    Notes:

    Ran cold water flats on a large tract of land on the Long Island shore in Bridgeport per Nancy L. Spang Becque.
    There is a letter in Mrs. Becque's possession written by a distant cousin who claimed that Patrick's father was Thadeus Quin who was an engineer on the Paris to Calais Railroad. He had 12 sons and 1 daughter. The daughter was Mary Ann Quin who married the tutor, John Gray.
    ---
    Oral Family History claimed Patrick was related to the Wyndham-Quins (Earls of Dunraven). This is yet to be proven and is unlikely given he was raised in Belfast.

    P. W. QUINN RETIRES

    Has been with U.M.C. Co. for past 40 years as Expert Toolmaker

    P.W. Quin of Revere street has tendered his resignation as an employee of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company*, to take effect at once. Mr. Quin for the past 40 years has been a valued employee of the toolmaking department of the company; and his resignation is regretted by his associates. Prior to his engagement with the Cartridge Company he was employed in the capacity of master mechanic of the Sprague company of Central Falls, R.I.
    Mr. Quin has accumulated considerable real estate in this city, and will now devote his time to his holdings. During his long period of employment Mr. Quin has taken but few vacations, the most extensive of which was in the summer of 1903, when he made a tour of the continent.

    (published in the Bridgeport, Connecticut paper in about 1905.)
    *later to become part of Remington Arms.

    Patrick married BARR, Margaret Jane 09 Jul 1864, St. Malachy's, Belfast, Ireland. Margaret (daughter of BARR, David and BRONSON, Sarah) was born 10 Apr 1844, Ireland; died 04 Aug 1930, New Haven, Connecticut, USA; was buried 06 Aug 1930, St. Michael's Cemetery, Bridgeport, Connecticut.

  2. 3.  BARR, Margaret Jane was born 10 Apr 1844, Ireland (daughter of BARR, David and BRONSON, Sarah); died 04 Aug 1930, New Haven, Connecticut, USA; was buried 06 Aug 1930, St. Michael's Cemetery, Bridgeport, Connecticut.

    Notes:

    Note: The headstone at St. Michael's claims Margaret was born in 1860. Since her marriage was confirmed as 1864, this is highly unlikely. Her obituary does not list an age. It is possible that she was born around 1850 or before. The 1930 census lists her age as 86 which would mean she was born in 1844.
