DESCENDANTS OF JOHN EDWARD QUIG AND EMMA LaCLAIR
BERRY FIRST GENERATION William P. QUIGG. The following is quoted from e-mails dated
February 2000 from Jacqueline Quig Burg (JQB) of Florence, NJ. JQB is the
daughter of John Wallace Quig and granddaughter of Edward Albert and Mary
Hoffner Quig. "My father
brought over a family bible he had in his possession. My dad said he got the
bible from Alice Quig after Ed died, so it may be the one Aunt Jess had. It is
very old about 4 inches thick. On the cover is ornately engraved Hamlet H.
& Anna R. Berry. Inside it says a gift from my pop December 15, 1875.
Apparently this was given to Emma LaClair." Inside are original
birth and death entries: Hamlet H. Berry

marriage certificate dated 6/4/1865 for William P. Quigg and Sarah H. Hunsworth
married in Philadelphia. Also notes that
John Edward Quig was their only son. Apparently the two G's were last used by
William. I also have exact
dates for: Jessie Emma born

I heard she gave a lot to the neighbors. There was a neighbor named Lorraine she was close to and she gave her many hummels. She had a large collection. I was not involved in any of this so I don't really know and I don't think the neighbors were interested in family papers. Ed and Jess were sort of on the outs. He went to visit her in the Masonic Home and I heard she told him not to visit her. But they both were stubborn and he said he will visit her anyway."
