Glendale s Quinn Families Census Enumerators listed names and dates as they understood the registrant who oft times had little or no education which led to numerous errors in names, dates and ages. I have tried to copy the census as recorded, where errors occur, I apologize. Death certificates are not available in Spartanburg for years before 1917 and Obituaries have not been put on microfilm for the years 1924 through 1929. <><> The Family of John and Mineisa Quinn; (name is almost illegible) John Quinn 50, husband/farmer Wife; Mineisa 44 Children; Lucinda 23 James 22 Polly 16 Nancy 13 Amanda 7 Langston 5 Julia 4 The Family of William and Elizabeth Quinn; William Quinn 48, husband/farmer Wife; Elizabeth 42 Children; Jefferson16 Elizabeth 13 The Family of William and Catherine Quinn; The 1860 Spartanburg/Bivingsville Census listed the household was listed as; William Quinn 31, husband/weaver Wife; Catherine 24 Children; Eliza 7 Lorianna 3 Ita 1 The 1870 Spartanburg Township Census listed the household as; John W Quinn 41 Wife; Catherine 34 Children; Eliza 15 Lorianna 13 Ita 10 Johnny 8 Robert 6 Carrie 2 The Family of David and Margaret Quinn; David Quinn 19, husband Wife; Margaret 18 1

Writer s comments; I was fortunate to know the William Will Quinn family, the John Handy Quinn family, the Spurgin Quinn family and the J.C. Quinn family well. They were all wonderful people. Community minded members of the Glendale Baptist Church, good hard working employees of D.E. Converse/Glendale Mills. William H. (Will) Quinn was village policeman for many years.
