Notes:

QUINN Sidney Paul Quinn passed away on Tuesday, March 4, 2014 after a long battle with cancer. He was 81 years old. Mr. Quinn was born in Sturgis, MS to the late Grady and Lucine Quinn, joining his brother, the late James Quinn. As a young man, Mr. Quinn moved to New Orleans to be among his mother's extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins. It was in New Orleans that he met and married the love of his life, Mrs. Patricia Ann Quinn. Over the course of his 55 years of marriage to Patricia, Mr. Quinn's life was enriched by the lives of his children; Pamela, Cynthia, Mary, Kathy and Michael. Counting the many blessings of his family, he would often remark "I'm the richest man in the world." Mr. Quinn dearly loved each of his children's spouses; Jorge, Todd, Jon, Tony and Michele. His ten grandchildren and 1 great grandchild were a great source of pride and joy; Joshua, Amanda, Christopher, Heather, Alexander, Quinn, Jonathan, Avery, Kirby, Abigail and little Jack. In the final years of his life, Mr. Quinn never missed an opportunity to express his gratitude to those who cared for him and about him. He endured nearly six painful years without complaint or regret. He was fortified by simple things; phone calls from cousins, friends and laughter with everyone who visited. Mr. Quinn was heartened by the wonderful care he received from Notre Dame Hospice. He was deeply touched by the constant stream of support from the St. Anselm Church community. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a memorial Mass on Monday, March 10, 2014 at 11 am at St. Anselm Catholic Church, 306 St. Mary St, Madisonville, LA 70447. Visitation will be held from 10 am until service time. Interment will follow in Pinecrest Memorial Gardens, Covington, LA. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions in memory of Sidney P. Quinn be made to Notre Dame Hospice or the St. Anselm Building Fund. Please sign the online Guest Book at www.ejfieldingfh.com.

Notes:

Owner of La Bella Creole Dairy. Bennie Zahn wrote, in the January 9, 2000 issue of THE TIMES-PICAYUNE (Living, Section E, page 7), that "The property was originally acquired in the late 1800s by John Morlas who made the purchase with silver dollar coins collected from wealthy customers on his milk route. The family legend is, that whenever he was given a silver dollar in payment for milk and cream, he tossed it onto the top of the armoire in his bedroom. When this property which adjoined the Tulane (University) tract was put on the market, he gathered all of the silver coins, counted them and found that he had $8,000, enough to buy the property. After his death in 1923, his wife, Lucine Roquevert Morlas, sold part of the tract, about 3,800 feet long with a depth varying from 100 to 140 feet, for $100,000 for the then proposed St. Vincent Infant Asylum. Within a year, the property was resold for $165,000 to men who had successful experience in local developement and who started immediately to beautify the ground. Today the property is called Versailles Boulevard and extends from Claiborne Avenue to Fontainebleau Drive."

John married Lucine Roquevert on 28 May 1888 in St. Stephen's Church, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Lucine (daughter of Jean Louis Roquevert and Blazine Pene) was born on 28 Jan 1869 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana; died on 16 Feb 1946 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana; was buried in Metairie Cemetery (Lake Lawn Metairie), New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana.

Notes:

(Research):An mtDNA sample supplied a direct female descendant of Lucine (a child of Pat McGuire, the daughter of Josephine Morlas), was analyzed by FamilyTreeDNA in Houston. Their analysis showed the following Haplogroup assignment, along with the following differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence.

HVR1 Haplogroup
K
HVR1 differences
from ?u?CRS?/u?
16224C
16519C

The mitochondrial super-haplogroup U encompasses haplogroups U1-U7 and haplogroup K. Haplogroup K is found through Europe, and contains multiple closely related lineages indicating a recent population expansion. The origin of haplogroup K dates to approximately 16,000 years ago, and it has been suggested that individuals with this haplogroup took part in the pre-Neolithic expansion following the Last Glacial Maximum. William Hurst, on his Haplogroup K Website, writes that "Katrine," the founding mother of mitochondrial DNA haplogroup K, was one of the "Seven Daughters of Eve" as listed in the 2001 book of that title by Bryan Sykes. A lot of happened since 2001, but the book is still valuable.

Katrine lived about 16,000 years ago. Perhaps the oldest known K descendant was Oetzi the Iceman whose frozen body was discovered in the Alps in 1991. Estimated at 5000 years old, the Iceman proved to have the basic mutations for a K: 16224C and 16320C. Every K is a cousin of Oetzi.
