| John Joseph Quinn was born on June 14, 1890 in the Parish of Kinvara, Townland of Caheravoneen, Co. Galway. Although he was born John Patrick (according to church records from the West Galway History Center), he went by the name John Joseph Quinn. John came to the United States around 1915. On July 9 1928, John Quinn, served as a witness to William J. Quinn’s Petition for Naturalization. At the time his occupation was chauffeur and he resided at 512 West 135th Street. According to records from the West Galway History Center, John married Delia Gillane on May 02, 1933 at St. Joseph's Church, Galway; however, his WWII draft information indicate that his wife's name was Ellen. John may have served in the military during WWI as a census record for a John and "Ellis" Quinn in 1930, living at 512 West 135th Street, indicates that John did serve. More information may be needed to prove that this John on the census record is the son of William Quinn and Bridget Brannelly. Social Security records indicate that John Quinn died in August of 1965. | |||

Bridget “Delia”
Quinn was born sometime in
1901. It is not recorded, but it is assumed that she was also born in
Caheravoneen. Delia, the youngest, remained in Ireland and farmed the
Quinn family land with her husband, Joe Stanton, until the 1940's. Delia
had two children, Teresa and Billy Stanton.
On the back of the picture to the right is written "Delia's 2 babies" so it can be assumed that this is Teresa and Billy Stanton. It is said that Delia died during or after childbirth. |
