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.
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.

Origin of the Quint Family
The country of origin of Thomas Quint is unknown. 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. Click here for more on Charles Quint 1500-1558)
If anyone finds verification of the tie to "the old country", please let me know about it. --- Ray Parsons.
