(II) Peter or Pierre Quintard, young-
est child of Isaac and Jeanne (Fume) Quintard, was born January 14, 1700, in New York City, was baptized there at the French Church, and was admitted a freeman. He was a goldsmith by occupa- tion. About 1738 he removed to Nor- walk, Connecticut, where he made sev- eral purchases of lands and established his residence in the meadows north of what is now Marshall street, Norwalk. Peter Quintard married Jeanne Baller- eau, born July 3, 1708, in New York City, daughter of Jacques and Jeanne (O'Dart) Ballereau, and she died September 2, 1757.
(III) Peter Quintard, second son of Peter or Pierre and Jeanne (Ballereau) Quintard, was born in New York City, July 22, 1732, and lived in Norwalk, Con- necticut. He was a soldier in the Rev- olutionary War, and served as a sergeant in Captain Seth Seymour's company, Col- onel John Mead's regiment, of Connecti- cut Militia, enlisting December 24, 1776, and served two months. In 1781 he was a member of a Matross Company in Nor- walk. The name of his first wife through whom this line descends has not yet been found. He married for his second wife, May 23, 1774, Ruth Stevens.
(IV) Isaac (2) Quintard, son of Peter Quintard, was born in 1767, and died February 5, 1856, in Norwalk, Connecti- cut. He was engaged in the manufacture of pottery, and also ran a market sloop to New York. On November 13, 1793, he married Elizabeth Pickett, born January 14, 1769, daughter of Ezra and Elizabeth (Benedict) Pickett, of Norwalk. Ezra Pickett was born July 12, 1740, and mar- ried, March 30, 1761, Elizabeth Benedict. He was a son of James Pickett, 2d, and his wife, Deborah (Stuart) Pickett, and grandson of James Pickett, Ist, who set- tled in Norwalk, and married Rebecca Keeler. The last named James Pickett

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
was a son of John Pickett, the immigrant, of Salem, Massachusetts, who removed in 1660 to Stratford, Connecticut, and was a member of the General Assembly there in 1673.
(V) Evert Quintard, son of Isaac (2) and Elizabeth (Pickett) Quintard, was born in Norwalk, Connecticut, January 24, 1798, and died May 2, 1891. He was a furniture manufacturer and dealer in Nor- walk for sixty years. He married, No- vember 29, 1819, Elizabeth Whitney, daughter of Timothy and Abigail (Smith- Wood) Whitney, of Norwalk (see Whit- ney VI).
(VI) Francis Edmond Quintard, son of Evert and Elizabeth (Whitney) Quin- tard, was born March 29, 1823, and died October 25, 1907. He was educated in the public schools of Norwalk. He learned the trade of cabinet making with his father and was associated with him in business, finally succeeding to the own- ership. Mr. Quintard continued to con- duct the business until about 1884, when he sold his interests and retired from ac- tive duties. In his younger days Mr. Quintard was active in military duties, and a sword carried by him is now in possession of his son. Mr. Quintard mar- ried (first) January 1, 1846, Harriet M. Allen, daughter of Increase and Sally (Patchen) Allen, and she died February 25, 1853. He married (second) Novem- ber 24, 1853, Matilda Lounsbury, a sister of the governors of Connecticut, Hon. George E. and Hon. Phineas C. Louns- bury, sketches of whom appear elsewhere in this work and the Lounsbury geneal- ogy therewith. Mr. Quintard married (third) May 5, 1869, Cornelia C. Clark.
(VII) Frederick H. Quintard. son of Francis Edmond and Matilda (Louns- bury) Quintard, was born January 24, 1857, in Norwalk, Connecticut. He was educated in the public schools of that
town. Subsequently he was associated in business with his father for about a year, and for the following eight or nine years was connected with his uncles, the Hon. Phineas C. and George E. Lounsbury in Norwalk. Ill health compelled the sever- ing of this connection and Mr. Quintard spent a year in the West. Upon his re- turn East, he went to Bridgeport, Con- necticut, where he was associated with his uncle, the Hon. George E. Lounsbury, and where he remained for the following ten years. For the ensuing five years Mr. Quintard did not take any active in- terest in business matters; as a matter of fact it was not until 1893, at which time the late C. S. Trowbridge prevailed upon him to enter business in partnership with him, that Mr. Quintard did so. In January, 1907, this business was incor- porated as The C. S. Trowbridge Com- pany, with Mr. Trowbridge as president and Mr. Quintard as secretary and treas- urer. They continued successfully for many years, and upon the death of Mr. Trowbridge, Mr. Quintard succeeded him in the office of president, which office he still holds, as well as retaining the treas- urership. The produce of the business is paper and wooden boxes, and in the manufacture of these employment is given to from seventy-five to one hundred per- sons.
In addition to the many business in- terests which Mr. Quintard has had to occupy his time, he has also taken an ac- tive interest in public matters. He is a Republican in politics, and in 1907-08 was in the Legislature, serving a second term in 1909-10. He served on the committees of cities and boroughs and federal rela- tions. In 1910 he was chairman of the latter committee. He is a member of the board of directors of the Norwalk Hos- pital. Before Norwalk and South Nor- walk were united under one city govern-

ment, Mr. Quintard served as a member of the Common Council in South Nor- walk, and also at different times served as assessor and tax collector.
Fraternally, Mr. Quintard is a member of St. John's Lodge, No. 6, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Washington Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Clinton Commandery, Knights Templar; Pyra- mid Temple, Mystic Shrine, the latter of Bridgeport. He is also a member of the Norwalk Club, which he served for two years as president ; of the Norwalk Coun- try Club, which he also served as presi- dent; of the South Norwalk Club; and the Roxbury Club. Mr. Quintard has been president of the latter club for eight- een years. His chief recreations are hunting and fishing. Mr. Quintard's ances- try in several lines entitles him to mem- bership in the Sons of the American Rev- olution, which he holds.
Mr. Quintard married Mary E. Bene- dict, daughter of Goold Benedict, of Nor- walk, and they are members of the Con- gregational church.
(The Whitney Line).
(I) Henry Whitney, the immigrant an- cestor, was born in England about 1620. No record has been found of his arrival in this country, but the Southold, Long Island, records show that on October 8, 1649, he with others purchased land. He was an inhabitant of the town of Hun- tington, Long Island, August 17, 1658. He built a grist mill there for Rev. Wil- liam Leverich. Henry Whitney removed to Jamaica, Long Island, where he bought land of Richard Harker. He served on many important committees there. In July, 1665, he was granted land by the town of Norwalk, Connecticut, for build- ing a corn mill. His will is dated June 5, 1672, and he probably died in Norwalk in 1673, having been admitted a freeman there four years previously.
(II) John Whitney, son of Henry
Whitney, was born previous to the time his father went to Southold, Long Island, and died in 1720. He received a grant of land in Norwalk in 1665 and settled there, succeeding his father in the ownership of the mill and homestead. He built a full- ing mill later, which was willed to Joseph Whitney, his second son. John Whitney married, March 17, 1674, Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Richard Smith.
(III) Joseph Whitney, son of John and Elizabeth (Smith) Whitney, was born March I, 1678-79, and died in 1720. He was a millwright. He married, in Norwalk, July 6, 1704, Hannah Hoyt, daughter of Zerubbabel Hoyt.
(IV) David Whitney, son of Joseph and Hannah (Hoyt) Whitney, was born in Norwalk, Connecticut, June 24, 1721. He was a master mariner and miller. It is said that when Norwalk was burned in 1779, he ran out into the harbor with his sloop loaded with the families and goods of his neighbors and escaped from the British. David Whitney married, May II, 1741, in Norwalk, Elizabeth Hyatt, daughter of Ebenezer and Elizabeth Hyatt, born June 6, 1718.

KIRK, Theodore Howard,
Retired Business Man.
After long activity in the business arena, Mr. Kirk is enjoying life as a pri- vate citizen of Stamford, Connecticut, and yet, not altogether as a private citizen, for his public-spirited zeal, combined with the urgency of his friends and neighbors, has drawn him into the sphere of politics, and he is now serving as one of the as- sessors of his home city.
The name of Kirk was derived from the word "kirke," meaning church. Fam- ilies living near the church assumed this word as a surname and it was known at a very early period, Joan-atte Kirk being recorded in 1217.
Members of the Kirk family were early settled in New York State. In the north- ern part of that State a pond one mile long and one half mile wide, and noted for its excellent fishing, was called Kirk's pond in honor of a family long resident in the neighborhood.
John Kirk, from Derby, England, was one of those who, in 1687, settled in Darby, Pennsylvania. He married, in 1688, Joan, daughter of Peter Ellet, and they were the parents of eleven children. One of these, William Kirk, was living in 1705. There seems to be no doubt that from this family of Kirks, the Kirks of Stamford were descended.
designer and builder of homes. Mr. Kirk married Mary, daughter of Abijah Hinck- ley, of Dutchess county, New York, and their children were: James; Julia; War- ren, mentioned below; Demond; Horace ; and Laura. The youngest son, Horace, did gallant service for his country in the Civil War, eventually giving his life for the cause of freedom.
(II) Warren Kirk, son of William and Mary (Hinckley) Kirk, was born Septem- ber 17, 1829, in the town of Kent, Putnam county, New York, and received his edu- cation in the public schools of his native town, afterward learning the carpenter's trade under the instruction of his father, with whom he was associated both in business and in agricultural interests. About 1851 he removed to Danbury, Con- necticut, where he engaged in farming, and in 1861 he became a resident of Stam- ford, establishing a fish and vegetable market. Very soon, however, business all over the country felt the disrupting influ- ence of the Civil War, and many loyal cit- izens, forsaking the warehouse, the office and the shop, rallied to the defense of the Federal government. Among these was Warren Kirk, who in the spring of 1862 enlisted in Fairfield, Connecticut, in Com- pany K, Seventeenth Regiment, Connec- ticut Volunteer Infantry. He passed through some of the bloodiest battles of the war and after the battle of Gaines- ville was invalided to a camp at Rock Creek, just outside Washington, District of Columbia, where the National Sol- diers' Home is now situated. During Mr. Kirk's stay there he formed a warm friendship with Dr. Bliss who was then in charge of the camp, and who, long after, became famous as the physician of President Garfield. Dr. Bliss suggested that Mr. Kirk erect the first hospital building on the camp grounds, and with
(I) William Kirk, grandfather of The- odore Howard Kirk, was born in Putnam county, New York, where he owned a small farm, spending, however, a large portion of his time in following the trade of a carpenter and builder. He was an excellent workman and, as this was be- fore the day when the architect gave ex- pert attention to other than pretentious structures, William Kirk's taste and in- genuity in contriving convenient and economical plans made him popular as a his assistance and that of President Lin-

coln, Mr. Kirk laid out the first hospital, a wooden structure of three stories. Pres- ident Lincoln was greatly interested in the work, going every day to watch its progress. Mr. Kirk was mustered out in 1865, at Indianapolis, Indiana.
After his return to Stamford, Mr. Kirk formed a partnership with Edwin N. Sco- field, of that city, under the firm name of Kirk & Scofield. They built many im- portant residences in Stamford and its vicinity, becoming one of the leading building firms in that part of Connecticut. After a time the partnership was dis- solved and Mr. Kirk continued the busi- ness alone until his retirement. He as- sisted in organizing Miner Post, Grand Army of the Republic. While never seek- ing political office he fulfilled, in the most satisfactory manner, the public duties which were required of him.
Mr. Kirk married, July 4, 1848, Mary Lake, born December 3, 1827, in Kent, Putnam county, New York, and they be- came the parents of the following chil- dren: I. Theodore Howard, mentioned below. 2. Andrew J., born February 10, 1851; now a resident of Ridgewood, New Jersey ; married Bella Unkles, and has one son, John. 3. William Warren, born March 6, 1852, in Patterson, New York; was for years editor and owner of the "New Canaan Messenger," and is now deceased ; married Mary Adelaide Noyes April 8, 1874, and their only son, William E. J. Kirk, is a physician. 4. Laura E., born March 14, 1853; married Julius A. Smith, and they have three children : Caroline A., Jennie Irene, and Marion Julia. 5. Phoebe J., born September 23, 1856, and is now deceased. 6. Charles A., born June 9, 1858; now a resident of Stamford; married Mary Lunney and they had two children, Howard and Harry. 7. Walter, born October 31, 1860. 8. Byron, born April 29, 1862. 9. Frank,
born August 3, 1865. 10. George C., born August 25, 1867, at Stamford; married Julia M. Scofield and had two children, Marjorie and Clinton. The three sons of Mr. and Mrs. Kirk, Walter, Byron, and Frank, are deceased. Mrs. Kirk passed away May 20, 1897.
Cheered by the company of his chil- dren and grandchildren, who were, none of them, far distant, Mr. Kirk spent his declining years in the serene conscious- ness of a useful life, and the comforting thought that the world was better for his having lived in it. On March 12, 1906, he "ceased from earth." The city of Stamford is proud of her institutions, her architectural beauty and her honorable history, but above all, she is proud of her men, the citizens who have made her what she is and have caused her name to be honored among the cities of the com- monwealth. On the roll containing the names of these men, that of Warren Kirk stands very high, and as the years go on the results which he accomplished and the influence which he diffused will be more and more highly appreciated.
(III) Theodore Howard Kirk, son of Warren and Mary (Lake) Kirk, was born October 17, 1849, in Patterson, New York, where he received his education in the pub- lic schools. His working days began when his father enlisted in the Union army and left for the seat of war. Theodore H., then a boy in his thirteenth year, obtained a position in a grocery store and it soon became evident that he had in him the makings of a successful business man. On March 12, 1884, his employer, C. W. Dearborn, having failed, Mr. Kirk pur- chased the business, forming a partner- ship with A. C. Dixon under the firm name of Kirk & Dixon. At the end of twenty-two years the connection was dis- solved, Mr. Kirk purchasing his partner's interest and for seven years conducting

the business alone, but under the old name. He then sold out to the Acker, Merrall & Condit Company, of New York, remaining with them as manager for thirteen years. In August, 1915, he re- signed, at the same time retiring from business.
Always an adherent of the Republican party, Mr. Kirk, since his release from the cares of business, has taken an active part in local politics, and in 1918 was elected one of the assessors for a term of six years. He affiliates with Union Lodge, No. 5, Free and Accepted Ma- sons, and Puritan Lodge, No. 43, Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows; also a member of Stamford Chamber of Com- merce since its organization.
Mr. Kirk married, June 22, 1887, C. Frances Bassett, whose ancestral record is appended to this biography, and they are the parents of two sons: I. Bennett Bassett, born July 31, 1889; volunteered in the United States Army Ambulance Corps, Section 563, and served eighteen months, eleven months of that time being spent in action in the Asiago sector on the Italian front; member Union Lodge, No. 5, Ancient Free and Accepted Ma- sons, and Bloomsburg Consistory, Penn- sylvania. 2. Frank Howard, born De- cember 21, 1891 ; volunteered and served in Battery D, Fifty-sixth Regiment, Coast Artillery Corps, eighteen months, nine months on French front; member of Union Lodge, No. 5, Free and Accepted Masons; and Consistory of Connecticut ; married, June 4, 1919, Edna E., daughter of John Higgins, of Stamford. Both sons are members of the Sons of the American Revolution through a collateral claim derived from Jacob Smith. Mrs. Theodore Howard Kirk is a member of the Congregational church, Mr. Kirk be- ยท longing to the First Baptist.

WELLSTOOD, Robert, Business Man, Public Official.
The Wellstood family is of that grand contribution of intelligent men which Scotland has made at various times to our citizenship. The earliest known member of the family was John Wellstood, who was born at Stroudwater, Gloucestershire, England. The surname of his wife was Clarke, and they were the parents of Ste- phen, of whom further.
(II) Stephen Wellstood was born at Stroudwater, England, in 1710, and died in 1800. He married Ann Davidson, who was born in the parish of Kirk Michael Strathdown, Banff, Scotland, died in 1793. Their son was Stephen (2), of whom further.

(IV) James Wellstood was born in the parish of Inveran, County of Banff Braes, Glenlivet, June 4, 1766, and died at Elizabethtown, New Jersey, August 19, 1825. He married, in 1786, Euphemia Yorston, who was born at Salton, and died in Newark, New Jersey, November 25, 1838. They were the parents of James (2), of whom further.
(V) James (2) Wellstood was born in Fishurow, Scotland, October 28, 1791, and died at New Haven, Connecticut, January 9, 1838. He married Ann Geikie, born in Dalkeith, Scotland, May 14, 1788, died in New Albany, New York, November 10, 1831, and her remains were removed to
New Haven, Connecticut. She was a daughter of John Geikie, granddaughter of Murdock Geikie, and great-grand- daughter of John Geikie.
(VI) John Geikie Wellstood, son of James (2) and Ann (Geikie) Wellstood, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Janu- ary 18, 1813, and died January 21, 1893. He came to America with his parents in 1829, and learned engraving in New York City. This occupation he followed for a few years, then became one of the in- corporators of the American Bank Note Company. He continued actively at his profession until his death. In 1872 he withdrew from that company and organ- ized the Columbia Bank Note Company, of Washington, D. C. That year he de- signed and engraved the backs of the United States banknotes, all the denomi- nations from one to five hundred dollar notes. The back of the one dollar notes now in use was designed by him. Mr. Wellstood was president of the company, and retired a few years before his death. As a special favor, he engraved the wed- ding invitations for General U. S. Grant's daughter, Nellie, who became Mrs. Sar- toris.
In 1860 Mr. Wellstood built his home in Greenwich, Connecticut, being among the first New Yorkers to recognize the desirability of that town as a place of resi- dence. He was a Democrat, and was the representative of the town in the Con- necticut Legislature; the principal inter- est of Mr. Wellstood was in his business, and he, was an artist as well as an ex- ceptionally skilled artisan.
Mr. Wellstood married, July 20, 1835, Mary McQueen, daughter of William and Hester (Porter) McQueen. She was born March 13, 1819, in New York City, and died April 16, 1897, in Greenwich. Her father was born in New York City, Sep- tember 13, 1799, and died May 16, 1830;

her mother, Hester (Porter) McQueen, was born at Ferrisburg, Vermont, April 10, 1800. Robert McQueen, father of William McQueen, was born in Scotland, and married Mary Muir, born April 16, 1779. After coming to America he had a foundry in Duane street, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Wellstood were the parents of the following children: William M .; John G., Jr .; Robert, of whom further ; Annie, died young; Mary M., married Russell Hunt, of Ridgefield; James ; and Stephen.
(VII) Robert Wellstood, third child of John G. and Mary (McQueen) Well- stood, was born in New York City, Au- gust 16, 1842, and was educated in the old Greenwich avenue school of New York City. As a child he was not robust, and when he was about twelve years old the doctor ordered that he must be put into some active employment. There- fore, he found employment in Batten's Hosiery Store, where he remained for a year or two. After leaving there he went into the insurance business, where he re- mained until becoming associated with his father in the bank note business, where he was employed as a bookkeeper for some years.
In politics, Mr. Wellstood is a Demo- crat, and the town is overwhelmingly Republican, yet since 1903 Mr. Wellstood has been elected to the office of town clerk of Greenwich, which is ample proof of the high esteem in which he is held, as both parties have aided in his election. He has served as a delegate to many party conventions.
Fraternally, Mr. Wellstood is a mem- ber of Acacia Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Greenwich, of which he was secretary for many years. He is its old- est member and was "raised" in the same lodge in 1865, and when he had been fifty-two years a Mason, he was presented
by the lodge with a fine solid gold watch. He is also the oldest member of Ritten- house Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, of Stamford, and is a charter member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in Greenwich. Mr. Wellstood has also been secretary of this lodge for a number of years.
Mr. Wellstood married Catherine Brush, daughter of Joseph Brush, of Greenwich, and they were the parents of three children: I. Robert M., born July 16, 1869; in 1890 he became as- sociated with his father in the real estate and insurance business under the name of Robert Wellstood & Son, the son having the active management of the business. 2. Ella B., deceased. 3. Frank Geikie, born July 13, 1874, mar- ried Cora Sutherland. He is the New York Telephone Company's agent for Greenwich and Port Chester. Mr. Wells- stood is senior warden of Christ Episcopal Church, of Greenwich; he was clerk of . the church for twenty-three years and has been active in church work as a dele- gate to many conventions. In his younger days he was active in the Sunday school, serving some time as superintendent. Mrs. Catherine (Brush) Wellstood died July 15, 1919, having been married for fifty-four years.
