PVT CO D 138 OHIO INF

Joseph B. Quinby married to Annie Laurie.

Joseph served during the Civil War in the 138th Ohio Infantry, so they must have lived in Ohio when he enlisted. Before that, they were living in New Orleans, LA where they had a son named Sylfio Laurie Quinby in 1857. Later children: daughter Sylphia Laurie, sons Emanuel Swedenborg (actor E.S. Laurie), Isaac Franklin, Joseph B Jr, John Laurie; daughter Annie Laurie; sons Henry S and Josiah Kilby (Cassius Clay). [Elizabeth A and William B are children of Annie Laurie's 1st marriage to William Curtis Havens, but later took Quinby last name.] In the 1880's when Annie was drawing Joseph's civil war widow's pension, she was living in Dayton, Kentucky.

"He had a beautiful country home at Biloxi, Miss., and kept a book store in New Orleans. The people, knowing that he was opposed to secession, made it disagreeable for him, and finally he was warned in the night by a friend that affairs were becoming serious and that it was not safe for him to remain longer. He fled to Cincinnati, which he reached with only a hundred dollars left of all his possessions. He was fortunate to get away when he did, as the train which carried him and his family was the last to be allowed through the Northern lines. He thereafter served in the Federal army. He had married Annie, daughter of John William and Elizabeth (Johnston) Laurie, then Mrs. Haven. While in Cincinnati she was editor and publisher of a Woman's rights paper. Mr. Quinby was editor of the Cincinnati Times and of the Newport (Ky.) Leader. He and his wife took a copy¬right 30 Mar. 1872, on the Weekly Campbell County Leader. Mr. Quinby afterward lived at Dayton, Ky., was one of the three original members of the Union League and died at Dayton."
