According to our McQuigg family history, Patience McQuigg was born in Derry, Rockingham Co., NH, the last child to be born there, before the McQuigg family moved to Owego, Tioga Co., NY. This is the first time I have heard about the posibility that they were in Ulster Co., NY. It's certainly possible that the family passed through Ulster County, on their way to Tioga County. In the History of Tioga County, it stated that Patience's father, John McQuigg came to Owego in 1788, but no definite information about him prior to that year, as far as where he resided. John McQuigg had a brother David McQuigg, who dropped the "Mc" from his surname and that line descended as Quigg, but as far as I know, his line was the only one to do so, although the occasional census record has several of John's line incorrectly listed as Quigg. Your reply has brought up new questions and I appreciate your sharing. Thank you very much.
