Descendants of Thomas Quint (ca 1655- ? )Home Page This site lists the known descendants of Thomas Quint (First person of the name "Quint" to be referred to in America, taxed 1684 in Greenland, NH). Most of the genealogical data was based on the "Records of the Quint Family of Maine & New Hampshire" compiled by Marion L. Dunn from Family Records, Deeds, Wills, Vital Statistics, etc. Contributed by Elizabeth Wadsworth Chapter, D.A.R. (Typed by Mrs. John Linsky, Jr. Portland, Maine 1949-1950 (Recorded on LDS film # 40768). "The Quint Genealogy" by Charles N. Sinnett (typewritten 1925, available at NYC Public Library) was also used for information. Additional information has been contibuted by many individuals who are searching among relatives of the Quint fammily. The genealogical data appears on RootsWeb World Connect in the Family Trees database of QUINTTHOMAS. You can access RootsWeb site by clicking here Click on FAMILY TREES at the top of ROOTS WEB page, then enter QUINTTHOMAS in the box for the NAME OF THE DATABASE. Prior to March 2003 the data could be accessed directly from this site but that access has been removed. It was removed to protect the security of “living” individuals and help prevent the problem of “identity theft” of living individuals in the database. By sending my GED file through Roots Web the first names of “living” individuals are replaced with “LIVING” and all dates associated with them are deleted. If no death date appears in the GED file then the individual is listed as living if born less than 100 years ago. This may cause some deceased individuals to be listed as “living”. Going though Roots Web makes the files easy to update from a GED file and distributes the data to a wider audience. At the same time any potential “identity theft” is thwarted. STORY & PHOTO SECTION My father, Philip G. Parsons, and mother, Hazel K. Quint, were active in collecting genealogical data on their families. In addition to the dates and names they collected stories written by individuals and relatives. Stories of "Quint" relatives and other relatives of Ray Parsons are listed in the story section of Ray Parsons' web page. The Quint stories are found at that web site and you are invited to go to the Story & Photo Section. The stories tell the pioneering history of the Quint family in Kansas. They are very interesting, DON'T MISS THEM. QUINT OBITUARIES Edward H. Quint sent me 2 pages of Quint Obituaries which I scanned and placed on this web site.

Some family members thought the family came from "The Isle of Man" but there was never any proof found. Philip Quint (peaquod@aol.com 1999) has indicated to me that he thinks they may have come from near Trier, Germany (Click here for link to Trier city Web Site) and that there are currently people with the Quint surname living there as well as a section of the area called Quint. A note from Harriet Quint (premio_rulfo@hotmail.com) in September 2003 tells of her roots being from near Trier. In April 1766, two of three brothers Johann Quint (b. 1713) and Johann George Quint emigrated from Wintrich, near Trier, to the Banat region of Austria (today part of Romania) and together with other emigrants founded the village Hatzfeld (German name, now called Jimbolia, Romania, near Yugoslovia border). These Quint family descendants were mostly born in Hatzfeld until they emigrated back to German during the communism in Romania. They now live not far from the region of their ancestors of 1766. The Quint name may have originated with Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V (also called Charles Quint) in about 1520.
