  • The Quinn family traveled with the Willie Company as far as Florence, Nebraska, where they dropped out. Though some family members continued on with the Martin Company that same year, Joseph remained in the area until 1860, when he continued on with the Joseph W. Young Freight Train (1860).

    The family sailed to America in 1856 on the ship Thornton.
