Subject: [NJESSEX] Quick, Carter, Roberts in Newark + Bloomfield
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 08:00:02 EST

There sure seems to be a lot of Carols (all nice, I presume) tied to this
NJEssex list. And yesterday's posting (duplicated below) of another CT Carol
reminds me of how little seems to be available about the numerous siblings
(and their descendants) of my g-g-grandfather Henry Kendall Carter
(1802-1890), a prosperous cotton broker with homes (before and after the
Civil War) in Hartford, CT, and New Orleans, LA-- and also with strong ties
to NY + NJ. He only seems to have had daughters (including one of my
great-grandmothers)-- and no sons. But, as a real LONG shot, maybe one of
his brothers was a CT ancestor of Carol's HARRY CARTER above-- or of maybe
someone else's kith or kin. Below see an abridged ancestral printout for
Marie Quick, my paternal grandmother.
Another mystery-- and one that is more clearly related to Essex County--
is why Marie Quick's grandfather John S. Quick (1812-1872)-- a well-to-do
merchant & real estate developer who was probably born in Sussex Co., NJ,
later moved to the Oranges and (even later) to Newark and New York City--
died 1872 in Bloomfield, Essex, NJ (or so says one of those published
so-called "biography" volumes-- Chicago, 1876)-- even though in 1872 he
appears to have been a resident of Brooklyn, NY (or possibly the 1872 NYC
"suburb" of Harlem, NY) and had also been spending a lot of time in & around
Chicago, IL.
Possibly John S. Quick was at a Bloomfield nursing home-- or had a sister
living in Bloomfield, but I have no info on his siblings-- and, sadly, only a
few guesses about his parents, even though his Quick ancestors appear to have
arrived in (what is now ) New York City from the Netherlands in the 1620s or
1630s. These Quicks seem to have been formerly very numerous in both NY and
NJ.
The above relates to a side of my family tree on which relatively little
research seems to have been done so far. Any suggestions by NJ Essex listers
on the above??? .........John (in Chicago)

AFN:12KK-BN4, m. 12 26 1894, in Chicago, IL, Frank Ogden MAGIE, b. 05 22
1864, Milwaukee, WI, Oil exec., d. 10 16 1919, Chicago, IL, bur: Rosehill
Cem., Chicago. Marie died 05 08 1937, Winnetka, Cook, IL, bur: Rosehill Cem.


PARENTS:
2. John Henry Stephens QUICK b. 01 13 1837, Newark, Essex, NJ,
attorney, m. 10 03 1860, in Hartford, Hartford, CT, Henrietta Bartram CARTER.
John died 03 02 1921, Chicago, IL, bur: Green-Wood Cem., Brooklyn, NY. He
was an 1858 graduate of Trinity College at Hartford, CT. He was admitted to
the NY bar in 1862 and in 1864 moved to Chicago. He and his father John S.
Quick were major real estate developers (beginning in 1852) of the present
Chicago suburbs of River Forest and Forest Park, IL.
3. Henrietta Bartram CARTER b. 11 13 1841, Macon, Bibb, GA. d. 09 04
1912, Chicago, IL, bur: Green-Wood Cem., Brooklyn, NY.

GRANDPARENTS:
4. John S. QUICK b. (or so says a Chicago biography published in 1876)
05 10 1812, Sussex Co., NJ, dry goods wholesaler, m. 1836, in Newark, Essex,
NJ, Mary ROBERTS. John died 04 17 1872, Bloomfield, Essex, NJ, bur: 04 20
1872, Green-Wood Cem., Brooklyn, NY. John's middle name may be Snyder.
Newark + NYC directories indicate that he moved his dry goods business from
Newark to Manhattan in the late 1830s. In 1849 he retired from this to focus
on his extensive real estate holdings in suburban NYC and Chicago. Although
his main home seems to have been in Brooklyn after 1845 (although possibly
Harlem in the 1860s), the reason for his 1872 death in Bloomfield, Essex, NJ,
is a mystery (maybe he had siblings there). He was probably a son of one of
several Benjamin Quicks of Sussex Co., NJ (but WHICH one?).
5. Mary ROBERTS b. 12 23 1817, NJ or NY?, d. 12 28 1869, IL?, bur: 01
02 1870, Green-Wood Cem., Brooklyn, NY. Early Newark directories suggest she
was a daughter of Samuel Roberts, a possible former resident of Acquackanonk
Twp., Passaic (formerly Essex), NJ.
6. Henry Kendall CARTER b. 06 02 1802, Hartford, CT, AFN:S17S-JN, m. in
Hartford, CT, Henrietta WHITLOCK. Henry died 02 28 1890, Newington,
Hartford, CT, bur: Grace Episcopal Church, Jamaica, NY. Beginning in the
late 1830s, he had a cotton plantation near Macon, GA, but he was later
primarily a cotton broker with homes in Hartford, CT, and New Orleans, LA.
The 1860 CT Census valued his Hartford assets at $400,000 (WHAT happened to
all this?).
7. Henrietta WHITLOCK b. 05 28 1809, CT, d. 01 18 1867, NY, bur: Grace
Epis, Church, Jamaica, NY. William Lupton Johnson, longtime Rector of Grace
(NY State's second oldest Episcopal congregation), was a brother-in-law of
Henrietta.

be a descendant of Thomas Carter (1609-1684), who graduated from Cambridge
Univ. in England in 1633, moved to MA in 1636, and served as the first
Puritan minister at Woburn, MA, 1642-1684.
