New Biography

"Rachel Quinton, wife of James Smith, was the daughter of Edward Quinton and his wife Temperance Smith, daughter of Daniel. Edward Quinton died 1756 and his wife Temperance, 1775, aged 75 years. Edward was the son of Tobians Quinton, who emigrated from England and purchased a large tract of land on Alloways Creek, where the village of Quinton now stands, memorable for a massacre of militia by the troops of Sir William Howe. Tobias died 1705."^[5]

According to Lee, Tobias was her grandfather, which means Edward Quinton (-bef.1756) is her father.
