gorham, Me., three of whose children married Quinbys. Aaron ^ was Town Clerk at Saccarappa (now Westbrook) 1846/-7-8; Selectman, 1848-9; Representative, 1851-2-3; State Senator, 1855. The records show that he was a subscribed to the Westbrook Social Library in 1840, and no doubt other years; the census of 1860 names him and his wife as living at Westbrook, where his real estate was valued at $1000; their youngest sons were then living with them, attending 302 The Quinbt Family school. Hon. Aaron' Quinby died 8 Jan. 1872; his wife Esther died of pneumonia 2 Apr. 1893 at Westbrook. He lived and died in the old homestead that had come down to him from his grandfather Benjamin. Mr. Chapman, in the Deering News of 11 Oct. 1899, says: "He filled the office of town clerk and was re- elected repeatedly. The work upon the town books is neatly donfe. After passing the preparatory positionb of selectman and representative to the state legislature he was sent by his fellow townsmen to the state senate, leav- ing at the close of his worldly career good reports of him- self. Upon the manuscript records of the town of West- brook the name is inscribed in a manner that reflects credit upon the descendants, and in the village cemetery it is deeply engraved upon tablets of stone. Our labor to per- petuate has been cheerfully given." Children of Hon. Aaron' and Esther (Cloudman) Quinby : 1. Adeline Mabia' Quinby, born 24 Sept. 1834; mar- ried 10 (or 22) Jan. 18G0, John W.

In 1814 he was on the Saccarappa tax assessment list for a blacksmith shop, $100, and nine acres of land. (L. B. C, Deering News, 27 Apr. 1905). This seems to be the only possible Charles, but was only 20 years old. The real estate records (Alfred, Me.) show that Charles Quinby was grantee of real esta^te 15 Apr. 1815, from David Newbegin (bk. 92, p. 270). He was a private in the com- pany raised in September, 1814, at Westbrook, Capt. Joseph Valentine, for service at Portland; Benjamin Quinby was a sergeant in this company; Charles and Simeon were privates. He was married 16 June, 1817, at Portland, by Rev. Caleb Bradley to Mary Weeks Roberts of Saccarappa; he paid the minister a fee of $2 (IV. Me. Hist, and Gen. Rec.) Charles was grantee of real estate 5 Mar. 1818, from William Davis (bk. 100, p. 44).

H., and went within a year to Hopkinton. He married at New Grantham, N. H., 15 Nov. 1798, Anna Ring, (spelled Anor on the Grantham record), both residents of Enfield. In 1810 he and his wife and family lived at Enfield. The only other family of the name there then was that of Benjamin* (Benjamin^, Benjamin*) (U. S. census). Enos's family in 1810 were as follows: I. (girl)' QmNBY, born between 1794 and 1800; 828. II. (boy)' Quinby, born after 1800; 829. III. (boy)' Quinby, born after 1800; ' IV.

(Her brother Joseph" Hoyt married 18 Aug. 1808, Elizabeth^ Quinby, sister of Thomas^, and lived at Windsor, Vt., says Hoyt Genealogy). (20) 306 The Quinby Family The census of 1810 gives Thomas and wife of Hop- kinton with a family consisting of one female between 16 and 26, one boy between 10 and 26, and two girls and two boys under 10. The town clerk of Vershire, Vt., writes me that Thomas Quinby of Hopkinton bought and sold real estate in Vershire in 1813. The census of 1850 give Thomas and Betsy Quinby as living in the same house at Thetford, Vt., he aged 72, she 63, "both born in New Hampshire." Either he mar- ried again, or she was the sister above mentioned, then no doubt a widow. In 1856 he made an affidavit in support of his claim under the U. S. law for bounty labd, for service in the war of 1812. No. 258, 799: Claim for Bounty Land of Thomas Quinby, aged 78 years^, resident of Thetford, Orange county, Vt. Affidavit of Thomas Quinby dated 15 Sept. 1856, that he is the identical Thomas Quinby who was a private, in the company commanded by Capt. Ebenezer Spencer in the regiment of Vermont Militia, commanded by Col. Lyman Fitch in the war of 1812; that he vol- unteered at Thetford, Vermont, on or about 10 Sept. 1814, for a term indefinite and continued in actual service in said war for the term of five days. That at the time of the alarm that the British were about to invade Plattsburgh, N. Y., he together with the other members of said company, volunteered and got in readjness for marching and took up their line of march fof the defense of that place. Saturday morning 10 Sept. 1814, on their arrival at Burlington, Vt., a distance of seventy miles, they were informed of the battle of Plattsburgh, N. Y., ahd the retreat of the British and were notified their services were not further needed; where- upon the company returned to their place of starting. He died 7 Sept. 1859, at Thetford.

Dunham ' (Benjamin ^ Benjamin *, Benjamin *, Robert^ Robert") born 12 July, 1805, probably at Enfield, N. H.; married Rebecca Proctor, and lived at Marshfield, Washington county, Vt. The census of 1850 names him and his wife, aged 40 as living at Marshfield with his sister Susan ' and son Proctor*; he was a farmer with real estate put at $1200. In 1860 the census gives Dunham Quimby aged 52, living with wife Mary M., aged 36, at Newbury, Orange county, Vt., with Harriet E., aged 13, and Adeline A., aged 10, all born in New Hampshire.' He was a farmer with $800 real estate and $201 personal. It is evident that he had married a second time and moved to Newbury from Marshfield, N. H. Children, born prob- ably at Marshfield: 836 I. Proctor' Quimby, born 1836; II. Harriet E. ' Quimby, born 1847; III. Adeline A. ' Quimby, born 1850. 351. Stephen' (Isaac ^, Jonathan^, Benjamin*, Rob- ert\ Robert") born 16 Dec. 1793 at Deering, N.

Stephen ' was a farmer at Unity, N. H. Stephen received part of lots 25 and 26 in the first range at Unity, forty- seven acres of land for $166, from Benjamin Quimby, administrator of his father's estate, by deed of 2 Sept. 1816; and from the same, 3 June 1820, thirty-seven acres, for $63. The reversion of widow's dower was excepted during her life. Stephen sold to James Cunningham 8 Jan. 1817 for $250, the above forty-seven acres. ("Ben- jamin Quinby and Descendants," by Rev. Silas E.

(Na- tive Ministry of N. H., p. 189-190). "Because of an unfortunate business transaction^ his father lost all his property. The family moved to Uiiity from Deering when this son was in his third year. From early childhood he experienced the deepest poverty. He was thrust out to earn his living early in his teens. He was deprived of the most meager education, not even beiilg able to attend as much as six months, all told, the common district school of those days. He was licensed to preach at 19 and called immediately into the work. He joined the New Hampshire Methodist Episcopal Conference at 20. At that time he was so indifferent a reader that he prac- ticed on a few familiar psalms so that he might without embarrassment conduct family worship in pastoral visiting. He was so indifferent a penman that a brother-in-law fur- nished him with a sample copy of the written alphabet, capitals and small. With all these handicaps he attained at least an honorable position among his brethren in the ministry. He became a great Biblical student. He mem- orized the New Testament accurately, and could easily quote, book, chapter, and verse. Often at family worship he would repeat the entire chapter, not waiting for the child to read the lesson. His sermons were full of Biblical quotations. He studied Webster's Dictionary constantly, and trained his family in correct pronunciation. He stu- died and mastered the current works of Methodist litera- ture, such as Wesley's sermons and works; Watson's In- stitutes, Bledsoe's Theodicy; Clarke's and Whedon's com- mentaries; and accumulated for those days a large library. "In his early days he was much in demand as an evan- gelist to assist pastors in what were termed 'protracted meetings.' He was what we would now call a star preacher 312 The Qthnbt Familt at camp-meetings. The management would often put him on to preach once each day, and seemed to think that if they could have him, the others mattered little. He was 'junior preacher' on circuits only three years, and ever after that was appointed as preacher in charge. He was made Presiding Elder at 36 and travelled his district in summer's heat and winter's cold, in all kinds of weather with his own horse and carriage or sleigh, holding old-fashioned quarterly meetings day and evening, love feasts, communion and quarterly conferences, week days and Sundays, preaching several times a week. He never travelled on the Sabbath. After leaving the district, he had such appointments as Manchester, Keene, Tilton, Lebanon and Newbury, Vt. He literally heeded Wesley's injunction concerning early rising, never being idle or unemployed. He toiled inces- santly seven days in a week, and never took a vacation. His zeal exceeded his wisdom, and as a consequence he faded early and superannuated at a time when he ought to have been in his prime for effective service." Rev. Silas appeared in the census report of 1860 at Newbury, Orange county, Vt., as a Methodist clergyman with $900 worth of real estate and $500 of personal estate; his son Silas E. was teacher in the seminary; his daughter Alice W. was a school teacher. They lived at Newbury till May 1863. Rev. Silas died at Unity 25 Jan. 1885, aged 73y. 8m.; his wife died at Unity of consumption 12 Feb. 1883, aged 72. Children: I.

POEMS BY PHOEBE ADELINE' QUINBY (born 1808, died 1890) Beautiful Leaves Thou desolate, winter reft, sorrowful earth, Rejoice! for spring cometh, sweet source of thy birth; Her breath the lost charms of thy youth will restore, Lo! the days of thy mourning and sack cloth are o'er. Arise! cast the ashes aind dust from thy head. Wear a crown of rejoicing and triumph instead. For she brings a bright promise, which never deceives, To give you a garment of beautiful leaves. O'er hill top and valley, o'er mountain and wold. All lovely and tender I see them unfold. The breeze sings atound them, while deftly it weaves On thy mantle of greenness, the beautiful leaves. Through all the sweet springtime, through summer's long day. They disport in the sunshine and bask in its? ray. Till thy robe in its fullness, on treetop, and sod, Is as fair as when fresh from the fiat of God. What meaneth gay autumn, this fairy like scene? This wealth of bright jewels, this marvelous sheen? Every tree stands a King, in his rubies and gold, Outrivaling far all the fables of old. Ah! it answers me sighing, Alas for their doom! 'Tis the mark of the spoiler, their seal for the tomb! Hark! I hear the wind sobbing, and lowly it grieves, 'Tie thy sorrowful requiem — beautiful leaves. Oh! wail not so sadly, nor moan in thy pain, For spring shall restore thy lost darlings again. 495T.SAAC' QUINBY, (photo, loaned by Miss F. Elizabeth Quinby.) '(See p. .'522.)

The Quimbt Family 821 Mourn rather for those whose lost youth nevermore Nor can art, nor can springtime, in beauty reistore; Nay grieve not for such, since a happier clime Awaits the freed spirit unlettered by time — And there in that new home, the fond heart believes Waits a crown bright immortal of beautiful leaves. Lines on the Death of Davis Vail Oh I never again on life's dusty road With its mingled joy and pain, Bearing its light or heavy load Wilt thou be found again. For with reverent hands in the sunny ground Of the laiid thou lovest the best, For thee a hallowed spot we've found And have borne thee to thy rest. There the summer's breeze or the wintry gale As they haste in their wrath or glee With their sweetest song or loudest wail Will call in vain to thee. In a peopled place we have laid thee down, Where gathered full oft before Are the hoary head and youth's bright crown Of the loved and lost of yore. Two forms I see mid the silent hush — Loved son and daughter fair; The tender bud and the flower's sweet flush: They have long been waiting there. They are waiting still, and thou dost wait For that which must sure betide — Waiting for those who or soon or late Shall slumber by thy side. Peace to thy grave — may a requiem strain Pour oft from yon maple tree A jubilant song bringing ease to our pain, And an echo loved heart to thee. For oh! may we hear like a message clear, "Stricken heart why grievest thbu? His life to Heavenly Heart was dear And a crown is on his brow." Lines to a Stick of Firewood. Unsightly friend, so rude and old, Wrapped in thy grey coat fold on fold — How may I deem that hand of mine Round thee, poetic wreath ma^ twine Or for such, garland hope to bring — Flowers which on high Parnassus spring. (31) 322 The Qthnbt Familt Yet fancy still with musing eyes Sees tall and fair before her, rise A giant form, which proudly there Waves its broa^ banners in the air; Sees thee, a topmost branch unfold Thy downy bud — thy autumn gold, Home of the nesting bird, whose trill Doth the whole listening landi,lscape fill — A glad sweet song, which grateful pays Blest tribute to its Maker's praiise. Whilst thy stirred leaves in low refrain All trembling, haste to join the strain. But vandal hands an axe have found. And that tall hfead, by centuries crowned. O'er which, so long have dtiving rain And sleety tempest beat in vain. Where violets came to hide away From neath the noontide's sultry ray. Deep groaning falls — and all abroad Spreads its green honors on the sod: No more to stand in conscious power. No more to shelter bird or flower. Thou soaring bough which sought the sky, Alas! how lowly thou dost lie! How shorn and reft! What ken might trace Sweet vestige of thy leafy grace. Those sportive forms so light and gay. Nurtured by thee in summer's day? Nor useless thus, for well we know. We yet shall feel thy warmth alid glow, — Shall sit at witching eventidje. Watching thy sparkles upward; glide. And by their magic light shall weave Sweet visions which we half believe; See tower and turret rise in air. Baseless, yet how exceeding fair! O happy fate, to soar so high And in such blaze of glory, — die! 495. Isaac ^ (Josiah", Josiah'^, John*, John'', John*, William^) born 2 Mar. 1788, at Orange, N. J.; married 24 Dec. 1812, at Parsippany, Sarah, daughter of John and Jane (Dodd) DeHart of Hanover township, Mor- ris county, N. J., born 3 Feb. 1794.

"He was one of those farmers of Parsippany who gathered up their tools when Hardy's powerful squadron appeared off the New England coast during the summer of 1814, and offered their services to their State and assisted in constructing breastworks near Sandy Hook and Eliza- beth town," says his grandson and namesake, Isaac Quinby Gurnee, of Butler, N. J. "Isaac was a strong Whig in politics, his son Gen. Isaac F. was a Democrat, also nearly all of the boys ex- cept Alonzo, who was a Republican; but they all voted for Abe Lincoln. Isaac and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church at Parsippany all their lives, which was the place of worship of this branch of the Quinby family for five generations. Isaac Quinby was a judge for twelve years, member of the state legislature in 1844, and a magistrate for fifty years. He died 29 Jan. 1866." His widow died 4 Oct. 1878.

Vail of telephone fame; "Phoebe and her husband went to Ohio, where they started farming and where their son Theodore N. was born; they were dissatisfied, and returned to New Jersey. Young Theodore Vail obtained an appointment with the railway mail service, of which telegraphy was an important adjunct. There he became interested in the Bell Telephone Co. and his career in con- nection with that system is well known. In 1907 he was elected President of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Co., and in 1910, President of the Western Union Telegraph Company, both of which offices he now holds; he married Mabel R. Sanderson; on him has been conferred the degree of LL. D. by Middlebury, Dartmouth and Princeton col- leges. In 1912 he donated to the trustees of the old church at Parsippany twenty acres of land for an addition to the cemetery and for park purposes, and in the old cemetery he has caused to be erected an imposing monument of Rhode Island and Vermont granite on which are allegorical figures representing a mother pleading with an angel for her child" (see illustration); 1083.

He doesn't wear glasses and his faculties are about as active as those of the average middle aged man. The members of Howard Lodge com- memorated his long afl&liation with the Order recently by sending him a floral piece." From about 1898 till his death he spent his winters in Florida. He died after a long ill- ness of chronic malaria, 8 Feb. 1908, at the residence of Frederick D. Egbert, 58 Arlington Ave., Newark, and was buried in Rosedale cemetery.

Quinby of South Penn street, dropped dead at her home, Wednesday afternoon about 5.30 o'clock, while sitting in the reception hall conversing with her husband. News of her sudden demise caused a profound shock and has caused deep sorrow to her large number of friends and acquaintances. Mrs. Quinby was 60 years old. Although having been a sufferer with heart trouble for some- time, Mrs. Quinby was in her usual good spirits during the day. She had not fully recovered from an attack of typhoid fever, which left her in a weakened condition and her heart often caused annoyance. Mrs. Quinby was a daughter of the late William Knighton and was born at Goshen, Ind. When a child, the family moved to Sharon and Mrs. Quinby had since resided there. She was one of the most active members of the First M. E. church and took a prominent part in the work of the Pastor's Helpers. She was a woman of high character and she was held in the highest esteem by all who knew her. Surviving are her husband and the following children: Mrs. Fred E. Cairey of Youngstown; Mrs. Jesse Robinson and William Quinby of Sharon and Arthur Quinby of New Castle. The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock from the family residence, Rev. C. W. Miner officiating. Inter- ment will be private and will take place in Oakwood cemetery. (Sharon Herald, 31 July, 1913). Mr. Quinby lives at Sharon, Pa. Children: I.

' Quinby "The subject of this sketch inherited the example, benevolent spirit and business talent of his father, as well as his fortune, and the estate grew into its present mammoth proportions uncier the management of the great son of his father. As soon as his age would permit, his education commenced at the private school of Mrs. Poipe, was continued at Dennison College, Granville, Ohio, and then at Kenyqn College, Cambier, Ohio. He soon commenced a business career, in which he was engaged when, on October 17, 1878, he was married to Amelia C. Schmertz, of Pittsburg, Penn- sylvania, who was ehe eldest daughter of William E. Schmertz, of that city, who was then a member of the Board of Commerce, president of the Second National Bank, and one of the largest boot and shoe manufacturers in the country. She was also the grandxlaughter of Rev. David Kimerer, one of the pioneer minis- ters of Wooster, a noted orator, highly respected; and he was such a grand old man that the people involuntarily raised their hats in his presence. He was a minister of the German Reformed Church. The Quinbys were of the Presbyterian faith. The sub- ject of this sketch was engaged in the dty goods business a num- ber of years, discontinuing in 1879, and engaged in the manu- facture of window glass at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with E. C. Schmertz as a partner, which was continued fropi 1879 until 1884. His father having died on January 30, 1880, the large estate left the subject o| this sketch called him to Wooster. He owned the Wayne County National Bank for a short time after his father's death and sold it to Jacob Frick. "Commencing in 1884-5, he carried out a comprehensive plan of improvement of his real property. In the spring of 1885 he erected the Quinby block in Cleveland on the corner of Euclid and Wilson Avenues, at a cost of seventy thousand dollars, which is occupied in part by one of the largest branches of the Cleve- land Trust Company. I?. 1887 he erected a large four story build- iiig on the southwest side of the public square in Wooster, Ohio, this building being occupied principally by the William Annat dry goods store. In 1889 he erected a building, seventy by fifty-five feet, in the rear of McClure's store fronting on Diamond alley. In 1890 he built a three-story building on the northeast corner of the public square and East Liberty street, with a modern base- ment running the entire length of the building; this building is occupied by the Alvin Rich hardware store. In 1894 he built the three-story building on the southwest corner of the public square occupied by the McClure stove and house furnishing store. "The truth is worthy of observation that the foregoing con- 332 The Quinby Family stitute but an imperfect schedule of the improvements that so greatly embellish his native town, and not only illustrate the wisdom of his management but the benevolence of his character. Of the many private acts of charity and benevolence necessarily connected with a large estate, the rehearsal would not be in harm- onj' with the habits or wishes of Edward M. Quinby. "The peculiar mental habits and reticence of Mr. Quinby adorn his life; his splendid manhood was private; there was not the slightest ostentation in any situation in which he was placed; he inherited the calm, composed, reflective demeanor of the Quin- bys and McConahays; he was as perfect a gentleman as Wooster ever produced. Mrs. Quinby gives him the character of a prince, so gentle, so noble, was he in all the relations of life. Intellectu- ally, he was the equal of the highest type of man. He was com- prehensive, discriminating, strong, not to be deceived, without passion, without anger, generally meeting an inadmissible proposi- tion with a smile and a reason. He had pleasant associates, was companionable with them, belonged to clubs, lived mostly in sun- shine; was a modest man, but it was not affectatioUj it was a con- trolling senpe of propriety; he had a wide, modern information, and surprised one with scientific analysis, with occult suggestions. His success in his great business affairs was phenomenal. His estate was largely increased in value; he contributed immensely to taxation in Wooster and in the state; he was a public benefac- tor; he deserved the encomiums of every inhabitant of Wooster. "To the accomplishments of Edward M. Quinby as a native of Wooster are to be added the refinements of travel and the broad elegance of the manners of the international life. With his family he found a pleasant retreat in Germany, and his children, entering upon a system of education there, detained him longer, perhaps, than contemplated* To the writer he expressed the in- tention of returning to Wooster in a couple of years. He was constantly engaged in traveling from Europe to Wooster to see his large estates; he improved the old ancestral home on South Market Street, and in the spring of 1909, at the hotel in Wooster, he seemed buoyant, full of life and hope and pleased with the familiar scenes of his early life. Without having time to do so, he died on the 2nd of July, 1909." 574.

Very likely Elijah became a member of Clear Lake Monthly Meeting at Laporte — it was laid down long years ago." Mr. Quinby died at Laporte, Ind., Mrs. Quinby died at Chetopa, Kan. Children: 1215. I.

This marriage was outside the Friends' Society and prior to 3 mo. 27, 1840; he was disowned for it, 6 mo. 29, 1840. "Disownments for marrying out were becoming rare in the Henrietta Monthly Meeting by that time," says Mr. Cocks.

In the census of 1850 Mr. Quinby 's farm at Mendon, N. Y., was estimated as worth not less than $8500. He married second, Maria Schuyler, "born 1831."

The list of Quakers in 1828, affiliated with Coeymans Monthly Meeting, Albany county, N. Y., names Hannah, and Job, aged 8 (Hicksitesi). The family with the children except Job, had removed from Chappaqua to Coeymans, 1 mo. 10, 1817 (rec). William Quinby died 16 Mar. 1841, says the record; Dodge's list says 2 mo. 1841. Children: 1223. I. John Sands' Quinby, born 8 mo. 4, 1805 (see); II. Ann K.« Quinby, born 11 mo. 16, 1806; . married Robert Wicks and died 6 Jan. 1832; buried on the farm at Earlton; III.

Samuel' (Obediah^, Samuel^, Moses*, Josiah*, John'', William^) born 8 mo. 20, 1795, probably at Milan, Dutchess county, N. Y. He married first, 4 mo. 23, 1823, Patience Gaige, born 2 mo. 16, 1799. The Quaker records at Chappaqua, Westchester county, where his family had lived for generations, show that he "removed to New York, 6 mo. 10, 1824." He moved from Dutchess county and settled in 1831 at Quaker Street (27 miles from Albany) where he purchased a farm on the Schoharie road, three- quarters of a mile from the village of Quaker Street; he owned the farm till his death when it came to his son Isaac. Samuel's first wife. Patience, died 19 Mar. 1843, and he married second, 26 Dec. 1846, Esther Bowerman, by whom he had no children. The census of 1850 names him as a farmer, with real estate worth at least $3000. Mr. Adelbert Carmi Hayden, of Saratoga, thus describes him: "I knew Samuel Quinby well; he was a grand old man. He was tall and well developed. He took a great interest in the weekly meetings in the little Friends' Meet- ing-house at Quaker Street (see photograph). He had a wonderful command of language, and when he arose to speak, as he often did in the meetings, his words were listened to and they were wonderfully effective." His wife 336 The Quinby Family Esther died 12 mo. 23, 1869, aged 78y. 8m. 5d, Samuel died 12 mo. 23, 1875. Children: I.

Aaron' (Obediah^, Samuel^, Moses\ Josiah^, John'', William^) born 8 mo. 2, 1799, probably at Milan, Dutchess county, N. Y., where he spent his early life. He married there 6 June, 1826, Mary, daughter of Reuben and Susannah (Dean) Wilbur, born 29 Nov. 1806. A. C, Hayden says: "Soon after marriage, Aaron Quinby and his wife moved to Duanesburg, Schenectady county, N. Y., where four of their children were born. About 1839 Aaron Quinby and family moved to Glens Falls, N. Y., having purchased fifty acres of land next to the Augustus Sherman farm in what is now the heart of Glens Falls. Their son Aaron Jay Quinby was born there. Soon afterward, about 1846, they moved to the town of Stillwater, Saratoga county, N. Y., having sold the farm at Glens Falls. They purchased another farm of sixty acres on the turnpike about half way between Mechanicville and Stillwater. The house was a large old-fashioned one, overlooking the Hudson River, and commanded the best view up and down the river of any point between the two villages. The farm was considered the best in that locality. It was lo- cated very near what is known as Becker Lock, on the Champlain Canal. They lived here about three years when 582SAMTJEL' QUINBT (Photo, loaned by A. 0. Hayden.) (See p. 335.) 1228 Samuel J.s Quinby, (Photo, loaned by A. C.

Y., 6 mo. 2, 1797, say the Friends' records, (7 mo. 2, 1798 says a family record); married at Newcastle 3 mo. 20, 1828, Elizabeth Thorn, daughter of Brundage and Phoebe (Thorn) Tompkins, born 14 June, 1802, of Sing Sing, N. Y. ("mar. int. 2, 14, 3, 13, 1828; reported ace. 4, 10, 1828")- He appeared in the New York city directories first in 1828 as living at 151 Madison street; the following year at Laurens street, corner of Amity lane; in 1831 at 222 Laurens street. The "Catherine, widow of Caleb, 115 Chapel street" in the directory of 1828 is either a mistake or refers to another Caleb. Caleb Quinby and Eliza his wife were granted certi- ficate by the Orthodox Friends from Chappaqua, West- (22) 338 The Quinby Family Chester county, and removed to New York city, 4 mo. 9, 1829, and he was "disowned" by them July, 1830, she was disowned July, 1831. The Hicksite records say they re- moved to New York 3 mo. 10, 1831, and a certificate issued. The Hicksite register records Caleb, Elizabeth his wife and Edward as from Chappaqua, June, 1831, (3 mo. 10, 1831, Hicksite re.) to Chappaqua, Feb. 1834. "Caleb and wife Eliza, having removed clear to Chappaqua, 4 mo. 9, 1829" (Orthodox Friends' rec). "Returned to Chap- paqua with son Edward 2 mo. 5, 1834" (Hicks, rec). Caleb Quinby died 3, 4 mo. 1849, (says Dodge's list) at Newcastle, Westchester county, and administration was granted 13 June, 1849, to his widow Elizabeth. (White Plains rec. lib. H, p. 163). He died 4 mo. 3, 1849, of con- sumption, at Northcastle, aged 49y. 10m. Id. His wife Elizabeth died 6 Feb, 1874; both are buried at Chappaqua, but have no gravestones. Only child: 1232. Edward S.« Quinby, born 2 Oct. 1833, at New York city (see). 586. Abraham^ (Josiah^, Samuel^, Moses*, Josiah^, John^, William^) born 9 June, 1802, in Westchester county, N. Y.; married first, 3 mo. 5, 1829, Adelia P. Dereaux or Darrow, born 1 mo. 31, 1808. The Hicksite records of Chappaqua, Westchester county, say that Amelia P. Quin- by, formerly Carpenter, married outside of the Society of Friends before 4 mo. 6, 1829, and was disowned 6 mo. 11, 1829. Abraham Quinby married outside before 4 mo. 9, 1829, and was disowned 7 mo. 9, 1829. This seems un- intelligible now, as of course if both were subject to dis- ownment, both must have been Quakers and therefore neither would have "married outside." Adelia made an acknowledgment and it was accepted by the Meeting 9 mo. 10, 1829. Abraham also was reinstated as his name ap- pears on the records later. His wife Adelia died 4 mo. 16, 1849, aged 41y. 2m. 16d., and he married second, Anna Barmore of Dutchess county, N. Y., born 1 mo. 14, 1811, died 5 mo. 15, 1875, aged 64y. 4m. lid., and letters of ad- ministration on her estate were granted to her husband, Abraham Quinby, 15 Oct. 1849, whose residence was given as Newcastle, Westchester county (lib. 11, p. 186). Abra- ham Quinby died 12 mo. 23, 1885, ae. 83y. 6m. 14d. say the Friends' records. Gravestones of both are in the Friends' ground at Chappaqua. Abraham's will was proved 22 Jan. 1886 (lib. 104, p. 492). Children: The QuiNBT Family 339 I. Phanny P.8 Quinby, born 3 mo. 15, 1830, died 10 mo. 8, 1862; II.

Daniel' {Josiah^, Samuel^, Moses*, Josiah^, John^, William^) born 3 mo. 10, 1804, at Newcastle, West- chester county, N. Y.; married 29 Apr. 1831, Rachel, daughter of James and Mary Pugsley, born 1802. He obtained a certificate of clearance from the Chappaqua Friends' meeting having "removed clear from Chappaqua, 3 mo. 9, 1826" (Hicksite rec), and went to New York city, where in 1827, his name appears for the first time in the city directory, at 340 Front st., and in 1828, at the time of the separation of the Hicksites, his name appears as a member of the New York Monthly Meeting. In October, 1831, he was disowned by the Friends; probably for joining the Hicksite Quakers; and in the same year his name again appears for the second time in the New York city directory, at 156 Madison st., and from 1832 to 1836 at 123 Amity st., the last appearance of his name. Daniel Quinby was the assignee of a long lease from Peter V. W. Bishop, 14 Mar. 1837, of the rectangular property in the ninth ward bounded by Bethune, Washington and Banks sts. (N. Y. county deeds, vol. 348, p. 620). He probably removed to White Plains at about that time, and in 1850 the census shows him there in remarkably flourishing con- dition for those times for a farmer; his real estate alone is recorded as worth at least $12,000. Daniel' Quinby died 10 Apr. 1869, aged 65y. Im. (4 mo. 11, says Dodge); his widow Rachel died 2 Dec. 1868, aged 66y. 8m. 15d. (11 mo. 24, says Dodge) and both are buried in the Rural cemetery at White Plains. Daniel's will was proved 5 May, 1869 (lib. 59, p. 206), and mentions his wife Rachel, 340 The Quinby Family son Charles J. and wife Susan; Egbert's wife Maria and their son Henry an infant; daughter Ann Eliza and hus- band Ezekiel Wilcox, to each of whom he willed $500. Charles J. was named executor. Children of Daniel and Rachel (Pugsley) Quinby: 1236. I. Charles Josiah' Quinby, born 29 Feb. 1832 (see); 1237. II. Egbert' Quinby, born 5 Jan. 1837, at New York city (see); III. Anne Eliza' Quinby, born 1841, married Ezekiel Halsev Wilcox and lives at Asbury Park, N. J. 588. Reuben^ (Josiah^, Samuel^, Moses*, Josiah^, John^, William'^) born 5 Feb. 1806, at Newcastle, West- chester county, N. Y.; married Susan L., daughter of John and Mary Carpenter, and was disowned 7 mo. 13, 1836, by the Friends for marrying outside their society. Susan was born 24 May, 1809, at Newcastle. Reuben became a merchant at Sing Sing, now Ossining, Westchester coun- ty, and is so recorded in the census of 1850. He was ap- pointed postmaster there in 1861 by President Lincoln, and again in 1866 by President Johnson. The gravestones in the Friends' ground at Chappaqua give their deaths as follows: Reuben Quinby died 10 May, 1890, aged 84y. 3m. 5d.; his wife Susan Carpenter died 24 Jan. 1895, aged 85y. 8m. Children: 1238. I. John Henry' Quinby, born 9 July, 1836; killed by railway cars, 1 mo. 11, 1872; II. Mary R.' Quinby, born 1838, married a Stevens; 1239. III. George W.' Quinby, born 22 Nov. 1840 (see); 1240. IV. Charles Reuben' Quinby, born 26 Nov. 1847 (see) ; 589. Underhill ' (Josiah^, Samuel^, Moses*, Josiah", John^, William^) born 5 May, 1808, at Northcastle, West- chester county, N. Y. ; married first Anna Loretta van Voorhis, born 2 Sept. 1820. One Ann Quinby is mentioned in Dodge's list, as having died at Chappaqua, 2 mo. 17, 1849, probably the same, as John J. is recorded as born a week earlier. Underhill married second, Sarah Barmore. He died 7 mo. 23, 1859, aged Sly. 2m. 18d., say the Friends' records. Letters of administration on his estate were issued to his widow Sarah and Abram Quinby 16 Sept. 1859 (lib. J, p. 85). His residence was named as having been Newcastle. Children: I. Marietta' Quinby ("Etta") born 1843; Underhill Quinby was appointed hfer guardian 10 Apr. 1854, and Edward S. Quinby, 16 Sept. 1859; she mar- ried Abraham Bedell; legatee of $1800 under her The Quinby Family 341 aunt Ann' Quinby's will in 1893; in 1912 she was living at Katonah, N. Y.; 1241. II. Alfred* Quinby, "died unmarried"; III. Ophelia* Quinby; IV. Abigail Jane' Quinby, ("Jennie"), born 1846, married Walker B. Adams, who was instantly killed by burglars in 1898; she was legatee under her aunt Ann Quinby's will in 1893 of $1800; her husband was one of the executors; she lives (1911) at Bedford Hills, N. Y.; 1242. V. John J.' Quinby, born 10 Feb. 1849 (see). 592. JosiAH Rowland^ {William^, Josiah^, Moses*, Josiah^, John^, William^) born 1 mo. 16, 1791, probably at Pawling, N. Y. A Friends' record says: "Josiah, son of William Quinby, removed clear of marital engagements from Chappaqua to New York, 10 mo. 9, 1812;" the Hick- site record at Nine Partners, Dutchess county, show that he married 12 mo. 26, I8I61, Deborah, daughter of Jona- than and Phoebe (Sutton) Haight of that town, born 23 Dec. 1798. The Hicksite record says: "Deborah H. Quin- by, removed with her husband from Nine Partners 7 mo. 17, 1817." This is the only Quinby removal record on the Quaker records of Nine Partners. In 1816 appears the first record in the New York city directories of Josiah H., who was then given as dealer in dry goods at 394 Pearl street. The following year, Moses "L." appears as dry goods dealer at that address, while Josiah H. is in the same business at 296 Pearl street, and from 1818 to 1824 at 398 Pearl street. In 1825 and 1826 he was at 400 Pearl street. From 1822 to 1826 the firm name was Quinby & Jagger. One Josiah, (possibly an er- ror for Isaiah) living at 215 Wooster street, appears in 1828 only. His name does not occur in the directory after- wards, as the following year Josiah returned to Nine Part- ners, N. Y. His brother Azariah H. ' continued the dry good business at 400 Pearl street, as appears by the direc- tory of 1829; in 1828 he and his business were given as 155 Chatham st. There is no mentipn of them or the busi- ness after 1829. The Hicksite record shows "Josiah H. Quinby, wife Deborah, children Caroline, William, Phoebe Jane, Mary Elizabeth and John Jagger removed to Nine Partners 11 mo. 5, 1828;" another Quaker record gives the date as 8 mo. 6, 1828. Josiah H. and his wife "lived and died on a farm in Washington township, Dutchess county, about twenty miles from Poughkeepsie," says a descendant. The census of 1850 shows that they were then back in New York city, where Josiah H. and Deborah were living 342 The Quinby Family with their son John J. in the 14th ward; Caroline M. Sut- ton and Phoebe and Elizabeth Wright were living under the same roof. Perhaps the parents were visiting when the enumerator caught them. Josiah H. Quinby died 15 July, 1856, and his widow Deborah, died 4 Sept. 1884. Children : I. Caroline M.« Quinby, born 10 Apr. 1818; married first, 22 Oct. 1838, at Nine Partners, George W., son of Abraham and Esther Sutton of De Ruyter, Madison county, N. Y.; he died about 1850 on his way home by sea from California, and she married second, in 1871, George H. Tompkins, who died 18 July, 1883; she died 19 Nov. 1895, at Laxton, Md.; 1243. II. William Howland> Quinby, born 17 Apr. 1820 (see) ; III. Charles' Quinby, bo!rn 7 Oct. 1822, died 9 July, 1823 (7 mo. 19, Fr. re); IV. Phoebe Jane' Quinby, born 19 Apr. 1825 (4 mo. 12, Fr. re); married at her father's house in Washington township, 20 Feb. 1849, William C, son of Asahel and Esther Haviland of New York city; she died about 1903 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James H. Vail at Laxton, Md.; V. Mary Elizabeth* Quinby, born 27 Jan. 1827, (2 mo. 19, 1826, Fr. re.) died 24 Apr. 1830; 1244. VI. John Jagger' Quinby, born 4 Sept. 1828; died at Poughkeepsie unmarried, 16 Jan. 18—. Note. — The foregoing records are partly from Mies Mary W.' Quinby, partly from other sources and partly from John Cox's copies of the Frienct' records of which he is custodian and for his copies of the Quinby items in which, he charged over a hundred dollars; his copies ought to be correct, but they vary frequently from other records. 593. Isaiah H. ' (William*, Josiah^, Moses*, Josiah*, John^, William^) born 5 mo. 1792 (says C. L. Andrews; 5 mo. 5, says Mrs. Beebe; c/. death rec.) probably at Paw- ling, N. Y.; lived at Quaker Hill, Dutchess county, until 1810, then lived at Chappaqua, Westchester county until 8 mo. 14, 1818; then lived at Oblong until in 1821 he re- turned to Chappaqua. He married at Somers, 6 mo. 20, 1821, Amy, daughter of Samuel and Sarah M. Sutton of Somers. The Friends' record of the marriage says: "mar- riage intention 5, 11 and 6, 15, 1821; reported accordingly, 7, 13, 1821." (See p. 128.) Amy was born 6 mo. 29, 1797. They took a certificate of departure from Chappaqua with their children 8 mo. 9, 1829, to New York city. The records of the New York Monthly Meeting in 1828 show that at the time of the Hicksite separation they joined that sect. The Hicksite records show their certificate from Chappaqua as 11 mo. 1827. In the New York city directories we find 592JOSIAH HOWLAND' AND DeBOKAH (Haight) Quinby. 1244JOHN Jaggers Quinby, son of 592Josiah HJ Quinby. f ^^'•::^ -y- <*li*,„.00»¥i^' 593ISAIAH H.7 Quinby, (Photo, by Beniczky, N. Y.) Amy Sutton, wife of .593Tsaiah H.^ Quinby (photo, by Green, Brooklyn). The Quinby Family 343 his name in 1829 for the first time, as at 200 Green st., and in 1830-1 as at 204 Green st. He was evidently in the carting or trucking business which he turned over to his brother Moses in 1832 and returned to Chappaqua with his wife and children 1 mo. 2, 1833. Orthodox Quakers there had disowned him in January and Amy in July, 1830. He and his wife had returned to New York before 1850. The census of that year shows him as a grocer, with real estate valued at $4000, living with his family in the first district of the Eighth ward. The removal certifi- cate from Chappaqua was not granted from the Hicksites till 8 mo. 14, 1851; Amy was then a minister in the Friends' meeting. The Hicksite records show that they returned to Chappaqua 10 mo. 6, 1852. Their sons Valentine and Joshua remained in New York, Joshua returning 1 mo. 1854; Valentine's name had already begun in 1848 to ap- pear in the New York city directory and he remained in town. Mrs. Amy Quinby died at Chappaqua 4 mo. 10, 1872, and administration was granted on her estate, 2 Sept. 1872, to Joshua S. Quinby (White Plains, Surrogate's rec. lib. M, p. 254). Isaiah H. Quinby died 11 mo. 17, 1874, says a family rejc'ord, but the Friends' record says, "aged Sly. 11m. 12d." Their gravestones in the Friends' ground at Chappaqua say: "Isaiah Quinby, died 18 Nov. 1874, aged 81y. 11m. 13d.; wife Amy S. died 10 mo. 4, 1872, aged 74y. 8m. 19d." A proceeding took place in the Sur- rogate's court a quarter of a century later to prove his will, made 1873, as a lost will; and 9 May, 1898, letters testamentary were granted to Martha Quinby. His prop- erty was left to his sons Joshua and Valentine (lib. 131, p. 362). The children of Isaiah H. jQuinby were: 1245. I. Joshua Sutton' Quinby, born 3 mo. 31, 1822 (see); 1246. II. Valentine H.« Quinby, born 1827 (see); III. Sarah Jane' Quinby, born 1 mo. 10, 1829, died 9 mo. 23, 1835, aged 6y. 8 mo. 13d. at Newcastle (Fr. re). 594. AzAEiAH Rowland' (William", Josiah^, Moses*, Josiah^, John^, William^) born 4 Sept. 1797, at Newcastle, Westchester county, N. Y. He went to Oblong, Dutchess county, with his family 8 mo. 14, 1818, and removed to New York city 5 mo. 11, 1826. The Chappaqua meeting granted a clear certificate to him in September, 1826, to remove to Wilmington, Delaware. He succeeded his bro- ther Josiah in the dry goods business in New York city in 1828, and was located at 155 Chatham st. In 1829 he 344 The Quinbt Familt was at 400 Pearl st. At the time of the separation be^ tween the Orthodox and Hicksite Quakers in 1828, he was a member of the New York Monthly Meeting of the latter sect. He removed to Chappaqua again 4 mo. 9, 1830. He married probably about 1839-40, Mary Ann, daughter of John and Elizabeth ("Ella") Montgomery of Wilming- ton, Delaware, and Chappaqua removal certificates to Wil- mington are dated 5 mo. 6, 1846, and 1 mo. 5, 1848. From a law case reported in 2 Harrington, 141, it ap- pears that between 1^35 and 1839^ Azariah was in the lumber business, and won a suit for the price of lumber sold by John Montgomery, Quinby's agent, to one William Boyd. Again, in the suit of Azariah H. Quinby vs. J. W. Duncan (4 Harr. 383) we find that Mr. Quinby sued B. M. Hyatt and Duncan gave bond for the latter 8 May, 1843; Mr. Quinby won his suit and entered judgment. Hyatt didn't pay, and Mr. Quinby sued Duncan, but he lost it through a technicality. Azariah H. Quinby died 2 mo. 26, 1877. Children, born at Wilmington, Del.: I. Ella* Quinby, born 24 May, 1841; married William Henry Weeks of Wilmington; she died 2 Jan. 1892; II.

JoHN^ (William", Josiah^, Moses*, Josiah*, John^, William^) born 3 mo. 16, 1803, in New York state; lived at Newcastle, Westchester county; married there 11 mo. 20, 1823, Esther, daughter of John Hunter. The Quaker record says: "marr. int. 10, 9 and 11, 13, 1823; rept. ace. 12, 11, 1823." The Friends' records note certificates of removal of John, his wife Esther and their daughter Mary Jane from Chappaqua 5 mo. 8, 1828. The Hicksite record of removal gives 8 mo. 14, 1828. They were disowned by the Orthodox Friends for joining the Hicksites, she in Aug- ust, 1830; John was disowned in September. John Quin- by's name appears first in the New York city directories in 1827, as at 167 Wooster st., at which address he re- mained until 1833. In that year, as we see on the Hick- site register, he returned to Chappaqua 4 July, 1834. Mrs. Esther Quinby was born 8 mo. 7, 1805, died 1 mo. 17, 1876; John Quinby died 9 mo. 24, 1880.

He was a surveyor, and the census of 1850 shows him living at Newcastle. He had no childreln by his first marriage. He married second, after 1850, Annie Crawford. He died 6 mo. 1875 (says Mrs. Beebe). Children : I. AcT0« Quinby; II. JuviNiA* Quinby. Note. — This family is mentioned in Bolton's History of Westchester. No record of these wierdly named children, who I believe were girls, has come to light. 597. TkoMAS' (William', Josiah^, Moses*, Josiah^, John'', William^) born 31 Aug. 1813, in Westchester county; married Susan Ann, daughter of Gilbert and Sarah A. (Carpenter) Hunter; she was born 8 Mar. 1841, died 6 Oct. 1888. The census of 1850 shows him as a farmer at Newcastle, Westchester county, with real estate worth at least S3500. William H. Quinby has written some very interesting remin- iscences of his father, from which I take the following: "Until about twenty years ago, some of the Quinby family lived on part of the farm in Westchester county, N. Y., belonging to William Quinby, which also belonged to his father, and I suppose was part of the original grant, back about 168^^ About 1850 Isaiah, John, Moses and Thomas owned adjoining farms, all parts of the old homestead aind extending over a mile on both sides of the road leading west from Mount Kisco toward Sing Sing, (now Ossining) and commencing with my father's place, about one and one-half miles west of Mt. Kisco. The original Quinby owned much more 346 The Qthnby Family adjoining land) and I remember my father telling that when his grandfather died he left the land to his father, William, on con- dition that he pay the sisters and half sisters, six in all, a certain sum and that this put him heavily in debt, or as they called it, 'land poor,' so that when he divided up what land he had left among the four sons above named, who lived side by side, they in turn had to pay a good sum to each of the two sisters as well as the two older brothers, who had married earlier. One of these, Josiah, lived at Quaker Hill, Dutchess county, and the other, Azariah, lived at Wilmington, Delaware. Soon after I was born, my father took seventy acres from the old place on the north side of the road; and when I was three years old, we moved into the house he had built at the top of the hill, east of the old home- stead, which latter had been built long before the Revolution. I do not know what he paid for the land, but I very distinctly remember that each year on the first day of May he had to pay about $100 interest on the mortgage to a man named White, living up north of Croton lake. This $100 had to be raised year after year until the farm was sold in 1865. It was a rocky, hilly farm and try as we would, we could never make any impression on that debt and it became a horror to have such a load to carry, for which I have always been very thankful, for I have ever since feared a debt as I would the plague. "My father (Thomas' Quinby) was a birthright member of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, and was very devoted to them, and a regular attendant at the Chappaqua meeting until they started a meeting at Mt. Kisco, which was less than half the dis- tance. He was a great admirer of Jacob and Lucretia Mott of Philadelphia, who often preached at their meetings. He never traveled far from home, occasionally to New York to attend yearly meeting and visit our relatives, or the Quarterly meeting at Amawalk or Portchester. This was as far away as he ever got except once, when with his brother Moses, he went 'out west' to Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, and rafted dbwn the Susquehanna river. When I was fifteen he was badly injured by cutting his foot with an axe and after that was never able to do very much work, and so the oldest boy had to fill the place the best he could." He died 3 Mar. 1891, says a family record; the official record has been "copied for me as 3 mo. 30, 1891. Children: (born at Mt. Kisco, Westchester county, N. Y.) : 1250. I.

' (Moses I. «, Isaiah «, Moses S Jo- siah^ John^, William^) born 10 mo. 29, 1817, at Chappaqua, Westchester county, N. Y. He married Mrs. Catherine (Eagle) Wilcox (born 1800 says census of 1850). The Hicksite records mark him "from Chappaqua 11 mo. 1832; disowned 8 mo. 1837," no doubt for nonconformity. In 1850, they lived with "Isaiah F." (presumably miscopy for Josiah) aged 13, in the 14th ward. New York city, says the census, which adds that then he was a dealer in hides. Walter U. Quinby appears first in the New York city directories in 1840, as a grocer in Bank street, living at 10 Bleecker street; in 1841 his store was at 28 Howard street, his home at 547 Pearl street. The following year he had evidently gone out of the grocery business and was utilizing the remains of his stock keeping a boarding house at 27 Cortlandt street, and the Underbill Quinby who ap- pears in the directory in 1843-45 is probably the same; he is called a "carman," at 224 West 17th street. In 1852 he is a bookkeeper for his brother George W. in the hide business at 193 Elizabeth street, and the following year was taken into the business, living over the store. They had also a place of business in 39th street near Eleventh avenue in 1854 and 1855. That year George W. Quinby retired from business. Walter U. Quinby carried it on to 1866 at the same address. He live4 a-* various addresses; 1856-9 at 192 Elizabeth street; 1860, 135 E. 31st street; 1861-2, 697 Broadway; 1863, 221 Tenth avenue. His last appear- ance in the New York city directory is 1866. Bolton's History of Westchester county, p. 730 and chart opp. p. 706, contain numerous errors, as does a MS. chart belonging, 1911, to Abram J. Quinby of Chappaqua, which has probably been copied by many; it erroneously gives Walter U. Quinby as William, and his grandfather as Isaac instead of Isaiah, and adds children Mary J., Aaron J., and George W., omitting Francis W. Walter U. died 1 Feb. 1909, "aged 66," at New Roch- elle, N.

He appears first in the New York city directory in 1882 as 'agent,' 111 W. 12 street. 599. Gkokge W. ' (Moses I. «, Isaiah ^ Moses *, Jos- iah*, John^, William^) born 9 mo. 27, 1822, probably at New York city. He married Hannah, born 1828, in New York, daughter of Scott Bowne. In 1843 George W. ap- pears for the first time in the New York city directory, as a clerk in his father's grocery at 31 Jones street. His next appearance is in 1848 as a dealer in hides at 179 Elizabeth street, living with his mothier at 40 Rivington street. The census of 1850 names him as a merchant, living at Flush- ing, but mentions no children. In 1850 he carried on busi- ness at 179 Elizabeth st., as before, but lived at Flushing, where he continued to live. He was certified by the Friends where he continued to live. He was certified by the Friends' Meeting to Flushing 7 mo. 2, 1851 (2 mo. 7, says another record). In 1852 his business address became 193 Elizabeth street and his brother Walter U. ^ Quinby ap- pears that year as his bookkeeper; the following year he was in the hide business at 193 Elizabeth street; they also had a place in 1855 at 39th street near Eleventh avenue. The firm name was then Quinby, Field & Bowne. In 1858 and 1859 the firm continued as Quinby & Field, but no longer. George W. Quinby died at Flushing 3 mo. 24, 1855. His widow, Hannah B., declined 31 Mar. 1855, to administer on his estate in favor of her two uncles, Ben- jamin Bowne and Isaac Hendrickson. His personal prop- erty did not exceed $8000; his widow and one child, Mary Esther, a minor, were his only heirs and next of kin (Queens county records). Children: I. Emily* Quinby; II. Maby Estheb' Quinby, ("Esther") born probably about 1850-4. 600. Aaron J.' (Moses 7. *, Isaiah^, Moses*, Josiah*, John^, William^) born 1828, probably at Chappaqua, West- chester county, N. Y.; went with his family to New York city; married Margaret L. Munson. Aaron J. Quinby's career in New York city is shown by the consecutive directories. He appears there first in 1850 as a wheelwright at 27 East 26th street; his home was at 258 East 25th street. He appears as John in 1852, no doubt his middle name, and is at 134 East 26th street, and in 1853 is Aaron J., wheelwright, at 134 East 26th The Quinby Family 349 street, with his home at 192 Allen street, and continues at those addresses till 1858, when he moved his home nearer his place of business, to 134 East 27th street. These ad- dresses remain to 1866, when his home was removed to Mott Haven, though his business remained at the old ad- dress. In 1864 the name of his occupation was changed in the directory from wheelwright to "wagons" but changed back again in 1866. Conditions were the same in 1870. He had removed his place of business in 1871 to 238 East 26th street, and there continued through 1882. But his residence though no doubt for a long time at the same place, is hardly given twice alike for a dozen years, thus: 1871, Mott Haven; 1872, Westchester; 1873, Mott Haven; 1874, College ave. near 142nd st.; 1875, College ave. corner of Concord st.; 1876, 143d st. near College ave.; 1877, Col- lege ave. near 142nd st.; 1878, Mott Haven; 1879, 143d street near College ave.; 1880, 143d street near 4th ave.; 1881, First ave. corner 120th st.; 1882, 2347 First ave.

He was living 1862 at Warwick, near Locust Mount, Accomac county, Va. In 1892 he and his son Thomas B. were lawyers as Quinby & Quinby at Onan- cock, Va. "Upshur Balderston Quinby, only issue of Aaron Bal- derston and Elizabeth Upshur (Teackle) Quinby, moved from York, Pa., in 1857 to ' Warwick,' a farm near Locust-mount PostofRce, Accomac county, Va. He moved 1 Jan. 1865, from 'Warwick' to Onancock, Accomac county Va., to a place afterwards known as 'The Poplars;' he and his wife lived there continuously, and died there, she in December, 1896, and he in January, 1898" (T. B. Q.). "Upshur's Neck, opposite Broadwater island, about twenty miles north of the entrance to Chesapeake Bay, is the original settlement of the famous Virginia family. Re- cently Col. Thomas T. Upshur presented to Upshur B. Quinby, who now owns the Neck, the original grant by Colonial Governor Spottiswood." (N. Y. Herald, 4 Dec. 1892). Mrs. Georgie C. Quinby lost the sight of one of her eyes in the '80's; and (wrote her husband to a cousin in 1891) has for the past year or so been a sufferer from diabetes which has caused her to become very much re- duced in weight." Upshur B., ' then 50 years of age, wrote to his cousin Mrs. Adelaide M. (Quinby) Swarts in July, 1891: "We like yourself, are comfortably situated, and live in a plain way, without show or parade, surrounded by many home comforts. My wife, next to my dear mother, is the best person I have ever known — a thorough Christian, affec- tionate, kind, thoughtful of others, intelligent, practical and one of the best of housekeepers. Nearly all we own is in real estate — farm property — left by my mother and my wife's father, and some I have bought both before and since my father-in-law's death — and which for the past several years have been rapidly increasing in value. I own the tract of land, or rather the homestead portion of it, which was granted in 1664 to my Upshur ancestor. There are the graves of my ancestors for generations, those of 352 The Qtjinby Family the first Arthur Upshur and Mary his wife, who came from Warwickshire, England." In Jan. 1892, he wrote: "My daughters returned from Europe the last of September. They had not only a delightful but a very instructive trip. After making the regular tour they returned to Paris and spent four weeks. The older is in Richmond, Va., at the head of the musical department of a large female school; the younger is at home. I have never joined any church. My mother was an Episcopalian and I was instructed in its faith, which is about the same as the Methodist. My wife and daughters are members of the Methodist church. My sons are inclined to the Episcopal." Mr. Quinby lives at Tampa, Fla. (1915). Children: I.

This company of six strong men and three women, on reaching St. Joseph, left the boat and proceeded with their teams northward, over the grassy prairies into Iowa, until they reached the Nodaway river, in what is now Page coun- ty, five or six miles of where is now the countyseat, Clarinda, in the region about to be vacated by the Pottowatamie Indians. They built the first house, saw-mill, and grist-mill in the county; perhaps the first in the southwest part of the state. Round about what is now the little old town of Hawleyville, deserted for the smarter town of Clarinda, the county seat on a railroad, they took up claims of land for homes. This was in the spring of 1848, the year before the rush for gold to California. Though adventurous, they were not tempted to join this new stream of emigration. He, Aaron, ran a saw-mill for many years, fed from the groves along the Nodaway. He was for several years among the pines and marshes of Wisconsin, where he died in 1892, and was buried in the Odd Fellows' lot at Tomah, Wisconsin. Except the then young wife, who still lives at the age of 87 on one of the farms by the old stream saw-mill, and perhaps a brother who went several years after to Oregon, they are all dead, having served their day and generation as empire builders." 605.

Thomas* (Moses'', John^, Joseph^, Joseph*, Rob- ert^, Robert'') was born at Stroudwater, Me., 15 Dec. 1813; was educated at Parsonsfield Academy, Maine, and for several terms in his young manhood was a teacher there. He became a civil engineer after studying the science with James Hall, of Portland, and for many years followed that profession. He made the surveys for the Portsmouth, Saco & Portland R. R.; the Atlantic & St. Lawrence R. R. (afterward the Grand Trunk) ; also he was employed in making the surveys for the proposed canal from Moose- head Lake to the mouth of Sebasticook river. About 1840 he made a survey of the city of Portland. He married in 21 June, 1839, Jane Elizabeth, daughter of Dexter and Jane (Frost) Brewer. (A full account of her ancestry in many lines was published in New England Family History). In April, 1841, Thomas Quinby went to Biddeford, Maine, having made a connection with the Saco Water Power Company, which was incorporated in 1837, and in 1852 he was elected the agent or manager of that company. In the first city directory of Biddeford, published as of March, 1856, he is given as president of the Provident Society; director of the Biddeford Bank, clerk (i. e., secre- tary) and land agent of the Saco Water Power Co.; it is also there stated that "valuable specimens have been pre- sented by him to the geological cabinet of the High School." In 1866 he became superintendent of the Portland & Rochester R. R.; he settled the land damages of that road from Alfred to Rochester. This work was concluded in 1872; he returned to his position as agent of the Saco Water Power Company and remained there for the re- mainder of his active career. Mr. Quinby was elected County Commissioner in 1866, which position he resigned about 1869. He was a director 362 The Quinby Family of the Biddeford Savings Bank from its organization until 1870. He was a member of Dunlap Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, and of the York Royal Arch Chapter. He was for at least one term an alderman of Biddeford from ward 6, about 1864. Thomas Quinby died at Stroudwater, Me., 18 June, 1885; Mrs. Jane E. (Brewer) Quinby died at Portland 3 Mar. 1903. Thomas Quinby was a man of unusual intelligence and ability. The following from a newspaper printed at the time of his death indicates the estimation in which he was held by those who knew him. "He remained with the water power company until March, 1885, when he became so ill that he was compelled to retire from business. In everything he undertook he showed himself a man of probity and ability. Mr. Quinby was known by every business man in the two cities, and by most of the prominent men throughout the country. He possessed remarkable abilities, and it has often been said that he understood general engineering and manu- facturing better than any other man in the city. He was _ _ always reckoned at the head of y/ ^ reforms which would in anyway benefit the business and manu- facturing. In social matters he Autograph of Thomas* Quinby was kind and obliging, and was ever ready to furnish financial aid to any deserving object or institution." Mrs. Quinby was one of the most remarkable women of her day and generation. Her education, which began in the public schools at Stroudwater and then at Portland, was continued at the academy at Stevens Plans, Maine, and at the seminary at Framingham, Mass. She early be- came interested in the broad subjects of benefit to the race, and especially to women. She was instrumental in commencing the Women's Christian Temperance Union, the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty t,o Animals, and was active in several an ti- vivisection societies; and was indefatigable in the advancement of equal suffrage. Her work was recognized abroad as well as in this country, and she was made a member of many societies for the advance- ment of those objects. She was a facile and brilliant writer, and the product of her pen for years was an orna- ment to the public press. Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, the National President of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, a life-long friend The Quinby Family 363 of Mrs. Quinby, in a published obituary said: "Mrs. Quinby was one of the founders of the Maine W. C. T. U. As an oflScer, as a member, she was beloved and honored. She was also the friend and protector of those who cannot speak for themselves, having special interest in the Depart- ment of Mercy. Hail and farewell, tender-hearted, true- hearted comrade, now heaven crowned." Of both Mr. and Mrs. Quinby it may truthfully be said that they possessed a wide intellectual horizon, a keen and kindly sense of humor, and a quick and ready sym- pathy which endeared them to an ever broadening circle of friends throughout their busy and helpful lives.

For several years prior to his death he was engaged in no business (Portland Press, 22 Nov. 1887). 364 The Quinby Family The census of 1860 shows him as a resident of Port- land, U. S. Deputy Marshal, owning $6000 in real estate and $1000 in personalty. With him lived his mother, aged 69, and Maria Quinby. He married 25 Oct. 1861, at Port- land, Charlotte Angela, born 1838, daughter of John 0. and Rebecca C. Bartels. Fred Quinby brought suit in the Superior court, Cumberland county, Maine, 1 Dec. 1877, against the Boston & Maine R. Ji. for not keeping their bridge or cross walk in York street, Portland, in repair, causing injury to the plaintiff 30 Dec. 1876. The Supreme Judicial court decided it was not the railroad's duty to keep that particular walk in repair, and the plaintiff was nonsuited (Quinby v. Boston & Maine R. R. Co., 69 Me. 340). Mr. Quinby died 21 Nov. 1887, at Portland, after an illness of not much over twenty-four hours. "He was siezed with a severe attack of colic at noon Sunday (says the Press) and although everything possible was done for him he had not the strength to rally, and died from ex- haustion at 4 P. M. Monday." Mrs. C. Angela Quinby livete (1915) and has for many years lived at her present address, 175 State st., Portland. 789.

George Washington* (Benjamin '', Benjamin «, Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert^) was born 20 Dec. 1810, in the village of Saccarappa, in the town of West- brook, Maine, and died at Augusta, Maine, 10 Jan. 1884, aged 73 years and 21 days. Rev. Geo. W. Quinby passed his schooldays in his native village and in the academies at Parsonsfield and North Bridgeton, Maine. In 1835 he began to preach in Poland, Maine, having previously studied for the Univer- salist ministry with Rev. Zenas Thompson. In 1837 he settled at Livermore, Me., making his home with Israel Washburn, and was ordained that year. He married 26 Dec. 1837, Lucy A. Corliss, of North Yarmouth, Maine. He remained at Livermore three years and North Yar- mouth several years; at Saco, his last settlement in Maine, several years. The first Universalist Society of Haverhill, Mass., extended a call to Rev. Mr. Quinby 12 July, 1840, who declined, (Chase's History of Haverhill, 597). Rev. G. W. Quinby's name appears as at Falmouth, 1841, and in the Biddeford and Saco record in 1842-3 and 1845 as performing marriage ceremonies. From Saco he wepat to Taunton, Mass., thence to Cincinnati, Ohio, as pastor of the first parish in that city. There he purchased of Rev. John A. Gurl^ the Star in the West which he published and edited until 1857. In consequeiice of ill health, occa- sioned by taking, through mistake of a druggist, a poisonous drug, he sold his paper and returned to Westbrook for recuperation. On restoration to health, he supplied vacant pulpits, and in 1859 accepted a call to Middletown, Conn., where his wife died in February, 1859. He married second, 19 Mar. 1861, at Lewiston, Me., Cordelia Adeline, daugh- ter of Ham and Margaret (Ames) Brooks, of Lewiston, Maine. His next settlement was at Melrose> Mass. While there he purchased, in connection with J. M. Usher, the Trumpet, Dr. Whittemorei's paper, and the Freeman, Dr. The Quinby Family 367 Cobb's, which were consolidated, Dr. Cobb serving as theblo^ical editor. In 1864 Mr. Quinby moved to Augusta, Maine, and purchased the Gospel Banner, a denominational weekly paper, which he built up so that it became a very prominent factor in the debomination. He published this paper until 1883, when, on account of failing health, he decided to give up his editorial work, and sold his property and retired from work. He long held a conspicuous place in the ranks of the faithful workers in the Universalist church. As a preacher he was clear, logical and forcible in statement and argument. His work as an editor was characterized by all the intellectual traits which distin- guished the man, and gave him a reputation for readiness, skill and force. He was engaged to supply the Universa- list church at Belfast, Me., from 13 Nov. 1830 (William- son's History of Belfast). (This year must be a misprint). Rev. E. Case of Canaan, Me., described Dr. Quinby as he looked in 1850: "He was tall, slender, and straight as an arrow, and stood perfectly erect. There was a peculiar and striking beauty about the face, the singular expression of which, at the moment, I shall never forget, a certain richness and manly air of noble and unmistakable intellectual energy and determined capability that drew and fixed attention with a peculiar fascination. At least it was so to me. I can see him now just as he stood then. The forehead was high and broad. The brows well arched, the eyes very beautiful arid penetrating; the lips thin and firmly compressed, denoting great energy and decision; the nose straight and har- moniously proportioned, denoting great progressive vigor, the chin broad and well rounded, the head firmly set, and the whole giving token of a noble and exhalted manhood, firm as a rock, strong in its convictions, true as steel and unfaltering in its energies. 'Be sure you're right, and go ahead' was written all over that remarkable face, and all over the man, and his whole after life never for a moment belied it." (Gospel Banner, 18 June, 1884). "Dr. Quinby was an indefatigable worker (continues Rev. Mr. Case). I never saw his equal. From the first streak of daylight until after eleven and sometimes twelve o'clock p. m., when there was work to do, he was in the editorial chair as if he never could get weary and worn. Nothing escaped his attention, from a sermon to a para- graph, from a well-written editorial to a beautiful poem, from a good story to the finest specimens of humor and dazzling wit. Long experience had made him wise as an 368 The Quinbt Family editor. His good sense was solid and remarkable; his judg- ment sound and weighty; his penetration admirable, enabling ing him to detect the weakness and sophistry of an argu- ment at a glance. His satire, when he chose to use that dangerous weapon, was keen and cutting as a scimeter of Aladdin; and his blows when he struck hard, fell like those of the battle-axe of Richard of the Lion Heart. He 'keeked quite through other men with sharpened, sly inspection,' and in the matter of opposing the shameless outrages of the gallows, he was not one man, but twenty men, as his many and mighty contested battles for years past fully avouch." "Dr. Quinby's literary work was by no means con- fined to his paper. He wrote and published several vol- umes, the most famous of which is his argument against capital punishment, published in book form in 1856 under the title of 'The Gallows, the Prison and the Poorhouse, A Plea for Humanity'. He was the ablest opponent of the death penalty in the State, and it is acknowledged that the abolition of the law was due more to him than any other man." As an author he was successful. His book, "The Salva- tion of Christ," has had a large circulation, His best known book was probably " Heaven our Home." List of books written by Rev. George W. Quinby: 1. Fifteen Sermons.

In 1865, however, they settled permanently at 112 Congress street in the business of making and selling musical instruments, Benjamin continuing to live at 339 Fourth street, while George boarded at 89 Summer street. In 1866 the firm name at 112 Summer street was Hall «fe Co- in 1865 they brought their brother, I^eonard C. Quinby to Boston, where they employed him in their instrument factory and he stayed through 1869. In 1865 he boarded at 16 Piedmont street. The fourth brother, John O. Quinby, came to Boston and joined the business, boarding at E street, corner of Sixth and re- mained there through 1866. In 1867 the firm was Hall & Quinby, with George W. as the partner of Hall, and was located at 62 Sudbury street where they remained through 1885. In 1876 the firm became Quinby Bros. with George W. and Benjamin F. as partners. In 1867 Benjamin F. lived at 339 Fourth street, moved to 453 in the* same street the following year, and stayed there till 1873, when he settled at 75 Dennis street and was there in 1879. In 1867 John 0. Quinby lived at 252 E street, but in 1869 he lived at 5 Clapp street and remained there till 1872, when he moved to 46 Gates street. He lived there to 1877 in which year he tried living at Somerville, but moved back to town in 1878 and lived at 87 I street through 1879 and in 1880 moved to Mai- den, where he remained; During this period George W. was having an uncomfortable table experience in Boston boarding houses. In 1807 he was at 40 Chauncy street, 1868-9 at 91 Chauncy street; 1870, at 16 Cam- bridge street; 1871, at Somerville; 1872, at Arlington; in 1873-4 at 6 Stamford street; 1875 at the Merrimac House; in 1876-7 he lived at 75 Dennis street. The Quinbt Familt 375 B. F. Quinby patented a machine for making paper boxes 27 Apr. 1869 (No. 89433). He invented an improvement in military brass instruments 9 Apr. 1872 (No. 125614). Twenty years later 16 May, 1882, he patented a circular brush (No. 258117), and a circular wire saw 6 Apr. 1885 (No. 327720). His next patent was 23 Nov. 1886, a rotary brush for finishing boots and shoes (No. 353038). He patented another invention in connection with the manufacture of rotary brushes 18 Jan. 1887 (No. 356158). Benjamin F. and his brothers gave up the manirfacture of musical instruments about 1884, and went into the making of circular machine shoe brushes at the same address, 62 Sudbury street, and the next year moved to 30 Hanover street, where they stayed to 1890. Benjamin F. went to live at 75 Dennis street in 1880 (wiiere George W. had lived in 1876-7) and stayed there till 1890 when he lived in Woodville st. He died 9 July, 1890, of peritonitis, at 41 Woodville St., Boston. Administration was granted on his estate in 1890 (No. 85604, Suffolk county), and Mrs. B. F.

"In spiritual matters, Capt. Quinby espoused early in life the cause of the Universal Father and supported with a liberal hand the Univei-salist church. In politics he was an original Republican and 1860 was elected County Treas- 376 The Quinby Family urer and re-elected the following year, but vacated the office to take up arms for the preservation of the Union, recruited a company of 103 men, was made a captain of company E, and placed in the 13th regimeiit of Maine Volunteers, commanded by Col. Neal Dow." He was in camp at Augusta when the regiment was rehdezvous'd in 1861 (Me. Adjt. Gen. Rep. 1861, p. 36). The date of his commission as captain was 10 Dec. 1861; he resigned 23 Aug. 1862 (id. 1866, p. 239). The regimejit was assigned to Gen. Benjamin F. Butler's expedition against New Orleans, La.; but the climate there was too severe for his constitution, and he was obliged to return, physicially ex- hausted, a state from which he never fully recovered; but he performed a large amount of business as a conveyancer, land speculator and builder, the appearance of many resi- dences now proving his good taste as a designer. "He was not an enthusiast, rather slow in thought and expression, but he possessed an intuitive knowledge of man which made him a safe counselor, not only for himself but for others." (Deering News, 22 Oct. 1893). Isaac F. Quinby said in a letter to Mrs. Ella F. Beebe, dated Westbrook, Me., 30 Dec. 1893, "I am seventy-five years of age last May. The family moved to Portland when I was seven months, and moved from Portland when about eight years old. I went to school the most of each winter till I was eighteen, work- ing the odd hours for my board, which prevented me from out- right study. I cannot remember when I did know how to use joiner's tools. At nineteen I went to Woburn, Mass., to work at the cabinet business, remaining one year; the business was too confined for me. Consequently I hired out haying that season, and recovered my health. I then went at the joiner business again; at the age of 24 I had built me a house to live in. I con- sidered myself very successful in the business, even more success- ful then many older joiners who were my competitors. I built many houses in our town and the towns around. "I worked in the joiner business until the year 1859, when I was elected County Treasurer of Cumberland county, in which office I served for two years, and declinied a third nomination. I had made up my mind to enlist, although in doing so, at the age of 44, I left a salary of $2200 dollars one year and $2300 another year for service rendered the county, to receive eleven dollars a month instead in the army. When I had fully deter- mined to enlist I gave notice in Portland papers of my intention and called on these who would like to go with me to call before we went into camp at Augusta. I served as a private about two months and a half, and was then appointed Captain of Co. E, Thirteenth regiment of Maine Volunteer Infantry. We went into camp in October, 1861, and broke camp the following February. From the time of my enlistment, which was a week after the first battle of Bull Run, to the time we were ordered to go to the front, was six or seven months. The whole time was thrown away. SOOTSAAC Flys Quinby. ► r ( Isaac Flys Quinsy's Residence, Mechanic Street, Westbrook, Me. The QuiNBY Family 377 In our State alone there were Infantry regiments viz: 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th, the First Maine Cavalry, First Maine Battery and all over the country hundreds of thousands of enlisted men, wait- ing to be ordered to the front and they were held back by de- signing men, whose object was to make themselves prominent for the position of President, by showing themselves to be the great Pacificators; but Providence defeated all of them. "We started for New Orleans under General Butler. I went with him in the same vessel, the steamer Mississippi, and was cast away with him on Fryingpan Shoals. We had sixteen hun- dred men on board and ran on the shoals, it was thought by the treachery of the Captain, in broad daylight about 9 A. M. Soon after entering the fort I was taken sick with swamp fever as it was called. In time it left me very much emaciated, having re- duced me to a hundred and twenty pounds. I have weighed one hundred and eighty-five pounds. The forts are situated in the most unhealthy place I ever saw. I have no doubt it is the most unhealthy place in the United States. Although very much en- feebled by illness I deemed it my duty to go up to New Orleans to headquarters to obtain transportation for such of my men as had been discharged, as well as discharges for those who could be of no use to the Government. I arrived there the next day, and went to headquarters, where I found a column of men four abreast, one hundred and fifty feet long, moving up to be heard. I felt I was not able to take my turn; I felt dreadfully and could go no further. I saw a man just across the street, whom I had seen on ship Island at a Masonic meeting. I told him I was very sick and wanted him to call a carriage. He got in himself with me and went to the Confederate States Hotel. The 12th Maine were quartered there, whose officers I were well acquainted with, and I thought I could get some of them to do my business for me. They were ready to do anything they could. By the time I arrived at the hotel I did not know hardly anything; as they carried me in, I revived sufficiently to know what they were doing. The surgeon examined me and said I had sunstroke, and for five days I did not know anything; and afterwards I had a fever. I believe I had the yellow fever, although Gen. Butler in his book says there was no yellow fever at New Orleans that season. I made an effort to get a furlough, but was told that furloughs would not be granted; the sick would be examined by a board of surgeons, and if they judged a man never could do any more ser- vice for Government, they would give him an honorable discharge. I was examined; they said I could never recover, and about six weeks later I was discharged, and put on board of a steamer to New York and came to Maine. "I was chosen president of the Know Nothmg party for the counties of York and Cumberland, which embrace the first Con- gressional district of Maine. I had a district embracing at least fifty by eighty miles in extent. I commenced in May and travelled till the September election. We carried the election by a large majority; all the senators in both York and Cumberland counties and a large majority of the representatives. "In religion, if I have any, I am a Universalist. I am a Mason, an Odd Fellow, Son of Temperance, a Temperance Watch- man, a Good Templar. These are all secret societies. I belong 378 The Quinby Family to the Grand Army and the Sons of the Revolution. My poli- tical ideas started when I was very young, when mother explained to me the meaning and the result of intemperance and from that to the present I have been strictly temperate. "You will understand that my politics have never deviated one hair from their first position, for in the year '49 the Demo- cratic convention held to the same principles which were adopted by the Republican party at their organization without crossing a t or dotting an i."

Joseph Bailey* {Joseph'', Joseph^, Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert^) born 14 Mar. 1823, at Saccarappa, Me. "He taught school, studied for the ministry, became a photographer, went to Cuba, and was at Matanzas in 1849; he encouraged a revolution thete, and fled for his life to New Orleans, where he became editor, writer, and poet." "He had a b§3,utiful country home at Biloxi, Miss., and kept a book store in New Orleans. The people, knowing that he was opposed to secession, made it disagreeable for him, and finally he was warned in the night by a friend that affairs were becoming serious and that it was not safe for him to remain longer. He fled to Cincinnati, which he reached with only a hundred dollars left of all his possessions. He was fortunate to get away when he did, as the train which carried him and his family was the last to be allowed through the Northern lines. He thereafter served in the Federal army. He had married Annie, daughter of John William and Elizabeth (Johnston) Laurie, then Mrs. Haven. While in Cincinnati she was editor and publisher of a Woman's rights paper. Mr. Quinby was editor of the Cincinnati Times and of the Newport (Ky.) Leader. He and his wife took a copy- right 30 Mar. 1872, on the Weekly Campbell County Leader. Mr. Quinby afterward lived at Dayton, Ky., was one of the three original members of the Union League and died at Dayton. In a letter to Mrs. Ella R. Beebe dated from Dayton, 4 Jan. 1886, he says: "Personally, I am somewhat ambitious and have taken upon myself the task of writing a book in blank verse on theology — directly antagonistic to Milton, Pollock, &c.

The page is as follows: "The true religion has its ends and aims, And high and glorious and sublime are they, Transcendently sublime, beyond compare. Uplifting man and glorifying good; Proclaiming liberty, and love and law True liberty — or right to think and act As conscience guides, in every mooted scheme Advanced to elevate, improve mankind. In morals, science or mechanic arts, Philosophy, religion, or the law: Whereby aspiring man may higher rise, May mean reach toward eternal truth; Whereby the right, for its own sake alone. All, all shall seek, and practice and obey; Wherein pure love, divine, celestial love Shall have full sway and purify the heart. Where light Supernal light, shall brightly shine. And visions ope to man divinely fair. Of scenes Elysian, in spirit realms: Where truth and love and righteousness abide — And purity and concord sweetly reign: Where fear no meaning hath, no place, no use, For love all perfect, driveth fear away: Where love to God; and love to man prevail.

My mother, Annie Laurie, was born in Covent Garden, London, England, May 31, 1830. Her father was an artist, especially a scenic painter. They came to this country when she was a very little girl, I believe about seven years old. I remember her saying that they occupied four months coming over in a sailing vessel. She was married and had four children, when she was left a widow. Some time after that my father came upon the scene. In all she was the mother of thirteen — five girls and eight boys. I was the tenth one of that brood. "My mother used to tell me that she took me as an infant in arms to one of the first, if not the first, woman suffrage con- ventions, held in the United States. It was in the city of New York. She and my father then went to visit his old home at Portland, Maine, where he was born March 14, 1823. 380 The Quinbt Family "My father was an old time newspaper man, in the days when a reporter on a paper was expected to have some qualifica- tions for editorial opinions, and when he was expected to frame up news with some degree of judgment and honesty, regardless of in- dividual financial interests. He was at one time on the old Cin- cinnati Times, a great paper during the days of the Civil War, but now degenerated. I remember clearly both the old Tiyies and the Star before they were consolidated. Then he published on his own account at Cincinnati, the National Banner, which was a radical Union cause paper during the dark days of the rebellion. After the war was over, and the apparent cause for its being died away as the fruits of that great war of emancipation and Union ripened, the paper ceased to be. Then followed some very dark days to which I have heretofore alluded. Father started then the Leader over in Newport, opposite Cincinnati, but somehow did not do very well with it. Like many of the old abolitionists, perhaps, the vital spark in him had somewhat vanished. He could not write, just like so many of the old veterans whose bitter experiences of the rebellion remained with them, except in the terms of that bloody, fratricidal strife. Of course those who en- gaged in that awful struggle had their feelings much wrought on both sides. They were therefore excusable for those old animosi- ties. They had a reason that none of their children had had. "I must tell you that both of my parents, before coming to Cincinnati, had been residents of New Orleans, and both had been abolitionists down there. They were there when the re- bellion broke out, and thinking things too hot for them went to Cincinnati, with six small children. "My father continued to print the Leader for some ten years, or nearly so, when he suspended, selling what good will it had to the Kentucky State Journal. Then it was that my mother resumed the field of publication, issuing a little paper called the Aegis, devoted exclusively to the cause of. woman suffrage. So, you see, how I came from a family of pioneers in these great movements in the forwarding of mankind. She printed that, while father went into the government service, and several of us boys worked a small job printing plant. That paper, poor little mother printed at her own expense, for there was no way in which it could pay its way, in those pioneer days of the movement. Even the women who would give an ear to it, were very few. My father remained in the goverment service until the adVent of the Cleveland admin- istration, when in 1885, being a staunch Republican, he was let out. But before his dismissal he had begun to decline in health, and he lingered in a state of partial paralysis for about four years, when he died on the 15th of September, 1889. "Dear old Dad. I have often thought how near akin his was to the character of Jean Valjean. In those days in which I knew him best, he seemed to me only the embodiment of gentle- ness, of kindness, of devotion, of less and less of the fighting spirit, more inclined to self-abnegation, of self-sacrifice and love. I re- member many^a day, though I could not understand it fully then, that he would refrain from eating a lunch with us boys in the print shop, for those lunches consisted mainly in a bowl of soup and a few crackers, or such victuals. And I know that many a time when he said to us, 'Help yourselves, boys, I am not hun- The QmNBY Family 381 gry today/ he was only trying to make us feel at ease, as we greedily consumed what there was. "Yes, dear old dad. If in the course of the life of the soul of man the traits you so richly showed are ever esteemed worthy of supernal reward, your glory shall be triumphant and luminous- winged. Yes, if love shall eventually know its full reward, your cup shall run over, for I remember the glance of your mild and loving eye, the gentle caressing of your kindly hand, the tender mellowness of your voice that was as full of the milk of human kindness as ever issued from the mouth of man or woman either. From those heights to which I believe noble men do soar look down with that benignant smile of yours, which I may see only through my tears, look down now upon your devoted son, and let that beaming be his inspiration as along this path of life he treads. Let its light so shine upon him that when he too shall have reach- ed that age when the things of earth may not cling so closely about him, as now they do, its argent rays may pass through him to beam upon the joyous life of childhood with that same efful- gent glory that he knew when golden locks encircled his own head."

In 1861, as a resident of Casco, Me., he volunteered and was mustered into the 10th regi- ment, Co. I, Maine Volunteer Infantry ('61 Me. Adj. Gen. Rep. 461); was taken prisoner 25 May, 1862, and released on parole ('62 id. D 289) and mustered out with his regi- ment 7 May, 1863 ('63 id. 362). He was again mustered by the Provost Marshal at Portland, Me., 11 Apr. 1864, for a three-year term, 8th regt. Infantry ('64 id. 815, 877). He was discharged for disability from Co. F 8th Regt., 20 May, 1865 ('64 id. D 1042; '66 id. 49). He appears to be the Charles H. who was married at Casco, Me., by M. S. Eastman, J. P., to Susan P. Ballard. He was married second, at Lynn, Mass., by Rev. Ray- mond F. Holway, 8 Sept. 1883, (18th, says Mrs. McLean) to Mrs. Lucy Vernettie (Titus) Randall, former wife of Charles Randall of Auburn, Me., and daughter of John and Betsy Jane (Clark) Titus; she was born 4 Dec. 1846, at Methuen, Mass., and died 11 June, 1896, at Waldo, Fla. They lived at, Lynn, Mass., till 1888, in which year their residence was 431 Chestnut st. That year they went to Waldo, Florida, where they lived till Mrs. Quinby's death. After his wife's death he was admitted, 1897, to the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, at Togus, Me., and died there 26 Feb. 1907. Children: I. Lena Vernettie » Quinby, born 29 June, 1884, at Lynn, Mass.; she was an actress in 1898, living at the Hotel Pelham in Boston, where also lived William Hadley, aged 28, widower, an actor, born at Mt. Carmel, 111., son of William and Mary (Cavanaugh) Hadley; Lena — who is called Leon a in some records — and William were married at Boston by Henry C. Stimson, J. P., 4 June, 1898. She was living at 5 Lander Ave., Lynn, when she was married by Rev. Charles Tilton at Lynn, 31 Dec. 1905, to James R. L. McLean, aged 33, steamfitter, living at 41 Mulberry st., Lynn; born in Nova Scotia, son of James R. L. and Melinda (Bissett) McLean; lives (1913) at 25 Rockview Ave., South Peabody, Mass., and has a child, Ethel Lillian, born at Lynn, 18 Mar. 1907. Mrs. McLean has confirmed many of the foregoing dates, which are all from town records. 1479. II. Chahles William Johnson' Quinby, born 3 May, 1888 (see). Note.— One Charles or Charles H.'s intention of marriage with Mary Fields was recorded 25 Apr. 1874, at Portland, Me., but I find no record of marriage. The Massachusetts records are erroneous in the name.» and parent- age of this family in many cases. Mrs. Lucy V. had four children by Charles Randall, of whom Alfred C, of Revere, Mass., and Effie J. Burdett of Haver- hill, Mass., are living (1913). 384 The Quinbt Family 805. Nathan' (Levi'', Nathan'^, Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert^) born 26 Nov. 1812, at Searsport, Me. He went into the tinware business with one Currier, and afterwards with one Lamprey conducted a stove and tin- ware business at Searsport and had a foundry which is said to be still at Searsport; his sign there gives his name Quinby, but some of his descendants spell with an m. He married Margaret Gordon Cook, daughter of Hezekiah Cook of Casco, Me., and lived there awhile. Nathan died at Searsport, Apr. 1850, and was buried in the lot of Marg- aret J. Quinby in Evergreen cemetery, Westbrook, says the Portland record, and we find a deed to her of such a lot recorded 9 May, 1870. She married 30 Apr. 1856, at Portland, Samuel Bragdon of Windham, Me., In 1874 she appears in the Boston, Mass., directory as Margaret J. Quinby, widow; home, 4 Kingston st., Charlestown, Mass. She died at 11 Baldwin st. there, after 36 hours' suffering from strangulated hernia, 28 Feb. 1889, aged 74y. 8m. 2d., and her death at Charlestown, Mass., is also re- corded at Portland.

He seems to have been married at Old Town, Me., 20 Oct. 1843, by Esquire Samuel Hersey, to Miss Mary Hodgkins, both of Old Town (Bangor re). How- ever, his son Frank H. mentions only his mother (wife of Luther F.,) Rachel S., daughter of Enoch and Betsy Col- son. She lives 1911 with her son Frank H., at 23 Bennoch Road, Stillwater, Me. In 1860 the census shows Luther," his wife Racliel, aged 30, and children Albert, Franklin and Mary V., attending school, at old Town, Penobscot county. Me.

The registry of deeds at Bangor, Me. shows that he was frequently grantor and grantee of real estate. Children: I. Mary V. » Quinby, born about 1853; died 18 May, 1896, aged 43 years. The Orono, Me., records give the above Mary V. as party to an intention filed there 3 July, 1871, of marriage to Henry H. Finn of Orono, he aged 22, she of Old Town, aged 20; from relatives I learn that she did not marry this suitor and it would seem from Bangor real estate records that she married one Lyshon and lived at Lewiston, Me.; 1484.

William J.* (Hiram ', Nathan ', Benjamin ^ Jo- seph*, Robert^, Robert^) born 1832, lived at Old Town, Me. He appears on Bangor records as grantee and grantor of real estate with his brother Luther F. to and from Moses Averill of Old Town. He joined with Luther F. in a con- veyance to William Jameson, recorded 2 Sept. 1851; and with Luther and John J. to John H. Hilliard of Old Town, recorded 2 June, 1858. A license issued 14 May, 1859, appears on the records there, to marry Elvira Lancaster, and- he is stated to have been a married man when he was mustered into company D, 14th regiment, Maine Volun- teers 1 Feb. 1862 (Me. Adj. Gen. Rep. 1862 p. D, 404). In the report of the following year (p. 444) he is stated to be in the regimental commissary department, 15 Nov. 1863. He was discharged 18 Jan. 1865 (id. 1864, p. 1374). I have no further information as to him or his family, ex- cept that he is said to have died in California in 1905. 808. John Jameson' (Hiram ', Nathan «, Benjamin =, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert'') born 1837 at Old Town, Me., and lived there during his early years. He married at Bucksport, Me., 20 Nov. 1856, Ann T. Averill, born 1837, at Orono, Me., daughter of Robert and Catherine T. (Allen) Averill. In 1860 the census shows him living at Old Town with Robert A., age 2 mos. John J. was then in the lumber business, and an owner of real estate. He appears frequently on the county real estate records at Bangor between 1854 and 1869. He joined the army, being mustered 11 Dec. 1861, as second sergeant, company OS) 386 The Quinbt Family D, 14th regiment of Maine Volunteers. (Me. Adjut. Gen.

He was stationed with company D at Vermillion Bayou, La., 15 Nov. 1863 (1863 id. p. 443). His rank as first lieutenant was dated 1 May, 1863 {id. p. 445) but his promotion as such was 1 Sept. 1863; and he was promoted captain 13 Mar. 1865, of company B; must- ered out 28 Aug. 1865 {id. 1864, I. A, p. 1111-2). He re- ported as commander of company B, Battalion of the 14th regiment, dated 25 Mar. 1865, from Savannah, Ga. {id. D, 488). For some years following his return to private life, he was superintendent of the European & North American car shops at Mattawamkeag. He was also successfully engaged for many years in trade in Stillwater. He went to the Soldiers' Home at Togus, Me., in September, 1909, for treatment for physical ailments, and died there 27 Oct. following, of "stenosis of mitral valve of heart." His obituary notice in the local paper said: "In the death of Capt. Quimby we have lost from our midst a man of ster- ling integrity whom men respected for the soundness and shrewdness of his judgment. At the same time his sunny disposition and genial manner drew about him and held as lifelong friends men of character and worth. As the kind- est of neighbors, the most devoted of husbands, the staunch est of neighbors, we loved and honored him." His widow died at the home of her brother, Nathan Averill 23 Oct. 1912, at Stillwater. 809.

Benjamin Franklin* (Moses ^ Moses «, Benjamin S Joseph*, Robert'', Robert^) born 28 June, 1828, at Saccarappa now Westbrook, Maine. He married 7 Jan. 1849, Almedia Hobson Cobb, daughter of Andrew and Elizabeth (Mc- Kenney) Cobb, of Bridgeton, Me. They removed to Cali- fornia, where Mrs. Quinby died 19 Aug. 1913, at their home 815 Mallard st., Los Angeles. She was about eighty- six years of age; Mr. Quinby says: "For nearly nine months she was almost entirely helpless but her wondeWul vitality enabled her to cling to life, which she loved, until every faculty and function was entirely disabled." At my insistent request (deploring the loss of family records and heirlooms in two fires) Mr. Quinby wrote me a brief auto- biographical sketch, in which he says he "was educated in the common schools of those times, finishing in a grammar school. In early boyhood he showed natural genius for the making of windmills for weather vanes, running of triphammers, waterwheels for sawing potatoes, instead of wood; constructing bowguns, very shapely, the envy of his mates; made the first one he ever saw discharge with a trigger, and became a good shot. At the age of about ten his father bought him a real gun, taught him how to load and shoot, wild-pigeons, other birds and squirrels were his victims. He shot neither himself or other humans, though a crabbed old neighbor seeing him returning home across his mown field, ordered him, with a raised club to 'get out', the 3^oungster aimed his gun with the threat that he would shoot if the owner came nearer, which he did not, so the hunter went home without a scalp. "On the completion of his last term of grammar school, his father then building a home, put him in with the carpenters to work; he acquitted himself well, invented a new corner finish for the doors and windows of the parlor, which was approved, and he made and placed them; he drew a new shape for the top finish of pickets in the enclosing fence which was approved, and he made them and helped build the new style fence. His father had be- come a carriage manufacturer of some note, and he put his son, then seventeeh years of age, into the woodworking department, building buggy bodies. He erected a workbench, constructed a number of the peculiar tools required, meantime watching every movement of the skilled bodymakers, then went to work and finished duplicates of their work. In time more help was needed in the painting department and soon he was doing good work there; he gave attention to ornamentation, such as small animals, birds, flowers, etc., and made good progress. When twenty years and six months of age, he married Almedia H. Cobb of Bridgeton, Me. Having undertaken business with his father without capital, his share of the profits proved too small for his requirements, so after a year's partnership he started out for himself as painter and ornamenter, worked hard, and changed from one place to another as prospects seemed better. When about twenty-six years of age, his health failed suddenly; one side was paralyzed, — he was entirely unconscious, his physician, a friend, worked vigorously on him for hours before he could start blood; when that flowed Edwin Howard Beach, marrieil Sarali Emily" Qiiinby (photo. b3' Moore, Spriiijjfield, Mass.)

The QmNBY Family 389 he slept; he woke late next morning, bloody, but clear mentally and wondering. His doctor and his wife then informed him of his close call; his friendly doctor gave him his professional opinion that the cause was too close confinement and the poisonous effects of dry white lead, used in his business, and he said, 'you must quit it entirely; do something that will keep you in the open air to save your life, or avoid a condition worse than death'. Hard advice for an ambitious young man with a very dear little family; but he took his medicine, — the doctor prescribed no other. He sold his business, yielding a good income for the times, at a loss. Fond of horses, by the help of good friends, he purchased a four- horse stage line, eight miles twice daily, two coaches, two teams of horses, thirty-two miles daily, Sundays excepted; he mounted the box and drove, with the exception of a few days, for two and one-half years, and regained his health fully, so that he was stronger than ever. Then he sold out, better physically and thank- ful, but not better financially. He took up various enterprises, such as the shoe business; government inspector of small arms during the civil war; superintendent of an emery mine, the pro- duct of which was much used in the making of guns; then he fitted up a beautiful drug store. After a time he brought to jus- tice a dishonest clerk with $400 worth of his employer's goods in his possession. He took back the goods and forgave the young man; closed out the business to become superintendent of a large iron works, acceptably, on a good salary. He was coaxed out of it by persistent offers, until the offers more than doubled his then salary, to go into life insurance, but did not like it, and resigned. He then undertook the business management of a large dentistry firm in England, and in odd hours practiced successfully, though with- out a diploma; it was in those days no law breaking however. His family could not live in England, so after three years he re- signed and came home; became salesman for an extensive carriage manufactory, and travelled largely in the west and northwest, again all the time absent from home. His family and himself did not enjoy that, so he resigned to become general agent for a popular encyclopedia and school appliance manufacturing firm, and continued in that until retirement from active business, some twelve years since. "The subject of this sketch has had an eventful life; thrown out of his chosen sphere by an unusual attack of disability for one so young in years, he has been led into changes which would have appalled one less optimistic and confident of his many sidedness. He has been wonderfully guided through it all; blessed with a dear wife and children whose faith in him has always been a tower of strength, he can never be less than devoted to them while life lasts. He and his good wife will have completed sixty-four years together on the 7th day of January, proximo, at the ages of eighty-five and eighty-four years respectively."

Wareham Morse* {Harvey ', Benjamin % Ben- jamin^, Benjamin*, Robert^, Robert^) born 12 Oct. 1832, at Strafiford, Vermont. He married Eloise Gibson. Wareham M. Quimby appears first in the Boston city directory in 1854 as a bookkeeper at 56 North street; in 1855 at 22 Milk street, boarding at 10 Crescent place; in 1856, he was boarding at 10 Green street. Next year he joined Munroe T. » Quimby (see) who was in business with John Flanagan under the firm name of Quimby, Flanagan & Co. in the fancy goods line at 20 Milk street, and boarded The Quinby Family 401 at the City Hotel, the next year 1858, at 21 Irving street; in 1859, 16 Chambers street; 1862, at 33 Allen street; in 1863, 30 Green street; that year he is called clerk at 14 Hanover street; it is his last appearance for twenty years in the Boston directory, for he went to New York city. In 1865 his cousin 1508Munroe T. « Quimby entered the jewelry business in New York city, and in 1868, W:areham M. joined him at 171 Broadway, under the firm name of Quimby, Smith & Co. The directory gave his home as Massachusetts, until 1871, when he lived at the National Hotel. The following year his place of business was 196 Broadway and remained there until 1877, when it was at 737 Broadway for a year; in 1878 it was at 907 Broadway and its last address was at his home, 22 East 20th street in 1879, which is the last year his name appeared in the New York directories. His cousin and partner, Monroe T. Quimby, appeared last in the directory of 1873. The firm was Quimby & Co., 1871 to 1878. During Wareham Quimby's residence in New York city, whidh was from 1871 to 1878, he had a hard time suiting himself with a dwelling place, for from the National Hotel in 1871, he moved to 314 W. 28th street in 1872; 236 West 25th street in 1873; 327 West 29th street in 1874; 125 West 11th street in 1875; 119 West 11th street in 1876. In 1877 he was at 22 East 20th street, where he re- mained to 1879. In 1883 we find him back in Boston at the old firm address, 14 Hanover st., which he had left to others for twenty years; he lived in Charlestown. The next year he roomed at 49 Pinkney st. in Boston; the next year he roomed at 13 Joy st.; in 1886 at 46 Hancock st.; in 1887-8 at 18 Chambers st.; in 1889 to 1893 at 7 Hanson street, his longest residence anywhere. What a life! In 1891 he went to clerking it at 364 Washington street and continued through 1893, the last time his name appears. 835.

When Luman came to Boston he was tl^irty years old. He lived the first years at 11 Vine street, but in 1868 moved his residence to 93 Revere street, where he stayed to 1870. That year he tried 47 Chambers street, the next year, 67 Chambers street, and in 1872-3 he lived in Chelsea. The next year he tried Melrose for the year, then returned to Chelsea, where he remained till his death in May, 1883. In 1880 he was a member of the firm of M. T. Quimby & Co., and the place of business continued at 14 Hanover st. The foregoing is from the Boston city direc- tories. Luman V.

Francis Levi' (Benjamin ', Benjamin *, Jona- than'', Benjamin*, Robert^, Robert'') born 25 Dec. 1827, at West Unity, N. H.; married by Rev. Silas Quimby at Claremont, N. H., 22 May, 1849, to Lydia, daughter of Amos and Huldah (Greene) Johnson of Weare, N. H., born 8 Jan. (or June), 1825. "Her parents were Quakers, hence she was of that faith at the time of her marriage. She later joined the Methodist church, of which her husband was a member. She was a woman of superior quality of mind and great force of character, thus bearing evidence of her worthy ancestry." "Francis L. Quimby was educated at the district schools and at Milo academy," says the Biographical Re- view of Sullivan and Merrimac counties, N. H. (1897), p. 203; "at a very early age he began to assist his father on the farm. Since succeeding to its possession, he has man- aged it ably and with good results, and is considerably in- terested in the raising of stock. He is a Republican, and has served four years as Selectman. He is a member of Unity Grange No. ^30, Patrons of Husbandry since its organization, and he and his wife are members of West Unity M. E. church, of which he is steward, trustee and collector, and Mrs. Quimby teaches in the Sunday school." They lived in West Unity till they moved to Claremont in 1899. May 25, 1899, Mr. and Mrs. Quimby celebrated their golden wedding in the same house where they began their married life. One of their sons came twelve hundred miles in order to be present at the rare anniversary, and, as it proved to be, the last meeting of the children in their old home; for a few weeks later witnessed the removal of their parents from the farm in West Unity to the new home in Claremont village. Mrs. Quimby died at Clare- mont, after two or three weeks' illness from cerebral haem- orrhage, 21 May, 1906. The Manchester (N. H.) Union (Mar. 1910) said of Mr. Quimby, "Glorious, invigorating New Hampshire! There's Francis L. Quimby of Claremont, for example, who fells trees, loads them upon sleds, teams them home, and cuts them up into firewood in winter, and tills the soil at a good profit in summer. Mr. Quimby is 82 years old — an age at which people raised in the enervating climates of Kennebec county, Me.; Hampden county, Mass.; Frank- lin county, Vt.; and of Texas, South Carolina, Virginia and Alabama, admit that they are fit only to sit with folded hands in the chimney corner, toasting their shins and wait- ing for Gabriel to sound reveille."

He is always ready to bear his share of public burdens, and has been honored with various offices of trust by the citizens of his native town. He is a Methodist, and at the time of his removal from Unity had been an official in the church for fifty years. At an advanced age he is still young in heart and takes an active interest in whatever movements make for righteousness in civic affairs and for the advance- ment of God's kingdom in this world."

Silas Everard* {Silas ', Benjamin *, Jonathan ', Benjamin*, Robert^, Robert) born 19 Oct. 1837, at Haver- hill, N. H., and for the succeeding sixteen or eighteen years lived successively at the eight or nine villages in New Hampshire where his father held Methodist pastorates. He then fitted for college at the New Hampshire Metho- dist Conference Seminary and graduated in 1859 from West- leyan University at Middletown, Conn., a Phi Beta Kappa man. He immediately took the professorship of Greek and mathematics at the Newbury seminary in Vermont, and held this position from 1859 to 1863; and from May, 1864, to July, 1867, having been elected principal of the seminary in February, 1866. In the meantime he married at Newbury, Vt., 10 July, 1862, Anna Wesley, daughter of Rev. Orange and Eliza (Dearborn) Scott, born 10 May, 1840, at Lowell, Mass. Mr. Quimby was ordained at Tilton, N. H., in the same year, deacon of the Methodist Episcopal church. In 1863-4 he had charge of the church at Littleton, N. H.,but was not ordained Elder till the following year, at Keene, N. H. In 1867 he left Newbury seminary for a pastorate at Leb- anon, N. H., and thereafter, held appointments in the New Hampshire Methodist Conference as follows: 1869-70, Plymouth; 1871-3, Exeter; 1874-6, Sunapee; 1877, Tilton, and was president of the Tilton seminary from March, 1878 to June, 1885. "In 1878 when he was elected president of the New Hampshire Conference seminary at Tilton. At this time the school was in a critical condition, funds low, instructors few and students less than in former years, and the build- ings were in need of repairs. Rev. Mr. Quimby took the school under these circumstances as the trustees could not guarantee a salary, and he devoted himself to strengthening and improving the institution in its every department. He soon added to the curriculum music and art, and estab- lished a chemical and physical laboratory. With real self- denial, he and his family toiled for seven years, finding their reward in the gradual improving of the material, in- tellectual and spiritual interest. Foreseeing the necessity of enlargement to meet the growing demands of the school, he formulated plans which materialized at a later period." Thereafter he held appointments as follows: 1886-7, at The Quinby Family 409 Whitefield; 1888-9, Laconia; 1890, Newmarket; 1891-3, Exeter; 1894, Rochester; 1895-6, Penacook; 1897-1900, Salem Depot, (Pleasant st. church); and was also preacher for short periods at Milton Mills and Derry. His wife died from congestion of the lungs with organic heart disease of long standing, at Salem, N. H., 8 Mar. 1901. The same year he was appointed Conference Evangelist ("State Mis- sionary") with headquarters at Derry, which position he held up to 1909, after which he went to Bellefonte, Pa., to live with his daughter, Mrs. Moore. Rev. Dr. Quimby, at Dover, N. H., 5 Apr. 1911, at the annual meeting of the N. H. Conference, resigned the secretaryship of that body, which he had held continuously for thirty-four years. He was Sunday school editor of the Christian Standard for many years, and contributed num- erous articles to periodicals. His ability and worth and services to the cause of religion were recognized by Syra- cuse University, which conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity; the degrees of A. B. and A. M. he had already received from Wesleyan University. He was twice elected delegate to the General Conference since 1877. Rev. Dr. Quimby was deeply interested in the history of the family and compiled and in 1911 printed a valuable pamphlet of 29 pages, on the "Descendants of Benjamin Quinby"; to this, and to a long and voluminous corres- pondence with him, the writer is indebted for much that appears in this work on Mr. Quimby's branch of the family and for a large number of photographs which he obtained. Mr. Quimby was a man of unaffected, cordial manner, great kindliness of heart, a wide charity, and of innate and confident piety. He was beloved by a great multitude, who mourned his death, which occurred Sunday, 23 Feb. 1913, at 12:30 o'clock in the afternoon, at his daughter's home on West Curtin st., Bellefonte, Pa. His funeral took place at Tilton, N. H. His obituary in the Boston Globe of i^5 Feb. 1913, was about a column in length, with a por- trait; it contained the following sentences: "Rev. Mr. Quimby was a thorough scholar and a devout and instruc- tive preacher. Biblical study was his specialty: he was a skilled exegete. As a pastor, he excelled, giving every de- partment of church work efficient supervision." The Belle- fonte Republican (27 Feb.) said: "For the good that he did, for the sunshine he radiated wherever he happened to be, and for the many fine traits he possessed, his memory will long be cherished by those who were privileged to 410 The Quinby Family know him."

He went into the busi- ness of general merchandising at an early age, and has owned the principal establishment of the kind at Granite- ville for many years. He married first, 19 Dec. 1871, Ellen Turner. Mr. Quinby is now the president of the Bank of Graniteville and is secretary of the Graniteville Tele- phone Co. He has held numerous public offices which testifies to the esteem in which he is held by his fellow citizens. He has served as a member of the State Legis- lature; as a member of the State Board of Equalization; as a member of the Board of Visitors, Clemson College; he is president of the Graniteville Cemetery Association and of the Young Men's Christian Association.

MosES Edwin* (Moses ', Moses », Henry ^ Phil- ip*, Joseph^, Robert^) born 18 Mar. 1824, at Newburyport, Mass. He married first, Deborah P., daughter of John and Elizabeth Ricker, born at Wales, Me. Their marriage intention is recorded 23 June, 1847, at Newburyport. She died there "of fever," 26 Nov. 1853, aged 32. Moses E. Quinby was married second, by Rev. Daniel M. Reed, 12 June, 1855, at Newburyport, to Alice E., daughter of 412 The Quinbt Family "Wiard" and Mary Lord, born 1833, at Burlington, Vt. The census of 1860 shows Mr. Quinby at Newburyport with wife Alice E., aged 28. He was married third, at Newburyport or Haverhill, Mass., by Rev. Raymond H. Seeley, to Emily Frances, daughter of Luther C. and Sarah (or Mary) B. Merrill, born 1843 at Newburyport. I have failed to find their death records, from which fact I sup- pose they removed from Newburyport. Children: I. Sarah Elizabeth* Quinby, born 16 July, 1848, at Newburyport (her mother was Deborah P.); she evidently reversed her first names, for Elizabeth S. Quinby, born 1848, at Newburyport, was mar- ried by Rev. L. P. Cushman at Lawrence, Mass., 30 Oct. 1872, to Richard, son of Samuel J. and Ellen Blair, aged 34, born in Nova Scotia; 1817. II.

Charles Otis' (Philip'', Philip^, Henry'', Phil- ip*, Joseph^, Robert^) known as "Otis Quimby," born 12 Nov. 1841, at Haverhill, Mass.; married there by Rev. B. F. Hosford, 12 Jan. 1864, to Amanda Olivia, daughter of Samuel E. and Lavinia Fogg Williams, born at Brad- ford, Mass., 31 July, 1843. They lived, 1910, at 6 Ferry St., Bradford, Mass. Their children, born at Haverhill, Mass. (list perhaps incomplete) : 1819. I. Frank H.» Quimby, born 27 Oct. 1864; unmarried in 1909; II. Susan Amanda" Quimby, born 18 Sept. 1871; mar- ried by Rev. Joseph C. Snow at Haverhill, 31 Mar. 1898, to Charles H., son of Charles Henry and Almyra (Varney) Home, born 10 Jan. 1875, at Berwick, Me.; they live (1909) at 141 Main St., Bradford, Mass.; 1820. III. Paul Louis* Quimby, born 15 Apr. 1886; unmarried in 1909; address, 6 Ferry st., Bradford, Mass. I find a newspaper item in a Haverhill paper, 14 Oct. 1909: "Paul Quimby reported to the police that somebody had stolen a new brown melton overcoat belonging to him, and orders were given the police to search the pawn shops." He, with Lucy Tulare Baldwin, wife of 1066Silas8 Quinby (taken 1859; loaned by Mrs. C. E. Dean). The Quinby Family 413 Mrs. Pansy J. Quimby are named in the 1915 direc- tory as living at 6 Ferry st., Bradford. 1066. Silas' (Caleb'', Moses ^, Josiah^, John*, John\ John', William^) born 1791 at Orange, N. J., and died Feb. 1873, in Illinois. He was married 11 Oct. 1812, by Rev. Aaron Condit of IJanover, N. J., to Lucy Tulere, daughter of Matthias and Elizabeth (Bigelow) Baldwin, of Caldwell, N. J. He lived at one time near the top of Orange moun- tain; he was known to some by the soubriquet of "Dr. Franklin." He is said to have had three children, two boys and a girl, triplets, all of whom grew to maturity, says W, B. Prime. Another report says, "Went west in early days. He appears to have settled in Illinois after 1832. His family moved to Ohio after his death, thence to Charleston, 111., and after the Civil war the widow with her sons, Morris and John R. went to Seneca, Mo., and there is buried with them."

William Brugiere' Quinby, born 15 Aug. 1832 (see). Note — The last three were triplets, born at Morristown, N. J. Wilham B. says, "a lady from France, Mrs. Rogers by name, gave us our middle names." XI. Charles' Quinby, died in infancy. Note 1 — John Baldwini" Quinby says, "when the triplets were born, a French lady who claimed she had traveled from France to New Jersey to see the babies gave my grandmother $600, $200 apiece, for the triplets, to be kept in trust until each* was of age, for the privilege of giving them a middle name. She had arrived too late to give them their first name, my grandmother having already named them. "My father and some of his brothers enlisted in the war, and all came out alive." Mrs. W. S. Taylor (William Brugiere Quinby's daughter) says: "Many people came from miles to see the triplets — they were the curiosity of the 414 The Quinby Family surrounding country. Many presents were given them. Two French ladies, Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Brugiere were given the privilege of naming the babies, presenting each child with one hundred pounds." Note 2 — "The old picture of my grandmother (Lucy Baldwin, born 179-, wife of Silas' Quinby) was taken when my oldest brother William Edgari"" Quinby, (now over lifty years old) was a little baby, and has been kept by me for a keepsake more than anything else and perhaps you cannot make use of it at all (says Mrs. Charles E. Dean), but my father says it is very good for those days. We are a quiet sort of family. Being left without a mother when quite young, we naturally kept very close at home and together, until late years when it seemed necessary for some of us to seek a different climate for health's sake; but we sometimes feel the boys might have made a greater effort to reach the 'top of the ladder' had they had the help of one who gave her life for us. However, we are very proud of them in the place they hold in life, as they are industrious, and honesty has always been their motto. The older friends of my father say it is due to the very name of Quinby." 1067. Ira* {Caleb'', Moses^, Josiah^, John*, John^, John^, William^) born 5 May, 1794, at Orange, N. J. married Catherine, daughter of Thomas and Arian (Ten Eyck) Burnside. In 1850 Mr. Quinby lived in Morris, Otsego county, N. Y.; his wife lived with him as did their children Elizabeth, Ira, Thomas and Margaret, the latter three attending school. Ira, who was living at Morris and gave his age as sixty, made an affidavit dated 22 Mar. 1855, in support of a claim (No. 46815) for bounty land granted by Congress to those who enlisted in the war of 1812, that he "was a private in the company commanded by David Kilbourne in the regiment of artillery commanded by John Leonard in the war of 1812 for the term of three months and six days." Ira» Quinby died at Morris, 5 Oct. 1873. The children were born in New York state: I. Elizabeth Winifred' Quinby, born 19 May, 1830; married 25 Aug. 1857, Leroy Sanderson: she died 6 May, 1895; II. Mary' Quinby, born 3 Sept. 1831; married 24 Aug. 1864, Moses Wesley Foote; she died 11 Dec. 1870; III. Arian » Quinby, born 19 Dec. 1832; married 24 Sept. 1856, Charles H.

The census of 1850 gives him, his wife and daughter Harriet A., and calls him a carpenter, with real estate of at least $1000. He prepared "16 June, 1851, at considerable expense" (says 1070HON, James Mosess Quinby, Mayor of Newark, founder of J. M. Quinby & Co., carriage makers.

Mr. Quinby was one of the or- ganizers of the Episcopal church at East Orange, 10 Oct. 1867. (Founders and Builders of the Oranges, p. 168) He died 10 Oct. 1886; his widow was buried 14 Feb. 1899, both in lot 8 P. E., Rosedale cemetery, Orange. The only other interment in that lot was of Emily W. Quinby, 23 Dec. 1886, say the cemetery records. The child of Charles and Catherine (Van Giesen) Quinby was Harriet Antoinette* Quinby, born 14 Aug. 1840; married 1858 at Albany, N. Y., Albert Rowe of East Orange, N.J. ; "he was a shipbuilder, and became wealthy;" she died 7 Oct. 1877, at San Francisco, ' Cal. 1070. James Moses* {Jotham\ Moses ^, Josiah^, John*, John^, John^, William^) born at Orange, N. J., 4 Oct. 1804 (5 Oct. says Mrs. Wright) and died at Newark, 20 July, 1874. He came to Newark when a lad and served his apprenticeship in carriage building with John Heden- berg. Upon the failure in 1834 of G. and A. K. Carter, in whose shop Mr. Quinby was foreman, the latter con- tinued the business on his own account, subsequently tak- ing in as partners George M. Spencer and Mr. Young. "Though holding positive political opinions, he was in no sense a partisan politician. In consideration of his worth as a citizen and a business man of the highest probity, he was thrice chosen Mayor of Newark, serving the three one year terms from 1851 to 1854. In 1860 he was chosen to the state Senate and most satisfactorily served a three years' term representing his native county, Essex. During his time and largely owing to the excellence of the work manufactured under his eye, Newark-made carriages be- came famous throughout America and even in Europe. His firm is now with one exception the oldest in America in the same line." (History of Essex and Hudson counties, N. J., Everts & Peck, 1884, page 581). U. S. patent 25044 for a furnace for making iron direct from the ore was granted 9 Aug. 1859, to James M. Quin- by* A. H. Brown, H. Benton and J. Creswell, Newark, N. J. James M. Quinby of Newark, N. J., bought land 5 Feb. 1849, in Buffalo, N. Y., on Franklin st., near Allen St. (vol. 104, p. 44, deeds). He and his wife Phoebe A. sold the same property 4 June, 1852, to Henry Roop (or 416 The Quinby FAMiiiY QUIMBY FOHE DOOR umousaiE J. V. quiNBV ft CO^ ''^^^iSSSL "• Ross) (vol. 134, p. 172, deeds). The census of 1850 gives him as owner of real estate valued at eighty thousand dol- lars and his brother Jonas Quinby, aged 55, was a member of his household. James M.'s name appears first in the New York city directory in 1860, "carriages, 620 Broadway, h. Newark;" in 1880, it appears again as J. M. Quinby & Co., carriages, 6 E. 23d street. The only U. S. copyrights standing in J. M. Quinby's name are Nos. 11749-50, a catalogue of horses, issued 1880. "When James Moses Quin- by engaged in business on his own account, building up a profitable trade, his transac- tions with the south became so extensive that he established branch factories at Montgom- ery, Alabama, and Columbus, Georgia, which were highly remunerative. Being of in- tensely patriotic disposition, loyal to the cause of the Union, he was called upon to make many sacrifices in his business with the south during the early and dark days of the civil war. From 1851 to 1854 he served in the capacity of mayor of Newark, rendering valuable and efiicient service, there being at that time no remuneration at- tached to the ofiice, so none but men of spirit and integrity were chosen for positions of public trust. He was a man of pleasing personality, retiring and modest in manner, always willing and anxious to advance the highest interests of his city, state and nation, aiding to the best of his ability with his means and time. He also had the honor of being the first Republican member of the state senate elected from Essex county. New Jersey. He was a com- municant of and for many years a vestryman of Trinity Church, Newark. He was one of the original managers of the Newark Savings Institution and chairman of the funding committee and also one of the water commission- ers of the city" (Mrs. N. Wright in Genealogical His- tory of N. J., p. 227). James Moses* Quinby married 12 Dec. 1838, Phoebe Ayres, eldest daughter of Richard and Hannah (Hays) Sweazy of Newark, N. J.

Marie Antoinette' Quinby Miss M. Antoinette Quinby graduated from St. Mary's school at Burlington, N. J. She was the founder of the Women's Branch of the New Jersey Historical Society, and was its president from its inception until her death, devoting much of her time to its work and interests. She was the organizer of Section No. 11 of the Army and Navy Relief Society and was its only president till her death. For many years she was a member of the board of managers of the Colonial Dames of New Jersey; a member of Trent Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and manager in many charitable philanthropic and public spirited or- ganizations. She was one of the board of managers of the Newark Exchange for Women's Work, and of the "Crazy Jane" Society, a philanthropic association; she also had the distinction of being appointed by the state of New Jersey with the late Mrs. Thomas T. Kinney, to represent the state in the interest of women at the World's Fair at Chicago in 1892. At the time of the war with Spain, she was one of the leaders in fitting out the relief ship "Solace", and also spent days and nights at the railway stations assisting the sick returning soldiers. In May, 1908, she erected a stained glass window (see description below) in the "Trinity Epis- copal church at Newark in honor of her parents. Miss Quinby died at her home, 14 James st., Newark, in March, 1909, after a protracted illness of heart disease. The local papers in the obituaries said: "The managers of the Woman's Branch and the members of the board of trustees of the Historical Society will (27) 418 The Qltinby Family hold special meetings tomorrow afternoon to take action on her death. They will also attend the funeral services, which will be held in Trinity Episcopal Church Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Louis Shreve Osborne, the rector of Trinity, and Rev. John S. Miller, rector of the House of Prayer, will officiate. The pall- bearers will be Jonathan Roberts, John A. Giflord, Robert Sym- ington, J. Herbert Ballantine, CliflFord Smillie, Dr. Archibald Mer- cer, Elijah Farnham, of Elizabeth, and James S. Polhemus. In- terment will be in Mt. Pleasant cemetery. Her sister, Mrs. Wright, said of her in the Genealogical His- tory of N. J., (I., 227-8): "Beautiful in person, with a fine mind and charming manners, she was a leader in society for many years. Intense patriotism was her ruling passion, and with all the power of her intellect and at personal sacrifice she materially aided many a good and noble work. Gifted with great wisdom in management, and with great executive ability, possessing a wide influence for good, and persistently using all her efforts for the betterment of mankind, success invariably crowned her labors. * * * Her death removed from the community one whom all that knew her intimately revered and loved, and the influence of her life and work will long be felt, and will be an incentive to others." Quinby Memorial Window In May, 1908, Miss Marie Antoinette' Quinby caused to be erected in Trinity Episcopal church at Newark, N. J., a stained glass window as a memorial to her parents. The subject of the window is "They presented to Him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh,'.' as the inscription states; which also says: "To the glory of God and in loving memory of James M. Quinby, 1804- 1874, a vestryman of this church, and of Phoebe A. Qui°by, 1818- 1859." The rose window at the top is inscribed: "Glory to God in the Highest." The window is very beautiful, with oriental colorings in brilliant reds and purples, and with a large quantity of gold ornamentation. The window was made in London, by Heaton, Butler & Bayne. At the time, it was the second stained glass window in the church, and it is on the north side, the second from the chancel, and extends above the gallery. (Newark News, 11 May, 1908). 1071.

The records show that Mr. Quinby was an early member of the Washington Temple of Honor and Temperance, at Orange, which was founded in 1849. (Founders, etc., of the Oranges, p. 246). He lived on Williams st.. Orange. In the census of 1850 he is called constable. He died 27 Dec. 1881; she died 14 Aug. 1885. Their gravestone is in Rosedale cemetery at Orange. Children : 1831.

The Quinbt Family 421 1835 through 1837 his brother Albert H. conducted the shoe business at 26 Carmine st., and Daniel's name does not appear in the directory. In 1835 only, the partner- ship of Quinby & Hulsart appears as shoe dealers at 521 Greenwich st. Daniel's home address in 1833-4 was 19 Bedford st., where James, probably his father, also lived. In 1839 Daniel F. appears again in the New York city directory in the same business at 30 Morton st., and in 1840 at 266 Bleecker st., his last appearance. Mr. Quinby died Saturday, 22 July, 1865, at Parsip- pany, N. J., and administration was granted to his son Stanley F., in Kings county, N. Y. (Surrogate rec. lib. 15, p. 67).

His father was a boot manufacturer in New York city as was his brother, and Albert succeeded to the latter's business at 26 Carmine St., where he was located from 1835 through 1837, after which date his name does not appear in the New York directory. He evidently went west about that time; he opened a retail shoestore at Lewistown, Fulton county, 111., where the record shows he married 25 Feb. 1842, Aureliza Buckley and soon died, as his probate proceedings in Fulton county' took place in 1842-3. 1081.

He was married there 7 Sept. 1853, to Nancy Benedict, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Kitchell) Farrand of that town. A local history says: "He was a successful farmer, of in- 422 The Quinby Family tegrity and good judgment, who was held in respect and esteem among his neighbors." He removed to Harford county, Maryland and died 26 Aug. 1892, near Bel Air, Md. His widow lives at Highland Park, a suburb of Rich- mond, Va. (1915). Children: I.

(see); Note — The foregoing facts were kindly supplied by Mrs. Aaron P. Quinby. Aaron Pierson Quinby "Aaron Pierson Quinby, a civil war veteran, died at his home, 331 Franklin street, from heart trouble after an illness of several months. Mr. Quinby was in the sixty-third year of his age. He was born in this town and with the exception of the years he was in the army, his life was spent here and in East Orange. He en- listed as a soldier in his eighteenth year in Co. F, Twenty-sixth New Jersey Volunteers, under command of Colonel Andrew Mor- rison. He afterward served in the Thirty-ninth New Jersey regi- ment and was in a number of engagements. At the close of the war he returned here and started in business as a fish dealer. Later on he was in the oil business at a period when the Standard Oil Company was getting control of the retail business in oil. Mr. Quinby was one of the few men who ever came out ahead of the Standard Oil Company in a deal. Mr. Quinby started in the newspaper business in East Orange, and his field of operations included Watsessing. The business he founded is now in other hands and has grown to be a large one.- While in the newspaper business he was appointed postmaster for a postal district known as Watsessing. The district has since been abolished. He was employed as engineer at the East Orange sewage disposal works for several years. "In politics Mr. Quinby was a Republican and in his younger days was active in party service. He was an adept in military drill tactics, and served as captain of several political campaign clubs. During the extensive religious movement in Watsessing known as the Burns revival, Mr. Quinby and his family became 424 The Quinbt Fauilt members of the Watsessing M. E. church. He was at one time an officer in the Salvation Army, and subsequently in the religious associations known as the Volunteers. While he was a resident of East Orange Mr. Quinby was a member of Prospect Hose Com- pany. He is survived by a widow and four children, Mrs. Archi- bald Curry, of Chatham; Mrs. George Hiler, of Rockaway; Frank Quinby, of Hackettstown, and Willard Quinby. The funeral service was held Thursday afternoon and w^as conducted by the Rev. S. Travena Jackson," said a local newspaper. 1083. William DeHart' (Isaac '', Josiah % Josiah *, John*, John^, John^, William^) born 9 Feb. 1817, at Hal- seytown, Hanover township, New Jersey. He married 13 Dec. 1853, Sarah Louisa, daughter of Dayton I. and Har- riet (Vail) Canfield. She was born 26 July, 1826, and died in 1890 at her daughter's residence at Rochester, N. Y. William DeHart* Quinby was for many years a leading physician in Morristown, N. J. (see sketch follow- ing). He died 29 Oct. 1877. Child: Mary Wilson* Quinby, born 8 Feb. 1865, married 15 Sept. 1885, Wilmot Castle at Morristown, N. J.; she lives at Rochester, N. Y. Note — I. Q. Gurnee aays: "William Quinby was one m the noted phy- sicians in Morris county. He was a very distinguished looking man, with long white hair to his shoulders. He was very fond of his mother and frequently drove out to Parsippany to have a chat with her and look after her personal comfort. When he died, all business in Morristown was suspended in his memory. He had the dominant characteristic of this branch of the family — he was very determined^ in his ways. I suppose today we would call it obsti- nate. This photograph is from an oil painting in the possession of his nephew, Edwin C. Quinby of Parsippany. A beautiful sermon preached in his memory was printed in the local papers. He was a very lovable person. His body lies at Parsippany park beside his mother." Death of Db. Quinby "A gloom has been cast over our town by the announcement of the death of Dr. Wm. DeHart Quinby, who after a long ill- ness expired at his residence on Monday last. The 'old Doctor,' as he was endearingly called, has been suffering for months from a disease superinduced by the arduous labors of his profession, so devotedly followed for a life time, and culminated in a dropsical affection that after all did its work suddenly, although it had been known for days that the Doctor was sick unto death. The news of his demise was received with sorrowful hearts and tears in many a household where he has himself in past times warded off the grim monster, and it will be hard to fill his place in families where for one and two generations he has been a most welcome visitor. "He studied medicine with the late Stephen Fairchild, of Parsippany, and received his license from the State Medical So- ciety. He located in Morristown, where with wonderful fidelity he has practiced day and night, month in and month out, for some 33 years. Three times during his practice he was compelled to rest from his labors for a short season. On two occasions he ]083Dk. William D.'^ (^uixi-iv and Family * (daguerreotype owned by Mrs. C. E. Connett) . Elizabeth Holcombe", daughter of 1083William D.s Quinby and wife of C. E. Connett (photo, by Sunderlin, Flemington, N. J.) The Quinby Family 425 took short respites and visited the Bermudas and in 1843 he went to California, where his declining health warned him that a much longer relief from business cares and exposure was necessary. Since his return he has never enjoyed sound health and has labored as before among the rich and poor, conscious that disease was slowly taking possession of his system. Although of a social, generous nature, and a close student himself, the doctor never had a student under him. He at one time formed a partnership with his brother Dr. Augustus, now practising near Leedsburg, Va., and later in 1843, he connected himself with Dr. Stephen Pierson, who was still associated with him at the time of his death. "The Doctor's life has been one continuous deed of charity. Able, a close student, and with large experience, he could have established himself with but one class of patients had he been V- so inclined, but this, his naturally charitable and kindhearted nature would not admit. We believe he never refused a call, even to the most humble home, no matter what the state of the weather or the time of the day. It was always a wonder to us when he slept. By day his horses were continually on the road, and at night his lantern shed its genial light down street or alley-way as he answered every summons. His face by day and his lantern by night were as familiar objects to our citizens as the sun and moon. Frequently, to save his horses, after a hard days work, he has trudged two and three miles out into the country with his lantern as an *nly companion, and his coming was always her- alded with delight by the sick. He was to a certain extent a 'character,' and always made his visits personally a pleasant one. He never frightened his patients or their friends, but at all times encouraged them, and if they passed through a dangerous siege, they never learned it from him, as he never bragged of what he had done. "Although graduating in allopathy, he in after years 'read up' homeopathy, and practiced either school according to the dictates of his judgment. His doctrine seemed to be to disregard to a certain extent all 'pathies' and take the treatment and remedy which his experience told him were best adapted to the patient, and his success vindicated his actions. His loss may really be termed a public calamity, and especially will he be mourned by the poor, to whom he was more than a friend, serving them de- votedly in their distress without hopes of and in many cases ap- parently without care for remuneration. Yet with all his kindness, all his talents in the healing art, the old Doctor has at last gone from our midst. We all mourn his loss and may, we also emulate his devotion to his life's work — his fidelity to the confidence reposed in him." Funeral of Db. Quinby "On Friday noon last, not withstanding the terrific storm, a large number of the friends of the family of the late Dr. Quinby gathered in the First Presbyterian church to pay the last sad tokens of regard to the departed. Previous to the hour of the funeral a large number of the Doctor's former personal acquaint- ances had visited his late residence and there took formal leave of the mortal remains of a once valued friend. The floral gifts were numerous and embraced almost every design, speaking in 426 The Quinbt Family eloquent terms of the regard in which the deceased was held. The funeral cortege, preceded by Rev. Drs. Irving and Green moved up the center aisle of the church, followed by a large num- ber of physicians, members of the Morris County Medical Society, of which Dr. Quinby was a member. The pall bearers were Messrs. James Anderson, Victor Fleury, George Doyle, Samuel Muddell, John McVay, and Richard Gray. Upon the casket rested a simple wreath of ivy. The services were opened by Rev. Rufus Green, in reading a portion of the Scriptures, followed by singing the 1311 hymn; Rev. Dr. Irving then followed with the funeral discourse: "Now one who was born near to this place,' who has spent most of his active life in this community, whose form has been so long well-known, whose officials and professional relations have been so extensive, and ministry of usefulness has been so marked, is no more. The physician endeared to so many families is taken away, and hundreds feel that they are this day bereaved. Oh! it is not one heart that is stricken, not one home that is desolate, not one family that is deprived of a friend, a comforter and a help- er. Many like myself, feel that one who has watched with us around the sick or the dying bed, who has brought healing by his skill, dissipated gloom from the sick chamber by his hopeful inspiring words, and infused courage into the wavering, has done his work and filed up the measure of his days, and we are here to see the impotence of man, or the way to bury the dead out of our sight — not to glory in man, but in the Lord and to thank him for any good he allows his creatures to accomplish. "He had zeal and self-sacrificing devotion to his profession as well as sympathy, purity, and delicacy in its discharge. He was quiet, unobtrusive, modest and retiring in his disposition, yet decided, self-reliant, calm and self-possessed, forming rather than demanding faith and showing by his acts and not by his words, that he could be trusted. He gave himself freely and generously to his profession, and counted no toil too great, and no attention out of place if he could thereby save life or assuage pain, what manner of man he was in all his professional duties and relations you know; and beyond the immediate sphere of his daily life and among men eminent in medical skill, he stood high as a safe, re- liable, skillful and successful practitioner. Affection would lead me to say more, but I forbear. The beloved physician is gone and many of us are mourners today. " 'For many weeks the departed was laid aside from active service, and what took place in that silent chamber — the thoughts that were cherished, the prayers that were offered, the feelings experienced and the new convictions that were entertained, are sacred. When a certain man, who was eminent in his profession and of great learning was led to a saving knowledge of the truth, he seemed to become young again. What his parents taught him came rushing into his mind and filled his thoughts and ere he retired to rest, we are told he could only say: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep ; If I should die before I wake; I pray the Lord my soul to take. Without violating I trust any secrecy, I may say that the same prayer was uttered again and again by the departed." 1081JAMES Houghtons Qdinby (photo, by Bachraeh, Baltimore) (p. 421). 1842SAMXJEL Parrando Quinbt son of James li.s Quinby (copy by Garber, N.

In 1849 he went to California and married first, Minerva Moody of New York. He was in the California legislature from 1855 to 1858, and was prominent in state affairs; he was an aspirant to the United States senate, but was unsuccessful. He was mayor of San Jose, California, for two terms. He married second, in 1867, Irene Camp, by whom he had Manfred and June; he died 6 Mar. 1891. "He was a fine orator — the best public speaker in Morristown, which had many good ones" (see obituary below). Children: I. Myra E. • Quinby, married William H.

Quinby "Death of a Pioneer of San Jose — A Public Spirited Citizen — One who has served faithfully in various Public Offices and did much as a Private Citizen" (say the headlines of the following obituary) . "John Alonzo Quinby, one of the most active of Santa Clara county pioneers, has passed to his home beyond. His death occurred Thursday evening at his home, three miles east of Ever- green, and the funeral will take place today from the undertaking parlors of W. L. Woodrow at 11 o'clock a. m. The deceased was 73 years of age and was born in New Jersey. His life here since pioneer days was an active one until a few years ago, when he returned to his farm. His death was the result of a lingering ill- ness contracted in 1886, and terminating in partial paralysis, which for the last seven months of his life confined him to his bed. Mr. Quinby came from his native state to this valley in 1849, and at once began a life of activity which made him promi- nent among the residents of the county. In 1850 he constructed the first public roadway from this city to Santa Cruz. In 1852 he was actively engaged in the lumber business in the Santa Cruz 428 The Quinbt Family mountains with Volney D. Moody, brother of D. B. Moody of this city, who is now a prominent banker and capitalist of Oak- land. In 1856 he served as Assemblyman from this county to the State Legislature and subsequently filled the position of Jus- tice of the Peace in this city. From 1863 to 1869 he was Mayor of San Jose, and following his retirement from that office was a member of the Board of Supervisors for two terms. The de- ceased was, prior to his last illness, a man of fine physique and well known to many earnest friends throughout Central California as the embodiment of a vigorous intellect and unswerving integrity. Mr. Quinby was twice married, his first wife, Minerva, who died in 1866, being the daughter of R. G. Moody, a well known pioneer, long since departed. Three children survive: Mrs. W. H. Wright of this city; Mrs. E. A. Kennedy, of Los Gatos and Fred A. Quinby, now Assistant United States Consul at Tapachula, State of Chiapas, Mexico. In 1867 Mr. Quinby married Miss Irene Kamp, who with her two children are residents of the Quinby farm near Evergreen. The pioneer residents of this county will bear willing testimony to the deep regard entertained for the departed by all who had the pleasure and profit of an intimate acquaint- ance in social and business circles. He was in every respect an honest, public-spirited man and he did much to advance the wel- fare of Santa Clara county." (From a San Jose newspaper). 1085. Isaac Ferdinand* {Isaac'', Josiah*, Josiah^, John*, John^, John^, William^) born 29 Jan. 1821, near Morristown, N. J. "He was graduated at the U. S. Mili- tary Academy in 1843, standing first in engineering. He was a classmate and close friend of General Grant. He was an assistant professor at West Point in 1845-7 and took part in several skirmishes on the Rio Grande and Vera Cruz lines at the close of the Mexican war. He went to Rochester, N. Y., in September, 1851, to become professor of mathematics in the newly founded university in that city, and resigned from the army, 16 March, 1852. He held his professorship until the Civil war, and then be- came colonel of the 13th New York regiment. Under his command, it marched through Baltimore 30 May, being the first body of National troops to pass through that city after the attack upon the 6th Massachusetts regiment 19 April, 1861. Col. Quinby resigned his commission 2 Aug. 1861, and resumed his chair; but he was appointed Brigadier General of Volunteers, 17 March, 1862, and in the follow- ing month was assigned to the command at Columbus Ky. In October, 1862, he was relieved, to take command of the 7th division of the Army of the Tennessee. The division was sent to take part in the movement to turn the Confederate right flank at Vicksburg by Yazoo pass, the Coldwater, Tallahatchie and Yazoo rivers. Amid great difficulties Gen.

Finding that there was no ground suitable for camping or moving a large body of troops, and the fire of the small gun-boats being inef- fectual, he conceived the idea of going around to the east side of Fort Pemberton, crossing the Yallabusha river on a pontoon bridge, cutting the communications of the fort, and compelling its surrender; but he also constructed works for a direct attack, and sent back to Helena for heavy guns. The boat that carried them brought orders from Gen. Grant to abandon the movement by Yazoo pass, and Gen. Quinby withdrew his force from before Fort Pember- ton 5 April. The fatigues and anxieties of this expedition in a malarious region brought on a severe illness, and he was ordered home on sick-leave, 1 May, 1863. But learn- ing, a few days after reaching home, the progress of Grant's movement to the rear of Vicksburg, he hastened back, assuming command of his division on the 17th, and taking part in the assault of the 19th, and the subsequent move- ments. Illness again rendered him unfit for duty in the field, 5 June, and he went to the north under Grant's orders, remaining in Rochester until 1 July. He then commanded the rendezvous at Elmira till 31 December, 1863, when, convinced that he would not again be able to go to the front, he resigned- his commission and resumed his duties as professor in the university. In May, 1869, he was appointed U. S. Marshal for the northern district of New York, and he held that office during Gen. Grant's two presi- dential terms, holding his professorship also till September, 1884. In May, 1885, he was appointed city surveyor of Rochester. He was a trustee of the Soldiers' home at Bath, N. Y., and vice-president of the board from the foun- dation of the institution in 1879 till his resignation in 1886. In addition to his official duties, he was frequently employed as a consulting engineer. He revised and rewrote several of the works in the Robinson course of mathematics, and the treatise on the Differential and Integral Calculus in that series is altogether his. (Appleton's Cyclopaedia of American Biography). Mexican War, Claim of Isaac F. Quinby, No. 874 for bounty land. Affidavit dated 21 Nov. 1850 of Isaac F. Quinby: "That he is twenty-nine years old, at present stationed at the post of Fort Adams, R. I., and that he is the identical Isaac F. Quinby who was a commissioned officer in the Third U. S. Artillery, com- manded by Col. William Gates, during the war with Mexico, 13 May, 1846; that he graduated at the U. S. Military Academy 1 July, 1843, that he has been continuously in the army of the 430 The Quinby Family United States from that time to the present; and that he was con- sequently in actual service during the entire time of said war." The official record, U. S. Army, is as follows: "Quinby, Isaac Ferdinand, New Jersey, Cadet, Military Academy, July 1, 1839. Graduated 6th in class. Brevet 2nd Lieut. 2nd Art. July 1, 1843; 2nd Lieut. 3rd Art. Dec. 20, 1845; 1st Lieut. March 3, 1847; Regimental Quartermaster, Oct. 24, 1848; Regimental Adjt.

March 17, 1862; resigned Dec. 31, 1863; died Sept. 18, 1891." The life of Gen. Grant, by Larke and Patton, contains two letters of interest. The first refers to contraband trade carried on thrtfugh Memphis, and is as follows: "V. S. Military Telegraph, Corinth, July 26, 1862. Brigadier General I. F. Quinby, Colum- bus, Ky., General: Examine the baggage of all speculators com- ing south and when they have specie turn them back. If medi- cine and other contraband articles, arrest them and confiscate the contraband articles. Jews should receive special attention. U. S. Grant, Major Gen." (p. 115). This book mentions Gen. I. F. Quinby as sixth in Grant's class at West Point. Grant stood twenty-first. The other letter, written to the wife of Gen. Quinby by Gen. Grant, explains itself: "Chattanooga, Tenn. Dec. 13, 1863. Dear Madam: The letter of my old friend and classmate your husband requesting a lock of my hair which I assume is to be sold at the bazaar for the benefit of disabled soldiers and their families, is just received. The object is so praiseworthy I cannot refuse it . to the Ladies of Rochester. Hoping the fair may remunerate most abundantly I remain very truly your friend, U. S. Grant, Maj. Gen. U. S. A." (p. 463). Isaac Q. Gurnee says: "General Quinby's oldest son, DeHart Quinby, a graduate of West Point and a lieutenant in the army, underwent an operation at Fort Leavenworth without notifying his family, and died. General Quinby was deeply affected and was a different man afterward. Uncle Eugene Quinby told me that uncle Isaac ran away from West Point and came home; grandfather hitched up the gray mare and went right back with him and told him he must get through. Uncle Isaac wrote my mother that he w^as coming to see the old homestead before he passed away, and mother and I went over to Parsippany to see him; his daughter Ruth, and uncle William's daughter Mary were with him. The general wanted to have a drink out of the old well and I went with him. The water had a mineral taste and he said, 'I have not drank out of it in twenty years, but it tastes just the same.' He wandered all around the old farm and said those were his happy days and showed great emotion." Gen, Isaac F. Quinby married Elizabeth Greenbury, daughter of John Lane and Caroline (Goldsborough) Gardi- ner; Gen. Quinby died 18 Sept. 1891; his widow died 31 Mar. 1902. Their children were: 1848. I.

DEWITT C.« QUINBY "The name of Quinby figures conspicuously in the history of Morris county, and Judge DeWitt Clinton Quinby was one who added new luster to the family records. A man of strong indi- viduality and mentality, of firm purpose and sound judgment, he left an impress for good on the community that will long be felt. His reputation in business circles was unassailable, and he belonged to that class of representative Americans, who, loyal to their country and its principles, support all measures for the public good and do all in their power to promote the best in- terests of county, state and nation. "Judge Quinby was born on the old family homestead, in Hanover township, Morris county, on the 8th of February, 1830. He received his early mental training in the schools of Hanover township, and remained under the parental roof until he had at- tained his majority. He then turned his attention to agricultural pursuits, managing the farm in Hanover township upon which his brother, David E. Quinby, now resides. In 1863 he removed to the village of Hanover, and in 1867 returned to the old home- stead farm, whereon he spent the remainder of his days, his death occurring on the 12th of May, 1891. He managed his business interests with system and precision, and his energy, industry and sound judgment brought to him a comfortable competence. "He was also quite prominent in public affairs, and was frequently called to public office by his fellow townsmen, who recognized his worth and ability. He served for five consecutive years as tax collector, having been elected over his Republican opponent by a majority of one hundred and fifty. In 1887 he was appointed to the office of associate judge of Morris county by the Governor, and his candidacy for the office received the earnest support and recommendation of ex-Governor Werts, who at that time was a senator from New Jersey. Mr. Quinby continued to fill the office of associate judge until his death, and discharged his duties with such promptness, fidelity and ability that he won the high commendation of all concerned. In his home and in all the other relations of life Judge Quinby was true to the duties lOSTHoN. DeWitt C.s Quinby. Mary and Eddie, children of DeWitt C.s Quinby of Parsippaiiy, N. ,1.

George Augustus' {Isaac ', Josiah «, Josiah % John*, John", John^, William^) born 4 Mar. 1832, at Parsippany, N. J.; prepared at Metcalf school to enter Princeton College as a sophomore, but this was impractic- able as a result of financial conditions, so at the persuasion of an elder brother, Dr. William DeHart Quinby, he studied medicine with him and graduated from New York Univer- sity in 1856 with the degree of M. D. In June following he passed a competitive examination and 1 July he was appointed surgeon on the staff of the New York Hospital, his home being at 319 Broadway. The following year he left New York. Dr. George practised surgery with great distinction at Morristown, N. J., until 1864, and then re- ceived the appointment of attending surgeon at St. Luke's Hospital in New York city. He was in active practice in New York from 1865 to 1867 at 21 East 38th street. Dr. Quinby was married by Rev. Francis Vinton, D. D., at Trinity church, N. Y., 12 Jan. 1864, to Mary Gamble Sneden. Dr. Quinby purchased "Oak Hill," the former home of President Monroe in Loudon county, Virginia, and on account of his wife's health lived there from 1870 to 1885, where he occupied himself with the care of the estate and in scientific pursuits, and became a member of the executive committee of the State Agricultural So- ciety at Richmond, Va. Dr. Quinby had a plantation near St. Augustine, Florida, where for some years he spent his winters; he also has travelled extensively abroad. About 1885, he returned to New York city, and has a beautiful residence at 24 W. 55th st., a few doors from Fifth avenue, where he lives at the present time (1915).

Soc; The QmNBY Family 439 Amer. Inst.; professor of Obstetrics, N. Y. Med. Coll.; asst. gyn., Stamford Hosp.). Note — Maurice Maeterlinck, the .great Belgian literary geniun in his work "The Life of the Bee" in §3, speaking of the hive with movable combs, and the invention of the movable frame, "adopted in America with extraordinary suc- cess" adds: "Root, Quinby, Dadant, Cheshire, De Layens, Cowan, Ileddon, Howard, etc., added still further and precious improvements." (Amer. Ed., Dodd, Mead & Co., 1904, p. 15). MOSES» QUINBY AUTHOKITY ON BEES AND BEE-KEEPING The following paragraphs are from a late edition of Mr. Quinby's book: "Fifty years ago," (this sketch was evidently written in 1879) "Mr. Quinby, then a lad of nineteen, procured his first hive of bees, and began bee-keeping. He was wholly unacquainted with their management, save with the simplest directions for hiving swarms, and the use of brimstone for securing the honey, when desired. * * * "Thus, the first steps in the right direction being taken, it was easy to devise boxes with glass sides; and twenty-five years ago, we find Mr. Quinby recommending boxes six inches square, with glass on all four sides, with the remark that, 'the expense of making is a little more for the same amount of honey, yet, when it is marketed, a few customers will prefer this size.' Mr. Quinby's desire to understand the minutest details of everything which came under his observation, led him to become thoroughly familiar with the habits of his little favorites; and, unaided by the dis- coveries of foreign writers with which he was then wholly unac- quainted, he demonstrated for himself many of the facts and prin- ciples which the progress of today easily enables us to verify. "At the end of a quarter of a century, he had so satisfactorily established a system of bee-keeping that would insure reasonable return for a stated investment, that he felt warranted in publish- ing the first edition of this work entitled 'Mysteries of Bee-keeping Explained.' He hoped thereby to benefit others by disseminating the knowledge he had acquired, and to encourage an industry, evidently designed by the Creator, when he caused uncounted flowers to annually secrete tons of liquid honey, and created a tiny insect with instinct to gather and preserve this 'treasure-trove.' "Simultaneously with this publication, appeared the first edition of 'Langstroth on the Hive and Honey Bee.' These two works were the first of any great value that had been Written in America. Their coincident appearance was always a great gratifi- cation to Mr. Quinby, as it affoi-ded no opportunity for either to accuse the other of profiting by his investigations; and gave to both the honor of much original discovery. These books were subsequently revised, Mr. Langstroth's in 1859, and Mr. Quinby's in 1865. About this time., the 'Bee-keeper's Directory' by J. S. Harbison, appeared. Mr. Harbison was the pioneer bee-keeper of California, and has done much to develop bee-culture in that State." As an expression of Mr. Langstroth's appreciation of Mr. 440 The QuiNBY Family Quinby's work, I give the following, from his writings: "I shall here quote from one of the most common-sense works on practical bee-keeping which has ever been written in our language. * * • I refer to the 'Mysteries,' etc. by Mr. Quinby. This treatise bears marks, on almost every page, of being the work of an ac- curate, experienced, and thoroughly honest observer." "After the death of Mr. Quinby, the preparation of a new and revised edition of his work, which he had in contemplation, fell into the hands of Mr. L. C. Root, his relative and long-time business associate. This secured the incorporation of Mr. Quinby's latest views and methods, and the introduction of important I I rovements that had ti just been tested, es- pecially that of comb-founda- tion, and the treatise thus embodied the experi- ence of two skilled api- arians. Dur- ing the lat- ter years of his life, he was partic- ularly anx- ious to em- body his ripest experience, and most important discoveries, in a new and thorough revision of his book; and had his life been prolonged a few years, this work would have been done by his own hands." QniNBY HIVE, WITH FRAMBS AND BOXES. Memorial of M. Quinby By Capt. J. E. Hetherington, Cherry Valley, N. Y. "I approach the task before me with mingled feelings of love, admiration, and duty; love for the man, cemented by intimate friendly relations with him for more than twenty years. I went to him when a mere lad for instruction in bee-culture, and he so beautifully unveiled the wonderful mysteries of the natural his- tory and practical management of the honey-bee, that I left him that day, impressed as I had never been before. As I afterwards learned to know him, I found that his kind, considerate manner, and evident pleasure in imparting instruction, were but the man- ifestation of qualities of heart and purpose, strongly marked in his character. My admiration for his sterling, manly attributes, and eminently useful life, inspire me to attempt, in a small meas- ure, to discharge a duty resting on me, in common with every bee-keeper in the land; that of putting in some enduring form, a tribute to his unselfish life-work in promoting the science of bee- culture. "His writings have made their impress on bee-literature, and The Quinbt Familt 441 his name is familiar in every home where honey bees are kept for pleasure or profit. Thousands are today enjoying a delicious and wholesome article of food that would have remained un- gathered, except for his earnest advocacy of the business as a source of revenue to the nation, and profit to the bee-keeper. He was ever unselfishly urging people to adopt this calling, that the millions of pounds of honey annually going to waste, might be garnered for the use of mankind; and he devoted the best of his life to imparting instruction that would lead to this end. Thus, through his writings, and through his life-work for the bene- fit of mankind, he built to himself a monument more enduring than brass; and to complete the memorial, it is the wish of all who knew him to have inscribed on its tablet, that which will testify to his broad, Christian character, as well as to such quali- ties of heart as are best revealed in home life to kindred and friends. "I was asked to write of Mr. Quinby because I knew him; none could know him but to love him. We, who were accustomed to gather at his fireside, can never forget his warm hospitality. He was of a happy, even temperament, always ready with a hearty welcome for his friends, and a kind word for every one; ever willing to spread the broad mantle of charity over the short comings of his fellows, yet equally prompt with quick censure for a wrong that could be righted. True to his Quaker education, he was an intense hater of shams, especially of the human kind. He was honest, a characteristic that is getting to be as rare as it is valuable. There is no principle in business better established than that 'Honesty is the best policy.' Mr. Quinby, unlike many men, was honest from principle. His lifework was to elevate bee- keeping to the dignity of a pursuit among men, and he accom- plished his mission. Bee-keeping as a specialty will date from his time, and if Huber has earned the title of 'Prince of Apiarists,' certainly Mr. Quinby is entitled to that of 'Father of Practical Bee-Culture.' "In apiarian history there are four names that will stand out prominently beyond all others; Huber, the blind apiarian, who, by his untiring perseverance, discovered more of the interior work- ings of the bee-hive than any other man that ever lived; Dzierzon, the Quinby of Germany, who confirmed the hitherto unbelieved statements of Huber, and added that equally surprising one of partheno-genesis; Langstroth, our own countryman, inventor of the movable comb-hive (the most important invention ever made in bee-culture), and author of a work, that for scientific accuracy and beauty of expression is unsurpassed; and last, but not least, our own Quinby, who, adding largely to the knowledge of his predecessors, combined the whole into a system of practical man- agement, unequalled in simplicity and feasibility; and, finally, as a crowning act of a lifetime spent in the service of others, gave to the world his celebrated discovery that the liquid part of honey is, under favorable conditions, entirely evaporated within the body of the bee; a discovery second to none ever made in the history of the insect. "He was not only author of our most practical work on bee- keeping, but inventor of an almost perfect movable frame hive, and the originator of numerous other useful devices. I predict 442 The Qthnbt Family that his invention of a smoker, combining the principle of an up- right tube and bellows, will, in the near future, be in the hands of every bee-keeper in the land. It has often been asked, 'Why, did not Mr. Quinby accumulate a fortune in keeping bees?' To this question, I think this answer may be given: It is true that Mr. Quinby never became wealthy in a pecuniary point of view, but this was not because he was unable to inake bee-keeping a lucrative pursuit. He did reap handsome profits in his business, but was continually distributing his gains in the search for more knowledge, and means for imparting it to others. His views of a true fortune did not permit him to enjoy the mere possession of money. With him, knowledge was better fortune than gold; and in another light, he considered the ability to do something for the benefit of mankind, a perpetual reward — treasures laid up in heaven, i Whenever he obtained any new idea that would benefit ^^ others as well as himself, it was forth- with given to all who would receive. "His life was, in every sense, a life of usefulness, and not wholly de- voted to the interests of bee-culture, for he took a living interest in anything that he thought would benefit society; as an advocate and helper in the tem- perance work he did no mean service. He possessed true kindness of heart, and believed it to be a religious duty to make all with whom he came in contact better and happier, and he regarded that life a failure that did not leave the world the better for having been lived. The following little incident tells its own story: On the day of his funeral, some bare-footed boj's had followed down the street to the front of the house, where one of them turned up a sorrowful-looking face, and remarked to the officiating clergyman : 'I am sorry Mr. Quinby is dead;' on being asked why, he replied, 'He gave us apples, and pears, and sometimes grapes.' They then asked if they might see him. Generally, sickness, as a warning for preparation, pre- cedes dissolution, but in the case of our friend, at the small hours of night, when reposing in quiet slumber, the message came. His wife noticed an unusual breathing — she immediately called the family, but before they reached the bed, he had answered the summons. A noble spirit had fled back to its Maker, a loving family circle was broken, and the earthly life of the Pioneer Bee- keeper closed. Thus, at the age of sixty-five, ended the life-work of our counsellor, friend, and public benefactor. How fitting that a life so pure should have so peaceful an ending. He passed from IMPBOVED QUINBY SMOKER. earth- 'Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.' " The Quinbt Family 443 bee-keeping: the old and the new {Further Extracts from the Book) "I find in an article written by Mr. Quinby, in 1848, for the Dollar Newspaper, published in Philadelphia, that he takes decided exception to a statement made by another writer to the effect that he had known 25 lbs. of honey to be gathered by one colony in two weeks. Mr. Quinby lived to see 57i lbs. of extracted honey taken from one colony in two days, and 586 lbs. from a stock during the season. He also records a gain of 225 lbs. of box- honey from one colony. That these results are exceptional, is, of course, admitted, but that they have been reached, indicates the possibilities to which we may yet attain. "A short time before his death, Mr. Quinby remarked that the past five years had shown more progress than the forty years preceding, and he predicted that the five years to come would record even greater advancement. Who shall say that in this he was not correct? Mr. Quinby was not only a diligent student of all the views and experiments of these scientific apiarians, but in his own investigations, was cease- less in the endeavor to demonstrate the truths which a genuine enthusiasm prompted him to seek. Smoke, a Controlling Agent. "The ability to subdue these insects by the use of smoke has been so thoroughly demonstrated that I need say little except as to the mode of applying it. For years Mr. Quinby used partially decayed wood, cut in sticks of suitable size, the smoke of which, when ignited, could be directed to the desired point by blowing with the mouth. Quinby Smoker. "In 1873, Mr. Quinby gave the matter very particu- lar attention, which resulted in the in- vention of the up right bellows and tube, which has since been known as the 'Quinby Bellows Smoker.' This invention I believe all agree to have been original with him. In 1874, it was practically improved and offered to the public. Mr. Quinby had a characteristic dislike of patents, and in accordance with this, he freely gave this valu- able aid to bee-keepers, without any of the restrictions which would have proved a protection against piracy, or which would have made it pecuniarily profitable. "After prolonged study and experiment, he invented, about the year 1868, the 'New Quinby Hive,' with standing frame, and at the time of his death, in 1875, he had so far demonstrated its practicability, and superiority, that it was a source of much grati- fication. The corners of the hive are held together by an appli- ance designed for the purpose by Mr. Quinby, and known as the 'Quinby Hive Clasp.' "In 1869, our stock of bees numbered 415 swarms, and the exigencies of the season were such, that when it was over, only QUINBY HIVE CLASP. 444 The Quinby Family six colonies had enough honey to carry them through the winter, and one-half of the whole number had none at all. This was the most disastrous year for bees, in Mr. Quinby's experience of forty years. It is generally conceded that Mr. Quinby was the first to advocate the importance of keeping bees uniformly warm. Foul Brood. "During a large portion of Mr. Quinby's bee- keeping experience, the evil of 'foul brood' held so decided a foot- hold among the apiaries of American bee-keepers, that his time and attention were, for many years, greatly engrossed by its in- vestigation. He was among the very first to become familiar with its appearance, his first observations being made as early as 1835. In the first editions of this work, he gave a minute account of his investigations into the cause or causes of the malady, and search for a preventive; and, although he never satisfied himself as to the cause, his persevering efforts in seeking remedies were rewarded with admirable success." 1225. Daniel William* (William'', Moses ^, Samuel^, Moses*, Josiah^, John^, William^) born 12 Jan. 1815, in Westchester county, N. Y. ; moved with his parents in 1817 to Coeymans, Albany county, N. Y. In 1836 he married Miriam, daughter of Oliver and Mary (Smith) Waldron. They went to New York city the following year. The directory first mentions him in 1839 as a grocer at 222 Laurens st., the same address where his relative Caleb Quinby lived in 1831. The directory gives Daniel W. in 1840 as a grocer at 40 Hester st. He left New York soon after and his wife died 17 Sept. 1847, at Coxsackie, N. Y.; in 1857 his second marriage took place at Saugerties, N. Y., to Elizabeth Ann 'Bur- hans'; by this marriage he had two or three children who died in infancy. He returned to New York city about 1862 and appears then in the directory, when he was in the produce business at 145 West Washington Market. In 1869 his number was 15 at the same market. The fol- lowing year his firm was Quinby & Kilby for that year only. After an absence of a few years, Mr. Quinby was again in the produce business at 342 Greenwich st. in 1874; at 250, same street, in 1875-6; at 97 Park Place ("fruit") in 1876, and at the same address till 1881 except 1877 when his address is given as 99 Murray st. In 1862, Daniel W. lived at 20 East 50th st. which continued through several years, until 1869 when he was living in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. On his reappearance in New York city directory in 1874, his home was given as New Jersey; in 1876, the location is given as Jersey City, and in 1877 as 15 Brinckerhoflf st. in that town, and so continued through 1881.

John Palmer' {Abram ', Josiah ", Samuel ^ Mo- ses*, Josiah^, John"^, William^) born 5 mo. 12, 1834, near New Bedford, Westchester county, N. Y. "He was the eldest son, and lived on a small farm about a mile and a half from the village," says Mrs. Julia E. Quinby; "his mother died while he was yet in his 'teens. There were but few acres between his father's farm and that of Horace Greeley at Chappaqua, and the two were very intimate and visited often together. After his mother's death, John went to live with his uncle Reuben Quinby at what is now Ossining, Westchester county, where he lived six years; he was employed in a store in New York city a short time. He then went with Ed. White, a friend of his, to Illinois, thence to Nebraska. He lived in the earliest cabin twenty- five miles west of what were then the limits of Omaha. The Indians were all around there, and deer and other game were very plentiful. Mr. Quinby and his companions often shouldered their guns and walked into Omaha for their mail. I've heard him tell of how the Indian women would carry fifty pounds of flour, and outwalk them home. 448 The Quinby Family "After two years in Nebraska, he returned to Prince- ton, 111., where we became acquainted and were married (1 mo. 16, 1869, at Bureau, 111.). We went to New York soon after our marriage and lived there two years. From there we returned to Illinois, and in 1893 moved to Kings county, Ca,lifornia, where Mr. Quinby bought a ranche. His health failed, however, and we came to Pasadena. He died of heart failure very suddenly (24 July, 1909), at his son's home, at Angiola, Cal., and was buried in Moun- tain View cemetery at Pasadena. He was one of those who answered the president's last call, for 100,000 more troops; he enlisted 16 May, 1864, to serve a hundred days. His discharge is dated 28 Oct. 1864. He was receiving $20 a month pension, at the time of his death, and at various times was in the Soldiers' Home at Sawtell, about five miles from Los Angeles."

The following year he had additional business places at 233 Greenwich st. and 385 Broadway, but in 1856 he had the last address only. In 1855 his firm was Quinby & Co., which remained till 1858; neither his name nor his firm's appears again in the directory. It was probably about that year that he mar- ried Susan E., daughter of Jacob Hunt, born 1833 at Greenburgh, N. Y. Mr. Quinby got into the papers in December, 1898, through exercising his right as a juryman in the Supreme Court at White Plains, and failing to convince his obstinate fellow- jury men who wanted to give a boy a $5000 verdict against the city of Yonkers, for injuries from falling into an excavation. Mrs. Susan E. Quinby died in 1908; her will was dated 7 Apr. 1887, proved 21 Mar. 1908 at White Plains. Mr. Quinby was living, 1914, on the New York Post road, corner Sound view ave.. White Plains.

Y.; accompanied his parents in 1829 to New York city, and returned to Chap- paqua in January, 1833. He again went to New York city in 1849, getting his certificate from the Chappaqua Meeting in July of the following year. He went into part- nership with his brother Valentine as a grocer in 1849 at 11 Orchard st.. New York city, and made his home with his brother at 278 Walker st. The firm was Quinby & Bro. The following year it was Quinby Bros., at 177 Spring St., and in 1852, at 94 and 96 Thompson st., Joshua's home being then at 196 Spring st. His name dofes not appear in later directories, and the Hicksite records at Chappaqua show that he returned there in January, 1854. He married Martha Moorhouse Stephenson; they are men- tioned in Bolton's History of Westchester. The record kept by Robert Dodge, the coffinmaker at Chappaqua, shows that two children of Joshua Quinby died there 4 and 9 Dec. 1869. Mr. Willet J. Quinby mentions two daughters of Joshua S., Adah and Jane Louise. Joshua S. Quinby died 28 July, 1894, says his gravestone at Chap- paqua.

Y.; accompanied his par- ents in 1829 to New York city and returned in January, 1833. He married in 1849, Lucy, daughter of Matthew and Lucy Van Orden, born 1829. He was granted a certi- ficate by the Hicksites in August, 1850, to remove from Chappaqua, having left there 11 Apr. 1850. In that year the New York city densus shows that he and his wife lived with his parents in the first district of the eighth ward. Valentine had begun his business life in New York in 1848 by the starting of a grocery at 11 Orchard st., his lodging being in the same building; the next year he took his brother Joshua S. as partner, the firm being Quinby & Bro., and lodged at 278 Walker st., with Joshua; the fol- lowing year their place of business was 177 Spring st., the style being Quinby Bros. They also had a firm called Quinby & Co., dealers in prepared flour at the same ad- dress. In 1852 and 1853 both brothers and the firm of Quinby & Co., were at 94 and 96 Thompson st., as dealers in flour. The home addresses of the brothers being given in the directory as Spring st., Valentine at No. 196 and Joshua at No. 198. Joshua left New York city soon after. Valentine's name does not appear in the directory dur- ing 1854-5, but in 1856 he was a merchant at 328 Wash- ington St., living at 103 Bedford st., his firm being Quinby & Kellogg, flour; they advertised as "wholesale dealers in flour, meal, starch, matches, etc., agent for C. A. Davis' Lansingburgh crackers." In 1858 Valentine H. Quinby is a wholesale jobbing and commission merchant at 376 Greenwich street, home, 103 Bedford street. He is called grocfer in 1859 and adds "powders" in 1860, which is in 1861 and 1862 explained as, or limited to, yeast powders, at 173 Chambers street, home at the Bedford street ad- dress, whence in 1863 he moved to 18 Harrison street, still at the former business address as grocer, where he remained through the year 1865. He moved his place of business in 1866, to 321 Wash- ington street, his home to 225 West 19th street, and his firm was Quinby & Smith that year. The following year the Washington street store was used for storage, and he was located as grocer at 100 Murray street; his home he moved to 319 West 24th street. It might be deduced that he was unsuccessful, as he appears in 1868 merely as a clerk; his home remains as before. In the following year, 1869, he was in a new business, that of machinery attach- ments, at 185 Washington street; that continues through 1870. In 1871, his last appearancfe, his business is given 454 The Qxjinbt Family as "new treadle motion, 191 Chambers street, and sales- man; home, Jersey City." Valentine died 5 mo. 17, 1872, aged 45 y. 3 m. 3 d.; his widow MatUda died 4 Mar. 1890, aged 60 y. 10 m. 14 d. (gravestones at Chappaqua). They are mentioned in Bol- ton's History of Westchester.

Mr. Quinby and his partner, William H. Weeks, sued the city, but lost on technical grounds. The case is printed in the Delaware reports. Mr. Quinby lives (1908) at Hope- well, N. J. 1248.

A district school with generally poor teachers, a private school in Friends' Meeting House two years, and part of one winter at the old 38th Street Public School in New York, living with his mother's brother, was about the extent. His family found that they could not make ends meet on the farm, so they sold out the spring of 1865, when Mr. Quinby was 22, and he went to New York and after a long hunt secured a situation as stock boy with Calhoun, Bobbins & Co., dealers in fancy goods and notions, corner of Vesey and Church streets, at a salary of $25.00 a month. This was about the close of the Civil war, when living was at the highest; Mr. Quinby had to pay $8 a week board, but got a raise before the year was out and took courage. Within 18 months he made his first trip on the road with samples and shortly afterwards became established as a regular traveling salesman and continued at this with the exception of two years, roughing it in Kansas, until his marriage in 1878. In the spring of 1879 he went to Cleveland, Ohio, as agent for Butterick Patterns, but in the spring of 1881 started in his former business, ladies' fancy goods, on Euclid Ave- nue in that city. His capital was limited and he would not allow himself to buy more than he could pay for, so the business was very small to start with. He paid for nearly everything in ten days and so established a good name with the trade and gradually grew with the city's growth, which was then only about 150,000. He did not advertise because he felt he would have made a poor showing in the papers compared with the stories his competitors did not hesitate to print. He aimed to give good value and al- ways kept his stock full and left it with his cu.stomers to learn that it was a good place to trade, and they soon found it out. In 1898 hte was notified thiit the old building was to be torn down to make room for the present Williamson Building. He could find no suitable room to move into and so was forced to lease ground for a term of j^ears and build. He moved into the new building at 500 Euclid Avenue, in March, 1899, and the busi- ness responded to the improved condition splendidly and continued to grow steadily, until near the time whfen hfe thought best to re- tire and take life easier. During the last few years of business, he broke away for a short trip during each winter; several times down to the West Indies, to California, to Florida, also a longer trip to the Mediterranean countries, Egypt, the Holy Land and back across Europe; another to Japan and China and a summer trip to northern Europe, taking in England, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Austria Hungary, Germany and Holland. In 1890 with a longing for country life, he very wisely bought about twelve acres on the Ridge just beyond Mr. John D. Rockefeller's Forest Hill, and here built a beautiful summer home under the grand spreading maples and oaks. This gave Mr. Quinby something besides business to think of, and after a few years with better transportatioh service, he turned it into an all the year round home. Since then he has added to both home and land until now hb has about twenty-eight acres, the house looking out over the city and Lake Erie, the rear of the estate extending well back in the country.

Bonnie Bank, with its rocky shore and balmy air, birds and flowers is delightful to them in winter, Mr. Quinby having an especially keen love of nature, but when spring comes thfey are glad to get back to beautiful Hill Crest again, among birds and flowers of a different kind. He takes a great interest in the Presbyterian Church of which he has been a member for the past forty years, and in civic and philanthropic work, but he still finds time to keep up his fine store, which is one of the best known in Cleveland. 1251.

In 1909 he organized the South Orange Field club's baseball nine for competition for the N. Y. Herald cup. That paper, (14 Apr. 1909) says: "He is displaying the same aggressive spirit which made Yale a power in college baseball when Quinby was a leader at New Haven. At Yale he was a second baseman, but this season he plans to strengthen the infield by working at third base." In September, 1915, he was invited by Phillips Andover to take charge of the Alumni Fund and to direct the Lawrence Edu- cational work at the academy. Mr. Quinby retired in August as Yale coach which he had been for three years. Mr. Quin- by has the following children: I.

Mr. Quinby was with them nine years, six of which he held the responsible posi- tion of Manager. In 1906 he bought a 196 acre farm in Prospectville, Montgomery county in partnership with his cousin William G. Reynolds, a son-in-law of J. Q. Atkin- son (see p. 204). While there Mr. Quinby was Tax Collector for the township. In 1908 he sold out to his partner and rented the J. Q. Atkinson Fruit Farm at Three Tuns, Pa. In 1911, Mr. Quinby went to Philadelphia and opened five fruit stores during the year. In 1912 the directory give him as a grocer at 134 South 2nd st. In the spring of 1912 he sold out the fruit business and moved on to the farm in Solebury where he now lives (1914). The farm has 72 acres and has been in his wife's family since 1834.

He fitted for college at New Hampton Literary Institution, New Hampton, N. H., (where he declaimed "The Impeachment of Warren Hastings" at the Declamation contest, 6 July, 1863) and Nichols Latin School at Lewiston, Me., and entered Bowdoin college at Brunswick, Me., in 1865, graduating in the class of '69 with the degree of A. B. At the Prize Declamation con- test at Bowdoin 6 July, 1868, Mr. Quinby declaimed "Virginius to the Roman Army." He pulled bow oar in the first six oared shell Bowdoin ever had. During his senior year at Bowdoin he was a member of Psi Up- silon, the Athenaean, Theta Kappa, and A. 0. D. At the Exhibition of the senior and junior classes, 5 Apr. 1869, Mr. Quinby delivered an oration or thesis on Na- poleon Bonaparte. The local paper said: "Quinby spoke of Bonaparte, as developed in warrior, orator and states- man, and paid a warm tribute to his genius, his labors, coming to round up an epoch in the world's history. Quinby is a spirited and effective speaker." Bowdoin college also granted Mr. Quinby the degree of A. M., in 1872. He married 22 June, 1870, at Lake Village (now Lakeport), N. H., M. Octavia, daughter of Benjamin James ' and Mehitable Aborn (Batchelder) Cole. (Their ancestry in all lines is minutely traced in the four volumes of New England Family History). Mr. Quinby held a position for a time with the Cole Mfg. Co. In 1872 he acquired the title of Colonel as a member of the staff of Governor Straw of New Hampshire. Mr. Quinby was elected 2 May, 1873, first assistant foreman of Niagara Engine Co., No. 5. He was initiated 28 Jan. 1875, into Chocorua Lodge 51, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, (30) 466 The Quinbt Family at Lake Village, but never pursued the subject further. He received an appointment as special agent of the Quar- termaster's Department of the War Department and he took his family to Washington, D. C, where they lived in 1878. While in Washington Mr. Quinby attended Columbian University Medical School, and graduated with a degree of M. D., 18 Mar. 1880. Still as special agent, he took testimony in connection with damage claims aris- ing out of army operations during the Civil War; he took his wife and children with him and lived during a part of 1879 at St. Louis, Booneville, California, RoUa, Spring- field and Sedalia, all towns in Missouri. Except while at California and Booneville, his son remained with Mrs. Quinby's parents in New Hampshire. In the fall of 1880 Mr. and Mrs. Quinby and the children lived at Har- risburg, Pennsylvania. The following year they sent their son to boarding school at Holderness, N. H., while they lived at York. Pa. PLANINTG MACHINE xi.v^vicv ^yjia., ^a. ^ Made by Cole Maoufacturing Co. lu 1885, MrS. Quittby went to Boston for the chil- dren's education, Mr. Quinby making the trip from Lake Village every Friday. He commenced in 1886 hosiery manu- facture at Lake Village with Thomas C. Clow as Quinby, Clow & Co., their factory being called the Passaconaway Mills. U. S. patent 355790 for an invention in connec- tion with the manufacture of hosiery was granted 11 Jan. 1887 to the same parties; U. S. patent 358383 for an inven- tion in connection with the manufacture of hosiery was also granted 16 Aug. 1887, to them, Mr. Quinby being assignee of a half interest. As president of the Cole Manufacturing Company, much of his business career has been devoted to the manufacture of machinery and railroad car axles. In 1889 he formed a partnership with Stephen B, Cole and erected large ice houses on the shore of Lake Paugus, near Lake Village, filled them with thousands of tons of ice and in July, 1890, completed the venture suc- cessfully by disposing of the entire quantity to Swift Bros,, the Chicago meat packers. The same year Col. Quinby was elected president of the newly organized Building and Loan Association at Lake Village. He was for many OcTAviA (Cole) Quinby, wife of Governor Quinby. The Quinby Family 467 years a member of the Freewill Baptist congregation, al- though he never joined that society and was a Unitarian in belief. He was chairman of the building committee that constructed the fine new church of the Freewill Bap- tists at Lakeport in 1892. Col. Quinby was elected 31 Jan. 1894, a director of the N. H. Life Insurance Co. and in October of that year. Vice President of the Laconia National Bank, of which he has been President since 1901. He entered politics, and as will be shown in the following article, held successively the offices of state leg- islator (1887-8), State Senator (1889-90), member of the council of Governor Tuttle (1891-2), and in 1908 was elected Governor of New Hampshire on the Republican ticket. Mrs. Henry B. Quinby was M. Octavia' Cole, the daughter of Benjamin James ' and Mehitable Aborn (Batchelder) Cole, and was born in what is now Lakeport, a part of the city of Laconia, N. H. She comes of a line of distinguished colonial ancestors. Amongst those of whom she is a direct lineal descendant are the William Copp who gave Copp's Hill to the then village of Boston for a cemetery/; of Harmon Atwood, one of the earliest of the members of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery company in the seventeenth century, an organization which is still the pride of Boston; of Councillor John Oilman, who was the guiding hand in the political affairs of the newlj^ erected province of New Hamp- shire in 1680; and of the Rev. Stephen Bachiler, the dissenting minister and graduate of Cambridge University in England, who came to Strawberry Bank, now the city of Portsmouth, N. IT., and was the most distinguished ot colonial minis- ters before Cotton Mather's time. For his serv- ices in the cause of religion, he was granted by the English king a curious coat of arms showing a sun rising below a green field, in the fore- ground of which is a plow, which was supposed to signify that the reverend gentleman was recog- nized as having used the plow of religion in the fallow ground of the hearts of the new colonists. Brigadier General Richard N. Batchelder, until 1900 Quartermaster General of the United States regular army, was Mrs. Quinby's uncle. She received her education at New Hampton Institute, followed by special courses at Bates College. Mrs. Quinby is a woman of wide reading, and together with an extraordinary fund of general information she possesses unusual clearness of view on the public questions of the day. She has always been an ardent believer in equal suffrage and in temper- ance and as opportunity has offered she has devoted herself to the advancement of these causes. She has travelled widely, both in Europe and America, and has the faculty of keen and incisive com- ment upon matters connected with her experiences. During the course of her early life she has devoted much time to music and art and her home is adorned with several really fine examples of her skill with the brush. 468 The Quinby Family She is a member of the Molly Stark chapter at Manchester, N. H., of the Daughters of the American Revolution and of the New York City chapter of the same organization. Governor Quinby served the state of New Hampshire with great distinction during his term of office; he succeeded in obtaining from the legislature the law and money to create the famous state roads of New Hampshire at a cost of over a million dollars; the rebuilding and enlarging of the State Capitol were also the work of his ad- ministration. After his term had expired the Republican party asked for the election of Governor Quinby as United States Senator; the Republican split brought about by the Bull Moose party however resulted in a protracted dead- lock in the legislature, with a Democratic senator as the outcome. Governor Quinby was the recipient of the degrees of A. M. and LL. D. from Dartmouth college and of LL. D. from Bowdoin college, and is a member of the board of Overseers of the latter institution. He and Mrs. Quinby spend the winter months in New York city where their children and grandson live, and where Governor Quinby is a director in the Sherman National Bank and has interests in other corporations, and where he is a member of the Union League Club and the University Club.

Camp, 3d, born 16 May, 1899, and now at- tending St. Pail's school at Concord, N. H. Biographical Sketch of Governor Quinby The following biographical sketch of Governor Quinby of New Hampshire was written by Hon. George H. Moses, the able and brilliant editor of thfe Concord Daily Monitor, and former Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Kingdom pf Greece. It was published early in 1908 in the Lewiston Journal. The article is as follows: "Governor Quinby comes of the sturdiest of Maine stock. His grandfather was Moses Quinby, who entered the Phillips Exeter Academy in 1799, at the age of thirteen, from Stroudwater, Is The Quinbt Family 469 and was contemporary there with Daniel Webster. He was a member of Bowdoin's first class. He died fifty-three years later, which was ten years before his grandson of whom these lines treat put the second Quinby name in the Bowdoin general cata- logue. With him at Exeter — as well as at Bowdoin — was George Thorndike, whose acorn has fulfilled the tradition of its increase at Brunswick. 'Lawyer and farmer,' say the records of Moses Quinby; but his son Thomas born at Westbrook in 1813, was neither. He was trained as a civil engineer and as such was a leader in his profession. While engaged in this work he fixed his home at Biddeford and there, June 10, 1846„ his first son Henry Brewer, was born. Henry completed his fitting for college at the Nichols Latin school in Lewiston. His class there was that of 1865. His class at Bowdoin was that of 1869; those were the days when Bowdoin traditions and customs like those of most colleges, were rather more robust than they are today. Phi Chi was then in its hieight of fame and prowess. Its battle-hymn ran: 'Phi Chi goes forth in regal state.' But be it known that during Quinby's sOphomore year, while he may have permitted Phi Chi to go forth, he always went first; for he was the president of the fratternity and maintained the place, as he had won it, by planning and carrying out just a trifle more daring an exploit than any of his classmates. "These were the days too, of 'sousing the freshmen;' and Gov- ernor Quinby can remember, if Governor Chamberlain cannot, of an interview they had during the fall of 1866 when Quinby's dialec- tics were too strong for the scholar so fresh from the wars, and when he won his case by arguing that the rule of expulsion for 'sousing the freshmen'applied by its very terms to those who were 'detected' in the act and that no circumstantial evidence like that of a sophomore and a bucket of water in a freshman entry con- stituted 'detection' even though the so'phomore admitted that he^ had purposed 'sousing the freshmen' and would doubtless have' been 'detected' in it if Tutor Packard hadn't hastened his appear- ance by about two minutes. The point was a fine one, but it was held to be well taken. "At Bowdoin, Quinby played baseball and caught on his class teim. He roomed in Maine Hall, boarded at the Tontine — and must have been rather prompter to pay than most college men, for his landlord at Brunswick, now living at Dover, was one of the staunchest Quinby men to be found in New Hampshire during the canvass both for the nomination and election of Quinby as Governor. He was a Psi U, and is the third of that fraternity to win the governorship of New Hampshire — the other two being Prescott and Bell from the Dartmouth chapter. Taft also is a Psi U, and Governor Quinby went to Washington for the inaugura- tion, for the purpose, among other things, of handing from Kappa '69 to Beta '78 the proper salutation. ,,,,_„ . .^ . "The whispering pines at Brunswick had hardly cast their shadow upon young Quinby's sheepskin before he was oflF to New Hampshire to keep an appointment which he had made while in that state some time previously and concerning which it may not be necessary to speak more in detail than is required in setting down the fact that in January, 1870, he was married to Miss 470 The Quinby Familt Octavia M. Cole at Lakeport, where since then has been his home. T^e took a degree in medicine, but if he ever wrote a prescription it was certainly neither for pay nor for publication; and for nearly forty years he devoted himself to the affairs of the Cole Manu- facturing Co., the control of which for more than eighty years has been in one family. The gathering years have brought traditions to the Cole Manufacturing Co., all the outgrowth of the remark- able sense of honor fostered by the sterling chlaracter of its founder, the late Hon. Benjamin J. Cole, and maintained and extended by his son-in-law and successor in the management. In the century or more that the Cole name has been connected with the industrial history of New Hampshire, it has never been clouded by a mo- ment's suspicion of the slightest letting-down from the highest standards. Periods of stress there have been, but they have all been weathered; and in its relations with both customer and em- ploye, the first regretted words yet remain to be spoken. As a young business man under the tutelage of Mr. Cole — who en- joyed the friendship of the leading men in New Hampshire and who himself had had a career in politics which stopped short only of the highest places — Mr. Quinby soon came to a wide circle of acquaintance, which he has ever since constantly enlarged on his own account; and in 1872 he was appointed a member on the staff of Governor Ezekiel A. Straw and secured the title of Colonel, which even now seems hard to shake off for the new designation. Staff appointments are by way of political preferment in New Hampshire, which indicates that Colonel Quinby was caught young at the game. This is probably true, for he has always been interested in public matters — and as a boy of sixteen was found taking his father's place as presiding officer at a Republican rally in Biddeford. "As a public speaker, he is far above the average. He served in the lower house of the legislature more than twenty years ago. It was the session of the famous 'railroad fight,' when partisan- ship for one or the other of the competing interests ran high. There were none to doubt where the gentleman from Gilford (now Lakeport) stood; for he took early occasion to notify his colleagues of his position by coming into the debate one day with a speech which, for good, clean-out English, and a sound, unmistakable statement of opinion, is good reading even now when the main occasion for its utterance is well-nigh forgotten. Two years later he was promoted to the State Senate, where the chief work of saving the so-called 'nuisance act,' the teeth of the old prohibi- tory law, fell to him and another colleague. In the division of labor. Senator Quinby drew the firing-line position and it was he who withstood the shock of debate on the measure, giving and taking at short range with the best of the Senate's trained men — and saving the day for his bill. "Two years later he took another step upward and was elected to membership in the governor's council. Important com- mittee assignments fell to him here, and many new enterprises of state origin and support passed under his hand, notably the carry- ing out of the project for New Hampshire's participation in the Chicago World's Fair and the construction of the new plant for the State College at Durham. The Quinby Family 471 "In 1902 he was chosen a delegate-at-large to the Minneapolis convention. A steadfast adherent to the theory as relates to the presidency, that one good turn deserves another, and believing that the Blaine movement of that year was ill-timed, futile and sure to prove of endless embarrassment to Mr. Blaine's real friends, he espoused the cause of Harrison's renomination; and, never shrinking from doing battle for his beliefs, he accepted des- ignation as a member of the committee on credentials — and stood by the fight until victory was secured. At this juncture in his career th,e way seemed open to him for promotion in whatever quarter of the political field he miglit cast a yearning gaze. The people had come to know him as a man of trained mind, sound convictions, remarkable capacity for expression, equal capacity for sustained effort, of attractive personality and high character, possessing the confidence of the party leaders and holding the admiration of the rank and file. A current commentator of those times wrote of Colonel Quinby predicting further honors in store for him and asked: Governor, congressman, senator — which? "He turned aside the governorship more than once. From 1892 to 1908 there probably never was a campaign where Quinby's name was not early mentioned as that of a suitable candidate for the head of the state ticket and where, if he had signified accept- ance of the honor, the party would not have rejoiced with unanim- ity that such a man as he had been found willing to lead the organization at the polls. In 1898 he had a nomination to Con- gress so near to his hand that bis fingers had but to close upon it; but they lay inert, and from 1892 to 1900 he took no specially prominent part in politics except as presiding officer of the state convention in 1896, when he held the gavel over the gathering which named for governor his old colleague in Governor Tuttle's council, Hon. George A. Ramsdell. Col. Quinby's speech on tak- ing the chair on that day was a revelation even to those who thoughli they had known him best. Into the limits of less than half an hour of delivery he compacted an oration of enduring quality, chaste in language, clear in thought, picturesque in ima- gery, stirring in suggestion — and delivered in splendid fashibn. More than one of his hearers that day was moved to comment that 'Tuttle's council held two men fit to be governor' — a truth now brought to fulfillment. "In 1900, Col. Quinby became a candidate for the United States Senate. That was a memorable year in New Hampshire politics. Senator William E. Chandler was waging his sunset cam- paign and picturesque incidents were arising in every quarter of ftie field, where Richmonds outnumbered those of Bosworth. Five men were finally voted for in the caucus, and of the four who failed, Col. Quinby was the only one whose support stood at the figure where he had placed it in prediction. 'I thought I was running for the Senate,' says Col. Quinby by way of comment upon it. "A tour of Europe followed this hazard of fortunes and then further freedom from politics, save as a formulator of party plat- forms. In the fall of 1902 President Theodore Ro'ostevelt had been a year in the White House; and as the party conventions approach- ed in the various states, it was questioned whether they should endorse his administration. Those who held to the negative 472 The Quinbt Family argued thjat such endorsement would strengthen him for the nomi- nation which he was certain to seek in 1904, and the contention was animated concerning the matter. In New Hampshire a few bold spirits decided to go the limit. By a 'few' in this instance, is meant tWo men. One of them was Col. Quinby; and again, he drew the firing-line job. He was made chairman of the com- mittiee od resolutions at the state convention and was entrusted with a resolution which not only endorsed the Roosevelt adminis- tration to date but declared boldly 'for his renomination in 1904.' Single-handed and alone Col. Quinby forced this declaration through his committee and carried it triumphantly before tl^e convention where it was hailed with enthusiasm. "In 1908, at the fj>ring convention. Colonel Quinby was again chairman of the plalform committee and was instrumental in committing the party anew to the progressive declarations of the previous canvass, little thinking at the time that he would be called upon to make the fight for the governorship upon those declarations. In the early summer of 1908, the embers of the bitter contest through which the Republicans of New Hampshire had passed two years before still smoldered; and the unsatisfied ambitions of two of the contestants threatened to fan the coals into consuming flame. At this juncture, as in every other canvass for the^ past sixteen years, were heard the laments that 'so good a man as Quinby could not be brought into the canvass;' and in point of fact entrance into a political contest never looked so much like a duty to one's party as did the condition of things as presented to Colonel Quinby by qualified spokesmen for his party. His consent was not easily gained, but when he had once given his word, he never wavered. He won; and a party seemingly united upon his candidacy made his nomination unanimous and entered the campaign. He won; and to win a governorship in New Hampshire means to secure not a plurality alone, but a majority over all — a larger contract than Maine now requires of its candidates for the chief magistracy. "In Governor Quinby's career, there are no picturesque ex- tremes of position with which to embellish the narrative. His family had long been one of position and substance and he was enabled from the start to possess the advantage of the well-born. He made his way through school and college with no privation; and his life as a whole has been that of a simple American gentle- man. To the traditions of that class he has steadfastly conformed and his life has been modest, unassuming, filled with good deeds and meriting the approbation of his fellows. Parallel with his progress in public life, which after all has been the incidental rather than the main trend of his career, has run the straight line of his useful endeavor as a private citizen, immersed in business, engaged in banking and pursuing those fraternal and social con- nections which attach to the man of natural instincts and training. "ThHis we find his associates in two banks placing him at the head of their boards, and his brethren in the bonds of Masonry elevating him to the highest posts which their order in the state and nation can command, including that of Active 33°. Social clubs of repute in New Hampshire and in the metropolis of the nation also carry his name upon their rosters. The church finds him a steadfast supporter and all good causes know him to their B C o C3 AuTiiiiN i>; THE Garden at Lakepoet. Governor Qdinby at Home ^akeport, N. H.)

Not, however, is it that his life has continuously followed the line of least resistance; for there are many instances where the way has not been easy and where many a man would hiave avoided the issue. He never has. His word has often been slow in the giving, but his action has always squared with it. It was thus that he came to the governorship — which, in truth, is the tribute of his fellows to him and to his character. What he has so hardly won a man of less lofty character might easily have lost. And having won it, the governorship is to him what every other public or private preferment has been, an opportunity. The good use be is making of it has already been foretold in a lifetime of sincerity." 1454. Fred' {Thomas^, Moses'', John^, Joseph^, Jo- seph*, Robert^ Robert^) born 18 Feb. 1853, at Buxton, Me., and was educated in the Biddeford schools and at the Maine Wesleyan Seminary at Readfield, Me. He grad- uated at the Detroit Medical School in 1874, and after- wards took a post-graduate course at the College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons at New York city. Dr. Quinby prac- tised his profession at Jefferson, Saco and Biddeford, Me. He was City Physician of Biddeford during a severe epi- demic of smallpox, with which he coped successfully. He had great ability as a ready speaker and writer, and was a frequent contributor to the local papers. He married Carrie I., daughter of Henry Ross of Biddeford, and they had one child, Fred Henry Quinby, who died in infancy. In 1884 Dr. Quinby was Government Physician for the Ponca and Otoe Indian Agencjies in Indian Territory. On the formation of the city of Lexington in the new territory of Oklahoma, he was elected its first Mayor; and he founded and edited the local newspaper there. When it passed into other hands, he continued to be a frequent contributor to its columns. Dr. Quinby died 3 Feb. 1894, at Lexington, Okla. The Leader of Lexington, under that date says: "Dr. Childs was over from Purcell yesterday in attendance upon Dr. Quinby, who has erysipelas in the face and head. He reports the doctor to be in a critical condition." Dr. Quinby died that day, and the Boston (Mass.) Journal in a long obituary said: "He was pos- sessed of more than ordinary ability, being a gifted writer and a ready speaker. In the diagnosis and treatment of cases he was very successful. Warm-hearted and sym- pathetic, he leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his loss." W. F. Laney, Esq., the postmaster at Lexington, wrote: "Dr. Quinby was a good physician, a kind-hearted gentleman, and was universally loved and respected." Carrie I. Quinby married second, Charles Hersey of Saco, 474 The Quinby Family Me., and after his death she married third, Randall Smith and lives at 4 Salem st.,"* Springfield, Mass. (1910). A poem written by Dr. Quinby when be was twenty-four years old, entitled "Spring Cleaning," shows his whimsical fancy and skill as a versifier. A few stanzas are as follows: "Since ancient days the custom's been, on every first of May, For each good wife her house to clean, and bugs and spiders slay. The insect tribe is filled with woe, with fear each mouse doth shake; Even the rats turn white as snow, and with foreboding quake. And well they may, for e'er the day shall close in evening twilight, Each varmint she will ruthless slay, from cellar unto skylight. The men folks are in sorry plight before the day is done; They've been at work hard since the light of May day's morning sun. * * * * 0, Powers divine! All ye that be to mercy ever leaning. Grant that this world ere long may see the end of dread spring cleaning." 1455. Thomas Freeman' (Thomas*, Moses'', John*, Joseph^, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert^) born 10 May, 1855, at Biddeford, Me. He attended school at Biddeford and at Westbrook seminary, and then went to Phillips Exeter academy, where he was a member of Psi Upsilon; he then attended Union College at Schenectady, N. Y., and received his medical education and degree of M. D. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at New York city, class of 1878. He took a post-graduate course at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. On his return he settled in Min- neapolis, Minn., in 1880, where he has since practised his profession. He was for four years professor of materia medica at the Minnesota Hospital college, and served three years as Health Inspector of Minneapolis. In 1889, the U. S. Pension office appointed a board of three examining surgeons at Minneapolis which included Dr. Quinby. In Nov. 1894, Dr. Quinby ran for election to membership in the Board of Education and ran over 6000 votes ahead of the nearest other candidate, and was subsequently for four years president of the board, and also four years member of the Library Board of Minneapolis and of the Board of Tax Levy. The record of his election to the Board of Education is worth including here, as it is over a thousand votes ahead of the successful candidate for Mayor of the city, Robert Pratt, Rep. 19626: 1455DR.

In 1911 he was elected president of the Hennepin County Medical Society. He was for ten years local surgeon of the "S oo Line" (Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Sainte Marie R. R.). He married Justine I. Schaller of Hastings, Minn. Within a few years they have built a beautiful home at 2424 Humboldt ave.. South; Dr. Quinby's office is in the Don- aldson Building. 1456.

He was sick eight days with typhoid fever, which resulted in his death 10 Apr. 1884, at Saco. Mrs. Quinby is now (1912) Mrs. Dyer, and lives at Saco. "She has a wonderful inlaid table brought by Mr. Quinby's ancestors from abroad, an heirloom." The probate records of York county at Alfred, Me., show that Joseph G. Deering of Saco was appointed admin- istrator of John Quinby's estate; that the real estate was appraised at $2500, goods and chattels at $10924.72; rights and credits at $7067,22. Henrietta E.

Knight to Lucy Ann Raynes, and took his bride to Boston where he had settled five years before at the age of 19, and where he had become converted to religion at the Bromfield st. church. He commenced business in Boston in 1862 as a carpenter with Chester Holmes, as the firm of 476 The Quinby Family Holmes & Quimby, and in 1857 was living at Chelsea, Mass. At the time of the census of 1860 he was at Boston ward 2, with his family. At the outbreak of the war, he enlisted in company F of the 39th Massachusetts Volun- teers, and later was made lieutenant of the 30th regiment, consisting of colored troops. "After Lincoln's determina- tion to enlist negro soldiers, Lieut. Quimby was employed as a recruiting officer, and was very successful. He was ever the friend of the black man, whose freedom was his motive for becoming a soldier." United States patent 51120 for a fish decoy was granted 2 May, 1865, to Ira B. Quimby and Edward Low of East Boston, to the latter of whom, Ira the inventor had as- signed a part interest. He became a resident of East Boston about 1859 where he lived through 1861 at 95 Princeton st., and thereafter was at 6 Lamson court in 1865-6. He lived at 39 Hayes st.. East Boston, to 1873, when he removed to 93 Webster st., where he remained till 1878. He was in the real estate and building business for twenty years. He was for twenty-two years a mem- ber of the Saratoga street church, of which for several years he was an officer. He then spent fifteen years at WoUaston, Mass., where he also had an official connection with the church. Then he spent fifteen years at Maiden, Mass., where up to the time of his death (at the age of 80) he was an honored member of the Robinson Methodist church. He dropped dead at Asbury Grove, Hamilton, Mass., while attending a Methodist camp meeting, 2 Sept. 1910. Up to the time of his death he had carried on his real estate business at Charlestown, Mass. Burial took place at York Village, Me. Mr. Quimby was a deeply religious man; "he was a staunch temperance man, which for him meant personal total abstinence and no quarter for the liquor traffic," says his obituary notice in a religious paper, which adds: "Wonderful grace has been given to his widow in her affliction. When this husband of her youth died, she said, 'God was nearer than we thought.' He has been very near ever since." Mrs. Quimby lives (1915) with her son Arthur, at 158 Walnut st.," Maiden, Mass.

The wedding took place at Emmanuel church, Boston; the cere- mony was performed by Rev. Leighton Parks, D.

In 1893 they lived at Waltham, Mass. A few years later Mr. Quinby became a member of one of the greatest banking houses in the United States, Blair & Co., and settled in New York city. He has a country home at Brewster, N. y. He is a member of various New York clubs in- duding the Down Town, Union League, and the Sleepy Hollow Country Club, and in the winter lives at the Hotel Plaza.

Mr. Quinby in 1895 inherited the business and property of Elias R. Hunnewell. The business was closed out soon after, and Mr. Quinby became associated with the firm of Perry, Whitney Co., and later with James I. Wingate & Son of Boston, well-known decorators and furnishers, of 400 Boylston st., where he has been in business since 1905. Mr. and Mrs. Quinby visited England and Europe in 1900.

Quinby, after t^e death of his father, lived with his grandfather at Westbrook, where hte attended the public schools until ten years of age. He thfen went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where for six years he lived with an uncle, and furthered his education in the schools of that city. Returning east when he was sixteen 31) 482 The Quinbt Family years of age, he followed the sea with his step-father, Captain Curtis, whb was engaged in the merchant marine service. He was gradually promoted until at the time he left the service he was serving in the capacity of mate. The career of a seaman did not appeal to him, and upon leaving the seafaring life, in 1863, he enlisted in the 1st Maine Light Artillery, and continued in the service of his country until the close of the Civil war. During this service he participated in a number of battles, including Win- che^er (in September, 1864), Cedar Creek, and others. He was mustered out in June, 1865, and upon his return to Maine settled at Augusta, where for five years he was employed in the mechani- cal department of the "Gospel Banner," there mastering the printer's trade, while also acting as bookkeeper. Mr. Quinby then became bookkeeper for the Bodwell Granite Company, of Vinal Haven, Maine, in which capacity he continued for a period of about three years, at the end of that time resigning this position to become bookkeeper and financial man for Stacy, Adams & Jones, shoe manufacturers of Brockton. This was in 1875, and after three years he became a member of the firm, taking the place of S. Gardner Jones, the firm then becoming Stacy, Adams & Co. Messrs. Stacy and Adams were salesmen, and while they were engaged in selling the product of the factory Mr. Jones had been the practical shoemaker, and Mr. Quinby looked after this office and financial end of the business. From a small beginning this business has grown steadily and rapidly, and today the pro- duct of this well-known concern is known and sold all over the world, having a wide reputation for superior quality and style, [n 1908 the business was incorporated under the laws of the State of Massachusetts as the Stacy-Adams Company (with a capital stock of $150,000), of which William H. Stacy is president, Oliver B. Quinby, treasurer, and James H. Cunningham, superintendent. In February, 1910, the business was installed in a new six-story brick factory building, erected for the purpose, on Montello street, near Centre street, this building covering a part of the site occupied by this concern since its first establishment. The Stacy- Adams Company manufactures a fine grade of men's high quality shoes, which retail from $5 per pair upward, and has a capacity of from 1,200 to 1,500 pairs of shoes per day, giving employment to from 350 to 400 hands, among whom are some of the most skilled shoe workers in the city of Brockton, which city is noted the world over for the quality of its workmen in this line. This concern holds membership in the National Boot and Shoe Associa- tion of Rochester, New York. Fraternally, Mr. Quinby is a member of the Masonic organiza- tion, holding membership in Bethlehem Lodge, F. & A. M., of Augusta, Maine, of which he was secretary and recorder for several years; Jerusalem Chapter, R. A. M., of Hollowell, Maine; and Bay State Commandery, Knights Templar, of Brockton. He is also an active member of the Commercial Club and the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Club, of Brockton, and holds membership in Fletcher Webster Post, G. A. R., of Brockton. Mr. Quinby has been prominently identified with the financial institutions of the city, being an incorporator of the Brockton Savings Bank, and in January, 1895, became a director of the Home National Bank, in The QuiNBT Family 483 which capacity he has since continued. In political faith Mr. Quinby is a Republican, but has avoided public honors, preferring to give his undivided attention to his business. Mr. Quinby is endowed with keen intelligence, marked execu- tive ability and conservative judgment in business and financial affairs, and enjoys the respect and esteem of the community in which the greater part of his active business life has been spent. Quiet and dignified in manner when first approached, he readily displays cordial friendliness when on a subject he finds interesting. He is fond of his intimate friends, and enjoys their company, and can be found occasionally spending an evening at the club as a recreation from business cares, though he is devoted to his home, where his evenings are generally spent. Mr. and Mrs. Quinby are active members of Unity Church of Brockton, which Mr. Quinby has served several years as a member of tb.e stianding committee. Mrs. Quinby is much interested in charitable work, and devotes much of her time to the work in connection with the Day Nursery and the Wales Home, of Brockton, both of which, together with all benevolent projects, receive consideration from her and her husband. 1469.

George Franklin' {Benjamin Franklin^, John'', Joseph^, Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert, Robert^) born 31 Dec. 1858, in Fourth st., Boston (I have been unable to entice him into correspondence, and the following facts I have therefore collated from various records and publica- tions.) Mr. Quinby lived with his parents in 1877 at 75 Dennis st., Boston, and was a student in the school of Mechanicial Arts, Mass. Institute of Technology, 1877-8. He was married first, 31 Dec. 1882, at Boston, by Rev. O. T. Walker, to May I., daughter of James W. and Irene M. Dunbar, aged 17, born at Warren, Me. In 1883 he was an assistant engineer on steam fire engine 14 at Centre St., Roxbury, rooming at 43 Linwood st. ; in 1884 he roomed on Centre st. He joined his uncles about 1885 in the manufacture of circular machine brushes at 30 Hanover St. Mr. Quinby and his wife May were evidently separated by the law, for she was married second, 23 Nov. 1887, by Rev. Julian K. Smith at Boston, to William L., son of Asa and Susan C. Huff, a printer, aged 22, born at Portland, Me. Mr. Quinby boarded at Woodville st. from 1890 through 1894, and perhaps later. He was married second, 19 Nov. 1890, by Rev. Charles R. Tenney at Boston, to Mrs. Florence M. Wheeler, daughter of HoUis C. and Caro- line S. Pinkham, age 23, born in Boston. About 1892 he became manager of the machine brush factory at 129 Sum- mer st. In the meantime he had become a member of the National Guard, and in 1892 he was captain of company K, First regiment of Infantry; he was one of the judges of the prize drill of the Chauncy-Hall battalion, 27 May, 1892. Mrs. Quinby composed a piece of music called the Fawn schottische, which was copyrighted by Mr. Quinby 16 Nov., The Quinby Family 486 1899 (No. 74798). The next year Mr. Quinby took out U. S. patent No. 637675 for the invention of a spout level and plumb, granted 11 Sept. 1900, and 19 Nov. following he copyrighted another of his wife's musical compositions, agaiir the Fawn schottische (No. 17307). Mr. Quinby was an ardent supporter of Mayor Hib- bard of Boston, who appointed him to a position in the delinquent division of the city collecting department in May, 1909. By that time Capt. Quinby had been advanced to the grade of Major in the National Guard, and his home was at 1 Shenandoah st., Dorchester. As such, he was a guest at the 48th annual reunion and banquet of the First Regiment Volunteer Infantry Veteran Association, 25 May, 1909, and in August of that year participated with his troops in the war game of Reds and Blues, which at- tracted attention throughout the country. The papers of 28 Aug. 1909, report concerning these operations: "Re- garding the victory of the Coast Artillery corps (blue) over the red cavalry at South Hanson on Thursday of last week, three times the corps beat back the attach of the cavalry; and in the second attacik, 48 men of the Four- teenth New York regiment were cJaptured by the Coast Artillery. Major Quinby needed more strength in his posi- tion, and Capt. B. B. Shedd of the sixth company went to his assistance. He executed a flank movement and cap- tured the New York men. The action of Capt. Shedd was loudly cheered, and Gen. Leonard Wood, the chief umpire, who witnessed it, smiled with delighted approval." Maj. Quinby was detailed as cburt for the trial of privates Ma- honey and Edgerley, Second company of the Coast Artillery and held his first session, 6 Dec. 1909. By 1911, Major Quinby had risen to the rank of Lieut. Colonel. Maj. Quinby's c'onnection with the Boston Fire department continued, and he was one of the Aides of the Chief Marshal at the unveiling of the firemen's monument, 13 June, 1909, at Forest Hills cemetery. Mrs. Quinby composed a piano piece, the "Ancients' Parade," which her husband copyrighted 19 May, 1904 (No. 71131); and she copyrighted 11 Dec. 1908 (Nos. 196096-7) two songs entitled: "Bonita," and "One who is the Best of All." The Quinbys live (1915) at 1 Shenandoah St., Dorchester, Mass. Mrs. Elizabeth H. Quinby lives with them. 1472. Emmanttel Swedenborg* {Joseph Bailey', Jo- seph'', Joseph^ Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert', Robert^) born 1 Nov. 1859, at New Orleans, La.; went with his family during the war to Cincinnati, and lived at Newport and 486 The Quinbt Family Dayton, Ky. Mr. Quinby went on the stage as a player of Shakespere and the more serious dramatic works, adopt- ing the stage name of E. S. Laurie. He married Katherine McDaniel of Cincinnati, by whom he had two daughters; the marriage bond was afterward severed by the court, and Mrs. Quinby married a man named Rivers who has died. She lives (1912) in California. Emmanuel S. Quinby died as the ultimate result of falling through a trap in a theatre while playing the part of Damon in Damon and Pythias. For sev- eral years thereafter, he had white swellings on the leg, which finally caused his death in 1894 at Bakersfield, Cali- fornia. He was buried there as E. S. Laurie Quinby. Children: I. Sylvia" Quinby, married and has (1912) one child; II. Elizabeth'" Quinby, unmarried (1912). 1473. Fkanklyn ' {Joseph Bailey^, Joseph ', Joseph ', Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert', Robert^) born 1863 at Cin- cinnati, Ohio, and recorded as Isaac Franklin Quinby; mar- ried first, 15 May, 1887, at Centralia, 111., Carrie Morgan, by whom he had two children. The law dissolved the mari- tal bond, and he married second, in Sept. 1911, Mrs. May T. (Smith), ("a cousin of the famous actor, Sol Smith Russell"). Mr. Quinby's career has been varied; like his father, he was a poet, and wrote a part of a blank verse epic called the "Columbiad," of which a good sample fol- lows. Mr. Quiiiby is also an artist, and like two of his brothers, a Shaksperian actor; like his brother Laurie, he was an editor. Parallelism runs through this talented family in a remarkable fashion. In 1906 and 1908 Mr. Quinby was the candidate of the Independence League for United States congressman in the eighth district. New York city. In 1906 he filed with the Board of Elections an independent petition, which, however, was invalidated through lacking 200 names. In the next campaign Mr. Quinby attributed the theft of eight sheets from the peti- tion of 1906 to opposing political interests. Mr. Quinby, however, went down with his party. At that time and for a number of years Mr. Quinby held a position on Mr. Hearst's New York American, and at the same time con- ducted a law practice with an office at 45 Franklin St., near the New Criminal Court building. Mr. Quinby came into newspaper prominence again in 1909, when he was the sole beneficiary under the will of Mrs. Mary Gertrude Kraus, an elderly lady who died 5 June, 1909. She left him her fortune, as she explains in her will, because of his 1473FRANKLYN9 QuiNBT 1476CASSIUS Clayo Quinbt (see p. 492). 1472EMMANUEL S.9 QUINBY (photo, by Core, Cincinnati) (p. 485).

Mrs. Kraus's relatives contested the will and after a four days' trial, the Surrogate of New York county set the will aside on the ground of the lady's mental in- competency, and Mr. Quinby received nothing.

"Back in that vague antiquity ojf time — Whereto the mind from retrospection shrinks — The restless globe had wheeled its countless rounds. Urging from out the everlasting day Its alternating hemispheres to night * * * Thie oceans too, that girdled us about And up and down our sands the pebbles chased, Had in their fury lashed the scornful rock And in their slumber lulled the wavelet song To the smooth beach, whereon the native foot Ere Adam in the garden plucked fruit. Strolled to the beach and bathed his swarthy skin And worshipped to the Spirit on the deep; And scores of times beheld the morning break And stud the mighty sapphire with its gold; Nor e'er beheld the stranger ships or sail Cure the horizon's blue monotony; And augured not the burning eye of morn Had left a vast world of the East in night * * * And yet the Oriental peoples slept. Dreamless of suspicion that we shared Th' eternal golden stove of heaven with, them — That made their day our night, our night their day. So went the world — ^two halves — and both alike, In mutual ignorance, deemed itself the all * * * * * * That worthy son of Italy (The cradle of so many mighty men) Who, to the genius born, plucked from the stars His knowledge and their law; and toward their flight * * * So even did he set his anxious sail. Which belhed large beneath the wooing wind. Attained, across the vessel-virgin foam. His daring destination, to his fame And the eternal glory of the earth — That raised his grand ambition to his goal. And joined the halves, and made the half-world whole." 1474. Joseph Bailey' (Joseph Bailey', Joseph^, Jo- sephs Benjamin", Joseph*, Robert', Robert^) born 1 July 1865, at Cincinnati, Ohio, and lived there about 22 years; 488 The Quinby Family married first, 17 June, 1892, at Dallas, Texas, by Rev.

He married second, 26 Sept. 1894, at Newport, Ky., Pearl May, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Pleasants) Thomp- son of Rotherham, England, born 14 May, 1874, at New- port, Ky. Mr. Quinby in 1913 lives at 433 Franklin ave., Brooklyn, N.

Mr. Quinby became a practicial printer; went to Omaha, and founded the Omaha Chancellor, a weekly magazine of high class, of which he is still publisher and editor in 1914. He is a State Senator from the Fourth District of Nebraska and is a member of the Senate Committees on Finance, Ways and Means, Judiciary, Labor, Municipal Affairs, Revenue and Taxation and Enrolled and Engrossed Bills, being chairman of the last.

Sh'e ^aduated from the Omabk High school in 1913; her father with characteristic whimsicality wrote me that "she promises to make the name immortal." It is a source of keen regret that space will not permit me to print the whole of a long autobiographical letter Mr. Quinby wro^te his daughtler; here follow some extracts from it: "No. 916 Dodge Street, Dundee, Omaha, May 29, 1912. "Dearest Little Minerva: — I have often thought, during cer- tain meditative moments, that the time may some day come when you would be desirous of reading over the simple story of the early life and growth of 'Daddily Dear', and so I am going to set 1474 Joseph Bailey" Quinby AiND Family (19J0). The Quinbt Family 489 doiwn certain things in my life, just for your satisfaction in days to come. It was in the mdrning of a certain day, I believe it was Tuesday, thp date being th,e eighth of December, 186if8, in a frame house on Madisbn street, between Third and Fqlirth, in th^e city of Covington, Kentucky, that I made my advent, this time, into this 'vale of tears.' Brother Franklyn used to tell me that his first sight of me was when he returned from schoo) and saw a 'squalling youngster kicking his feet into the air, lying on sister Lizzie's lap.' You see they all had the advantage of me, for I do not recall any of this, and because I do not, I simply state it to you for what it may be worth, leaving to your own mature dis- crimination whether any of it is worthy of acceptance. "Because I was born on thp birthday of my mother's brother, John Laurie, they named me for him. Later in life I preferred to reverse the order of these names, calling myself Laurie John; you see the tendency always was with me to arrange things to suit myself. For doing this, however, I had some reason. In those days there was a prize fighter who had made himself quite noto- rious. His name was John L. Sullivan. I had no liking for 'sluggers,' and so boys and men, whether tt) irritfete me or not, would speak of me as John L., just as they did of him. I did not like that. Thfen I thought that Laurie J. Quinby sounded a bit more euphonious, that it was better balanced and such like things, all of which at th^t time did and still do seem sufficient reason for my writing my name as I please. Thien a name is only a label, and I see no reason why any one should not be conceded the right to write his name as he chooses, regardless of any other con- sideration. However, I have always gone on the theory that if I have ever done anything I should be sorry for I am gjad of it, for in the doing of those things we at least learn tl\e lessons of right conduct. We learn what not to do the next time. "Soon after I was born, our family moved back to Cincinnati. I used to think they had moved over to Kentucky purposely to have me born on the 'dark and bloody ground,' but thfen what matters where one is born? Our life there in Cincinnati, again I do not recall, only that my older brothers used to tell me that on one occasion the entire 'mit' of them got a 'whaling' because they had lost track of me, leaving me to wander off into unexplored fields alone. You note the native tendency already manifesting itself. It is said they finally found me, after the whole neighbor- hood had been aroused, complacently munching a monster piece of water melon which the corner grocer had given to me. I don't know whether I got it too, for sauntering off, or not. I forget all about it, but I presume that was my lot, for, and I say it in all respect, that was one of the time-honored principles of my dear mother. She had not grown out of the old idea that 'children should be licked once in a while, whether they need it or not.' "The next, I presume, of any consequence since it provided for me an entirely new and ill-adapted environment, I believe, for my peculiar nature, was the removal of our family back to Kentucky into the then little town of Dayton, and to the farthest end of Dayton, When I was eleven years old, the days when I was not at school were spent at our old print shop. It was there I learned to set type. I have not been absent from 'the trade' very much during the years that have followed. 490 The Quinbt Family "Soon after I placed your mother in first place in my heart's affections, I felt that I had to strike out into other fields, and thinking that the West was my goal, finally, just before Christmas, 1888, joined brother Franklyn in Kansas City. I dreaded going so far away, not only from my 'sweetheart,' but from my dear old father, who was then in his fatal illness, but I had to go. We never can tell why we are impelled to do some things. My first service in Kansas City was as a deputy assessor, which brother Frank had secured for me. It was only for a month. My duty was in going about from house to house making the list of per- sonal property upon which the owners were later to be 'fined.' "In the district in which I worked, there was a carriage maker, Calvin Toomey, who offered me a place with him. When my assessing work was finished I went to work for him, remaining until the following winter. "After the funeral of dear old dad I returned to Kansas City, taking my pjace with the carriage man, but leaving there within a few weeks! Not long after this I retulrned to my old home at Cincinnati. My elder brother Emanuel was an invalid, with a wife and two children, and my mother a widow, shifting about here and there. I felt that my duty was there. For a time, six months or so, I worked as a reporter on the Kentucky Post at Cov- ington. Then I engaged myself with the Big Four railroad, as a collector on the trains running from Cincinnati to Cleveland. "I landed in Omaha in the evening, about five o'clock, of Thursday, June 16th, 1898. Not for a long time having any defi- nite idea of remaining there, I made little effort at locating myself in any profitable situation. My reception here had been so cordial by some folks whose warm friendships I still retain, that finally I grew to like Olmaha immensely. It has grown upon me ever since, and I have never yet felt a desire to leave it. But in my early months here I was awfully lonely and forlorn. I had left 'my old Kentucky home' about the middle of May preceding, and was very homesick to see my little family. However, I was determined never to return to Cincinnati to live, so long as hope held out to me the comforting thought that soon I would have my little wife and baby with me. I was ill-prepared, financially, to receive you and your mother, but you were good enough to oome to me at last on the 19th of September, about four months after I had bade you good-bye in Dayton. Some day you may know the tender emotions you aroused in me when you, just four years old, danced about me, merely laughing in gladness at seeing papa again. You were too full to speak, you could only laugh. "My varying fortunes here, with the assistance of one of thje bravest little women that ever came to bless any one's life, while at times very trsdng and uncertain finally have shown that their tendency was fotward and upward, so that how I can look back- ward over the more than fourteen years that I have been here with the satisfaction that the entire course has been a forward one. "I have hinted elsewhere in here of my early ambition to be an orator or an editor. My oratory is a joke, and perhaps so are my editorial 'triumphs.' But some seven years ago I determined that I would make some kind of an effort in the editorial line, and having a print shop on my hands, started what has becbme 1475HON.

My first thought was that I would publish it once a month more as an advertisement for my busi- ness, aiming to make it an artis?tic thing in appearance, and through that publicity, aid my job printing bui^ness. I heeded, too, some form of medium through which to express the growing thought within me, thinking it would also afford me an opportunity to gain through practice, some of the arts of expression and literary training I had so signally missed in my early days. At least in the latter attainments I have made some headway. But it has done more than that. It not only did accomplish some publicity for me locally, which I was able to utilize in pushing my business, but it brought me into touch with some of the finest minds of this day, so that while the direct returns to me have not been sV) largely financial, they have been a splendid gain for me in many ways. "Don't you think I ought to quit? I do, but still the thought mounts, and I would ask that you preserve this letter, just as a memento from me, and in fifty years from this date (I may still be with you), I wish you to take out this old dilapidated paper and read these facts: "That at that time there will not be a war ship in the world, except such as may be found in museums. That customs tariffs, which teach men of different nations to hate each other, will be no more. That there will be no subject peoples in the world, save only those lower orders of races, and they will only be under a tutelage, as it were, to men of high type, whose only aim will be to aid them in reaching a higher plane. That taxes upon in- dustry and thrift will have long since been forgotten. That men will no longer gamble in anything, much less the land, God's footstool, given for the benefit of all his children, and that all men shall dwell in amity and peace, each with plenty, none to starve or shiver in winter's blasts. "Our patent laws will be revised by rewarding the mventor in fact and not in the fictitious way that we now do it. The in- vention shall be free to the use of all — each paying to the in- ventor a royalty for its use, which government may collect for him. Money shall no longer be made of precious metals, but men having learned wiser means of making headway in the world than through oppressing their fellows, the government will supply a medium of exchange based upon the needs of commerce. Elec- tricity shall perform so many of the things that contribute to the comfort of men, that drudgery shall be no more. Government will still exist, but it shall be merely the agent to do the will of the people, controlled by the people and in the interests of the people. "Inventions of every sort will be so numerous that 1 cannot take space to enumerate them to you. Among these things will be a perfect system of communication and transportation. Aerial travel will have been solved though not upon any of the plans now in vogue. Instruments of communication will be so perfect that men will carry telephones in their pockets by means of which they will be able to transport themselves at will to any place without the use of artificial means, and talk and see people under the same "°° "Religion will be pure and undefiled. Men's thoughts will 492 The Quinby Family be so much farther along the higher planes of life, that their transcendent state will be almost spiritual, compared with what it is today. Oh, there are glad times ahead for this old world, that has travailed so long in its struggle to rise, and you shall live to see vastly more of these things, comparatively speaking, than I have seen, though in my time there has been wondrous progress. We then shall see the 'parliament of man, the federation of the world.' "Now my little one, I must stop, and in imagination kiss you good night, but I would also reach across that chiism of years, when you shall be living amidst all this beauty, happiness and peace, and placing upon your forehead the kiss of a nonogenarian, or wafting from shadowy shores of time, some loving thoughts for your happiness, declare that I had lived in hopes of that happy time, and tried to bring it on. Your loving Daddy, Laurie J. Quinby." 1476. Cassius Clay * {Joseph Bailey^, Joseph ', Jo- seph^, Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert*, Robert^) born in Novem- ber 1872 at Dayton, Kentucky; his parents named him Charles Sumner Quinby, but changed it to Josiah Kirby Quinby; when he was about fifteen years old he changed it to Cassius Clay Quinby, a name which had been his parents' original choice for him. He was engaged in many occupations directly previous and during his first few years struggling for a foothold in the theatrical world, simply to tide himself over many rough places in the road. He first went to New York in May, 1893, and at that time he did not have a relative or an acquaintance there and had two years of struggling by himself with many barn storming com- panies, doing nearly everything and working in nearly every branch of the theatrical business, playing many characters of many kinds, suffering hardships, walking from town to town, stranding now and then and having to get to any large city that happened to be nearest via freight trains, baggage cars or in any way pos- sible. In August, 1895, he secured a contract with Thomas W. Keene, the Shakesperian tragedian, and from that year he has been successful. He was with Mr. Keene all that season; the following summer, 1896, he was engaged with Mr. Louis James for the fol- lowing year; that summer he returned home to rejoice with his mother over his first success after three years of effort. He began an engagement with Mr. James that fall in Chicago and re- mained with him all that season, playing such characters as the King in Hamlet, Cassio in Othello, the title role in Julius Caesar, lybalt in Romeo and Juliet and Crassus in Mr. James's great pro- duction of Spartacus. At the close of his season Mr. Quinby was engaged for a short season with Margaret Mather in her produc- *°L^^^- ?® *° P^^y Guiderius. At the end of this engage- ment Mr. Quinby was engaged by William Owen's Shakesperian The Quinby Family 493 Players for the summer; then by Elihti R. Spenser and played the season of 1897 and 1898. The summer of the Spanish war Mr. Quinby submitted himself for enlistment with Congressman Suker in the regiment he was endeavoring to organize. Th'e fall of 1898 Mr. Quinby worked in the Brooklyn, Newark and New York stock companies, and played with that great actor James H. Stod- dard in The Long Strike. In the summer of 1898 Mr. Quinby met Miss Julia Marden and finally became engaged to marry her. He was then engaged by James A. Hearne in his production of The Reverend GriflB.th Davenport> He played with Mr. Hearne until the close of his season the following May. Mr. Quinby was then taken in. the summer of 1899 by John C. Fisher into Madame Modjeska's Company. In the following year after the close of her season, he played with Richard Mansfield in his great pro- duction of Henry the Fifth and repertbire, under the management of A. N. Palmer. Wh,en that finished, Mr. Quinby joined Maurice Campbell for his Henrietta Crosman productions of Mistress Nell and As You Like It. When her season ended Mr. Quinby again went with' Mr. Bellew for the Lieblers' All Star production of Romeo and Juliet. He also played in the special All Star per- formance of As You Like It for Vassar college that spring; during the summer Miss Marden became ill and died, 10 Sept. 1903. In the fall of that year Mr. Quinby was engaged by Frank L. Perley for Charles Dalton's company. At the close of that engagement, he joined Florence Gale's company to play Jaques in her production of As You Like It. At the close of her tour he joined J. O. Ashland in his company, playing The Ninety And Nine. Upon leaving them, he was engaged by Kirke La Shelle for his production of Paul Armstrong's great comedy The Heir to the Hoorah, Mr. Quinby remained with this company for three consecutive seasons. Then, in partnership with Charles L. Dooley, Mr. Quinby leased the play from Mrs. Kirke La Shelle, Mr. La- ShSelle having died during its run, and took it out under joint management. When this company closed in 1909, he became in- terested in improving some real estate which he had purchased in 1905. This proved successful and Mr. Quinby remained off the boards for three years. He then contracted with Klaw & Erlanger to play in tljeir production of Ben Hur in 1912 and 1913, and was re-engaged for th* following season. "The press notices of Mr. Quinby's work fill two huge volumes, and speak in the highest terms of his ability as a serious actor in many roles. His home address (1915) is 205 W. 102nd st.. New York city, and he is secretary of the Five Boroughs Land and Building Corporation. 1477.

Quimby the printer appears first in the Boston city directories as a printer at 40 Devon- shire street in 1867, boarding at 8 Haymarket place; in 1868, he boarded at 6 Crescent street. In 1869 his busi- ness address was 160 Washington street, and he boarded at 12 Hayward place. The following year he boarded at 23 Green street, and in 1871 at 7 Bussey place. He then moved his boarding place to 221 Washington street in 1872. In 1873 he is given in the city directory as Charlee Quimby, "painter", home, 8 Crescent place; in 1874, the mistake is corrected to read "printer", address as before. He was married 26 Apr. 1874, by Rev. J. W. Hamilton at Boston, Mass*., to Elnora Angenette, daughter of Absa- lom and Eleanor A. (Johnson) Millen, age 27, born at New Boston, N. H. He told me that after marriage he changed the spelling of his name to "Quimby," for convenience. The Quinby Family 495 Mr. Quimby lived (1908) at 17 Florence ave., Revere, Mass., in 1915 at Everett, Mass. He is the proprietor of the Lyman Rhodes Press, established in 1864, now at 16 La Grange st., Boston (1915). 1482. Albert True » {Nathan^, Levi ', Nathan ", Benj- amin^, Joseph*, Robert^ Robert^) born 2 Mar. 1844, at Portland, Me. He went soon to Searsport with his family and in 1888 came to Laconia, N. H., where he now (1915) lives. He married 8 Nov. 1867 (says he; 1866 says rec.) at Searsport, Mary Anna, daughter of Cyrus and Lucina (Gould) Norris, born 1847, at Searsport. He is proprietor of a flourishing hardware store at Laconia, of which the "Illustrated Laconian" says: "The Laconia Hardware establishment is a credit to Laconia and the proprietors deserve success for their enterprise, courteous treatment of patrons, and square dealing. Mr. Albert T. Quinby is the financial man of the business, having charge of the whole concern, but more especially paying attention to the settlement of accounts, collection of bills, and other financial matters. Albert T. Quinby, the senior member of the firm, at the age of 17 years, entered the employ of the hardware concern in Searsport, Me., and after six years took an interest in the concern. This business was continued with various changes until 1888, when Mr. Quinby, who was then the head of the concern, sold out his interest in the business and removed to Laconia. Mr. Quinby has always been prominent in society and in the Masonic Fraternities, being four times elected W. M. of his home lodge. Since coming to Laconia be has joined Pythagorean Council and Pilgrim Commandery, Knights Templar, in which he has taken great interest and held offices. "Mr. Levensaler retired from the business in 1888 and Mr. Albert T. Quinby came into the concern, and the Laconia Hard- ware company was born at that time. Quinby & Smart continued for about one year, and then Mr. Quinby assumed full control, employing his son, Edwin N. Quinby, as head salesman and Charles Dearborn as assistant, with his daughter, Miss Nellie P. Quin- by, as bookkeeper. The business increased rapidly, and in 1895 E. N. Quinby was admitted to the firm. It was found that the store in Belmont block was too small to handle the increased trade of the store, the business having thus early outgrown its quarters. Consequently, when the Masonic Temple was erected, the corner store and basement were leased, and the Laconia Hard- ware Co. removed to its present location in October, 1890. This concern can boast of the largest store and the largest stock of general hardware, paints, iron and steel, mill supplies, bicycles, fishing tackle, and sporting goods, to be found in northern New Hampshire."

He was a prosperous business man when he sud- denly disappeared in May, 1894; his act was at- tributed to some acute mental derangement; Mrs. Eleanora P. (Quinby) Hatch applied to the probate court at Laconia to change her name, and by de- cree of 17 Dec. 1895, it was changed to "Eleanor P. Quimby." 1483. Frederick Nathan * {Nathan^, Levi ', Nathan ', Benjamin^, Joseph*, Robert^, Robert'') born 8 Feb. 1850, at Searsport, Me. In 1860, as the U. S. census shows, he lived with the Bragdon family at Windham, Me. (his mother had married second, 1856, S. Bragdon) where he attended school. IJe spent his youth at Portland, Me., and was for a short time in the service of the United States at Portland. He married first, Minnie Davis, who was born and lived in that city, daughter of William Davis. She died of tuberculosis (says the record; denied by F. N. Q.) at 434 Bunker Hill street, Boston, 6 Oct. 1875, aged 21. Mr. Quinby had commenced as a locksmith in Boston the previous year, at 22 Saratoga st. In 1877 he was a teamster and a machinist and lived at 496 Main st., Charlestown, Mass. He was married second by Rev. J. J. Miller 6 Nov. 1876, at Somerville, Mass., to Mary E. Parsons, ("Meddie") aged 18, resident of Somerville, born at Groton, Mass., daughter of William E. and Eunice Parsons. This mar- riage was unfortunate, and they separated. "Here is where I made the mistake of my life by leaving her, dear woman; it was not her fault," says he. From 1880 to 1885, Mr. Quinby was in the Second U. S. Cavalry in Montana. In 1912 he lived at 427 Harrison st., Portland, Oregon, but had removed by July 1, 1913, and left no address. Children: 2166. I. Cyrus Albeet>« Quinby, born 6 Feb. 1871 (see be- low); II.

Note. — The information regarding the foregoing list of the children of William E. Quinby was kindly furnished by his daughter, Mrs. Beals. The Detroit record which Mrs. Beals corrects, mentions a child, Adeline, born 16 Dec. 1876; (cf. above). Biographical Sketch of William E, Quinby Mr, Quinby's early education was obtained at Lisbon, and in Detroit he attended the old Capitol High school and later the private college conducted by John M. Gregory, where he prepared himself for entrance to the University of Michigan. He was graduated in 1858 and immediately thereafter entered the law office of Walker & Russell in Detroit as a student. Just a year later after an examination before a full bench of the supreme ?ourt, he was admitted to the bar. Following his admission, he practiced law for two years and at the same time became court reporter of the Free Press, establishing a new feature at that time, the "Court column." He succeeded so well in newspaper work that he eventually gave up law and became a regular member of the Free Press staff. In 1861 he was engaged as acting city editor The Quinbt Family 501 of that newspaper. Shortly afterward Wilbur F. Storey sold his interest in the Free Press, and thereupon Mr. Quinby was made city editor. He occupied this position until 1863, when he was advanced to the managing editorship and at the same time pur- chased a small interest in the paper. By th^is first newspaper investment Mr. Quinby laid the foundation for his later acquired fame as one of the foremost news- paper publishers and editors in the United States. He purchased from time to time sulch blocks of stock as h]e could find for sale, and in 1872 had acquired a controlling interest and was made editor-in-chief. For many years Mr. Quinby shaped the policy of the paper and it became recognized as one of the best edited papers in the country and its circulation and prestige were wide- spread. At that time the Free Press occupied a building at Gris- wold and Wopdbridge streets. This structure later was destroyed by fire, and Mr. Quinby immediately caused its reconstruction. The plant was maintained in that location until 1884, wBren it was removed to a more commodious home at Shelby and Larned streets. In 1894 the building on Lafayette boulevard that is still occupied by the Free Press was purchased. In newspaper publishing Mr. Quinby was always apace and very often ahead of his time. He was the first to introduce the web perfecting printing press in Michigan. From 1872 until May 24, 1893, Mr. Quinby had active con- trol of the Free Press. At the latter date he was appointed by former President Cleveland as minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to the Netherlands. He occupied this post until August 21, 1897, when he returned and again took up the reins of newspaper management. During his visit in Holland the degree of LL. D. was conferred upon him by the University of Michigan. During his newspaper career Mr. Quinby always was alive to the value of a good writer. Among the famous contributors to the paper, all of whom received most of their training under Mr. Quinby, were Charles B. Lewis (M. Quad), Robert Barr, Charles Follen Adams and George P. Goodale, the eminent dramatic critic, who still remains a member of the Free Press staff. Mr. Goodale says: "I was 22 when I entered his service as a reporter of crimes and casualties. He had had experience of that branch of the work, and knew something of the pitfalls that abounded in it; and when any worker therein fell short of the fullest self- discipline, he knew how to condone the sh^ortconaing and to speak the wise and helpful words of counsel. He did it in my case, and his gentle tolerance made possible steady continuance in the em- ployment that has demanded all my energies and all my thoughts and served all my ambitions for two and forty years. He is gone and I am the last leaf on the tree; but his influence survives; his example is yet potent; and his memory shall not fade. "The Quinby mind was one of the finest I have known. The Quinby store of learning represented the real opulence of scholar- ship. The Quinby sense of personal obligation in public and in private was exalted; and the Quinby heritage must continue to 'shine like a good deed in a naughty world.' " The editorial page of the Free Press, 8 June, 1908, contained the following: 502 The Quinbt Family "The passing of William E. Quinby at this time, while not having the immediate significance tl^at such a calamity must have had before his retirement from participation in the activities of the journalistic career he pursued for nearly half a century, is nevertheless cause for grief in this community and state. Words that were written of him in thjs place announcing his retirement to private life are again appropriate, now that he has left forever the scene of his labors and his love. The people of Detroit were his friends and neighbors and fellow workers. He grew up with them; he labored, with them to advance the fair fame of the city and the commonwealth of his love, and he was a potential part of Detroit's civic, social, professional, commercial, educational, moral and political life so long that most men now active in these be- halfs have no memory of the time when he was not on the firing- line. "This is a record that seems to establish the affirmative of the debate as to whether life is worth living. To have earned and preserved the affectionate esteem of one's neighbors, and to have successfully withstood the fierce assaults that beat upon men in public life, emerging from the conflict with an untainted record and the honors that accompany clean living, patriotic service, and devotion to duty, is to have made the most of life in any given posture of circumstances. This Mr. Quinby did beyond question. It is a noble renown, and it will not soon perish. "The sweetness of his character, the entireness of his trust in his friends, and his unsophisticated faith in the ultimate good- ness of human nature made him especially beloved in the social life, of which he was a genial and always active promoter. He was free from guile. Double-dealing was tptally absent from his code. He aimed to be helpful to his fellow men. His home was a center of intellectual refinement and a model of hospitality in which was no taint of ostentation. He was a teacher, patriarch, friend and playfellow in one. No man of his time had keener relish of wit or greater rejoicing in humor; and few could apply those gifts to everyday intercourse with the pungency, the timeli- ness and the appositeness that marked Mr. Quinby's facile mastery of them. "His life was rounded, symmetrical, complete. His work was done, and for a brief time he hid with characteristic ardor ad- dressed himself to the pleasures that wait on elegant leisure and to thte cementing of old friendships. And whithersoever he went, in what company soever hie appeared, he was always his gentle, considerate, simple self." Mrs. Adeline Frazier Quinby In Memoriam. (Detroit Free Press, 15 Sept. 1905.) Mrs. Adeline Frazier Quinby, wife of William E. Quinby, editor of the Detroit free Press, died suddenly early yesterday morning at Bad Axe, Mich., where she had gone from her summer home at Port Austin to visit a friend. Heart failure, following an acute attack of angina peptoris was the cause of her death. The remains were brought to Detroit yesterday and the funeral will take place from the family residence, 777 Jefferson avenue, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Mrs. Quinby was in Detroit a short time agb, and 1492WiLLiAir E>iORY» Quixby at the age of 18 (from a daguerreo- t.N'pe) . Adeline (Frazieb) Quinby, also her Brother Leandek Fkazier, who died 11 Sept. 1913, at Cherokee, Ala. The Quinby Family 503 returned to Port Austin for the remainder of the season. On Saturday she drove to Huron City with her son Herbert, and Monday went to Bad Axe to make a short stay. While there she was taken violently ill, and Mr. Quinby was summoned by tele- graph. Just before leaving another message assured him that she was out of danger. Mrs. Quinby continued to improve, and it was intended to start for home the latter part of the week. The fatal attack oame without warning. For many years Mrs. Quinby hiad taken a prominent part in the social life of Detroit, and she enjoyed a wide circle of friends both at home and abroad. In President Cleveland's second ad- ministration Mr. Quinby was minister to The Hague, and with graciousness Mrs. Quinby {)resided over a home that welcomed many guests from all parts of the world. Mrs. Quinby was a niece of Mrs. A. C. McGraw, by whbm she bad been adopted when a young girl. Mrs. Quinby was a member of the Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian church. An Appreciation. The departure of Mrs. Quinby seems like the violent wrenching of a link out of a chain that has been so long forged as to seem, at first thought, unbreakable. She had lived long in this community, and she had borne an active and helpful part in the social, charitable and other activities of an ever-widening society. Everywhere she was a well knoWn figure. Her travels in Europe and her years of continuous residence there left indelible impress on a mind that habitually welcomed new and desirable acquisitions; and her conversation was singularly inter- esting and pleasantly instructive. She knew many distinguished men and women, and her knowledge of character and her estimate of actions could be generally depended on as trustworthy. One could hardly go amiss in adopting her conclusions, or intuitions, in that direction, especially as she was by nature disposed to see all the good in her acquaintance without losing sight of the fact that they were human, and therefore possibly sometimes out of true. But it was in the home that she found her best inspiration and gratified her dearest aspirations. As the mother of a numerous family of boys and girls — now men and women, some of them also wearing the honors and experiencing the joys of fatherhood and motherhood — she created a delightful atmosphere of domes- ticity and taught, by example, the exalted beauty of the domestic life. Her sympathies were not, however, 6onfined to her own roof- tree, inviting and cosy as it was. She was interested in what went on in the larger domain of life and progress, and she kept pace with it in the midst of duties that were pressing and many. Carlyle wrote of his good old father: "He was to the last the pleasantest man I had to speak with in Scotland." The senti- ment is peculiarly applicable to Mrs. Quinby. One could not meet her and be greeted by her nature without a strong sense of benefit, augmented self-respect and cheerful view of the imme- diate prospect. She was genuine. When she gave her hand there was the touch in it of obvious sincerity. If she voiced pity for any friend in grief, the note rang true. The surface formalities of human intercourse were not satisfying to her. When she sat by the sick pillow of a friend her ministrations meant something more than perfunctory service performed under the proddings of duty. 504 The Quinby Family She expended herself in thie earnest and conscientious effort to do good; and I personally am able to testify that for these attributes in particular will she be remembered "till Pity's self is dead."

Frederick Johnson' {Charles 0.*, Charles'', Simeon S Benjamin *, Joseph*, Robert*, Robert'') was born at his grandfather Hall's house at Biddeford, Me., about 1863, and was taken by his parents about four years later to East Boston, Mass., to live. I get no further information from him; the following is compiled from various sources. 506 The Quinby Family In 1871 he lived in Charlestown and in 1872-3 in Chelsea. In 1883 he was a clerk in the Metropolitan hotel, Boston, where he boarded. In 1884 his business address was at 27 Boylston street, boarding at 9 Duane street. A few years later he went into the roller-skating business and ran rinks at Marblehead and Lynn. Along about 1889, he became a book canvasser for P. F. Collier and was very successful. He married about this time his first wife at Newburgh, N. Y,, Emma Chapman, who it is said sub- sequently was legally freed from matrimonial bonds; no children. In the meanwhile he had made a connection with the well known publishing firm of Estes & Lauriat of Boston, as an agent for subscription books. He then went to Buffalo to sell books, and obtained a situation with J. H. Mattison of that city. About this time, by Flora E. (Gilmore) he had a son: 2176. I. Fbederick Johnson" Quinby, born 15 Sept. 1890, at Hyde Park, Mass. (living in New York city, 1913). Again being legally able to marry he wooed and won an attractive seventeen year old native of Allegheny, N. Y., Miss Mary Elizabeth Shaw, and they were married by Rev. Father Cronan at Buffalo 10 Nov. 1891. They went on a combined business and honeymoon trip through the south and west, and then leased a fine house in Wash- ington, D. C, where Mr. Quinby was in the publishing business under the trade name of F. J. Quinby & Co. We find this name as the owner of c'opyright 29418, (1893), on a book entitled, "Days that are no more," Vol. I., by Elizabeth S. Johnson!. About this time he was doing a little in picture brokerage, and had paintings by J. Wells Champney and others. This resulted in complications with the artists which however came to nothing; Mr. Quinby sublet his Washington house and removed to Baltimore where he opened a publishing office, and beciame an officer in the Fifth regiment of the Maryland National Guard, from whidi he is said to have resigned. As publisher in various places, F. J. Quinby & Co. or the F. J. Quinby Co. published perhaps the highest-priced series of books in the history of the business — an extra-illustrated set of Dickens* works, priced at $100,000 per set. It is said eight copies of this set were actually sold. This firm copyrighted from 1901 to 1909, one hundred and forty-two engravings; and from 1902 to 1908, forty-three novels, mostly by Paul de Kock. In 1897 Mr. Quinby was ba6k in New York, and Home op 1494Akthur Heneyo Quinby, at West Kirby, Cheshire, England (p. 504). The Quinbt Fauilt 507 on the 22nd of January of that year he entered the Ninth regiment of the National Guard as second lieutenant of company G, and was promoted captain of company C in October of the same year. In 1898 he was with his regiment at Chic'kamauga; he resigned his commission in 1899 and returned to Boston. Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Quinby obtained her deciree in New York 10 Nov. 1899; she is now a stenographer by profession, holding an official position as one of the steno- graphers to the New York State Assembly, at Albany, N. Y., and later at the Washington, D. C., office of the San Francisco World's Fair. Five days after the decree Mr. Quinby was married at Hartford, Conn., to Adelaide F. Olmstead, born at St. Louis. Rev. George K. Warren performed the ceremony 15 Nov. 1899; by this wife Mr. Quinby had: 2177. II. Charles" Quinby, born 11 Nov. 1900, at 405 Har- vard St., Brookline, Mass.; this boy is a member of the choir of the cathedral of St. John the Di- vine, at New York City and attends the choir school; he lives (1913) with the family of Mr. Lichtenstein, 31 W. 127th street. Mr. Quinby's wife Adelaide F. went with her little son to Louisville (or St. Louis) and died at a hotel there about 1905. The records of Jamaica, Queens county, N. Y., show that Mr. Quinby was married 11 April, 1906, at Grace Church rectory there, by Rev. Horatio Oliver Ladd, the rector, to Miss Helen S., daughter of William D. and Katherine L. (Williams) Gardner. She was born at Hiawatha, Kansas, about 1882. At the time of her marriage she gave her residence as the Hotel Cadillac, New York city while Mr. Quinby lived at the Hotel Vendome. Mrs. Quinby relinquished a promising theatrical career for the quieter joys of matrimony; on the stage her name was Vera Cameroi;. In 1909 Mr. Quinby was in the real estate business, with offices in the Mono- lith building, N. Y., and 3 June it was published that he had bought 3600 lots for about $200,000 at Massapequa, Long Island, where'he intended to install electric lights, water, gas, side-walks,f and sewers. The following year Mr. Quinby promoted the Tangier Manor Company and the Tangier Development Company TANGIER Tfet ir«m cmitR Dcvttotant TANOIBR WMYT IMDW»CW_i_ ami It Pi 508 The Quinby Family and later became their president. This former company is said to have acquired a magnificent tract of Long Island property with thirty miles of water front, constituting the famous manor of Tangier Smith, sixty miles from New York. The company became very prominent in 1911-12 by elaborate advertising in New York, and had magnificent offices on Madison avenue at 34th street. Mr. Quinby's name appeared in the papers as having been injured slightly by a fall in his Wright biplane, 11 Sept., 1910, while flying from the Wyandotte Inn to the Tangier property. In 1915 his name does not appear in the New York city directory and he is said to be living at Norfolk, Va. 1502.

Labounty, age 23, born in Canada, Mr. Quimby died 20 Mar. 1909, at the Cottage hospital, at Lawrence, Mass., and was buried at Bellevue cemetery there. Mrs. Rose Quimby's administration papers on file at Salem, Mass., show that Cora, wife of "James F." Quimby, the only child, was appointed administratrix of her mother-in- law's estate 8 Jan. 1906, on consent of the husband and son. Her address was then 18 Fairmont st., Lawrence. The estate was a mortgage on real estate, Hampshire st., Lawrence, valued at $1000. The Lawrence paper contained an obituary of Mr. Quimby, a part of which said that "he came from a well-respected and influential family; was educated, cultured and had access to the best of society in his younger days; personally he was kind and charitable, unassuming and considerate. His gentle manner, helpful acts and benevolences won and retained for him many friends among Lawrence folk. Mr. Quimby first settled in Lowell and it was in that city that he was married. He later moved to this city with his wife and son. Mr. Quimby worked for the city up to 14 years ago. At that time he took a shock and had never been well afterwards. For the past 14 years he was nearly helpless, and was taken care of in his last years by his daughter-in-law." Mrs. Quimby died of abdominal cancer, at her home 18 Fairmont st., Lawrence, Mass., 30 Dec. 1905, aged 67 y. 6 m., and was buried in Bellevue cemetery. Child: 2181.

MuNROE Thomas' (Joseph Hoyt^, Thomas'', Jonathan^, Benjamin^, Benjamin*, Robert^, Robert*) born 20 July, 1829, at Thetford, Vermont, and was there re- corded as Thomas Munroe Quimby. Munroe T. Quimby was a clerk in Boston when be first ap- pears m the directory there in 1854, and then boarded at 12 Lon- don street, East Boston. In 1857 he formed a partnership with Wareham M. Quimby (see) and John Flanagan under the name of Quimby, Flanagan & Co., at 20 Milk street in the fancy goods The Quinby Family 511 business. Mr. Quimby then lived at the New England House. The firm soon dissolved. In 1859 he was a salesman at 14 Han- over street, where he continued and in 1862 was head of the firm of Quimby & Co., at that address, jewelry manufacturers. In the meanwhile h'e was having a hard time finding a satis- factory boarding place; in 1860 he boarded at 3 Elm place; in 1861 at 24 Greenville place; in 1862 at 77 Myrtle street; in 1863, at 5 Cambridge street; in 1864-5 at 5 Green street; 1866-7 at 17 Staniford street; he then moved to Melrose, whiere he continued to live through 1891. In 1879 an advertisement in the directory shows that the factory was at Providence, R. I. In 1867 hte took a second cousin, Luman V.* Quimby (see) into his employ and in 1880 as a partner, who was still with him till 1891 as Munroe T. Quimby & Co., jewelry manufacturers, 14 Hanover street. Henry B.>» Quimby (Charles N.\ Joseph*,) was a bookkeeper with the firm in 1883, and perhaps afterwards. Wareham M.

Quimby and another under the name of Quim- by, Smith & Co.; he dealt in watches and jewelry, but both his and Wareham M.'s home were given as Massachusetts in the New York directory during the whole time he carried on business there, which ceased in 1873. The directory gives his store as 471 Broad- way in 1871; and at 196 Broadway in 1872-3. The census of 1860 gives him as "Munroe Quimby, aged 33, born in Maine, clerk. Ward 3, Boston, Mass." He was married 9 Jan. 1862, by B. W. D. Sidney Frost at West Fairlee, Vt., to Ann Julia, daughter of William L.» Kimball, of Fairlee, Vermont (Kimball Family History, p. 1091).

'By gosh, so can I,' said the other, 'I guess we were too gay last night.' But investigation showed that the two members were all right.

Mrs. Quimby had been very prominent in the work of the Sixth st. Congregational church and in the Sunshine Society, in which she and her daughters had been interested for years. In the New York Herald of 4 Aug. 1901, a very good photograph of the older three girls was published, with an article descriptive of their activities in that organization, the object of which is to let in the sunshine upon the lives of unfortunate children. The Herald said: "The three little Misses Quimby of Auburn, Me., believe in sunshine picnics, and with the assistance of their mother and grandmother are leaders of the Maine juniors, who are constantly interested in fresh air work of some kind." In 1911 Mrs. Quimby was called back home by the illness of her mother; Isabel came with her and they spent the winter at Auburn. Fred W. and his family now (1915) live at 122 Seventh st.. Auburn, Me.

In summer he lives with his son at Waverley, Iowa, and in winter with me at the Taylor farm near Osceola, Missouri." "About two years ago," says the Waverley paper, "his health began to fail, but he was able to get about until early in November, when he suffered a severe attack of asthma, and this coupled with disability contracted while in the army, was more than his constitution could stand and he gradually failed until his death at Waverley, 16 Mar. 1914, at the home of his son, John B. "The deceased was a man well known to most of our citizens, and he was a good man; he was a man of high moral character and was beloved by his children, whom he always treated with kindness and from whom in turn, he won abiding respect."

"To the public schools near his home he is indebted for the early education which he received. Later his preliminary educa- tion was supplemented by knowledge acquired in the pur- suit of a course of study in the Centenary Collegiate In- stitute, at Hackettstown, New Jersey. When his school days were over and his text-books were laid aside, he re- sumed the labors of the farm, with which he had become familiar in his youth, and followed agricultural pursuits on the old Quinby farmstead until 1891, when he came to his present home near Malapardis. Here he carries on general farming and also conducts a dairy, finding in both branches of his business a profitable source of income. The place is supplied with all modern accessories and conveniences for the successful conduct of his labors, and the latest im- proved machinery, well kept fences and substantial buildings all indicate the progressive and enterprising spirit of the owner. The Quinby household is noted for its hospitality, and the members of the familj"^ ocfcupy an enviable position in social circles. They attend the Presbyterian church of Parsippany.

"My son made a trip through the Florida swamps with Prof. Shaler, and saving the professor's life under very dangerous circumstances (being the only swim- mer in the party when their boat upset, three miles from shore) with the hardships and exposure which they sub- sequently underwent, may have created conditions which conduced to his death some years later," says Dr. Quinby.

He graduated at Amherst college in the class of 1869, and at the Theological school of Harvard University in 1871. He held a few small pastorates, then went to East Bridgewater, Mass. in 1871 and remained pastor of the First Parish Unitarian church there until he was forced to resign in 1901 because of failing health. He lived for 39 years in the home of Miss Lucy Horton on Union st., and after a period of gradually failing health, culminating in a fortnight's illness in bed, he died there at the age of 77 years, 23 June, 1911. He never married. In an article contributed to the Popular Science Monthly (1891) he gives these personal reminiscences. "I remembered some curious facts of my own experience in the army in 1862 and 1^63. I was not strong, and indeed was hardly fit to be in the army at all. And when I found myself exposed all day long to a steady rain, and at night to the outdoor air, with no fire, no change of clothing, no shelter but a canvas covering, open at both ends through which the rain dripped constantly, it seemed certain that the 'death o' cold' so often predicted must surely follow. Why it did not follow was more of a mystery then, however, than it is now, for I was in a place where the art of man no longer ex- cluded one of the prime principles of health. I breathed pure air, because I could not help it. During a service of fifteen months, with severe exposures, but fresh air constantly, the same immunity from colds prevailed. I remembered, too, that when I came home from the army the blessing and the curse — at least one of the curses — of civil life came back together. I had com- fortable rooms to eat, breathe and sleep in on one hand, but very soon colds, sore throats and related troubles on the other. This was the second count in the argument for pure air. Finally, after nearly twenty years of suffering according to the common lot of men, I resolved to try the pure air cure, and from that time to this the windows of my room have been open almost constantly day and night. The result was immediate and striking, and for the last seven years I have not had one serious cold. My sore throats are wholly a thing of the past, and certain other physical derangements not usually associated with colds have also dis- appeared." In the '90's Rev. John W. Quinby is mentioned among the long list of benefactors of Harvard as donor of $1250. It is interesting to note that in 1901 he performed the marriage ceremony for Ira Albert'" Quimby, (a descendant of Robert^) and Dora F. Greene. 544 The Quinbt PAMiiiT 2004.

John F.» (Edward Hunter^, John'', William*, Josiah^, Moses*, Josiah", John^, William') born 23 Sept. 1856, in Westchester county or New York city; married 26 Oct. 1870, Georgie S. Thorn. They lived at White Plains, when in October, 1902, they achieved national notoriety and filled columns and columns of the newspapers through- out the country, as a result of the following circumstances. Coroner Banning of White Plains was called upon to conduct an inquest 22 Oct. 1902, to ascertain the cause of the death of the Quinbys' seven year old daughter Esther on the Monday previous. The child had diphtheria, 19 Oct. 1902, and her parents called in John C. Lathrop and other Christian Science healers, who failed to effect a cure. No regular physician was called, as both parents state that they were and have continued to be firm believers in the Christian Science treatment. The cause of the death was not known until the physicians performed an autopsy and reported that the child died of "diphtheria, and Christian Science neglect." The coroner determined if possible to hold one or both parents responsible for the death. The parents said the science treatment had saved the life of their little daughter Bessie shortly before from the same disease. Interviewed, Mr. Quinby said Mr. Lath- rop by mental prayers had cured Mrs. Quinby of a fifteen years' case of valvular heart disease after he had spent hundreds of dol- lars for regular physicians. The facts that diphtheria had raged unquarantined in the Quinby home, and the child for several days 2020JOSIAII Howlando Quinby 2022JOHN F.!> QUINBT The Qcinbt Family 547 after her sister was taken ill was allowed to attend school and play with other children, caused the residents of White Plains to be quite outspoken in their views. When the inquest began 22 Oct. 1902, it was "disclosed that Mrs. John Quinby was ill with diphtheria and that Bessie aged 16 and one of the older boys had unmistakable symptoms," says the New York Times. Mr. Quinby testified he had been married 24 years, had had "ten" children of whom now only three were living. Mrs. Quinby was examined at home and stoutly defended her be- lief in the treatment. She said she had three children living and four dead. Bessie also testified that she was a believer. The result of the inquest, the testimony in which was printed at great length in the papers, was that the healer and the parents of little Esther were held for the Grand Jury on a charge of manslaughter in the second degree for neglecting to provide medical attend- ance. Bail in $2000 each was furnished by the accused. The grand jury of Westchester county found a true bill of indict- ment against all thtee of the accused, but nothing more serious resulted, for the indictment was dismissed by the Appellate Divi- sion of the Supreme Court 8 June, 1906, on the ground that the indictment was too indefinite and failed to state any particular act of culpable negligence (People v. Quimby, 113 App. Div. 793). John F. » and Georgianna S. (Thorn) Quinby live (1909) at Bennington, Vt. Children (several others died young) : 2608. I.

A long tulle veil edged with lace was caught back from her face with orange blossoms and she carried a shower of white roses: her single orna- ment, the groom's gift, was a crescent brooch of diamonds. The bride gave her bridesmaids imported fans, and her maid of honor a chain of gold beads. The groom's gift to the best man was a gold and opal stickpin, and gold cuff links to the ushers.

"Mrs. Quinby passed the greater part of her life in Saco, and was educated in the Saco schools, graduating from the old High school in the class of 1886. For the greater part of her life she had been very active in a£Fairs and her long and painful illness and death constitute a loss to the community and many of its best activities," said the Biddeford (Me.)

Henry B.*" (Charles Norman^, Joseph Hoyt^ Thomas'', Jonathan^, Benjamin^, Benjamin*, Robert^, Rob- ert^) born 1 Nov. 1860, at Somerville, Mass. Henry B. and his brother George E. appear in the Boston directory for the first time in 1883. Henry was a bookkeeper at 14 Hanover st. in the jewelry manufacturing business of Wareham M. Quimby, his grandfather's first cousin, and boarded at the factory. This job evidently scarcely lasted out the year, for his name is gone until 1887, when he was a salesman living at Worcester. In 1888 he lived at Maiden with his family where he continued and in 1889 began business at 244 Washington st., Boston, as H. B. Quimby & Co., bankers and investment securities. This was evidently very short lived, for the following year he was a bookkeeper, though at the same address, and so continued through 1891. In the next year he was in business at 13 School st., with Leone F. Quimby who began there in 1890, whose relationship to him was not as near as second cousin. In 1892 Henry B. conducted that business, and also was in the real estate business with his brother George E. as Quimby & Co., at 113 Devonshire st. In 1893 he removed to Worcester but continued the Boston business; that was the situation also in 1894. Later directories have not been examined. He married 24 Nov. 1886, at West Fairlee, Vt., Mary E,, daughter of Ferdinand and Mary J. Proctor. Mary E. Proctor was a teacher at Worcester, Mass. She was born in 1858 and died 24 Dec. 1900. In 1904 he was a salesman with the Thayer-Moore Brokerage Co. at Kansas City, Mo., living at Kansas City, Kan. He married second, in 1905, Grace M. George, born at Holden, Mo., 1 May, 1882; no children. In 1911 the directory gives him as salesman, ad- dress, 6303 Independence ave., Kansas City, Mo. C. D. Quimby, clerk, was also at that address. In 1912 he gives his address as 105 W. 8th st. there. In Sept. 1912, his firm, Chas. I. Zirkle & Co., had bought land at Garden City, Kan., and he had gone there to live. Children: 1.

Quimby, 162 Mass. 571; appeal from Middlesex county, argued 13 Nov. 1894, decided 3 Jan. 1895; opinion by Hon. Charles Allen. This was an action on a written agreement dated 22 March, 1892, reciting that "there is now due to Joseph R. Beharrell from Edward R. Orcutt a sum of money under and by virtue of a certain written contract," by the terms of which the plaintiff undertook, "for a consideration therein specified to be paid by said Orcutt at the times and in the manner therein mentioned," to erect a dwelling house on Orcutt's land; that the defendant had taken from Orcutt a deed of such land, and that the plaintiff had, at the defendant's request, refrained from attaching the property "for the sum due him under said contract," and convenanting, in consideration of the prem- ises, that the defendant would pay to the plaintiff "all sums of money now due and to become due to him under said contract according to the tenor thereof;" and signed by the defendant. The case was referred to the auditor. At the trial in th'e Superior Court, without a jury. Judge Bishbp found for the defendant Quimby, and, at the request of both parties, he reported the case for the determination of this court. F. W. Qua appeared for the plaintiff and H. L. Boutwell appeared for the defendant. The court held in an opinion by Judge Allen th^t the finding was warranted by the evidence and the judgment was affirmed for the defendant Quimby. 2183. George Edward'" {Charles Norman^, Joseph Hoyt», Thomas'', Jonathan^, Benjamin^, Benjamin*, Robert*, Robert') born 1 Aug. 1862, at Somerville, Mass. George E. Quimby appears in the Boston directory first in 1883, with his business address at 518 Washington st. He boarded at 36 Hancock st., and the addresses remained the same in 1884. He then went to Kansas City, Mo. His name next appears in the Boston directory in 1890 as at 244 Washington st. His brother Henry B. Quimby had opened an office there the previous year as H. B. Quimby The QuiNBY Family 559 & Co., bankers and investment securities. Both brothers then lived at Maiden. In 1892, George E. began to do business at 113 Devonshire st., as Quimby & Co., and so continued through 1894 and perhaps later. He lived at Newton, Mass., in 1903, while in the real estate business in Boston and in 1909 he was in the same business there. George E. Quimby married 3 Jan. 1886, at Kansas City, Mo., Edith R., daughter of John Braden; she was born 20 Oct. 1862, at Kansas City, Mo., or Greensburg, Ind.

In 1912 he lived at 372 Quincy st., Dorchester, Mass.; grad- uated in June, 1912, at Boston University and was a mem- ber of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Soon after, he became the secretary of the Immigrant Department of the Young Men's Christian Association at Fall River, Mass., 199 North Main St., which office he now (1915) holds; his work among the foreigners in Fall River is highly commended and is of great value. 560 The Quinbt Pamilt Mr. Quimby was married 29 June, 1915, at Naperville, 111., to Frances Nelda, daughter of Dr. Anton Huelster, formerly of Clinton, Mass. The ceremony took place at the bride's home and was performed by her father; she was attended by her uncle, Rev. William Huelster. "The bride's gown was of bridal satin trimmed with Chantilly lace," says the long newspaper account, which describes the gowns of the four bridesmaids and the maid of honor, the floral decorations, the music and the supper, and adds: "Mrs. Quimbj' attended Western college of Oxford, Ohio, and graduated from the Library school of Simmons college, Boston, in 1913. Since then she has been assistant librarian at Clark University library at Worcester, Mass. She has made herself beloved wherever she was and though she has lived in Naperville but a short time, has made many warm friends." Mr. and Mrs. Quimby will live at Fall Riv6r on their return from a five weeks' trip to the two California Expositions. (Clinton Item, 7 July, 1915).

The paper said: "This is the fourth of the six contests directed by the Mail in which Mr. Quinby has taken part, and the first in which he has been success- ful. Beginning in mere fun, in which he encouraged his wife and younger children to join, he later developed a deep interest in the results he was obtaining. (See p. 33). "He is a tall, distinguished looking American, 43 years old, and employed as an assistant manager in the office of Auchincloss Bros., commission merchants, at 22 William St.," says the Mail; "being a family man and a commuter, he spent his evenings at home, figuring out titles to pic- tures, partly for recreation and partly because he doesn't care for the movies, and mostly to prove to his own satis- faction that he has more ability in the title figuring direc- tion than the big majority of those 60,000 persons who matched their wits against his."

APPENDICES Appendix No. 1. New facts about Henry Quynby, the earli- est identified ancestor of the family at Farnbam, England, men- tioned in the Introduction on page 7 as born near Farnbam "as early as 1470," have come to light through researches now being conducted in England. Since the foregoing part of this work was printed, we have found in the Public Record office in London, Early Chancery Proceedings (560-3) A. D. 1618-29, a petition of John Quynby "son and heir of Henry Quynby of Farnbam in the county of Surrey, gentleman," which sets forth that Henry in his lifetime was the owner of the following real estate: one house and 300 yards of land, a grove called Sheppe house grove, a wood called Catson wood and a peat-yard containing an acre and a half, in the parish of Froyle, Hampshire county; also a house and 30 yards of land called "Camboys and Fillys" with two groves called "Daylys and Fillys," also in Froyle; also a house and 26 acres of land, and seven acres of ground in Benstead in Hampshire; also a house in Farnbam, and half of the manor of Free Mantle; also "one mese, a watyr mille," and 43 acres of arable land, 20 acres of meadow, 20 acres of pasture, 20 acres of wood, 12 acres of heath and 18 shillings of rent with the appurtenances in Windlesham and Bagshot; also of a property consisting of 5 acres of arable land, two acres of meadow and 10 acres of pasture with the ap- purtenances in Ash; all these properties said Henry died possessed of "yn hys demean as of fee." John further says in his petition that the ownership of these properties came to him on his father's death as heir; but his father's wife Agnes and John Bruen whom she married after Henry's death took possession of all the deeds and evidence of ownership of these properties, and John as the rightful owner asked the Chancery Court ("the most reverend father in God, Thomas, Lord Cardinal Legate of the See Apostolic, Archbishop of York and Chancellor of England") to require John Bruen and Agnes his wife to appear and answer. Their answer is also on file, and in effect offered to deliver over the properties if John Quynby the complainant would yield her dower in them. John replies, asking that they be compelled to deliver the deeds, etc., to him. These papers were filed in the ten year period between 1518 and 1529 and John Quinby was over twenty-one; this seems to confirm the suggestion on page 45 that the ^ Quinby there mentioned was the Henry Quinby mentioned on page 44, who married Florence Balch; she was very probably the mother of John*, Henry having married Agnes as his second wife. Appendix No. 2. After the account of John' ( ') of Farnbam was printed on pages 46 and 47 of this book, an in- teresting deed was found in the Public Record Office, London, 566 The Quinby Family filed under Ancient Deeds*, C. 7994, about 1578, showing that John Quinby and Jane his wife of Farnham had a lease of con- siderable property at Frensham, county Surrey, from the Arch- deacon of Winchester, which property apparently included the chapel and parsonage of Frensham. This is the document men- tioned in the note on p. 59, where the county is wrongly given. An abstract, so far as decipherable, is as foUoWs: This Indenture made 9 Jan. 20th yere of our Soveraigne Ladie Elizabeth Between Robert White of Aldershot co.

D. 1655; William Quinbee of Rolvenden county Sussex and Mary (Tolhurst) his wife of Silsley, county Sussex against Mary Martin and Robert Bonicke for concealing from the complainants "a certaine deske or box" belonging to John Franckwell, deceased, which he had given to Mrs. Quinbee who had been affianced to him before her marriage to William Quinbee. She said the box contained "Jewells, rings, moneys, bills, bonds and writeings to the value of £100 and upwards." No answer was filed and we may suppose that Mary Quinbee got the things she asked for (filed Bridges 404-281). A. D. 1692, Nov. 28. Robert Quenby of Chiltington, county Sussex, hu^andman, complained of Maurice Greenfield, yeoman, who, about Michaelmas, 1687, demised to Robert and John Quinby his brother a farm and 60 acres of land in Chiltington for 21 years at the yearly rent of £17 : 10s. They moved in and lived there four years; a fter they had been there one year they agreed with *No other Quinby documents are found in vols. I.-VI. of Ancient Deeds. The Quinby Family 567 Greenfield that they should each have only half the premises, and thereafter Robert paid half the rent; but John Quinby about 1691 became sick and died. Now Jane Quinby, widow of John, to- gether with Greenfield combine to charge Robert with the whole yearly rent of £13 :6s. Greenfield answered, denying any agreement to accept Robert as tenant of only half; and said that John Quinby died about 2 Jan. 1691 and Jane his wife kept possession till Michaelmas, 1692. That a year before that, Robert Quinby had departed without paying his rent. Sworn to 8 May, 5 Wm. and Mary (1693). ^Ham. 391-9). A. D. 1698, June 10. Henry Quenby of Stuftloe in the parish of Bugden ( i. e., Buckden) in county Huntingdon, yeoman, com- plains against Guy Nicholson and others, saying that while owner of 70 acres of arable land, six acres and three roods of meadow and one acre of leys in Bugden, lately purchased of Richard Wyne, gent., he desired to borrow £200 on the property and applied to John Rugg, who said he had that much belonging to Thomas Brooks and loaned it to Quenby on the security of the land, the money to be paid 20 May, 1690 to said Brooks. Quenby paid in- terest however to June 1692 when "Rugg said Brooks had occasion for the principall moneys and did pretend that he would pay the same to the said Brooks," and Rugg thereupon was secured by the property; this happened again, but Rugg didn't give up the bond, which he "pretended was in his chamber in the Inner Temple, London." Brooks then claimed that Quenby still owed the £200 and Rugg refused to give up the bonds (Collins, 550-397). The answers of three of the respondents are also on file, 16 June, 1698 and 22 and 25 July, 1698 (288-48; Bridges, 137-28.) One Hall said he had loaned Quenby £200 on the security of the lands mentioned, and on August or September last, he promised to pay it; and denies any confederacy with Rugg or the other respondents. Skelton said he had loaned £200 to Rugg for Quenby. From all this we may deduce that a rascally solicitor was at the bottom of Quenby's troubles and that ultimately he had to pay the £200 at least twice; but he could afford to, for all the property he had pledged included not only the 70 acres of arable land, six acres and thtee roods of meadow and one acre of leys (i. e., lea or field) lying in Bugden, but he added to it for the later loans, his "messuage, etc., maulting and dove house, close of pasture ground, etc., a cottage and one hundred and ten acres of arable land, and leys in Bugden." A. D. 1716, May 14. John Quenby of Ringstead, county Northampton, and Mary his wife, daughter of Samuel Pratt, late of Raunds, same county, deceased, complain that whereas Samuel Pratt made his will about 27 Mar. 1705, giving Mary £100 at her age of 18 and his freehold cottage at Aldwinckle after the decease of Henry Fish his father-in-law, with reversion in case of her death, to Agnes Pratt his wife, whom he made sole executrix; that Mary is over 20 and has asked Agnes and her new husband Simon Smart of Stanwick, county Northampton, to pay the legacy and interest from the death of Henry Fish who died seven years previous; but they refuse. As Agnes and her new husband seem not to have filed any answer it is to be supposed they gaye Mary Quenby her £100 and 568 The Quinby Family the cottage, with interest as prayed for. (Chan. Pro. 1714-58 Bdle. 1128, A. D. 1716). Apfendix No. 4. Quenby Family of Bythorn, Huntingdon- shire, England.
