When the chapter was organized
in 1913, three
potential names were submitted to National Headquarters. Judith
Robinson was accepted.
Judith was the wife of Peter Quin, both early settlers of Pike County.
Five of
the charter members were their descendants. Many other members have
been
eligible through this line.
Other than her birthday, little
is known of
Judith prior to her marriage to Peter, at the age of 16. Their life was
chronicled in two family histories. The first, "The Family History of
Peter
Quin," was begun in 1922 by Madge Quin Fugler, our first regent, and
completed between 1963 and 1970 by Jerome C. Hafter. The other, "Judith
Robinson Quin 1760-1840: An American Patriot," was compiled by Dr.
Marian
Alford Mixon Houk. All researchers were descendants of Judith.
At the age of 51, the Quins and
six of their
seven living children moved to the Mississippi Territory. Among the
first
settlers of what is now eastern Pike County, the Quins were leaders in
the
activities of the Territory, and later, the state, just as their
descendants are
today.
Our
chapter is proud to bear the name of a woman whose life exemplified the
tenets
of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution: God,
Home, and
Country.
