The information on John Quincy is born 24 Aug 1800, New York and married Kesiah Hartshorn, which I can't locate the date at this time. John Quincy died 1896 in Richfield, Adams, Illinois. They had 8 children.

Re: Benjamin Quincy

Do you know where Benjamin Quincy and Sally Hammond as I don't have much information on them.

Re: Benjamin Quincy

CarolynWinstryg88 — 2006-07-17 02:11:30Z

The information I have on Hannah Quincy is she is born Halfmoon Town, Albany, New York. She married Henry Clark Hollembeak in 1810 in Fayette Co., Kentucky and died in Richfield, Adams Co., Illinois on 4 Sept 1866. They had 10 children.

Re: Benjamin Quincy

CarolynWinstryg88 — 2006-07-17 02:11:30Z

It pretty much sound like Edmund Quincy would be his father as I have been looking quite a bit the past few months and haven't found anything new on Benjamin Quincy. I have the information on the original Quincy tree.

2006-07-13 01:26:06Z

How would I be able to get a copy of this family tree? Is there somewhere that this could be purchased? Would you be able to sell a copy of what you have? I have been working on this and really want to see if my Quincy line matches up with the Edmund Quincy lines. Please let me know!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Benjamin Quincy

2006-07-12 12:23:47Z

It's true. John Quincy Adams grandmother was a Quincy and John Hancock's second marriage was to a Dorothy Quincy. I have a copy of Quincy family tree that my grandmother had. The original is either at the Quincy Historical Society in Quincy, MA, or at the Newbury Library in Chicago, IL. I know that's where my grandmother did a lot of her research.

Re: Benjamin Quincy

2006-07-11 18:41:45Z

If my searching is right........ I have Benjamin Quincy (1767-1856) as the son of Edmond Quincy and Rebecca Lloyd. Edmund's parents were Josiah Quincy and Hannah Sturgis. If this is true it will all link to John Quincy Adams and John Hancock. Has anyone been able to verify this?

Thanks for any help that you can give!!!!

Re: Benjamin Quincy

2006-07-03 11:17:38Z

I have his father as Edmund Quincy, b. 10/1/1733 Braintree, MA d. 5/30/1768 at sea; mother as Rebecca Lloyd, b. 1/2/1745/46 Stamford, CT d. unknown. Only child is Benjamin.

This was per all the info that my mother had collected plus a copy of the original family tree info that was published by the Quincy Historical Society.

Re: Benjamin Quincy

2006-07-03 11:10:56Z

Do you have any information at all on Hannah? Her parents, birthdate, etc.? Hannah is unfortunately not uncommon in the Quincy line.

Re: Benjamin Quincy

2006-07-03 11:09:25Z

Do you have any of John's information? John, again, was one of those common names in the Quincy family.

Re: Benjamin Quincy

2006-07-03 11:07:51Z

Do you know who his parents are? Birthdate? Unfortunately, Benjamin is a common name in the Quincy line and without at least that information, I can't pin him down closer.

Re: Benjamin Quincy

dinahiggs — 2006-07-03 00:57:19Z

I am also a descendant of Benjamin Quincy. My line goes through John Quincy. I have that Benjamin Quincy was born 1767 and died 1856 and Sallie Hammond Born 1767 and dies 1862. If anyone has found more information that would be very helpful!

Benjamin Quincy parentage

TheodoreWright22 — 2002-11-19 19:50:29Z

To Tina Wright: In the pamphlet, "Descendants of Edmund Quincy 1602-1637..." compiled by H. Hobart Holly, Historian, Quincy Historical Society, 8 Adams St, Quincy, MA 02169, 1977, p.14, it lists Benjamin Quincy (son of Edmund (1733-68), son of Josiah(1710-1784), son of Edmund(1681-1737), son of Edmund(1627-1697), son of Edmund(1602-1647), the settler: "no records, existence is doubtful." On p9 under his presumed father: "Edmund Quincy born 1733 at Braintree MA, died May 30,1768 at sea on a voyage to the West Indies; marriage intention Nov.30, 1767 at Boston to Rebecca Lloyd, daughter of John and Sarah Lloyd of Stamford CT who was born Jan2, 1745. He graduated from Harvard 1752 and was a merchant in Boston. Child of Edmund and Rebecca: Benjamin (so, born 1768?)In memoirs of the Quincy family, Eliza Susan Quincy states that they were engaged but the wedding was delayed because of his poor health."(This suggests that Benjamin may have been illegitimate because his father died at sea before his parents could get married.) Note that the Lloyds lived in Stamford CT, not far from Dutchess Co. NY) The supplement No.l, lists another Benjamin Quincy of Warwick, MA aged 24 in 1777 when he enlisted; married 1779 to Sarah Dorr: daughter Nancy 1780; son Edmund born 1782. His parentage unknown.

Re: Benjamin Quincy

junifer — 2002-05-01 17:53:00Z

I am also searching for Benjamin Quincy and Sarah Hammond. Some believe that Benjamin's father and mother were on a ship and were going to be married when they landed and he died at sea and Rebecca (mother) had Benjamin after they landed. So I believe this is why it is so hard to find the parents of Benjamin. I have Edmund Quincy and Rebecca Lloyd as his parents and trying to find concrete proof of this information.

I don't show this Benjamin Quincy. The Quincy Historical Society in Quincy, MA, has put out a booklet with two addendums that show a good portion of the Quincy family tree. I have a copy of the original booklet but not the two addendums. It's possible that he is listed in one of the two addendums. I am attempting to get copies of these two addendums. I will let you know what I find out.
