Stary Quinns


Drumcro 1838 Kilmorey Estate Rent Roll entries: Terence Quinn & Son Arthur Quinn Michael Quinn
Richard Quinn This may be a “red herring” but it is interesting that there is a Hamilton QUINN (born 1827-1835), to Richard QUINN and Mary WILSON. Researcher Helen Belcher is interested in the wife of Patrick QUINN born 1833 at "Springfield". Her maiden name is given as "Margaret QUINN" born 1842 and Helen wonders if this is where Hamilton Quinn fits?
Michael Quinn There are several references to Michael Quinn from Drumcro including an 1838 and 1870 Kilmorey Estate Rent Roll entries.

Note: the name MARK appears again – this is not a common name in the area at the time so there could be a connection to James Hamilton Quinn’s brother. I thought perhaps Felix was in Central America as a missionary priest but a quick google search reveals info. on a banana planter Felix Quinn: In 1892 two planters, Floriano Havadí and Felix Quinn, Spanish Honduras, Belize and the Spanish Main via Boston and New Orleans
