In 1801, Mr. Quinn was ordained deacon at the >Baltimore Conference, by Bishop Whatcoat and appointed to the Erie >circuit, then for the first time supplied.--In 1802, he was sent to the >Winchester circuit, Pennsylvania. The following year he was sent by >Bishop Asbury to the Red Stone circuit, lying in the Allegheny >mountains. In 1803, he was married. At the close of Mr. Quinn’s term >at Red Stone, he was, at his own request, transferred to the Western >Conference, and removed to Fairfield county, Ohio. The Western >Conference, was that year held at a church near Cynthiana, Kentucky, in >October, at which McKendress presided.

In 1805, he was returned to the same >circuit, and the following year, he and Peter Cartwright were placed on >the Scioto circuit, which included Highland County. In 1829, he >purchased a farm on hundred acres in this county, to which he >subsequently moved his family, and made his permanent home. The farm >lies in the present township of Union. The house was the old fashioned >hewed log with stone chimneys, and he named it Rural Cottage. At this >quiet retreat, he died on the first day of December 1847--aged >seventy-two years > >My Quinn is often spoken of by one the family of Mrs. Jane Trimble, who >saw him at her cabin in 1807. He says: "I distinctly recollect the >advent among us of the Rev. James Quinn, so long and so favorable known >to the people of Highland. His youthful and manly form, his fine >expression and amiable face--calm and dignified--yet flushed with zeal >in his Master's cause--self-sacrificing and devoted itinerant preacher, >on the first circuit of Highland, gathering up and watching over the >scattered flock of humble and devoted Christians. He had first preached >at old father Fitzpatrick's and had then come, across the woods, some >six miles, to visit our family. His manners and exterior gave assurance >of a gentleman, and his first words of salutation were a passport to the >contidence, regard and esteem of all who made his acquaintance. His >visit was a most pleasant and agreeable surprise to the younger members >of the family, who felt at once the mesmeric influence of his mild, >persuasive language and unobtrusive worth. Such was then James Quinn, >who lived to impress, indelibly, his excellence and his virtues upon the >hearts of all who lived under his ministry. > >"He made an appointment to preach at our cabin--perhaps on his next >circuit--notice of which was given out at the "raisings' and "huskings" >through the settlement. It was quite a novelty; and, of course, a >stirring event in the neighborhood, and at the time specified, he had a >large and attentive audience.--The costume of the young gentlemen and >ladies in attendance at that meeting was somewhat different from the >prevailing fashions of the present era, and particularly well adapted to >the manners and customs of the pioneer settlement, who frugality and >economy were virtues of necessity, and when none indulged in the >luxuries of foreign merchandise. > >While Mr. Quinn remained, my brother, who had purchased a violin, and >was taking lessons from uncle Tom, who had the characteristic fondness >of his race for music, frequently accompanied favorite hymns on the >instrument to which Mr. Quinn listened with apparent satisfaction. On >his subsequent visit, he brought with him a brother in the ministry, by >the name of LADD, a tall, dark haired, sallow complicated man ,who spoke >in sadness, and whose salutations were in deep-drawn sighs and constant >groans. He was the exact antipodes of his friend, Mr. Quinn, and stood >out in bold relief and sombre contrast to that mild and amiable >gentleman. It was early evening when they arrived and a cordial >greeting awaited them by the family. Seated before the wide and >spacious hearth, (for it was early winter) Mr. Quinn was polite, >sociable and agreeable to all, while his sombre and Rev. companion was >absorbed in deep and profound meditation, in distant and cold reserve. > I recoiled, instinctively from his presence, and stood near Mr.Quinn, >whose hand was immediately laid familiarly on my flaxen head. The eyes >of the melancholy preacher were rolling around the apartment, >scrutinizing its arrangements and appurtenances. At length with >surprise and harrow, they rested upon the head of the violin, which was >projecting from the canopy of the bed curtains. Striding across the >room, his eyes steadily fixed on the object, he easily brought it down >from its perch, and contemplating it with a severe, and withering frown >of apparent sorrow and a deep indignant groad, walked, with a stern >stop, back to the quiet circle with the ill fated "harp of a thousand >strings" (at least sounds) in his grasp, and demanded, in deep, hoarse, >sepulchral tones, whose "devil's instrument is this that has a place in >this house.” The shock to ears polite and to the hospitable hearth, was >rude and unlooked for. The owner with much deference, explained both >his own interest in it, and the innocent uses to which its melodious >tones were applied, but it required the kind and gentle interposition of >Mr. Quinn to save the unoffending instrument, from a hasty and >ignominious immolation in the fire, for the wrath of brother Ladd was >great.

This is the outcome of trouble which began in the Probate Court over the settlement of the estate, said to be worth about $25,000. The circumstances, which appeared in this paper at some length at the time, were that Mrs. Eliazbeth DECKER applied for an increase of the amount allowed her for her support. Her husband's sister's children, who were among the devisees of the will, filed objections. Judge SATLIN granted an increase, and the FARRANDs appealed to the Chancery Court. Mrs. DECKER in 1851 ran away from her home in Licking county and was married in this city to William W. WRIGHT, whom she thought had been killed in a railroad accident a few months later. The FARRANDs discovered he was sill alive and allege that her marriage with Elias DECKER in 1867, fifteen years after her escapade with William WRIGHT, was a pretended marriage since her first husband had never procured a divorce. They ask the court to declare that she is only a trustee acting for them; that the will be declared null and void, so far as it relates to her, and judgement be given against her for rent of the premises from the date of the filing of the suit. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V03 Issue #148 *******************************************
