Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Josiah Quincy Edmund Quincy, the emigrant ancestor of the Quincy family in this country, came from Achurch, Northamptonshire, England. He arrived here Sept. 4, 1633, in the same vessel with the Rev. John Cotton, and several laymen "of good estate." His descendants have not been numerous; but, as many of them were educated men and in public life, the name has always been distinguished. Josiah Quincy, jun., so called because he died in the lifetime of his father, and because his name thus written is indissolubly associated with the early struggles which led to American Independence, was of the fifth generation. He was then a young lawyer in Boston, rapidly rising into note. Of an ardent temperament, jealous for the rights and liberties of the Colonies, bold, eloquent, incorruptible, he was eminently fitted to become a leader in the impending Revolution. He was married, in October, 1769, to Abigail Phillips, the eldest daughter of William Phillips, one of the most distinguished and successful of the Boston merchants of that day. They resided in Washington (then Marlborough) Street, nearly opposite the old Province House, where was born, Feb.4, 1772, their son Josiah, the subject of the following memoir.
