m#MOODYMOODYm#QUINNQUINN posted by Jerry Quinn on Saturday, November 22, 1997

Looking for information on the QUINN family in Duplin County. The farthest back I have been able to trace my branch of this extensive family is to George Allen QUINN (26 Jun 1826 - 8 Mar 1890) of Albertson. Having checked the 1830 Federal Census, I know that there were several other QUINN families at the time; James (between 30-40 years old), David (between 60-70 years old - this guy fought in the Revolutionary war), Loftin (between 50-60 years old), Caleb (between 60-70 years old), and another Loftin (between 30-40 years old). Strangely enough, none of the QUINNs have any land records in Duplin County nor Marriage Banns in the records. George's wife was Sarah MOODY (8 Sep 1830 - 25 Aug 1894).
