Joseph F. Quinn

Joseph F. Quinn (1857-1929) was the first Irishman appointed to the bench in Massachusetts where he served on the Essex County Superior Court. He lived in Salem and was the son of an immigrant from the days of the potato famine. Judge Quinn was associated with John F. Fitzgerald and Patrick Kennedy (P. J. Kennedy), with his son being Kennedy's son Joseph Kennedy's roommate at Harvard University at one point. His great grandson, Joseph F. Quinn (1947-) is a noted economist on social security issues who was formerly Dean of Arts & Sciences at Boston College. Judge Quinn presided over the trial of the leaders of the Lawrence textile strike in 1912 which became a national cause celebre and resulted in the defendants' acquittal.
