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 William Quimby and his sons John & Thomas, all of Westchester, NY, and that of William's probable nephew, 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.

-- James Savage, op. cit.
NOTE: No "Anne Quimby" was found among the descendants of (10096) Thomas of Farnham, other than those of (5048) William.
"Barnabas Lamson, Planter, of Salisbury, taxed in 1652, bought and sold land there in 1654. He that year was convicted by the Norfolk Court of fornication with Elizabeth Osgood. He gave bonds to appear and be whipped, and also to maintain the child which should be born; but the bonds were forfeited. If Elizabeth Osgood should keep her child, and secure the town, she was to have the remainder of Barnabas Lamson 's estate. She was also to appear and be whipped, her father Wm. Osgood being the bondsman for her appearance.
"Robert and Elizabeth were attacked in 1677 by the Indian, Symon, who was thought to be a friend of the family. Robert was killed and Elizabeth wounded and left for dead. Elizabeth was appointed administrator of the estate on 10/9/1677; Inventory 8/27/1677; Robert Quinby was administrator; the estate was divided in1700."
-- "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury" by David W. Hoyt p.23 c/o http://www.spoonergen.com/res/resn33.htm
"The arms of the QUINBY family are: Argent, two bars sable in chief a proper Cornish chough. Crest: A Cornish chough in arms.
"The recent researches of Henry Cole QUINBY Esq., of New York City, have untangled many perplexing snarls regarding the ancestry of this family. There is no discoverable authority for the statement that Thomas QUINBY was the founder of the family in America. There is ground for a reasonable supposition that Robert and William QUINBY, who settled about the same time in New England, the former in Norfolk county, Massachusetts, the latter in Connecticut, were related, probably brothers, but nothing has thus far been found to establish any relationship between them."
-- http://www.rootsweb.com/~njmorris/lewisbios/gurneeisaacq.htm
Sometimes a christening date of 23 Mar 1623 comes up for (10097i_a) Robert. This no doubt comes from the online records of Boston, Lincolnshire (IGI). Apparently no satisfactory baptismal record for (5048) William could be found there, because William is usually posted as having come from Farnham, Surrey (where perhaps an ancient line exists?). Some researchers have "corrected" this mismatch by having Robert born in Surrey, as the son of William, then having his (unnamed) mother race up to Lincolnshire to have him baptized! This, in itself, ought to be convincing proof that nobody yet knows who the parents of either Quimby patriarch were. I am posting them here as uncle and nephew (as some early historians guessed them to be), simply because, having arrived in America on the same ship at the same time, they stand a good chance of being somehow related :-)
