TheQuincy family/ˈkwɪnzi/ was a prominentpolitical family inMassachusetts from the mid-17th century through to the early 20th century. It is connected to theAdams political family throughAbigail Adams.^[1][2][3]

The family estate was inMount Wollaston, first independent, then part ofBraintree, Massachusetts, and now the city ofQuincy. The remaining pieces of the Quincy homestead are theJosiah Quincy House and theDorothy Quincy Homestead, after the land was broken up into building lots calledWollaston Park in the 19th century and theJosiah Quincy Mansion was demolished in 1969.

The names of PresidentJohn Quincy Adams,several American towns,USS Quincy,Quincy House at Harvard, Quincy House inWashington, D.C., andQuincy Market inBoston are among the legacies of the Quincy family name.
