Quincy, Eliza Susan, 1798-1884 - Social Networks and Archival Context (original ) (raw )Eliza Susan Quincy (1798-1884) was the daughter of Josiah Quincy (1772-1864), congressman, Massachusetts state senator, and president of Harvard University. Her great-grandfather was Colonel Josiah Quincy (1710-1784). His fortune was increased when the merchant vessel Bethell, of which he was part owner, captured a Spanish treasure ship. In 1770, he built a large house in that part of Braintree, Massachusetts, which later became Quincy. Eliza Susan and her sisters Abigail Phillips (1803-1893) and Mary Sophia (1805-1886) inherited the house. They had two other sisters (Margaret Morton and Anna Cabot Lowell) and three brothers (Josiah, Edmund, and John Morton) as well. Eliza Susan was also a talented amateur artist. The Quincy House is now owned by Historic New England.
