Yes, the Stamford, Ct branch of the Quintards descends from Isaac, son of the immigrant Isaac and wife Jeanne Fume'.
The son Isaac’s great-great-grandson was the Rt. Rev. Charles Todd Quintard, Episcopal Bishop of Tennessee.He was born 22 December 1824 in Stamford, Connecticut, son of Isaac and Clarissa Shaw Quintard.He was educated at Trinity school in New York and then studied medicine with two noted physicians. After his graduation from the University of the City of New York in 1847, he began the practice of medicine in Athens, Georgia. On 19 Oct 1848 he married Eliza Hand in Roswell, Georgia.In 1851 he accepted the chair ofphysiology and pathological anatomy in the medical college at Memphis. Here he became one of the editors of the "Medical Recorder." At this time his mind was directed toward the ministry and he took orders in 1855 as a deacon in the Protestant Episcopal church under the direction of Bishop Otey. In 1856 he became a priest; in 1857, rector of Calvary church, Memphis; and in 1858, rector of the Church of the Advent, Nashville.
At the beginning of the Civil War, Rev. Quintard was elected Chaplain of the First Tennessee Regiment, and served in the dual capacity of Surgeion.He returned to his parish at Nashville at the close of the struggle. As Bishop Otey had died in 1863, Charles was elected Bishop of the Diocese of Tennessee on September 7, 1865, and was consecrated at St. Luke's Church, Philadelphia, on October 11, 1865. He was the first vice-chancellor of the University of the South and placed it on a sound financial basis. In the interest of this university he visited England several times, receiving large gifts of money and books. He also reorganized the school for girls established by Bishop Otey at Columbia and extended his aid to other educational institutions. In 1866 Columbia College conferred on Bishop Quintard the degree of D. D. and in 1867 Cambridge, England, gave him the degree of LLD. He died at Meridian, Georgia, February 15, 1898.Shortly after his death, the Quintard Chair of Dogmatic Theology was established in his memory at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, and still exists today.
[From: Tennessee The Volunteer State, Vol 2; biographies of professional individuals (including but not limited to finance, medicine, teaching, law and politics) residing in Tenessee from 1769-1923.]
Rev. Quintard's lineage was:
Isaac Q. & Jeanne Fume
Isaac Q. & Hannah Knapp
SGT Peter Q. & Elizabeth DeMille
Isaac Q. & Hannah Palmer
Issac Q. & Clarissa Hoyt Shaw
Rev. Charles Todd Quintard
I have some details on the persons in the lineage, but nothing on Rev. Quintard's descendants.I would think with his notoriety that there might be information in some of the online databases.
Let me know if I can help further.
