Loftin Quinn came to North Carolina in the 1730’s. Quinn marriages of the late 18th century show his family mainly in Carteret and Duplin counties. The Quinn homestead at Comfort apparently still remains. A subsequent Loftin Quinn was a veteran of the War of 1812. He was buried in the old Quinn burying ground in Shelby county, Alabama.
