Thank you for your response.

My ggg-grandfather was William Quary who was born in Ireland about 1765. He married Susannah Skaggs on 2 NOV 1799 in Green County, Kentucky.

Do you know the names of the parents of David Quarry, Emma Donaldson and Fred Fay? Would you be willing to share this information with me?

Thank you again for your response and help to my inquiry,

William Querry (Query, Queary, Quary, Quarry) - Ireland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia

orchid2004 — 2009-01-04 18:50:05Z

William Querry is my ggg-grandfather. It is believed that he was born in Ireland between 1772-1785 and d. 1837 in Lee County, Virginia. The next we hear of him, he is in Kentucky. On November 2, 1799, he marries Susannah Skaggs (b. 1777 in Kentucky and d. 1837(?)in Lee County, Virginia), daughter of John Skaggs Sr.(b. 1728 in Virginia and d. 1829 in Kentucky). I am trying to find when William departed Ireland/sailed to America and on what ship. All the records in Ancestry only show people departing the British Isles who were born in the 1800's or later. I am also trying to find the names of William's parents and any brothers and sisters. Did anyone else travel with him when he came to America? If anyone has any information, I would appreciate your sharing.

Thank you,

Brenda

Hi. She's in my family line, too, through McHenry or Mack Henry Morris.

Where did you find the marriage info?

I can only find her one one census (1870). I am wondering if her name is actually Eloisa and simply spelled wrong. I have an Eleanora (error) mistaken for Clarence (correct) in one of her grandchildren.

Re: Quary/Quarry of Hawkins Co.

2006-06-12 13:02:29Z

The haplogroup is R1b1. Please keep in mimd that my brother who matched exactly with a Quarry is a Holt. Another possibility to look at is the Melungeon line, which was concentrated in the area of TN where my Holts were. Since the Melungeons were looked down upon, either a Quarrry or Holt or both could have changed his/their name from something else. Researching the Melungeon line is worse than "hitting a brick wall." One feels completely surrounded by brick walls.

Re: Quary/Quarry of Hawkins Co.

2006-06-12 06:10:44Z

What was the y-chromosome letter group for him? That might give us a clue. I'm not sure if this line connects with any of mine, but I love checking out thing like this so I will dig into my notes and cross check my Hawkins Co families to see if there is anything. Getting a list of the men that were listed as tories might help. See if there is any Quary on it. I will check on some of the Native possibilies. Will keep you posted. Good Luck!

Re: Quary/Quarry of Hawkins Co.

2006-06-12 03:15:55Z

The results that matched exactly for my brother and a Quarry were 13 25 14 11 11 14 12 12 12 13 13 29 17 9 10 11 11 27 15 19 29 15 15 16 17. I'm assuming the marker results are always given a a particular order, but if you want that order, I can post it also.

Re: Quary/Quarry of Hawkins Co.

wolfmtn18 — 2006-06-12 01:59:17Z

What was the result of the dna, if you don't mind posting it? Thanks

Re: Quary/Quarry of Hawkins Co.

wolfmtn18 — 2006-06-12 01:57:41Z

Check and see if there was a name change because of the Rev War. Alot of tories took their mothers maiden name to hide or change it all together to another family name. Also with the native connection that this family has it could be he took another name because it just wanted to. Look for the other name in the Cherokee rolls and see if you get any clues.

Quarry/Quary - Hawkins County TN

Looking for information on Quary, children Charles
born 1894 and Molly born 1904.

Quary of Hawkins County

LVDUKE — 2006-05-16 14:52:27Z

My A. W. Quary, aka William Augusta or Augusta William
died March 23, 1898 and is probably one of the same in
cemetary, but birthplace is unknown to me. There was also
a William H. Quary who married Mary Eliza Starnes February
13, 1901 in Hawkins County, but it is unknown if from
same family. I have no information on family except for
above. If you find out anything, let me know. Thanks.

Re: Quary/Quarry of Hawkins Co.

2006-01-07 03:34:50Z

My brother, last name Holt, recently did DNA testing in hopes of finding what Holt ancestral line we came from; however, the person he matched exactly was not a Holt, but a Quarry. We haven't gotten any responses from this person when we've inquired about his ancestral history, but this info on Hawkins Co., TN, is intriquing. My Holts came from this area, and my gr-gr-gr-grandfather was supposedly a Methodist preacher, the same as the Quarry discussed in these posts. Also, he named my gr-gr-grandfather "Pleasant", which is a name in the Quarry info also. Perhaps all this is coincidental, but if anyone knows of a Quarry orphan who might have been raised by Holts and give the name of Holt, that could explain the DNA fiasco. Just call this "grasping at straws."

Re: Quarrys from Philadelphia

tedweiland — 2006-01-03 18:24:37Z

I have a bunch of Quarries who lived in Philadelphia (emigrated in the late 90s) - they came over from Dungarvan, Co. Waterford in Ireland, so that's a location you might want to check for the Quarry name.

Becky,
Sounds great, I will look through the info. I have and get back with you. Herold Quarry has been very helpful with my Quary line. He posts on the message board if you would like to get in touch with him. He has a lot of information on the Quary/Quarry line. Do you live in Texas?
Darla

Re: Quarry's in NE TX

beckyrd — 2005-06-05 18:58:04Z

Darla, it's possible that we are related if only because of location. The person I was looking for is Myrtle Boofer Quarry (also have found it spelled queary, though). She was also from Hopkins, Co. TX and possibly married a nephew of your great grandmother. She was born between 1908 and 1918. I don't have the exact date in front of me. If I come across any info I will get it to you and if you happen across her name, let me know. I will probably be in Hopkins Co this summer doing some research. If you would like me check on a record, let me know.

Becky

Re: boofer

beckyrd — 2005-06-05 18:52:23Z

Justin, I don't know much about any Boofers now. My grandmother was a Boofer from East Texas, mostly Hopkins and Hunt county. She had a brother Clyde who I don't think had sons, her brother Jake had a son named Joseph Duane, who I believe had a son who last I knew was in Pheonix, don't know his name, though. That group was mostly in AZ. My mother was an only child, and really didn't keep in touch with cousins, etc. Good luck, though.

Hi Ted,

I am excited by your message because I believe we are looking into the same family. I have just begun researching my family. I was looking for information on a Tom and Mary (Tobin) Quarry. They came from Dungarven Ireland into the Port of Philadelphia in the late 1800's. If this is in fact the same family, the child Anna is my grand-mother. Please contact me, we may be researching the same famly!

Thank you,

Kathy (Kelly) Senin

Re: Thomas Quarry in Co. Waterford

kandmsenin — 2005-04-30 02:34:09Z

Yes, I am Thomas's youngest daughter! I can't believe it! I can help you with anything about this part of the family if you'd like. We recently went to Ireland and visited the family in Dungarven Ireland. We then wanted to create a family tree to show just exactly we were related. What is your relation to the family? Does this make us some kind of distant cousins??

This is very exciting! If it's okay with you, I'm going to send you an email to fill you in with what I know -- I'm sure there is more that you could help me with! Your grandmother Anna's sister, Kathryn, is my great-great-grandmother. I've had very little response about the Quarrys before you!

Re: Thomas Quarry in Co. Waterford

2004-09-08 21:41:08Z

Hi Kathy! From what appears to be your maiden name (in your reply), I would guess this is indeed the same family that we are researching! I know Thomas and Mary's daughter Anna married a Michael Kelly and they had at least five children that I know of : Kathleen T. Kelly, Patricia (married Leahy), Mary (married Binstead), Regina and Thomas. I don't know everything about their family; most of my research has been through Anna's sister, Kathryn Quarry Dunn, who is my maternal great-great-grandmother.

If these details correspond with information you know, please get in touch with me either via this board or by email at tedweiland@hotmail.com or ted@theweilands.net. I would love to hear more if indeed this is the same family. I have more information that I have uncovered since this message board posting.

Re: Thomas Quarry in Co. Waterford

tedweiland — 2004-07-09 02:03:50Z

I've been tracing my family tree and found my 4 times great grandparents James Quarry and Catherine McGrath, living in Dungarvan, Waterford in early 1800s. Their children are:
Julianna(b.28.02.1812), Joanna(b.14.07.1813), Edward(b.07.01.1815), twins Honora &Bridget(b.03.08.1817), Mary(b.03.02.1819), William(b.16.01.1822), James(1826), John(b.27.03.1831) Catherine(b.13.07.1834).

Quarrys from Philadelphia

maq200 — 2004-05-08 20:27:25Z

I am searching for the history of my great-grandfather, Daniel Quarry, who was born in Ireland around 1865 and emigrated to the U.S. around 1879. He was married to Mary, also from Ireland, and had 2 sons, James D. and Leo. The family lived at 1539 N. 24th Street in Philly at the time of the 1920 census. The family stayed in the Philadelphia area, where my father, James J. Quarry, son of James D., was born and raised. I'd love to find out where the family originated in Ireland.
