Genealogical History of the Quinby (Quimby) Family in England and America By Henry Cole Quinby

Josiah* (John*, William1) 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 Mullineaux or Molineaux God rest her, came from the North of Ireland. They were French Huguenots and Requiescant in pace."

The children of Josiah3 and Mary (Molyneux) Quinby, often referred to as twelve in number, (evidently omitting VI.) were as follows:

I. Dorcas* Quinby, born 9, 9 mo. 1690; she married 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;

25. II. Josiah* Quinby, born 31, 3 mo. 1692 (see);

26. III. Jonathan* Quinby, born 18, 2 mo. 1695 (see);

This 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, 1695;"

27. IV. James* Quinby, born 18, 2 mo. 1695 (see); Bolton

says "13 Feb. 1695, a twin with Jonathan;" a record made by Aaron1 (Isaiah4, 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. Aaron* Quinby, born 30th 10 mo. 1702 (see);

31. IX. Moses* Quinby, born 12th 11 mo. 1704 (see);

X. Martha* Quinby, born 14th 2 mo. 1706 (1695 says

Bolton); married John Hallock of Northcastle,

N. 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 llth 4 mo. 1716 (see).

He was bom at or near Westchester Village, Westchester County, NY and died probably at Wampus Pond. He was a member of the Society of Friends, and bought grants or patents of Newcastle and Northcastle, acquiring altogether 6,000 acres. He also owned a plantation in one of the Southern Colonies, and made frequent voyages to England.

(in. 6.17.1689)

Josiah* (John*, William1) 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 Mullineaux 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, Conn., 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 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. 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. rc.) 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:
