2525. unknown

The identity of the grandfather of (631) Anne is a matter of speculation. There only seems to have been two Quimby families in the Northeastern US at the time, namely, that of (5048) William Quimby and his sons (5049iii) John & (2524) Thomas, all of Westchester, NY, and that of William's probable nephew, (10097i_a) Robert, in Salisbury, MA.

Robert's family has been thoroughly researched, and there appears to be no likely father of either (631) Anna or (1263ii) Elizabeth in it. John's family all seem to have remained in Westchester Co. & New Jersey. That leaves us, for the moment, with William's son Thomas Quimby (1627-AFT 1664), who had the virtue (for our purposes) of disappearing from the records after 1664.
