(The Quinby Line).


The Quinby family are supposed to have come over into England with the Danish in- vasion, the name originating at Quarmby or Quermby near Hotherfield, Yorkshire, and the first person bearing the name on record being Hugh de Quarmby, 1341. Branches of the family moved into Farnham, Surrey, near London, and in the south transept of the old church there is a tablet to Robert Quynby, one of the first bailiffs of Farnham, who died in 1570. According to tradition a Quinby set- tled at Stratford-on-Avon, and is said to have been related to Shakespeare through Judith Shakespeare, who married Richard Quinby, but the researches of Dr. George A. Quinby, of New York, have conclusively proved that this is an error, the real name of Judith Shakespeare's husband being Quinny, not Quinby. The arms of the Quinby family are : Argent, two bars sable in chief a proper Corn- ish chough. Crest: A Cornish chough in arms.


(I) Thomas Quinby, the founder of the American branch of the family, landed in Salem, Massachusetts, about 1630, accom- panied by his sons, John and Robert.

Children : 1. Albert Waterman, born in New York, died December 8, 1873. 2. Arthur H. Mackie; children: Elizabeth Quinby, born in Newark, April, 1904, and Nelson Wright, born November 13, 1906.

Louisa Elise, born in New York; married Carter, remaining in their employ until the failure of the firm in 1834, when he engaged in business on his own account, building up a profitable trade, his transactions with the south (XI) Marie Antoinette, daughter of James Moses and Phebe Ayres (Sweazy) Quinby, was born in Park place, Newark, New Jersey. 1846, died at her home in Newark, after a long illness, March 7, 1909. She was a graduate of St. Mary's School at Burlington, New Jersey. 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 personal sacrifice, she materially aided many a good and noble work. Gifted with great wisdom in management and great executive ability, possessing a wide influence for good, and persistently using all her efforts for the betterment of mankind, success invari- ably crowned her labors. For many years she was a member of the board of managers of the Colonial Dames, of New Jersey ; member of the Trent Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and manager in various charitable organizations. She was appointed by the state to represent New Jersey, in the interests of women, at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1892. At the time of the war with Spain she was one of the leaders in procuring funds for the fitting out of the relief ship "The Solace," and also spent days and nights at the railroad stations assisting the sick returning soldiers on their way. She was the organizer of Section becoming so extensive that he established branch factories at Montgomery, Alabama, and Columbus, Georgia, which were highly remun- erative. Being of an intensely patriotic dispo- sition, loyal to the cause of the Union, he was called upon to make many sacrifices in his busi- ness 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, ren- dering valuable and efficient service, there being at that time no remueration attached to the office, so none but men of public spirit and in- tegrity 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 communicant 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 commissioners of the city. Mr. Quinby married Phebe Ayres, daughter of Richard and Hannah (Hays) Sweazy, granddaughter of William Sweazy,

No. II, Army and Navy Relief Society, and its only president. She was the founder of the Woman's Branch of the New Jersey Historical Society and its president since its inception, de- voting a large share of her time to its work and interests. Her death removed from the com- munity 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 to perform well their part in whatever station in life their lot is cast.


(For preceding generations see Thomas Quinby 1). (XI) James Milnor, fifth child QUINBY and second son of James Moses and Phebe Ayres (Sweazy) Quinby, was . born in Orange, New Jersey, March 27, 1852, died at his residence, 24 Elm street, Newark, May 21, 1892. He was edu- cated in Koenigsberg, Germany; engaged in business with his father and continued for many years, finally retiring. He married Mary V. Casey, born November 10, 1854. Children : I. William O'Gorman, referred to below. 2. Anna Wright, born March 10, 1882.


(XII) William O'Gorman, only son of James Milnor and Mary V. (Casey) Quinby, was born in Orange, New Jersey, March 4, 1877. For his early education he was sent to the public school, after leaving which he entered and graduated in 1896 from the Newark Academy. He then took the course in the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, and received his M. D. degree from that institution in 1900. For the next two years he was one of the internes of the City Hospital, New York, and for a time also one of the ambulance surgeons at Roosevelt Hospital. In 1902 he came to Newark, where he has ever since been engaged in the general practice of his profession. In January, 1908, he enlisted in the Essex Troops, of which he is now the surgeon. He is also a member of the State, County and City Medical societies of New Jersey, and of various other medical organiza- tions of the country. In politics Dr. Quinby is an independent, and in religious convictions a Roman Catholic.


The name Reeve has been con- REEVE nected by some with the same root as the German "Graf," meaning a count, or prefect, but Skeat and the best English etymologists derive it from the Anglo-Saxon "gerefa," signifying an officer, a governor, and meaning originally one who is excellent or famous. The word is a common


one in the English language, though in modern times its form is somewhat disguised, as in the term sheriff, which is simply a shortened form of shire-reeve. Both in this country and in England the families bearing the name spell it in the forms Reeve and Reeves, the latter of which was originally a simple possessive case of the former mistaken for the nominative case itself. In New Jersey the families of the name trace their ancestry back to two progenitors both of whom probably came to this country, direct from England. One of them, Mark Reeve, of Cohansey, Salem county, certainly did, and the other, the founder of the family at present under consideration, most probably from the neighborhood of East Barnett, Hert- fordshire, England, although it is possible that he may have come from England by way of Southold, Long Island.


(I) Walter Reeve, founder of the family of Burlington county, New Jersey, came to Bur- lington some time before 1682 and settled on Rancocas creek, where he died. He was a farmer, and he appears also to have traded with foreign parts, as there is in the archives of the New Jersey secretary of state at Tren- ton a bill of lading dated April 3, 1691, for cheese and flour shipped by him to John Brett, merchant, of Barbadoes. At his death Walter Reeve possessed two plantations-one of one hundred and sixty acres, and the other of two hundred acres. By his first wife, whose name is unknown, and whom he probably mar- ried in England, he had at least one son John, who is referred to below, and possibly the first three who are here credited to his second wife were borne him by his first. November II, 1682, Walter Reeve married (second) Anne Howell, who survived nearly forty years. His will is written May 16, and proved June 18, 1698, while hers was made September 23, 1732, and proven July 31, 1733. She bore her husband: I. Susanna. 2. William, married, and left four children. 3. Joseph, living at date of his mother's will. 4. Walter, born about 1684, died March 21, 1764; married Ann 5. Jonathan, died about 1726; married Mary Hewlings, widow. 6. Elisha, on whose estate letters of administration were granted to David Watson, December 13, 1750. 7.

In 1704 he was granted the right to keep the ferry between Burlington and Philadelphia.
