Histórico
Samuel Quincy was born in Braintree (in an area now part of the city of Quincy), Massachusetts, in 1734. He was educated at Harvard. After graduating, he studied law and was called to the Suffolk bar in 1758. Whilst his younger brother Josiah, also a lawyer, supported the American revolutionary movement, Samuel supported the British colonial government. He left America for England in 1775, shortly after the Revolution broke out, to take up a job with the British government; his wife Hannah, whom he had married in 1761, and their children remained in New England with her brother Henry Hill. In 1780 he moved to Antigua to become Comptroller of Customs, where his family were able to rejoin him. Quincy was fond of music and theatre, wrote poetry, and kept a detailed diary of his time in London and Paris.
