Notes |
- He held the office of speaker of the house of representatives longer than any other person in the provincial period, and was for forty successive years a member of the council.
In 1717, he was elected to represent Braintree at the Massachusetts General Court, was re-elected in 1719, and served in that capacity until 1740. From 1727 to 1740, he served as the Speaker of the House. In 1741, Quincy was voted out of office, but was returned there in 1744, where he served four additional years. He died on July 13, 1767 at the age of 78, only two days after the birth of his namesake grandson.
