Biography

Birth

Robert Quinby was born in 1625 in Farnham, Surrey, England^[1]

Name

Name: Robert /Quimby/^[2][3]

The progenitor of the Quinby family in America was Robert Quinby, a shipbuilder, who settled at Salisbury, Massachusets in June 1653.

Robert and William Quinby (undetermined relationship) came from England before 1639, probably to Salem, Massachusets. It is very probable that they were descendants of the well known Quinby family of Farnham, in the county of Surrey, England.

The family is Norman French extraction, but under the name of Quinborough resided previous to the emigration to America in Norfolk, England.

The armorial bearings of the family crest of the Quinbys and Quimbys were described in an article by W. B. Morrill, Register of Probate, in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, and a famous historian and genealogist. They were published in the Exeter Newlsetter on August 6, 1855.

Around 1653, Robert married Elizabeth Osgood, daughter of William Osgood, (a millwright) and Elizabeth (? nee) Osgood, residents of Salisbury, Massachusetts. ^[4]

Two of Robert and Elizabeth's sons moved to New Hampshire 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.
