A woman flying historian, so to speak, did a magnificent one-volume ( Harriet Quimby scrapbook) a few years ago which is the definitive and balanced view of this historical Lady and her many roles- she had other activities- was a journalist for a prominent magazine at the time of her death! as well as an exhibition airwoman. There is no mention in the entire book- liberally photo- and sketch illustrated of her ever having been married. Quimby is a popular ( Boston name) but she did not come from Boston, though she died there in her fatal crash landing. I have visited her grave site in Kensico Cemetery and there is no hint of her ever having been married it is just Miss Harriet Quimby, summary of her flying career and also that she was dramatic editor of Leslie"s weekly but no hint of her being married.
No, as far as is known. Harriet was never married, she held a variety of jobs and hobbies in the New York area and shared an apartment with an aspiring actress at the Victoria Hotel ( since demolished) . She did not have any kids- to our knowledge.
