  • 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.

      August, 2000- Although not listed in the Hale Index, we were fortunate to find the Quin grave about half way up the street perpendicular to the office. and about 6 stones in on the right. The marker says 'Quinn' but it is clearly the right one as it spells out Margaret's full name.
