(**The church records record a Jon- Quimby, son of Jno- Quimby, and also refereces him as Jno- Jr., so it is unclear if this indicates #66 Jonathan or #67 John QUIMBY, both are quite possible, so notations are being included under both Quimby brothers at this time ~ research is ongoing.)

A descendant, Winthrop
Langley, 1758-1839, early settled in
Guilford, on the Daniel Webster Highway, just across Long Bay,
at a point called Langley's Cove. He came from Newmarket in
1775. He married Achsah Quimby, daughter of John Quimby of
Guilford, in 1813. John Quimby was captain in N. H. Infantry
in 1785. Mr. Libbey, an old neighbor, remembered attending her
funeral when a small boy. She was buried beside the highway on
a small elevation, where we found twelve graves, under some
pretty pine trees, with field stones for head and foot of graves
(the cuttings nearly worn off by the elements), which is the last
resting place of the Langley family, just across from Quimby
Island, in Langley Cove that formerly was main land, but the
water has worn a passage and made it an island.
Winthrop Langley owned four pieces of land in 1789;
