I am researching this family. We have rather good information for the family after leaving Ireland, but little information about the family back in Ireland. In fact, all we know is the name of the husband whose widow took all (?) their children to America. We would be happy to share what we know and would be deligted to learn more or get copies of family pictures and documents.

If one searches the BLM Land Patents database at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/, there are lots of the early Quinlans there.
Below are two exerpts from "The 1885 History of McHenry County". Please note that the facts are not to be 100% trusted. For instance, the two exerpts from the same book give a different name for Humphrey's wife. (Yet the name is close enough that there probably aren't two different wives represented.) Also, if you do the math on Humphrey's given birth year and age at his father's death, John Quinlan died before the last three of his children were born - four years before the last!
