Dr. Quincy Adams Tipton was born in Fayette County, Tenn., June 10, 1844, and is one of five children born to Pleasant M. and Charity Lawrence (Allen) Tipton, who were also born in Tennessee, in 1812 and 1811, and died there in 1875 and 1865, respectively. The father was a farmer and miller, and he and his wife were members of the Missionary Baptist Church. Their children who are living are Jonathan D. B. (a miller of Finley, Tenn.), Pleasant L. (who is in partnership with his brother, Jonathan D. B., at Finley), Preston M. (an attorney at Dyersburg, Tenn.,) and Dr. Quincy A. The latter was educated in the schools of Dyersburg, Tenn., and when the war broke out he left home and joined Company N, Heavy Artillery, at Island No. 10, and after that place was taken by the Union soldiers he attached himself to Forrest’s cavalry; Company E, Fourteenth Regiment, and served until the close of the war, having been a participant in nearly all the principal battles in which Forrest took part. After the war he returned home, and in 1866 went to Lauderdale County, Tenn., where he studied medicine under Drs. Johnson and Walker. In 1869 and 1870 he attended the Medical University of Louisville, Ky., and then came to Pemiscot County, Mo., and in 1871 again attended the University at Louisville. He received his diploma in 1877, and since then has been a practicing physician of Pemiscot County, and has been very successful. He has always taken an active part in politics, and supports the Democratic party. He belongs to the A. F. & A. M., and represented his lodge in the Grand Lodge of Missouri. February 16, 1871, he married Louisa Cavender, who was born in Perry County, Ind., in 1853, and died in 1874. She left one child, Ada, who died when three years of age. March 7, 1877, the Doctor married Mattie Ellen Garrett, who was born in Evansville, Ind., March 20, 1855. This union has been blessed with three children: Minnie A., Quincy C. and Pleasant Corydon. The Doctor and wife are members of the Missionary Baptist Church.
