Quiret de Margency was the son of Adrien Cuyret (d. 1744) and Marie Madeleine d'Hocquinquant (d. 1761), married since 4 May 1718. In 1731, the father acquired in the town of Margency a manor and bailiwick of the previous owners for 57,000 livres.

He had a friendly relation with Jean-Jacques Rousseau. De Margency wrote some articles for the sixth and seventh volumes of the Encyclopédie by Denis Diderot: Faveurs, Fidélité, Fleurette and Galanterie. In 1761, de Margency was subject to a creative crisis similar to that of an experienced colleague, Joseph-François-Édouard de Corsembleu.
