JOSEPH QUINBY (3RD)born 12 Mar. 1791, at Saccarappa, now Westbrook, Me. He was married by Rev. Caleb Bradley 11 Feb. 1813, at Saccarappa, to Eliza, daugh¬ter of Joseph and Sally (Waterhouse) Bailey, born 17 Oct. 1792. Parson Bradley records that the fee he received for performing the ceremony was $1.51. (IV. Me. Hist, and Gen. Rec.) "Joseph, Jr. to whom Mr. Harvey presented his Diary, was a house carpenter, and seems to have been a sort of rolling stone. He purchased 17 March, 1817, what is known as the Nicholas Harmon place, located at North Scarboro,' which after he sold it to one Hanson, became notorious as an inn and which now remains. In 1823, he was residing at the corner of Essex and Congress streets, Portland; Me." (L. B. Chapman in Deering News, 27 Apr. 1895).
"In 1807, the Embargo Act caused such an unsettled state of affairs in the country that Joseph could not obtain steady employment in his chosen occupation, and purchasing some horses, he engaged in carrying merchandise between different points. He travelled as far east as the Provinces and as far west as New York, and was often gone three months at a time. During the war of 1812, he belonged to the Minute men serving in Capt. Benjamin Bradford's company, 45th regiment, U. S. Infantry. In politics he was a Jeffersonian Democrat. After the war of 1812, he obtained work as a joiner in Saccarappa and Portland and so continued to the time of his death. Joseph died 28 Apr. 1838; Eliza his wife died 5 May, 1874. "The Quinby Family" by Henry Cole Quinby 1915, p. 294-295.
